So what I dont believe in God?

[hangover]

Any one that condemns anybody to hell, condemns themselves.

I'm not condemning anyone - I'm just saying what a Christian is according to the Bible (not the Baptists) I have been a member of various denominations - I am not a promoter of any one in particular but believe they should teach what is Biblical.

What is biblical is subject to interpretation. That's why Christianity has splintered into so many different sects/subdivisions, many of those sects being hostile to one another. If there was consensus as to what was "biblical", there wouldn't be such divisions.

The Jews, Christians and Muslims all worship the God of Abraham. They all kill each other in the name of the God of Abraham.

This proves you don't have a clue, let alone understand it.

Geneticist claims to have found God gene in humans - Washington Times

FYI BONZI is the cry of the Kamikaze Japanese suicide bombers.

The key word in your little article there is "CLAIMS"...

Obviously you didn't even bother to click on it and read the link, which proves you have no desire to learn the truth. It's just easier for you to follow your church dogma, like a sheeple.

alright I clicked on it and read it - even if this is true or correct, it may just point to how some people believe in any kind of God. My belief is there is one God, one Way, and that has been revealed by God (not a gene).

Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia:

Although it is always difficult to determine the many interacting functions of a gene, VMAT2 appears to be involved in the transport of monoamine neurotransmitters across the synapses of the brain. PZ Myers argues: "It's a pump. A teeny-tiny pump responsible for packaging a neurotransmitter for export during brain activity. Yes, it's important, and it may even be active and necessary during higher order processing, like religious thought. But one thing it isn't is a 'god gene.'"[2]
Carl Zimmer claimed that VMAT2 can be characterized as a gene that accounts for less than one percent of the variance of self-transcendence scores. These, Zimmer says, can signify anything from belonging to the Green Party to believing in ESP. Zimmer also points out that the God Gene theory is based on only one unpublished, unreplicated study.[3] However Hamer notes that the importance of the VMAT2 finding is not that it explains all spiritual or religious feelings, but rather that it points the way toward one neurobiological pathway that may be important

FYI, the Catholics say their way is the one way. The Baptists say their way is the one way. The Muslims say their way is the one way. And the Jews say their way is the one way. And they all say it's THEIR god that revealed it.
The bible that you base your "beliefs" on was put together by priests of Constantine at Nicaea, with the intention of giving the church ultimate power over the masses. It had nothing to do with god. They left out more scripture than was put in the bible. The Catholic church ruled the world for 1,500 years, killing everyone the didn't capitulate to the church. Hundreds of thousands were burned at the stake and beheaded for not being a follower of the church. Do you really believe THAT is what God is all about?

Obviously not. Have you not heard of a little thing called the Reformation?

Isn't that where the Catholics said, "Oh sorry for burning people at the stake, and beheading others" during the inquisitions that lasted over a thousand years? Now if we can get ISIS Muslims and evangelicals and Jews to quit killing each other, then we can have some REAL reformation.

Yes. I dont shoot people because they drew a picture of god.

Not shooting people over God is the ideal behavior, the best behavior that may be attained?

Well, I'm pretty sure it's the behavior that other people are going to insist on.

Not sure why people view killing as so terrible. God commanded it a lot in the Bible. Obviously, if he calls for it, it's not a sin.

It's when we decide to take lives of our own decision that it's a sin.

True. You have to have discernment (or pray for it) as a Christian. There are likely more false teachers out there than genuine Christian teachers.

Natalie where we ate we were small rodents before we were apes and before that we were fish you do realize we're even related to trees and plants correct?

Reality is....Shrub and the cons that followed him in the invasion of Iraq are evangelicals out to evangelize the Muslim world. They killed a million Muslims since 2003.

It's when we decide to take lives of our own decision that it's a sin.

"A house divided against itself can not stand." God can't say, "thou shall not kill" and then tell the Jews to go kill the Hittites and take their land. "Thou shall not steal" applies too.
God doesn't command anyone to do evil. The fact that you condone killing proves that you follow false teachings. Good can't be bad, and bad can't be good .Positive and negative are not interchangeable. Using God as an excuse to kill, is a work of iniquity. Again you defy your own bible. Matthew 7:21-22

what do you think about Native American Indians? I would say we stole their land and murdered them in their own country. and Christians say America was founded by Christians don't forget that

The Jews think that they are the chosen race, and whatever their actions are, it's all good. Here's a clue....being wrong brings the consequences of karma. "You shall reap what you sow."

America is a stolen land. The karma is the Civil war, WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the middle east mess, and much more to come, because this country refuses to learn the lessons of murder and greed.

in evolution wolves roamed wild and free. then they started eating our trash and they became dogs. So when the Jewish people Christian people and Muslim people continue to act the way they do what we have today is what that behavior produces. a s***** world. religion needs to go away
