There are thousands of different denominations within the christian religion and each has their own interpretation of the bible.

Very often,when someone from one denomination disagrees with someone from another,the excuse is

"Well of course,they aren't true christians anyway!"

I have seen this statement made about protestants,catholics,baptists,methodists etc. etc.

So is it correct that there is no such thing as a true christian?

Does that mean that all doctors,nurses,police officers,fire personnel etc. are automatically going to hell?

I posed a question asking that if a man and a woman lived together in a loving relationship but abstained from sex,would it be a sin?

A majority of the christian answers was no.

I asked the same question but changed a man and a woman to a couple of the same sex

A majority of the christian answers was yes it would be a sin.

In both cases there is a loving relationship,in both cases there is no sex.

Why is one considered a sin and the other not?

If two people of the same sex live together in a loving relationship but abstain from sex,would you consider this a sin?

If a man and a woman live together in a loving relationship without being married but abstain from sex would you consider this to be a sin?

The bible teaches peace and tolerance.

You only have to look throughout history to see that the christian religion is far from peaceful.

Christians are also far more intolerant of others.Be it homosexuality,a different religion or in some cases a different denomination of their own religion.

Atheists don't really care what religion or sexual orientation somebody is as long as they keep it to themselves and are not breaking any laws.

Please note that I don't claim that everybody from each group is like this but it does seem to be the case with many people

With the help of my father and our friends in the oil industry,

criminal record.

one billion dollars per week.

the US stock market.

In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their

Rice, had a Chevron oil tanker named after her.

I set the record for most campaign fund-raising trips by a U.S.

President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for

receiving the most corporate campaign donations.

to assure my success with the U.S. Supreme Court during my election decision.

investigation or prosecution.

I garnered the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade

Center attacks and less than a year later made the U.S.the most hated country in the world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history.

I have set the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record for protests against any person in the history of mankind.

I am the first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked,

pre-emptive attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens, and the world community.

All records of SEC investigations into my insider trading and my

bankrupt companies are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public view.

All records or minutes from meetings that I, or my Vice-President,

attended regarding public energy policy are sealed in secrecy and

Apparently even though I have read the bible I cannot understand it because I don't have the holy spirit within me.

Also

Apparently I cannot have the holy spirit within me unless I read and understand the word of god (the bible).

Clarification please?

After meeting the Vietnamese President,Bush made the following statement.

...."It's important for our friends to have a strong commitment to human rights and freedom and democracy"

Since when has human rights and freedom bothered Bush.

There are men who have been held for years in Guantanomo Bay because they are "suspected" of having terrorist links.

They have not been charged,they have not been allowed legal representation.If there is evidence against these men,then charge them and bring them to court.

If found guilty I would gladly turn the key that locks them up myself.

Bush needs to get his own house in order before criticizing others

There are people who have been so indoctrinated in their religion they will put their love for their god or saviour before their family.

Can you imagine how their children must feel knowing that they are only second best?

If we came from God,why is there still God?

Atheists may substitute the word monkeys for god and drink

I like Spike Milligans idea.

"I told you I was ill"

Something you did?

Something you didn't do?

Something you missed out on?

Many times I see comments such as "Why do you hate God" or "All atheists are angry".

Just because we disagree with your view doesn't make us full of anger and hate.

Yes some atheists post nasty comments but so do people from all groups but at the end of the day,we don't feel hate or anger for something we don't believe exists.

Under International Aviation Law an aircraft is soveriegn territory of the country it is registered in.

After all Amnesty International is such an evil organisation

Do you really believe it is to worship god?

Do you really think that your god is so insecure and attention seeking that he would create an entire race with the sole purpose of worshipping him?

Do you really believe he is that narcissistic and self centred?

If not,what other reason would he have had to create us?
