Well, if you have a problem with everlasting fire in hell, you're not alone. I'm still working to understand what the hell "the hell" is.

I don't understand what you mean by this ... Could you expound?

This reminds me of another great passage, Matthew 25:37-40. 37 “Then the righteous will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry and feed You, or thirsty and give You drink? 38 When did we see You a stranger and take You in, or naked and clothe You? 39 Or when did we see You sick...

It's this one. Luke 23:34 (KJV) Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

I touched upon the reason why in this post. Why is everyone's life valuable? I actually have more thoughts I want to add to the above thread. I'll do so as soon as I can find time. Then I'll explain what was the deciding factor for me in becoming a believer. :)

What a brilliant comment! For me, Luke 23:34 did it. ;)

Pope John Paul II said something similar: (emphasis mine) All the just of the earth, including those who do not know Christ and his Church, who, under the influence of grace, seek God with a sincere heart (cf. Lumen gentium, n. 16), are thus called to build the kingdom of God by working with...

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I greatly enjoy a Cappella ... Here are some for the season! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukah! Have safe and joyful holidays everyone! — Most of our guests for the holiday will arrive tomorrow, and a few plan to stay thru the New Year ... So, see you guys in 2017! Happy New Year to you all too...

I'm dying to know ... Do you believe all the miracles in the New Testament actually happened (I mean the fine details aside) ... ?? Yeah I understand. But there're various interpretations ... a lot of times I don't know which ones to employ ... Is there a Catholic version of an amplified Bible...

Oh that was another thing I was wondering ... Are the Catholics in Europe different from American Catholics? They all follow the same teachings of the Church and they're not allowed to develop their own theologies without the Church's sanction ... is what I'd assume tho ... (Perhaps this is a...

So, in a nutshell, you agree with this author, Vestal, on her claim of the imperfection of the Bible (due to the authors being all humans, and not the divine) and considering the whole content of the books to be entirely Word of God is a mistake; that's not how one should read the Bible ... Am I...

Is Bart Ehrman an agnostic or atheist? I saw a few YouTube clips of him debating. He does well and quite convincing when the subject is the historical Jesus. But one time when he debated with Dinesh D'Souza (if my memory serves me right) about the problem of evil, I thought Ehrman's argument was...

I've been passing around this article in every opportunity I get to Christians I meet online and in person. If any of you has the time to read it, I'd like to hear your opinions on the article. (Criticism is welcome.) If any of you knows of an article that's similar or that you think is better...

Well, three of my believer friends gave me "Mere Christianity" when I was an atheist, of which I'm now very thankful for. I passed two of them to my atheist friends and they said they enjoyed it, and we had a good discussion about it. Even though they're not gonna change their mind about God at...

No, I wasn't joking. I don't think any of my atheist friends would be offended. Some of them will probably give me another one of Sam Harris's books anyway ... (for the record, I don't dislike Harris. He's a very articulate intelligent nice guy. His opinion on Trump is almost identical to mine...

I asked you "when" did I do that? When did I try to change your belief?

When did I do that?! YOU came to MY thread.

So it's all my fault. Get it. Good night buddy.

"All those to me are great reasons to eschew religion altogether... I am embarrassed and horrified about the number of times people have been marched to their death or to massacre others in the name of G!d." This is what you said, what am I supposed to think?
