...maybe even moreso. emphasis mine http://www.christianitytoday.com/bc/2005/001/3.8.html Not sure how to think about this. I don't dispute the numbers. However, Christianity Today seems to present this as a bit of a rallying call. Which, in a strange way, may spin the numbers to make them...

To most Christians God is a loving being. What level of proof would it take to show you that if he exists he can't be? Are venus flytraps enough? How about the fact that cat's "play" with mice? Progeria? How about flesh eating bacteria?

So 50,000 Christians are irate about “Gerry Springer: the Opera” shown on BBC2 last Saturday -- because it was perceived as blasphemous. At least no-one was killed. In the BBC2 Report on Fallujah shown 24 Nov 2004 the BBC Middle East Correspondent invoked a Christian narrative in line with...

The Christians are Ruining Yule! - Wait Saturnalia- Or Something :) ***excuse me, Mr. O'Reilly*** Let's talk about how dishonest, unethical, and outright immoral it was to steal a pagan holiday and misrepresent it as a "Christian" holiday, just so you could make the pagan holiday a fasting day...

In the parable of the Prodigal Son, the son screws up every way possible, but when the son finally returns, at the utter end of his rope, the father takes him in and forgives all. Not so with God -- when you die after lots of sinning there will be no more forgiveness, just stern punishment - in...

(Thread author's note: anti-christian bigots are cordially disinvited from this thread.) (For the record, I am an agnostic.) A big principle of Christianity seems to be faith - that is, accepting things as true but which can't be proven - notably the existence of God himself. Now, what is...

ROCHESTER, New Hampshire (AP) -- A woman and her boyfriend are accused of plotting to sacrifice the woman's three children on a church altar. Nicole Mancini, 29, and John Thurber, 35, were arrested at St. Mary's Church on Wednesday after workers said they heard the woman say she wanted to...

Eh, I thought the title of this post was just as inflamatory and catagorically insulting as 1inC's thread. Lessee here, how can Christians be immoral...Hmmm...that's right, in much the same ways that an atheist could be. In fact, I bet Wiccans, Pagans, and Catholics can also be immoral, by...

The biblical answer is a resounding NO! Acts 19 19And many of those who had practiced curious, magical arts collected their books and [throwing them, [1] book after book, on the pile] burned them in the sight of everybody. When they counted the value of them, they found it amounted to 50,000...

Can Christians agree with Hume concerning the ultimate unknowability of reality because of sense impression limitations. Or are Christians obligated to believe that what we perceive is exactly the way it is perceived because Goid has no need to deceive as Descartes tells us? This is the first...

Questions for Christians: Question 1: If you could go back in time to be a passive spectator of the actual crucifixion of Jesus before returning to the present time, would you do it? Question 2: If you could go back in time to rescue Jesus from being crucified and get him to a safe location...

This article presents the background. We've all read it over at Rapture Ready, too. Christians are being persecuted, apparently. Partly, this is part of Jesus' prophecy, so in a way, is a good thing. Anyway, what do you say? Are Christians being persecuted?

Do Jews, Christians, and Muslims all worship the same God? The answer of yes is heard from Muslim apologists, some Orthodox Jews and also from various liberal types. The answer of no is generally heard from Christian fundies, but is probably not unique to them. My position is that the...

Here is another demonstration of the madness of Christian fundamentalism from a letter to the editor of the Charleston Post & Courier. I could not let this go unchallenged, so I sent this response, which may or may not be published:
