Question to those who do or do not doubt Christianity

The word your looking for is Prophet...

Don't you have to believe in the supernatural or a God to believe prophets exist?
To be beneficial to other people does not require the belief in a God.

Have you considered studying moral philosophy? I know of a very smart professor who studies and teaches ethics and I am sure he would be more than willing to help you out.
Most people that I know could not care less about studying ethics so I do understand if you do not have an interest. The article below is some resent material that he shared with me.

@reasoning logic,

How did Fuller get the right to regale us all with his simplistic bullshit in the Huff Post?

What's his job? How does he dress? Does he live in a well-to-do district. Does he use the same toilet as the cleaners in the Huff offices? Has he got a cap and gown?

I bet he's a walking talking ranker. It seems as if he's never considered women putting men down.

@FOUND SOUL,

I'm not for making comparisons between the two FS. They are both valuable in their own way for giving us an inkling of the world from which Christianity sought, and seeks, to free us.

There are others of course.

I thought that this was the most relevant to the thread--

Quote:

There is not much trace of Thucydides' influence in Niccolò Machiavelli's The Prince (1513), which held that the chief aim of a new prince must be to "maintain his state" [i.e., his power] and that in so doing he is often compelled to act against faith, humanity and religion.

Our coy atheists are fond of putting to one side such compulsions as they wallow and flounce in the benefits they provided so that they can better present themselves as caring and compassionate persons of refined virtue.

I am curious mostly to Atheists as to if Jesus did come in the second comming and said to you. I am Jesus, what will I have to do to prove to you I am the savior and God in the flesh....

What would you ask Jesus to do for you to prove he is the savior??

This is a silly question, first of all, their is no evidence that he's coming back at all (or even existed in the manner described in the bible), and even if he were coming back shouldn't he already know what to do? Jesus was just a demi-god of sorts so he wouldn't have the ability to go around to every single person and prove himself to each one. This question is nonsensical, if you changed Jesus to God, then that's a better question. It's still nonsensical however, because since the Christian god supposedly already knows everything, their should be no point in answering the question for him/her/it...since he/she/it should already know the answer.

Predict the score in tonight's big match. Something easy to start with.

I think City might win, but not by much. How about 3-2? What say you?

2--0 City. A pal of mine has £550--£200 on City for the Title and when they were looking out of it he promised to pay for all the beer for my clique for the night if they win it. He drinks Smith's too. He can't be doing with this German lager malarky.

He's loaded and owns two listed buildings which has caused him to go prematurely grey.

Did you know that there are listed trees.

They're off.

@spendius,

Half way there. I hate these games where they have a lot of scoring. The trouble with them is is that when a player gets a decent chance to score he scores but in football it's still a bit of a miracle.

How can anybody begrudge them their wages when you see what bankers get.

I bet the Southampton players are looking forward to playing in that stadium. They often give the promoted sides a chuck in the deep end to start off with.

There is talk about next season's fixtures, people hope the first one isn't an anticlimax like Reading away.

1-0, can't get much lower scoring than that. I'm glad, it's always better when it goes down to the wire.

It's the most beautiful game in the world. Tonights game is just a local derby, nothing was decided tonight, no cups won, no titles awarded, but in terms of popularity it puts your Superbowl in the shade.

The epic English Premier League showdown between intracity rivals Manchester United and Manchester City on Monday at Etihad Stadium is poised to become the most-viewed regular season sports event in history.

The EPL released figures this weekend claiming more than 650 million viewers in over 190 countries are expected to tune in for a clash that is almost certain to decide the league championship.

The intense interest has been sparked not only by the significance of the game, but also by several intricate and fascinating subplots.

2012's Super Bowl XLVI holds the record for total number of U.S. viewers, attracting an average U.S. audience of over 111 million and an estimated total audience of nearly 167 million, making the game the most-viewed television broadcast of any kind in American history.

A midweek derby played in rainy Manchester is four times more popular that the Superbowl. Four times more exciting.

50 times. Nay--more. And gentlemanly too compared to the the New Orleans Saints debacle.

@spendius,

Christians should be aware that tomorrow is the main feast day of atheists and fellow travellers. They should respect this sacred event and not say anything about atheists which might be taken exception to during the duration of the festivities.

And egalitarian, all you need is a ball, no expensive kit. What else is a young lad in Africa going to want to play?

I always view tomorrow as a Socialist Holiday, except we're having that next Monday.

@izzythepush,

when I drank I too would take great pleasure in watching such things as laundromat dryers in motion . Popularity isnt a measure of anything except mass marketing to the willingly obtuse. If that were the metric then NASCAR would be our answer to your game.

Watch it, I GAF its still a toss up for boringest in and among watching grass grow, professional bowling, or reading contracts.
