He's Coming Soon!

Hello, my name is Mark, I'm from Alberta, Canada. I just wanted to ask for your home address or a box number where I can send the money you freely asked me for. Can I ask one thing, What are you going to do when the anti-christ arrives on the seen and the false prophet says to the world to make an image of the beast and worship it, and the image could kill those who do not worship it. I really believe you know all what the bible has to say so you must know the endtimes stuff. You consider yourselves to be an athiest and athiests don't believe in any god, so you will never worship the beast then, right? So if the beast says for example 'worship me and live, or die for the name, and word of Jesus" (Revelation 20:4). What will an athiest do at that time (there is only two choices). He will save his butt because he "received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:"

I love jesus

I can't believe that there are people out there who would set up a page such as this... and it surprises me that the individuals who write here can say what they do. The one thing that surprises me is that you all knew God at a personal level at one point and know what he can do for you, and yet you can send in emails that hit him in the face and talk about him in such a manner... as if he doesn't mean anything. Shame on all of you for what you are doing to God. You all know that what you are doing is a sin... I'm sorry I won't be seeing you in Heaven. yours truly , Catherine God bless you all ...and please think about what you are doing to yourself.

Between the lines

I had never been a faithful churchgoer or a really religious person, but I had never seriously doubted the existence of God until I was tasked to write a paper on the history of the Church. I was flabbergasted by what I found. A few of the more troubling revelations are listed below: Before the council of Nicae in the fourth century Christ was deemed a great man and an important prophet, but a man nonetheless. At the council of Nicae It was voted on(!) that the church should decry Jesus as the son of god to cement the church's position and to make the leader of the church unchallengeable. The church then proceded to destroy any religious opposition it could get its grimy little hands on. The lesson here is that the church was created by mere men with a political agenda. These men usurped the power of "god" for their own gain. At the same council of Nicae the books of the bible were collected and assembled. Only a few dozen of the hundreds of gospels made it

I do believe in God

Hi, Was perusing your website, and for some reason, felt compelled to write you. As a professional with a post-graduate education, I can appreciate your admittedly intelligent discussions in many of the "controversial" areas that so often become arguments about religion. You seem to have a reasonable understanding of logic and the correct use of the word "fallacy". I too believe it is important to not throw our brains out the window. Scientific method is not "evil". My entire career is based on evidence and science, because I make diagnoses under the microscope every day. In all my training and understanding of the human body, cancer, and science in general, though- I have personally come to the conclusion that there is much that we do not understand, and will never understand. I do believe in God. Bear with me... I understand the "burden of proof" game. I certainly cannot prove my beliefs to you, or anyone. However

Illegal Christians

Are there any good cities in the USA to live in where either churches are illegal or where people have common sense? Please tell me I'm desparate. I feel like the guy who killed a number of people in a Ft. Worth baptist church on a shooting spree where he walked in one Sunday morning running through the church shooting and saying, "how can any of you believe this crap!" I really need to get out of here because at least 90% of the people vote Republican and there are churches almost everywhere. I feel like the spaces are closing in on me. Help me please! angeliccrusader1@yahoo.com

SIMONE- pop culture commentary, or Religious Allegory?

sent in by Deamond I rented the Movie "Simone", partly because of my personal interest in CGI (I have Poser 4, 5, 3D Studio Max 5, and some Freeware called Anim8or, but that's a whole other story.) The movie is about a director who, frustrated with an ultra-demanding lead actress (Winona Reider) begins to use some CGI software called "Simulation One" to create an artificial actress named "Simone". Reider is replaced in the movie entirely because of a disagreement about a trailer. She wanted the biggest trailer on the lot, and he got a trailer so long they don't even make 'em that long anymore, but the trailer right next to hers happened to be TALLER. He desperately tried to claim the tires were over inflated, but she stormed out anyway, and her lawyer informed him that if even a single frame of Reider's footage is used, she'll sue. I won't bother explaining how he got the software, but he used it to finish the movie,

Ten questions presented to Christians

I recently read the Ten questions presented to Christians. I thought I'd give a shot at answering them if you're actually interested in hearing. I warn that it will be a long explanation, however, you did ask the questions. 1. Where is the justice in punishing us for Adam's sin? If the bible itself says that children will not be punished for the parent's sins (Deut. 24:16) That particular reference in Dueteronomy was pertaining to to law codes of the ancient near east, in some cases a son was permitted to be put to death in place of his father (e.g. Code of Hammurabi, Law 230), though again, no court records indicate that this was ever enforced. MOSES forbade such practices: each is to die for his own sin... I suppose I'll start by answering another question first. It's actually the second question asked. How could Adam and Eve ever have sinned if God actually created them perfect, even if they did have free will? If God created them imperfect, how could a pe

Hunters in the woods

Hello, my name is Colin Benson. I wrote the following story this evening after reading a slightly similar story from a joke book. I hope you like it, you may post this story on your website if you wish Two deer hunters get lost in the woods only a mile apart during a cool autumn day. One of them is an atheist, the other is a christian. Both have some experience with the outdoors. Both have survival gear, maps, food and so forth in their packs and both live alone in cabins with no contact with the outside world, so there is little hope of and type of rescue. The atheist says to himself "OK, I'm lost. There is no need for me to panic. I will use my map, compass and outdoor experience to find my way home again." He starts off towards the north where he thinks Red lake is located. The Christian says to himself "OK, I'm lost. My only hope is to pray for God's help." He gets down on his knees and begins praying. An hour later, the atheist arrives
