Luke 19:27 (ESV) But as for these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slaughter them before me. I was flabbergasted when I read this verse … “slaughter them”?! … Would Jesus ever say such a thing??? ... So, searched a bit and found this site. Which...

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...

This is a spin-off from another thread "In the beginning". Since I think the discussion has shifted outside the topic of the said thread (from around post #57 - Page 3), when I made the comment below : So ... Why is everyone's life valuable? Some would say, "What? Do you have to ask? That's...

During the course of arguing with Trumpsters, particularly when I criticized Trumps' not-so-Christian-like rhetoric and behaviors, I was often told (oh, if I had a nickel for every time), "If you're Christian, then don't judge, the Bible says so." I believe they were referring to the passage ...

This is a four-month old story, but I've been thinking about this incident still. Would it be not okay for a Christian to call other Christians "not Christian", even if there's a good reason for doing so? Fr. Jonathan Morris (I usually agree with him but not on this one) says in the YouTube...

As some of you may have taken a look at my other thread, I've been pondering the issue of self-defense. I'd like to think I'm a peace-loving guy, but I don't think I can be a complete pacifist. This issue didn't seem murky when I wasn't a believer. I always thought using force in self-defense...

I thought it's probably better to make a separate thread ... This question is more about a possible parallel between religion and science then how to read the old testament. Then may I ask about this Pope Francis v. Benedict XVI thing I read? The article below suggests Benedict XVI...

I'll start a new thread here, for my questions to you will be mostly about your religion - Islam. Do you apply the same view to the Quran too? Forgive my ignorance and super-basic questions as I have no knowledge of it ... I think the traditional belief says that the Quran was written by...

I'm a former disbeliever. I've realized my problem was not really with God, but with religionists. I didn't like what fundamentalists are saying (their anti-scientific notions and some moral issues), so I went against them and decided there was no God. Pretty simple-minded, I admit. I realized...
