Onward Christian Soldiers

maildumpster @maildumpster (3815) • United States 19 May 07

LOL I thought that might grab some attention. I meant to post this right after my Attack of the Atheists conversation but was side tracked by the tattoo convention. *this discussion is pointed at anyone who has beliefs in any God...

wertzburg1 This is very true. I have to admit sometimes I lose my temper and become frustrated with a person I'm speaking with concerning God. I am a very blunt person and whether I like it or not, I have no tact. (I really am trying to work on this) But you'll always...

Do you think faith is a necessary component to atheism?

howhigh @howhigh (757) • Canada 24 Apr 07

maybe the question is better put by asking who makes the bigger leap of faith the monk or the atheist?

atheism

wertzburg1 I would say the better question is who is taking the bigger risk? The monk believes in God and therefore believes in an afterlife. He also must believe that if you don't follow God, you will be sent to hell. If believing these things to be true, you would want...

American Soliders Returning Home

Monica @momoftwingirls (859) • United States 20 May 07

Do you think our American Soldiers are being 'experimented' on over in Iraq by our Pentagon? Remember the exfoliate Agent Orange in Vietnam? This exfoliate and other chemials I am sure, made returning soldiers have major...

wertzburg1 You sound like a conspiracy theorist. Soldiers come back from war changed because war is a traumatic time. I think killing someone or hearing bullets fly every hour would change anyone. Plus, being away from family, friends, and intimate relationships can have...

Are all atheist bashers just jealous of our ability to face the truth

judyt00 @judyt00 (3497) • Canada 10 May 07

Are all atheist bashers just jealous of our ability to face the unenchanting truth? I believe some people just don't have the courage to face up to the fact that our existence did not come about by divine intention. And...

wertzburg1 So what do you think is going to happen to you when you die? You must have some theory. You can't just believe in nothing. Please, do tell.

Does GOD Make Mistakes?

cyntrow @cyntrow (8523) • United States 15 May 07

I'm not trying to start an arguement, just gauging opinion. Do you feel that God is infallible? Why or why not?

wertzburg1 I like all your points cyntrow. I believe God is perfect because he is without sin. Emotions are a human characteristic, but you can have those without sinning. Jesus was a perfect man. Yet he cried, laughed, was tempted, and got angry. But he remained...

No offence but are some christians blinded by their faith?

amiksinha @amiksinha (1960) • India 17 Sep 06

How come everytime I ask a question, christians will say that I'm not allowed to question God's reason? How come everytime I talked about feeling a good spirit helping me they say it is the devil in disguise and god is the only...

wertzburg1 The thing is, you are not capable of taking responsibility for your own sins. We all deserve death. There is nothing we can do to undeserve it. But that's why Jesus came down and died. God knew we could not do it ourselves, so He did it for us. We have...

Is Jesus returning by June? Anybody heard this before?

babygurl850406 @babygurl850406 (1322) • United States 9 May 07

I have heard on different occasions from different people that to fulfill prophecy Jesus will be returning in the rapture to gather up all the believers. Has anybody else heard this? Is it true? The reason for June is because...

6 responses

wertzburg1 Where is this prophecy? There have been several "prophecies" of men saying when the end of the world was coming, but those dates have come and gone. It is highly unlikely that the end of the world is this June. No one knows when Jesus is coming back....

Then Jesus wept. (John 11:35) Why?

My1Savior @My1Savior (125) • United States 9 May 07

This verse is the shortest verse in the NLT Bible (and other translations). I have started research on a manuscript I'm writing for college and am genuinely interested in other's opinions on why did Jesus weep? Why would God let...

wertzburg1 Jesus was a man on earth even though He's God. It's complex but first you must believe and understand this. Jesus wept because His very close friend, Lazarus, had died. He was sad. Jesus had emotions just like any of us do. He laughed and cried, he was...

Moola.com lets you play games and search the internet, but similar to mylot you win real money doing so, which you can cash out at any time. It is currently in beta and I have 3 invitations I can give out. If you want to join...

wertzburg1 Erilyn did a good job of summing it up. If you want more info check out the book "Kingdom of the Cults" by Walter Martin. It has a lot more detail on scientology. This cult seems a lot like a sci-fi novel. Hmmm... Also, money is the key to this cult. The...

Katie Holmes

silkkat @silkkat (231) • Canada 10 Dec 06

Do youthink that Katie Holmes has been "brain washed" by scientology?

wertzburg1 I think anyone who believes and follows scientology is brainwashed. It's an "out there" cult and is quite rediculous. Everyone's looking for a happy ending and they'll go anywhere to find one that suits them.

What is Scientology?

anik30 @anik30 (71) • India 8 Apr 07

I mean this guy tom cruise has sparked the interest of scientology in me and does it have some thing to do with science. Also does any one know how or when this religion was originated

scientology

wertzburg1 Actually scientology has nothing to do with science. I would say it's more similar to science fiction. A good book to check out is "Kingdom of the Cults" by Walter Martin. It has a lot of info on scientology along with other cults. It's an interesting...

wertzburg1 That's a quote from the founder of scientology, L. Ron Hubbard. He knew he would become rich if he created scientology and alas, he did. Did you know that L. Ron Hubbard was a science fiction writer and he started that "cult" from a bet? The beliefs are...

wertzburg1 I've heard from several catholics that calling a priest "father" is a form of respect. But, if that's all it is, then why are you required to confess your sins to that same person? And why can only a priest "called by God" consecrate the wine and turn water...
