I guess if you are in a fox hole with constant fire over your head, God would be the last thing you would think about,, thats good . Im glad I got a friend who I can count on for real, And I wish you know who he realy is, and doesnt make you feel weak to understand or know the love he has for so many, its the worst love you could never injoy somehow.

Amen to that!! At least Christians don't have to post hateful or just flat out spiteful billboards to get peoples attention. We stay quite and prey about it and it happens our lord knows how to take care of us without being quite so eccentric!

The world is in desperate need of freedom from religion not freedom of religion.

[Colorado Chick]

It's a freakin' free country...WOW! The Atheists are getting braver and braver recently declaring their stance on world religion....like I said, it's a free country...NOT MY DEAL..Casinos advertise, adult book stores do the same, so why the hype? We all have our own beliefs and it's not our place to judge anyone on their preference of who or who not they believe in...or if nothing...Movie time...

Separation of Church and State was instituted and brought into law to keep the Government out of the Church not the Church out of the Government.

These billboards do not bother me as I believe in the 1st amendment. I also know My God is more powerful than any fringe, false, idol they can come up with.

They have the right to believe in atheism, they are on the right path they are believing in something.

It's all about belief right?

They will see the error of their ways, and if they don't well we didn't want them in Heaven anyway.

--Those who curse or hit their parents. Lev 20:9, Ex 21:15

--Those who work on the Sabbath. Ex 35:2
--Moses kills a gentile for this. Num 15:32-36.
--Those who are accused by at least two people of wickedness. Deut 17:6.--The children and babies of enemies. Num 31:17, Deut 20:13, Psalm 137:9, Lev 26:29.

Good for you for knowing the bible so well. However, I hope that you were being facetious in saying the passages you quoted were "loving."

I feel sorry for anyone who believes that everything written in the bible came from diectly from God for transcription.(I thought "He" only spoke to Moses!) Anyone who believes in the bible exactly as written must believe that he or she going to "hell."

The bible also, I think, said that thinking about doing something wrong is the same as actually doing it, which means that EVERYONE who is not a "saint" or a baby is going to hell.

I, personally, believe in "judge not, lest ye be judged" and to love another as you do yourself (to paraphrase). BTW, I am an agnostic who was raised Methodist.

Anyway, I hope you and everyone who reads this has peace and goodness in life.

Tolerance is a two way street. Karl42, a moment of clarity from you. Kudos, not that you want or need my approval.

I just wanted to let you people know that Christians only follow the New Testament and the old Testament doesn't apply to them. The Old Testament is just for us to read it like history not something to follow. In the New Testament it teaches that 'thou shalt not murder and thou shall bless thine enemies'. So no, Christians are harmless. If we were to follow the Old Testament boy would we be harmful, that’s why the New Testament came out because Jesus wanted to teach us love not hate. Although Muslims refuse to follow the New Testament because they don’t want to bless their enemies they want to be murderous freaks. They follow the Old Testament for their own good.

Wrong, Jesus said: ""Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." He was referring to the Old Testament laws.

-- Matt 5:17-19

And how about those 10 Commandments? No need to follow them? Or do you just pick and choose what you want to believe?

No, that’s why were called Christians. Because we only follow the things after his comings. Yes, Jesus did fulfill the law but he also taught us to love and forgive just like he did to us and that is why he died for us, he said that now our sins are forgiven and that all we need to do is pray for forgiveness. No one on earth has the right to murder or judge another for all are sinners and only one God will judge us all on judgment day.

I am not terribly religious, but this rings as very self-serving to me. That is not what faith is supposed to be about, and people who have it understand that and those that don't, don't.

Believe what you desire. Afterall, God himself said that a human has the choice to be a believer or nonbeliever. However, if you are a believer, Christianity teaches that one can’t question God for he is our creator. So even if you do have a point going that doesn’t mean He'll appreciate it. That’s actually why the Devil got thrown from heaven. Because he started to reason God. Believe me, I see where you’re coming from, however I have no right to object God's doings for that is a sin, or at least that’s how we believe it in Christianity.

Actually, God made a human with both good and bad and He tests us to see what were more of, whether we'll listen to Him or the Devil. Life is just one big game that we all have to play in. It’s like it’s a game of chess in which we all are one game piece and God controls us, but we have no say whether you like it or not.

Hmmmm, so a puppetmaster - playing with carrot and stick? And how is that not evil?
