| Comments: | Me again, I was reading and
earlier post about evolution, and wanted to comment on it. This person
said if we all evolved, why arent we still evolving? That has got to be
the worst argument Ive ever heard. We are STILL evolving, evolution takes
thousands of years and hundreds of generations to change the smallest
detail. And like you said, Monkeys and humans came from the same common
ancestor, and where in the bible does it ever mention dinosaurs? or about
their extinction? And of the atom? elements? I cant recall any type of
legitimate scientific discoveries being made when christianity was forced
onto people, it was only when people had the freedom to think without
taking into account that you could go to hell if you do this or that.
People could develop new ideas that the church would find blasphemous.
Your site has really taught me a few new things too. For everyone who
would argue against this site, you should read all of it and whatever you
say will hurt itself, im positive. Great job man, keep it up. October 7, 2003 18:31:10 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | Hey, Wow, Where do I start.
Being a former christian-turned atheist myself, I can totally relate to
what your saying. I have to say I agree with every aspect of this site. I
think the most prominent fault in the bible is Noah's Ark, where the
omnibenevolent god drowned off the earth and all its men and women to
cleanse it. If thats correct. I havent researched the bible as extensively
as you have obviously, thanks for showing this to people so they could
stop wasting their time and money. October 7, 2003 18:19:52 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | Your page is very well done. I
like how you presented the irrefutable issues that have caused even me to
realize that the Bible cannot be divine. Although many of your arguments
don't hold water, the most part seem perfectly suited to this kind of
page. you may go a bit far equating not believing in God with believing there's no God. atheism is just a new religion, a new God that controls you itself in its own way. keep up the good work. and about pain and suffering, you might benefit from a little philosophy. check out Krishnamurti, you'll be glad you did. peace September 11, 2003 16:50:23 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | Wow- this is really sad. I
wonder what would happen if God really let us use more than 8% of our
brain to comprehend his greatness, and actually understand why he made us.
The problem with people today is that they have to question everything-
and faith isnt even taken into account. We cant even begin to know God's
mind!!!!! I'm really sorry you are so set against something- looks like
you never did believe in the first place, because anyone that has their
life changed by Jesus Christ and has a relationship with him could never
doubt. I hope this becomes your revelation someday. Don't you realize
every single part of life has critics?? And every part of history?? Try
picking something apart like our constitution and laws... see where that
gets you. September 11, 2003 16:28:09 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | The answer is simple. You
never were a christian. For your benefit, I present to you the parable of
the sower. If you will read it, it will explain to you exactly what
happened. I will pray that the Lord set the hounds of hell on your trail,
to drive you in to the everlasting arms. Luk 8:5 `The sower went forth to sow his seed, and in his sowing some indeed fell beside the way, and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the heaven did devour it. `And other fell upon the rock, and having sprung up, it did wither, through not having moisture. `And other fell amidst the thorns, and the thorns having sprung up with it, did choke it. `And other fell upon the good ground, and having sprung up, it made fruit an hundred fold.' These things saying, he was calling, `He having ears to hear--let him hear.' And his disciples were questioning him, saying, `What may this simile be?' And he said, `To you it hath been given to know the secrets of the reign of God, and to the rest in similes; that seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand. 'And this is the simile: The seed is the word of God, and those beside the way are those hearing, then cometh the Devil, and taketh up the word from their heart, lest having believed, they may be saved. `And those upon the rock: They who, when they may hear, with joy do receive the word, and these have no root, who for a time believe, and in time of temptation fall away. `And that which fell to the thorns: These are they who have heard, and going forth, through anxieties, and riches, and pleasures of life, are choked, and bear not to completion. `And that in the good ground: These are they, who in an upright and good heart, having heard the word, do retain it , and bear fruit in continuance. If you can't find your self it may be because it has not been given to you. September 9, 2003 22:53:30 (GMT Time) |

| Comments: | Just had to reply to someone
here who said he didn't know a certain quote. It's from Socrates, and it's
my favorite quote! "I am the wisest man alive for I know one thing, and that is that I know nothing." Good site. Again, the Christians are cussing and acting immature on this guestbook while at the same time they don't question their own obviously false religion. They are brainwashed.

