hey man
 
I just want to say first that I come from a christian family
two things frist I have the advantage of getting both sides of the story and not just from friends and statistics.
the second is that you say that for 2,000 years God has been a no show
well duh we're still here, but what I don't get is where you got the idea that God said that it would be to our conviniece, people say that God is coming anytime personally that has been said every year for the 2,000, so I'm not convinced that it will be anytime soon
 
also you say that believers of past generations believed in God because they thought he was coming back that instant, I don't think soand I don't think that they died disapointed either. because well according to the bible they are in heaven
 
the part about why God didn't just create another son, well first it takes the sentimental value out of the story and second Jesus was going to rise three days later both of them knew this and so should you, why would God need a new son when his was coming back. also you say that Christians should have to pay taxes for thier church property
I couldn't agree more, but quit bitchin about it your not goin to change the world. second you said that christians throw away their money again quit bitching it's not your money.
 
 
and you also said about raping and other such things in the church. I don't know what world your living in but that happens everywhere, and no one said christians were perfect and if any did then they're wrong and they have sinned because they lied.
 
I know your probably thinking stuff up in your mind to answer to this well hold your shorts you'll get the chance, but first you talk about christians as though they don't deserve to live and that they hate non christians. well I know that some christians do hate non christians and well thats not right cause again they have sinned cause the bible says to love every body. but it's fine for christians to try and "convert" non christians and they should be able to do it without being harrassed. but they should also learn that if someone doesn't want to believe that they should leave them alone cause everyone is allowed there own opinion, if they don't believe then they don't believe.
 
now unlike you I keep a open mind
you can't say that you keep one because you have chosen a side, I haven't I don't want you to write to me telling me a bunch of statistics on how God doesn't exist cause you can't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, but that goes to say that chritians can't say beyond a shadow of a doubt that God does exist. that is why I haven't decided weather I believe or not. and I don't plan to
 
I think you should quit complaining about the world and it's problems. you said that when christianity falls all other religions will follow
I was just wondering why you are so quick to get rid of your religion
 
no Christianity=no atheism
 
you can't fight whats no there. so if you want to be able to believe that there is no religion, let there be a religion to be against
