You're lying, you dishonest atheist.

He/she isn't lying.
Allah is a name of "god."
Not your god, perhaps... but certainly a close relative of his.

If Abraham had been content with only one wife, Christianity and Islam might never have been at each others throats.

— Psalm 103:20-22 —

Praise the Lord, you his angels,

Philippians 4:12

New International Version

"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want."

----------

The trick is to learn to be happy, and to make the most of life, regardless of the situation, while we try to improve things.

All the best,

King James Version (KJV)

"I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."

Works for me.

Jesus turned and saw her. "Take heart, daughter," he said, "your faith has healed you." And the woman was healed from that moment.

Not all of us can be upright and strong WITW.

If you don't enter into a telepathic contract with Yaweh through his legal representation. You are in serious imaginary danger of facing indefinate detention complete with enhanced interrogation techniques.

Believers don't have to consern themselves with such things.

And, that is why churches have lightning rods.

Miracles are in the eye of the beholder.

If you believe in them and you actively seek them out, you will find them.

If you get into a serious automobile accident there are miracles everywhere.

If you survive unscathed...miracle.
If you are injured...miracle it wasn't worse.
If you end up paralyzed...miracle you lived.
If you die...miracle no one else was hurt.

The truely insane will tell you it is a miracle the accident happened. For the events that followed weren't as bad as the accident. Hence, it set into motion another series of miracles.

To football fans, the immaculate reception was a miracle.
To Steeler fans, direct intervention by a supreme being.
To Franco Harris, right place at the right time.

The truth is to most people, miracles are a rather cheap way of describing probability vs. outcome. So in that light, miracles are not only real, they are downright commonplace everyday occurances.

The dictionary standard for a miracle---
an effect or extraordinary event in the physical world that surpasses all known human or natural powers and is ascribed to a supernatural cause.---

The problem with miracles are that the "physical world" is governed by physics. Physics doesn't bend or repeal it's self for anyone. No matter what the situation may be.

None at all. I made that up.
And no, I won't be "going" there either.
It's just a mythological place, created by the imaginations of primitive superstitious people to explain why Life is not Fair. And for the controlling of the population by a few con men who like power..you know, the leaders of the churches.
The only people living in "hell" are those living today in fear, poverty, oppression, disease and superstition.
Life is what you make of it.
Being dead is being nothing.

You're lying again.

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come. But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. So you also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."

Matthew 24:42-44

"Come to me, all of you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

– Matthew 11:28-30

Take an x-ray of someone diagnosed with incurable lung cancer, someone whose death is imminent. Under controlled conditions, enlist a supposed faith healer to do a laying on of hands. Take another x-ray. If the lungs are now spotless and healthy, I'd convert in a heartbeat. Wanna bet I won't be joining you any time soon?

Top Ten Signs You are a Fundamentalist Christian

10 - You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.

9 - You feel insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

8 - You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.

7 - Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!

6 - You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.

5 - You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

4 - You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs -- though excluding those in all rival sects - will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most "tolerant" and "loving."

3 - While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in "tongues" may be all the evidence you need to "prove" Christianity.

2 - You define 0.01% as a "high success rate" when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.

1 - You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history - but still call yourself a Christian.

In the end
You will find no guiding subtle light
No ancestors or friends
No judge of wrong or right
Just eternal silence and dormancy
A final everlasting peace

anyone seen a christian feed all of the starving? john 14:(blarblarblar) "I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these." how about raise the dead, or maybe go ahead and make super-sacrifice 2.0? never happened sense, where is your god now? ps: its easier to be a christian when things are crappy because you need it. notice how you stop thinking so much about jeebus when things are awesome and how easy it is to do so?

[Tony]

God is real, I am so grateful to have God in my life, and God has given me miracles.

And good Christians do good deeds, I have done charity work since I was a child. It makes me feel great to serve the Lord and to help others in need, especially helping children in need.

There is no way that I can repay God for the miracles which he has given me, but I can share my faith with other people, and I can try to lead a good life, and I can try to help others.

All the best,

Tony V.