| Comments: | Hi...read through your
site...was quite interesting. I was born in Hindu family-I have grown up trying all different concepts about who God is. So I can understand where u are. I don't know what experiences you had as a christian...but there is a God..and the Bible is His word. As an athiest u probably believe the theory of evolution. Tell me, if I showed u a trendy watch(maybe u're wearing one)-and tell u that it was formed by itself-that there was some metal and some other stuff lying in some soil and over a period of time-it came together and formed that watch..would u believe me? of course u wouldn't...if u can't believe a small watch can come to existance by itself...how can u believe that the people we are-with the kind od bodies we have-the symmetry, the details-with our feelings and conscience-could come by ourselves. You have a mind-thoughts-feelings-you are a spirit being-and thatz how the bible says God made us. If evolution is true-why did it stop...how come the monkeys are still not evolving into men. It's easy to say- Jesus is not the only way-let everyone believe what they want to, to each his own. If each person can just make their own ideas- what would you say to a person who believes in child-sacrifice. Gruesome as it is- to that person his own way seems right. We can't make up our own ideas and create or limit God. Thatz the easiest way out-create your own ideas-maybe there is no God. I honestly admire the fact that you haven't blindly followed anything,that you have searched evaluated and prayed- thatz great. Coz I did that too..all my life- can't tell u the amount of books that I have read- and I can say that I have never believed anything just coz some one else does-and I don't expect or want u to believe in Christ just coz I do. Noone else could ever have convinced me Jesus is the only way-the son of God- the one who is the way, the truth , eternal life...He Himself did. And now, that He has...nothing can change that. Thatz how I am. I'm glad you have questions.. don't give them up...keep searching. I have no doubt where you search will end- in the God who is waiting for you to find Him again. And this time- to know Him truly. I know there are many christians who don't walk their talk, who fight and persecute. Yes they are wrong when they do that- I'm still noone to judge...and that won't affect me-coz my my faith is not in them- but in the God who I know. There are very very few christians(in the true sense) today- almost all the world believes something else. I have never thought a majority necessarily meant it was right. I just want to tell u something u have probably heard hundreds of times...and now-you probably find it foolish. That there is a God who created you- not as an accident-but planned to make u exactly the person you are, and even when u don't believe, even when you rebel and laugh at Him... He is still looks at you with love. Love that held nothing back- that died on the cross. He has already come forward..it's up to you now. Don't accept it now if you don't want to. Just con't stop looking...or walking on your journey..do it with sincerity...the road will lead you to a cross. Forget all the hypocrisy that people can do...forget their pricks...who cares..when you are cared for more than the whole world. He is not looking at them...He's looking at you. Decide. Just sit alone..once...leaving aside everything u have ever heard from anyone about God ...forget anyone else exists-sit alone in silence-listen to the sound of your own heartbeat-think about who you are-all you are-and honestly, really honestly look within...do you really believe there is no God? I believe your heart won't lie. September 4, 2003 3:26:02 (GMT time) |

| Comments: | Hi. I am a born-again
Christian. I went through your site- you have presented quite a lot of
matter to point out how wrong and false Jesus is and christianity is. Goes
to show that you are a seeker- seeking whatz really true. I was so too-
and I found the truth. And trust me- I am not gonna try and convince you
that Jesus is Lord...but if u seek with all your heart- you will find the
truth....that is Him. You can write volumes and volumes-dissecting the Bible and finding what seem like contradictions and mistakes-you can make a hundred websites to show it's all a fraud...you can have a thousand points. I have only one point- I believe in Jesus above all- because I have known Him- heard Him speak through His word- He is alive and He is real. I was born in Hindu family-I have grown up trying all different concepts about who God is. So I can understand where u are. I don't know what experiences you had as a christian...but there is a God..and the Bible is His word. As an athiest u probably believe the theory of evolution.

| Comments: | Your arguments do not prove
anything. Sure, there are some things we don't understand, but so what? You
don't agree with the order in which God made the universe, so you conclude
that God doesn't exist. If you used to be a Christian, then you should Know
as well as anyone that God can do anything He wants. And as far as Him
saying "Let us make man in our image...", it doesn't take a whole lot of
thought to figure out that there is only one God, but He is Father, Son, and
Holy Spirit. Then you try to prove that Jesus was, or rather, is a hypocrite
and that the Bible has contradictions. But, you quoted out of context or
overlooked important words in you reasoning, and I think you know it. While
some of the arguments you have put forth don't have an easy explanation,
that doesn't mean they are unexplainable. However some of your arguments are
very easy to explain. Like the one about calling Jesus a hypocrite because
He was angry. He said it is a sin to be angry without a cause. Using this to
call Jesus a hypocrite shows that you are desperate, as far as I'm
concerned. By the way calling Christ a hypocrite is blasphemy. July 15, 2003 2:48:14 (GMT Time) |
