why does Jesus make you and others so angry?
I will bet $10 that if instead, it were a short para on Hinduism or Buddhism (and I dare say, even Islam), no one would have been so hostile.
- yaacovtp 20y agoNo one here is offended by your religious beliefs. They just don't have a place on a commercial website, unless you are providing a service only for a group of like minded people and then done right your comments may even be welcome.
- juwo 20y ago"They just don't have a place on a commercial website" why not?
- yaacovtp 20y agoBecause they turn many people away. You asked for our feedback and several people made a big deal about it. Listen to us, trust us, your project needs all the help it can get. Don't make more reasons to turn people away.
- juwo 20y agoHere is why I put that controversial paragraph: "Whoever acknowledges me before men, I will also acknowledge him before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns [is ashamed of] me before men, I will disown him before my Father in heaven."

- rms 20y agoAs an intellectual person, I find blind faith in Christianity outright offensive. It doesn't make any sense to base your world view on the mythology of a Bronze Age people. Honestly, I'm glad that you have the right to spread the good word on your website. But it's so rare I get to interact with a real, live Christian that I delight in the opportunity. Maybe we can both gain something. So let's talk. Why do you believe in the god of the Christians to the exclusion of all the others?
- juwo 20y agowhy do you believe that 2+2=4 and not 2+2=5 ?
- rms 20y agoBecause I count two things, and two more things and see that there are four objects. I can observe with my own eyes that mathematics works. You can't ever see God, you have to take on faith that a book written almost 2000 years ago is absolute fact. So why do you believe in the god of the Christians to the exclusion of all the other gods?
- juwo 20y agoYou obviously pride yourself on being an intellectual, yet you havent even scratched the surface. Think deeper. The answer lies in the answer to my question.
- rms 20y agoFine. Mathematics is generally based on so-called "non-logical axioms" -- non proven statements that we accept based on what a person such as yourself would call faith. Still, I believe in mathematics because it works. Why do you believe in the god of the Christians to the exclusion of all others?
- juwo 20y agoYou're getting the point - that we trust Mathematics even though it involves faith, because there is plenty of correlation to the 'real' world. Similarly, Jesus is a real person, not an emotional crutch. An absolute truth, not a relative choice. Like 2+2=4 and not 2+2=5. How do I prove it? Simple. Ask Jesus himself to show that he is real, to you. However when you ask, you cannot have an attitude - otherwise he will ignore you. "you will seek me and find me when you seek me with all of your heart" [God] (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2029%20:%2013;&version=31) http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2029%20:%2013;&version=31) He himself, will checkmate you.
