     You eventually find out about her infidelity and that it had been going on for quite sometime. How would you react to this? I know for some people it ends up with murder or bitter divorce proceedings or someone getting physically hurt real bad just total misery for all parties.

    Nobody is happy anymore, there is nothing but misery, from adultery it escalates to murder, bodily harm, or divorce.

    Now supposing you and your wife are very faithful to each other because both of you truly love each other. Both of you will never be miserable in respect to your matrimonial vows, both of you will always be happy with one another. You both instinctly have obeyed God's commandment of "Thou shalt not commit adultery"

    So this is just one example of how misery can enter one's life by disobeying and breaking one of God's Ten Commandments or how happiness and tranquility can enter ones's life by obeying and following one of God's Ten Commandments.

    So these commandments should be really viewed as being good for the people's own sake, knowing that obeying and following the commandments brings happiness and tranquility while disobeying and breaking the commandments brings misery and despair. 



    YOUR another brainwashed idiot..........there was actually over 400 original commandments all that were man made and organized religion edits everything to suit its propaganda.  And if you believe God knocked up Mary who was the wife of Joseph than God committed adultery.   

    FOOLS!!! Do what you believe is right not because of promised reward or punishment, the rest will take care of itself.....organized religion is what every story of Jesus is against.  Lets face it a "step son" of a carpenter could have easily built a church or had Joseph build one and had people come to him and put money in a basket or box. and Jesus was not the only one of his time performing "miracles" he actually had rivals who were in the same racket.

    Breaking the commandments means so much to the top 1% of the USA.....LMFAO  and they all act like believers.  Greed brings misery and despair and yet not one of those 10 commandments  says thou shalt not be greedy.

    organized religion..........destroying true history for thousands of years and brainwashing generations of village idiots along the way.

    and if someone is cheating on their spouse they were already miserable and unhappy before the act of "adultery", its not the act that creates unhappiness it is unhappiness that enables the act.  

    And those that have an open marriage how does that work??? You are a fool with everything you say!!!! you must be a tea party member

    YOUR another brainwashed idiot...who me?...don't you mean YOU'RE another brainwashed idiot?...lol If I'm the idiot, then what are you whose grammar is far from being any kind of scholar?...lol I have noted a few grammatical errors on your part. Just a little humor here, don't mind me...lol

    Maybe it's you that's really brainwashed into believing what you believe. Have you ever really pondered that possibility? I wouldn't call you an idiot though but perhaps misguided.

    Whose is talking about man made commandments? Man made commandments are in essence laws of society. I'm talking about the Ten Commandments that God gave to Moses on Mount Sinai and God did not commit adultery.

    One should read the bible first before making blasphemous statements. Below is the passage in the bible about "The Birth of Jesus the Messiah"

    This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit. Joseph, her fiance, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. As he considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. "Joseph, son of David," the angel said, "do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord's message through his prophet: "Look, The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means God is with us." When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus. ---Matthew 1:18-24

And she will have a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins." All of this occurred to fulfill the Lord's message through his prophet: "Look, The virgin will conceive a child! She will give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel, which means God is with us." When Joseph woke up, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded and took Mary as his wife. But he did not have sexual relations with her until her son was born. And Joseph named him Jesus. ---Matthew 1:18-24

    So if a person believes that killing someone else because of their deep hatred of that other person due to numerous personal reasons is right to them, then that person should just kill that other person?

    In essence that is what you're saying which is wrong. It should be do what you know is right and how do you know if something is right, well easy, make sure you are not breaking any of the Ten Commandments and other laws that God has given us and of course make sure you are not breaking any man made laws of your society.

    That's why it's important to read the Holy Bible to know all of the commandments and laws from God and to know your man made laws of your society.

    So don't be doing things that you believe are right but rather do things that you know are right.

    Jesus is certainly not against today's organized Christian religion. Where do you get such non-sense?

    People don't need to be unhappy to commit adultery. When did I say the act itself brings unhappiness? It's not the act but rather the finding out about the act from the person's spouse that brings about misery and unhappiness. I've mentioned that it could escalate into murder, bodily harm or divorce.

    If you are miserable and unhappy in your marriage there are several things you could do and of of those things is not to commit adultery because if you're already miserable and unhappy then you're going to add to your misery and unhappiness if and when your spouse finds out about your infidelity.

    No, the cure for your misery and unhappiness in your marriage is not to commit adultery, the act itself will only fulfill your lustful desires but it will not get rid of your misery and unhappiness.

    That's why adultery is a sin, it is not good and it should be avoided, no matter what emotional state you're in, whether you're an overall happy person, or an overall  miserable and unhappy person....period!

    Did they also resurrect themselves on the 3rd day after their deaths? To my knowledge Jesus was the only one who did that in the history of mankind.

If you say yes, then there is enough evidence, proof, and historical facts (Not that you necessarily need them to be a Christian) to back what the Bible says... but if you don't want there to be a God, is there truly anything anybody can say, even if God was to send His only Son to earth to save mankind, to get you to change your mind? I doubt it... 

    Hope everybody had a good Thanksgiving

    What do you mean by organized religion destroying true history for thousands of years? Are you suggesting that mankind's past history would have been better off without religion? Now how can you validate and prove such an argument?

