the english lang is the lang of the present era, unlike the old english, which was the era of shakespear, which is nothing and share any semblance of the modern english.
since christianity is 2009 years old, I doubt if old english existed during the time of Jesus. it was mentioned that the english were from the descendants of the germanaic race that came to the isles.

Yes this is the best answer and something my late father would always laughed about and repeated cuz to him when a person dies its the end of the whole story but there are rare times when the dead do come back and report in their own ways.Just before he died he made a last joke he said that if he died he would come back and let us know that there is something out there so that we could all go on with our lives without thinking about him anymore.On the 3rd day he came back one last time and the whole family was there to witness it.....an unforgettable pleasant experience that lasted about 5 minutes.

The quake happened on Boxing Day, one day after Christmas Day but the casualties from the tsunami were mainly Buddhist dominated countries. Now that's perculiar, since you are a buddhist. Not cause and effect?
You come to EH to jab Christians. You think there's no effect on you?
really pathetic. no wonder so many people are being put off by you people. there were some 200,000 lost of lives that day and you use this as justification? something must be very seriously wrong in your thinking.

oh dont feed the troll
to add, Hurricane Katrina destroyed and killed many of the Christian parishes in New Orleans
god's punishment for religious extremism?
anyway not many people support these extremists for their destructive and hateful views
god-loving people indeed
Christians can be plain annoying- and they can also be super nice. It's just how some people use the wrong way to approach unbelievers. And the way christians speak and how they justify their points can be plain straightforward, and may hurt people's feelings. Christians justify their points by saying all other religions are false, while atheists use namecalling to defeat them. Oh well, this is fair play and a good game.

Yes I know and my dad was revived once when his heart stopped for a few minutes.Later I asked him and he said he there were no light at the end of the tunnel or angels to tell him to go back which is why it made him to a stronger believer that there is nothing after death but he did come back to give us a positive message 3 days after he really left us.

i dun agree
firstly its not straightforward, sorry to say, even using your posts as examples, i dont think they carry any truth and have been disputed many times..so using words like 'straightforward' are not justified for lies, deceits and misinformation
secondly, its not a fair play/good game...who was the first to cast the stone in the pool of water? naturally atheists, or for this matter non believers react to unwanted propagation and provocation from christians
i think this is sort of action-reaction sort of thing, hence blames to be shared equally by both parties is nnot justified

Originally posted by Rooney9:oh what about 9-11 in NY
to be fair, its human made, not 'act of god'
we shld be talking about things like histories of earthquakes that destroyed churches
from that, i could say, god is angry against christians

No ill intent. Let it be.

I know of one super nice approach to people and that is to leave them alone with their faith and religion and not try to convert people.You can let them know only if they are interested....I dont know if this scenario is similar to selling a life Insurance policy ar not>Hahaha.

You see Loony, you're are trying to bring Islam and terrorism in here, after bringing the earthquake and tsunami and got pwned.
The effect is Afghanistan and Iraq suffers to balance the equation.
Yes, if God exists, he is angry at every person of every religion, even christians, for everyone has sinned, no matter christian or jew.

You thought that this is karma befalling the Christians because it happened on a day that's easy to remember?
You are seriously wrong!

even tho they may believe in him
Yes, if God exists, he probably loves everyone in this world, but love is love, the sinners will still need to punish, and some with death, the death of the innocent are meant as a warning. In fact, no one is actually innocent, all of us are sinners.

then blame the maker then, if there is such a thing as creator.

thats the view of christians, not me or other non believers. reality is perception to the individual. if christians believes in sinners, I have no problem with that, but please do not bring your views on others who do not subscribe to that belief system.
Irony- you are the one who brings your view over others. This topic had nothing much to do with people from other religions and atheists, but you jumped in causing an argument with believers. We are believers, not unbelievers, so please don't bring your outside views into here. This is the view of christians, not atheists, please don't promote your propaganda here.

sounds to me thats human behaviour. being angry, being petty and being stupid and so forth are not synonomous with any religions but human thinking and behaviours. humans get entangled with these belief systems, thats why religious animosity and extremism lives in the head of these extreme believers, who are hell bent on converting the world into their belief system, either rightly or wrongly.
