Roughly what percentage of your friends are theist? Christians? Your own specific denomination?Is the term Fundamentalist offensive?ontinue my conquest for understanding: In response to Christina's definition, so I need not believe that the bible is accurate, nor that any established churches...

Again, I agree that reaching for a pronoun is pointless. I don't see much difference between a non-existing male god or a non-existing female one, but I like to switch it up now and again

My deicide question is: Even though the lyrics are completely anti-god, anti-jesus anti-christian, is it anti-chirstian of me to listen and enjoy?

Its good to see that Christians aren't as crazy as I thought. You guys are alright. I especially like the idea of non-religious Christianity. People who don't let the priests/clergy/powersthatbe dictate your beliefs. Have you ever heard of the term Freethinkers? This is people who (though...

I'm really here to gain perspective and opinions on how you Christians think. I've come to my reality, you to yours. I'm not looking for some paradigm shifting, just understanding.

Are you sceptical of the translation you currently read? Is there a consensus of which one is the closest to the ancient hebrew/greek/latin/whatever mixture? PS, guys, I want your opinions, please don't quote a verse!

QUOTE (Jordan @ Mar 8 2009, 11:47 PM) Let me ask you a question as well.What is 2 + 2? I know it's a very simple question... but my point is... Is getting the right answer (telling the Truth) a religion too? In my point of view... no.What about Satanism/devil worship? Views on that? That is...

I know plenty of Atheists who go to stump Christians with the really unanswerable/uncomfortable questions. Then the Atheist sits back and goes "look how smart I am". This is not progressive in my mind. It is mean spirited.Why try to convert an Atheist?(Does anyone know why I can't post on...

QUOTE (Jordan @ Mar 8 2009, 10:29 PM) Thank you, Christina.Atheism (or my understanding) is simply lack of belief, lack of religion. I don't assert that there IS not God. I just think that there is not. Religion (to me) has ritual, worship, code to follow, often an afterlife or reward...

I have yet another question. What are some recent movies that would be un-Christian to watch?Same question for music?Roughly what percentage of your friends are theist? Christians? Your own specific denomination?Is the term Fundamentalist offensive?

I suppose the format for this is I'll answer as many questions about Atheism. This is not "stump the atheist" nor "stump the Christian" so much as its "understanding atheism and Christianity firsthand". Ya dig? Lets start on the friendly level.What does it mean to be a Christian, at its most...
