(No offense intended, although I'm sure some will be taken. This isn't meant to belittle your beliefs или the power of your prayers, it's meant to Показать why your prayers may offend people)

I am an Atheist. Most of Ты know that. Ты know that I wander around on the Христианство spot so that I can try and understand God and Christianity, even if I don't believe in it. Does my mere presence offend some people here? Does it offend anyone here that I don't like being prayed for?

Try to think about this reasonably. I'm assuming that Ты don't believe in Allah, the Muslim God. Imagine that Ты sat down to chat with a Muslim person, and he realised Ты believed in the Christian God. Suddenly he gets very quiet and says, "I'll pray to Allah for your soul,"

How does that make Ты feel? It makes ME feel as though the person offering a prayer has absolute disregard for my personal choices and beliefs. It's like he's offering something Ты don't want so that Ты can be saved from something Ты don't want to be saved from.

I understand that you're supposed to pray for those in need. I understand that it's part of how Christians help people, but Atheists aren't in need and we don't need help. Ты telling us that you'll pray for us is like me walking up to Ты and saying "I know Ты believe in God, but I'm going to go tell EVERYONE that God doesn't exist, on your behalf!"

"No! God exists! Ты can't go around telling people he doesn't exist, on MY behalf!"

"Hey, I don't believe in God, please don't go talking to the air about saving my soul, on my behalf. It's insulting."

I'm not a bad person, I try my best to be a good person, just like Ты do. I volunteer for charities, I go carolling at seniors' homes in winter, I work in суп kitchens, why do Ты think I need your prayers? Surely homeless people and people who are addicted to drugs deserve them more?

Please don't waste your prayers on a proud and happy person who just happens to be an Atheist.

I'll start by saying this was none of my work.

The Bible says God loves us and made us to know and enjoy Him. But our determination to ignore God and live our own way has cut us off from Him. It says this in Isaiah 59:2, “Your sin has cut Ты off from God”. No wonder we often feel like there is something missing in our lives! Every день we offend God with our actions, words and even thoughts. The Bible calls this sin. Examples can be lying, stealing, commiting adultery.

We've all done it, and God says that this is wrong and that it deserves punishment. Romans 6:23 says "The wages of sin is...

This isn't Christian theology, but interesting (kinda whacked too) take on Mormonism.

Faith versus works is a Дебаты that still continues. Can we work our way to heaven? Can we obtain salvation simply through faith regardless of how we live? This video investigates how the truth really adds up.

If this was the message in EVERY church, maybe there wouldn't be so many skeptics.

I was looking through this club and noticed one of the questions, the one about the "haters" and it made me start thinking, haters are just nonbelievrs! God sends us these "Haters" as an opertunity to Показать his grace and love! God sends these "Haters" so that they can see what it's like to be a believer. I know it can be rough and anoying to deal with them, but God сказал(-а) Любовь is pacent, and he want's us to greet them with open arms insted of them coming and seeing things that make them think we hate them, because we don't, atleast, I don't, a bunch of my Друзья are nonbelivers. all i'm saying is, if we say we can't stand them, what sense of God are they going to get. remember, God loves the haters, and as his children we should lead by his example, yes?
