Ha!  Trump is a liberal NY real estate developer.  He is the most pro-gay President EVER.

Only the progressive left Marxists label anyone to the right of themselves a Nazi.  What this does is dilute how bad real Nazis were and are.     

Please don't twist the facts. Trump didn't endorsed the Nazis. That's a complete lie. He blamed both the neo-Nazis and the Antifa for the violence. And he condemned the murder of Heather Heyer in the strongest language possible.

What about the numerous vacations that Obama took while he was the president? Even when the Benghazi attacks were happening, Obama was busy playing golf at his private residence in Hawaii.

I have an idea you may be referencing Genesis 22 where God commands Abraham to sacrifice his son of promise, Isaac? If you are implicitly referring to this story, then it's not as straightforward as it seems, namely a deranged old psycho trying to murder his son, if taken form the standpoint of the complete context (whole story) of which this particular chapter forms only a small part, and also taken within the larger religio-cultural context and time frame the story is told, which is ancient to say the least. First off, the boy's mother conceived the child at a miraculous age of 91. Second, a covenant was made wholly by El Shaddai (17:2 I will make a covenant between us..) which is also quite unusual according to the customs of ancient middle east. The nuanced details that color the the background to the developing plot of sacrifice of the boy-of-covenant-promise in chapter 22 is actually heart wrenchingly beautiful once you understand the whole context of the ancient tale, since it underscores quite dramatically what complete trust is all about. The story's main focus is not about (and never was intended to be about) killing of a son, but about whether Abraham completely trusted God. It is reasoned by some religious people that the story implicates the faith that Abraham must have had in God's ability to resurrect Isaac from the dead.

PS: the problem with religious texts is that they are often taken literally as part of divine doctrinal mandate and then all sorts of bad things start to happen when believers apply those mandates as set forth in their holy books. I do not support the text as having any "divine inspiration" to be obeyed to the letter. It is, at best, an intriguing tale of an imaginary powerful deity and his relationship with one of his most faithful followers.

oh my!

The same goes for Santa Claus....

You want to be good to get the free presents, right?

I agree with every words you say, but why tackle Christianity only?
...

I don't know how we can differentiate what is good and bad without a God, because we will not have a basis. If we will depend on our own views of what is good and evil, then goodness will vary from one person to another which is ofcourse biased by personal beliefs and cultural background. If we try to broaden our undersranding to other beliefs, then everything will be called "good" in the end, which may not make sense.

We seriously are having this thread?

Let people believe what they want to believe!

If you have faith on God (Christian, Hindu, Muslim, Sikh, etc), so be it.

If you are an atheist, so be it.

Let people do whatever they want which makes them happy without hurting anyone.

Repeant and surrender yourself to Jesus Christ because He is comming...

Well, that note does look bad. English is not my first language so I can probably get a pass but I suppose this happened in America. The funny thing about this situation is that being LGBT doesn't automatically mean you're an atheist. Plenty of gay people out there who are still religious and still go to church.

For clarification they are not born like that. It's their choice to be an LGBT member. They should have known the consequences when they enter that kind of world, so, they couldn't blame anyone who doesn't fully accept them as a member of society.

Is that two (or more?) thoughts and 1 prayer (counting as >1) or 2 (or >2?) prayers and one thought (counting as more than one)?

I am sure that the vast majority of this amount was spent on defending the pedophile clerics. A few months back, there was a news story from Mexico. A Catholic priest had raped some 30 orphaned indigenous girls in the state of Oaxaca. Unfortunately, the priest himself was HIV positive, and he probably passed on the disease to many of his victims. The last time I heard, the Catholic church was spending huge amounts for the legal defense and medical treatment of the priest. But there was no mention about the victims anywhere.

While it is true that there is no definitive atheistic worldview, all atheists share the same fundamental beliefs as core to their personal worldviews. While some want to state that atheism is simply a disbelief in the existence of a god, there really is more to it. Every expression of atheism necessitates at least three additional affirmations:

1. The universe is purely material. It is strictly natural, and there is no such thing as the supernatural (e.g., gods or spiritual forces).

2. The universe is scientific. It is observable, knowable and governed strictly by the laws of physics.

3. The universe is impersonal. It does not a have consciousness or a will, nor is it guided by a consciousness or a will.

Denial of any one of those three affirmations will strike a mortal blow to atheism. Anything and everything that happens in such a universe is meaningless. A tree falls. A young girl is rescued from sexual slavery. A dog barks. A man is killed for not espousing the national religion. These are all actions that can be known and explained but never given any meaning or value.

A good atheist — that is, a consistent atheist — recognizes this dilemma. His only reasonable conclusion is to reject objective meaning and morality. Thus, calling him “good” in the moral sense is nonsensical. There is no morally good atheist, because there really is no objective morality. At best, morality is the mass delusion shared by humanity, protecting us from the cold sting of despair.