    This argument by atheists would be easy for theists to repond with evidence to show that it is invalid. However though, it seems that a lot of atheists like yourself, kk, system, quantum, and numerous others--blinded by the fact this flawed argument supports a desired conclusion--refuse to see reason.

    Evil in this world is here to stay with or without religion. The very nature of mankind, jealousy, hatred, greed, lustfullness, etc. does not disappear with the absence of religion.

    The Christian faith itself does not preach violence or hatred. It has given us the Ten Commandments and other laws that if everyone followed and obeyed them, what a pleasant and wonderful life all of us would have but of course it's unrealistic to think everyone would but nevertheless for those who do, their lives would be so much better off. People who committ evils in the name of religion are hypocrites as far as the Christian religion is concerned.

    We already know that the absence of religion evil still exists. Social Darwinism, atheistic communism, Hitler's nazi regime, Pol Pot's Cambodia--these all demonstrate that, even in the absence of religion, humans are just as capable of inventing non-religious justifications for committing evils and carrying them to ends that are just as or even more bloody and harmful.

    So, with all that said, I'm keeping my faith in the Christian religion...Amen!

    because one does not believe a hypocrite in a building asking for money that does not make them  an atheist.

    Only a church can be against the teachings of Christ and get away with it.

    They molest young boys world wide and still people go to church.
    You can be an evil prick but if you go to a building you can get your slate wiped clean by asking for forgiveness.

    They edit books of the bible.  And for centuries churches were the ones who could read and write the average citizens could not!!! 

    They do alter and dispute  findings within science and history to make the stories more believable.

    No religion would be better, than people could just be decent without persecuting in the name of an imaginary belief

    People are killed every day in the name of religion.

    there is a parable of Jesus and how he was against the pharisees
    because they wore uniforms and hats to mark their rankings.  Jesus believed you do not wear your merits on your sleeve so why does the pope and the cardinals and priest follow the way of the pharisee. 

    You have already showed your ignorance by calling me an atheist.  I just don't believe in the business of religion.

    If Falwell says he talked to God then people like you believe, but if a man holding up a sign needing food says he talked to God then he is crazy.

    You can take your version of Christianity and shove it up your ass because your heaven would be my hell

    and you know the Book of the Dead when translated to Hebrew has the same story of Jesus word for word with the same names.  and yes he is crucified in the book of the dead as well.  and Mary was no virgin Jesus had brothers, James was one of them.  There was even other people doing the same things as Jesus at his time they were his "rivals" and even raised people from the dead

    Leonardo's Last Supper has Mary Magdalene sitting next to him and yet the church acts like its a man next to him.

    Only a fool would say a woman who has kids is a virgin.  regardless of who or what knocked her up it surely wasnt Joesph when it came to Jesus.

    It is more believable that a single mother of several kids would want to marry a man with a business who could support them.

    There is just too much to list and it is not my job to educate you properly.  Your looking at grammar when its content that matters.  Typical fake Christian

    and you know the Book of the Dead when translated to Hebrew has the same story of Jesus word for word with the same names.  and yes he is crucified in the book of the dead as well.  and Mary was no virgin Jesus had brothers, James was one of them.  There was even other people doing the same things as Jesus at his time they were his "rivals" and even raised people from the dead

    Leonardo's Last Supper has Mary Magdalene sitting next to him and yet the church acts like its a man next to him.

    Only a fool would say a woman who has kids is a virgin.  regardless of who or what knocked her up it surely wasnt Joesph when it came to Jesus.

    It is more believable that a single mother of several kids would want to marry a man with a business who could support them.

    There is just too much to list and it is not my job to educate you properly.  Your looking at grammar when its content that matters.  Typical fake Christian

    maybe you need to look at the history, the real history of Moses and the commandments.

    You probably believe the plagues happened over the course of a week when it has been proven they in fact happened over years and all can be scientifically explained.

    I bet you think the story of Troy happened in a matter of weeks as well, that war was over a decade long............LMFAO  you are the misguided fool 

    no wonder you focus on some typing errors

    one can be greedy and have greed without stealing.  and having a servant  that's real Christian You can covet all you want if your neighbor doesn't pay the property tax though huh, because then your just benefiting from their loss its not your fault no one helped them

    and the person on the street starving who steals food that's a sin to you, so by that rational that person should just drop dead

    Unfortunately, booyahz123, the church has messed up in the past. Not "the church" as a whole, but severalllllll individual congregations, as well as denominations... for instance, the Lutheran Denomination has passed this "law" I guess you could say; and it says that the Lutheran Denomination can now install pastors that are homosexuals. Being a Lutheran, and my dad as a pastor, we left the Lutheran church, and are now in the 2nd year of the current church we attend now, along with a few other people that share the same belief. Just because a church/denomination/"Christians"/etc. do something, does not make it right... The basis of what is right and wrong comes from the Bible... take a look at my thread (i know theres a tonnnn of information), and see if any of that clears stuff up... there are a lot of wrong things that "Christians" do, as well as non-Christians. But just because a Christian does or does not do something, does not make it right or wrong. If you read my thread, and have any questions/comments, please say it, because I would like to try and clear anything up
