why dont you believe in God anymore?^^ I just can't believe that a loving god would allow so much bad Michigan to happen in the world. he still loves us, but part of being a parent is to let your child get hurt sometimes, you know (he is like an ideal father)? what kind of parent would hover around their kid all the time, making sure nothing ever would happen to them? and most of it, we humans have just brought on ourselves, you get me? if you have any other question or if this one is unsatisfactory please PM me!

This thread is starting to look like it should be in the Disturbing Discussions board.

WHAT YOU CAN'T BE BOTH!!! Ehh.... This is getting a little bit confusing... Catholics ARE Christians, since that we believe that Jesus is our Savior and God, DUH... It's just logic and common sense...

He was just mocking those who are not intelligent enough to realize that believing in Christ makes you Christian.

I kind of expected there to be more Christians here. I'm not of any faith - if you go back in any direction in my family it becomes Irish Catholic, but then someone got excommunicated at some point in the 1960s and I don't think it's ever had quite the same shine in my family... I went to a protestant school until I was eleven and believed in God, but then switched to a non-religious grammar school where literally no-one was religious. I ended up with a cynical interest many religions but not a desire to subscribe to any.
Do you think that the fact that there are fewer Christians in many areas than in past decades (such as the UK, where various surveys - though all carried out by the Daily Mail, the same newspaper that thinks climate change isn't happening... - indicate that 43% of people in the UK now say they "have no religion") is a bad thing, or could contribute towards what some identify as "a broken society"? Is the fact that many people - although I wouldn't necessarily include myself under this bracket - are "indifferent" to religion a negative thing?

You should talk about those things in the "Disturbing Discussions" section.

Me!
"I believe in a god of scandalous grace. If I believed terrorists were beyond redemption, I would need to rip out half of my New Testament Scriptures, for they were written my a converted terrorist. I have pledged Allegiance to a King that loved evildoers so much He died for them (and of course the people of Iraq are no more evil or more holy than the people of the US) teaching us that there is something worth dying for but nothing worth killing for. While the terrorists were nailing Him to the cross, my Jesus pleaded that they be shown mercy for they knew [not] what they were doing. We are all wretched, and we are all beautiful. No one is beyond redemption and no one is beyond repute. May we see in the hands of the oppressors our own hands, and in the faces of the oppressed our own faces. We are made of the same dust, and we cry the same salty tears." --Shane Claiborne
...meow.

We, Catholics, believe in Jesus. We believe he is our savior. Therefore, we are Christians. Don't you ever say otherwise. Same goes for Mormons. So many people apparently think we're not Christian, so I just wanted to clarify that here.

It seems that everyone's sense in logic is dwindling...
