As for money, there is nothing wrong with a church mentioning money. How do you think bills get paid?

We are commanded by God to tithe 10% off of the top (pre-tax, before anything else is paid). If you don't think you can afford it, you should re-evaluate where your money is going. Your daily $2 cup of Starbucks is a good place to start!
Well with Starbucks are least you are getting something tangible.


And with God, you get eternal life - for free. It's gonna really suck for you when you realize that after all these little quips and jabs at Christianity, you are on the wrong side of eternity.

From TFA:

A German tourist, travelling with a group of friends, identifying himself only as Toby appeared dissatisfied as well.

"I would have expected it to be gruesome. But it felt like it was just a big show," he said.

Another Westerner, clad in shorts and sunglasses, could be heard laughing, "hey, look at all the blood," as the flagellants' whips splattered him and his Filipina girlfriend.

As the crowds dispersed, local children could be seen, scavenging the discarded whips as souvenirs, swinging the bloody flails at each other playfully.

Just... wow.

OH NO, not the FIRE for eternity scare tactic!! You know, you're going to regret all the times you prayed to Jesus when you die and find out Big Foot is the one true God. And you're going to feel even worse when you've been banished to the deep dark, cold eternal forest. I only pray that Big Foot will forgive you.

Remember, Big Foot loves you.

You believe you get eternal life. It is not a fact, because there is no objective evidence whatsoever to support that assertion. You will not truly know the answer until you die.

I love puppies.
i love puppies too. :heart:

this thread was going pretty well earlier. no one felt they had to trample on other's beliefs, but you know.. this is the internet.... so eventually all religious threads end up going down the toidy.

No and no.

I haven't been to church in years.


I didn't even know it was Easter this Sunday until someone at work said to me when leaving "have a good weekend and enjoy your Easter" and it took me a second to even figure out WTF they were talking about.

I was raised Christian though and do celebrate Christmas but thats about it.

I think spirituality is more important than being religious.

Just my opinion though.

I had a dog named Zeus once. He was a half pug half something else mix. Cute dog. Kept pooping on the carpet though and tearing things up. Very temperamental.

If we didn't have a $450 animal deposit at my place I would get another one.
I'll see if I can find a picture.

Nope. I was raised Baptist and I really don't want to hear about how everyone is going to hell except for the Catholics who are going to some kind of super-hell.

LOL, that is the most ignorant statement I've heard on ATOT today! Do you mean the commercialization of the Easter Bunny and eggs? Or the 2000 year old celebration of the ressurection of Jesus?
