Why Don't You Believe?

<3BlackRoseOfDeath:

1/ Everyone is a sinner. That is why Jesus was sent down, to die for our sins. There is no one but Jesus who is so pure as to not sin.

2/ Who says 'Do what I say or die and burn in hell' ?

3/ They, as in we, discriminate against other religions because, God is the only God. And against homosexauls because it is written in the Bible that that is a sin. Though I'm pretty sure, most Christians, well most I know at least anyway don't have a problem with Homosexuals.

But why set out, and go to this length, to try and 'disprove' God?

People will always have the answers for you.

Technically, as an Evangelical Christian, George Bush believe that.

good questions. i am atheist. well, you should ask them how can they prove that god exists?, not wiyh words, books or anything. materially practically prove it. hmm...maybe ask them to try and prove that jesus existed with some tooth fragment or dna or somehting...though that wouldnt make me believe...oh yeah, ask em how they know that jesus was god's son?

btw. i read some leaflet or somethin which contained a wish for teenagers to cometo the church in my school and well, i was disgusted by it...christianity has nothing to offer to me

I think that's rediculous. These people have a faith. That means they believe in something that hasn't been proven. I think asking that of someone who has such a strong belief in their faith is just offensive. There is a point where it becomes offensive to people.

And they have proven that Jesus existed. How do they know that Jesus was God's son? Seriously, please, do your research before you come here. How do they know? In numerous documents it's been stated. Not just those from Jesus, but from his eyewitnesses, his followers, even his enemies. He may or may not have been telling the truth, but there we come to something called faith, once again.

Why were you disgusted? What was so bad about it?

Ok, so George Bush believes that, but does he stand for every other Christian out there?
If, for instance this
'Do what I say or die and burn in hell' is God saying it. It's not true. Everyone sins. But that doesn't mean you wil burn in hell.If you have accepted into your life God, and that he sent Jesus down to die for your sins, then you won't be going to burn in hell. That is why Jesus was sent down, to save you from burning in hell.

I don't understand why someone would be disgusted, are you disgusted when you read articles in magazines and therefore reading advertisements, are you disgusted watching your favorite tv show and a brand product is used by an actor. A church runs on donations which is recieves from the congregations, to make sure they have a congregation they have to advertise the church and theoretically god. To be honest it's really hard to just join a church from off the street. Fliers can act as an invitation.

I'm more disgusted by teenagers swearing, drinking and leaving nothing to the imagination but no one censoring that...are they!

tyco:

im not disgusted by advertisements.. neither by a flier or joining a church... but i do dissaprove both to some extent.

also its one thing to put it on the box or on posters.. and another to put it in your face like that.. and some people go door to door advertiseing..

(my birth parents used to be jahovas witnesses and being forced to go round asking people to join up when your little and having the door slammed in your face isnt very nice for anyone so why do they do it?)

Well then you probably aren't watching tv cause with all the advertisements they do put it in your face to buy some product. I just don't get whats your problem with them giving flyers and inviting people to church. Jehovah's witnesses knocked on my door and I politely say no and thats it. Why would I be disgusted with that, its not like they asked for something wrong.

of corse.
but that dosnt mean i have to like others doing so or approve of others.
i would only do so so i could make a living and its not really the advertising i dissaprove of its the methods in which they do so. (they meaning advertisers)

Jehovah's witnesses are a very extreme demonination of the church and according to their belief system should not be used as an example of all christianity. I doubt what really happened was the flier was shoved under her nose as that technically assualt more likely it was passed to her, which isn't very forcefull really.

*notice i didn't actually quote you, so i wasn't sayg you personally were disgusted. I don't understand what you dissaprov of, if you were running an organisation would you promote it?

i dissagree they have simularitys but still very different but many religions are linked or are simular to others.

They do have similarities, they bothe believe in giving up your affluencial power to live in deliberate poverty, as a way to live in Heaven. Except Heaven is Enlightenment in Buddhism. The way that you pray is exactly the same in both religions and doesn't appear in many other religions. Throughout history (especially in the Middle Ages with travellers like Sir John Mandeville), explorers have noted East Asian religions which they thought was Christianity, but they mistook Buddhism for Christianity in actuality.
