I'm more than thankful for being in good health, and having a roof over my head. Despite being an "unholy" disbeliever God seems to be blessing me already.
For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription, TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you. God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands; Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things; And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation; That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us.. Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.-Acts17
All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not. -John1
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. -1Timothy1
I wept much, because no man was found worthy to open and to read the book, neither to look thereon.
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. -Revelation5

Maybe you're right, it's bias.....against ignorance. You don't understand christianism now and it seems to be so little the hope that one day you will. You shouldn't start this thread.

Think the ignorance all falls squarely on your slumped shoulders.
Besides your insult, I don't see signs of intelligence. Therapy must be your religion and you are late for church.

If you feel i insulted you, report me to the moderators. My intention has never been to insult or ridicule individual members of any religion.

I remember hearing this saying a while back and thought it was great: "Religion is science for idiots". No offense meant, because I'm sure many religious people on here have an extensive knowledge of science. I just find it funny that when some religious people are presented scientific theories with heaps of evidence to back them up, they deny it and say "God is responsible". I think everything has a natural scientific explanation, and before we understood why the sun sets or where Earth came from, we had to come up with our own explanation that made sense to us. God was this cop out for science and I guess people just stuck with it even though we have learned so much about the universe since then. Some powerful all-knowing entity created everything but he cannot be detected in any way, until you're conveniently dead and cannot prove to the living that he exists.
20) You trust a book written by sheepherders in a time when humans thought the world was flat and that women determined the gender of offspring, but you don't trust a book written in modern times by a scientist.
This one reminds me of the juicy statistic that God killed a total of 2,270,365 people within the Bible, and Satan killed a whopping 10 people. But watch out, Satan's gunna GETCHA!
8) Your cringe 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!
The way this one is worded just cracks me up, but I can't remember meeting too many Christians who openly make fun of other religions while simultaneously believing in their own.
7) 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.
