you said:
If you have a belief in a God, keep it to yourself.
That's not what we're instructed to do. "No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a jar or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a lampstand so that those who come in can see the light. " We are to let our light shine through to bring glory to God.

What does his name even matter? It is his message that matters.
Besides, if Christians are worshipping Jesus then they're going about it all wrong. To whom did Jesus give glory to? Himself? I think not....

The meek will inherit the earth ,
but not before they win the fight !
satan has a firm grip on the lost , - nothing that can't be undone !
Like I said , Bare with me, I have very limited internet access time.However, I will try to answer your reply.
what? is the OP too scared to come back and check his/her replies?
lol
we are missing the very beauty of this earth and in the everyday occurrences of our lives that we are destroying the very essence of what we are.
well, OP, your a Christian, so according to your Bible, all this destruction is actually a good thing right? It means the end times are about us and the more the earth gets beat up, the closer it is to complete destruction, the sooner God will come save all of you guys..
Just to make it clear...I am not Atheist...nor am I religious...
it's just as arrogant to say God doesn't exist, as it is to say he does exist IMO...so I just go about my life, being the best person I can...and that's all I can do...if God does exist...I just hope that's enough to get into Heaven...or at least avoid Hell...
Firstly...are you Ned Flanders?
Okely Dokely...
Secondly..did you actually manage to keep a straight face when you wrote "The H.E. double hokey sticks?

You shouldn't get too upset about people and there pushes against Christianity. It's something expected. As Christians, we need to rise above all of that and strive to show Christ's love to the world; trying to shatter the mold that Christians are supposed to fit and giving a defense for the hope that is in us.
Since Christianity has no real meaning,
Fact: Majority of the founding Fathers were Deists, not Christians
Oliveoil, your Christian strength is in your patience. While Jesus got upset it was at other believers for selling forgiveness in the house of God. When people slam your belief in Christ, know that they hated Christ in the same way. When you display open anger at people that slam your Christianity, you become like those you anguish over. It's not worth it. Instead, always be ready to give an answer for why you believe in Christ and the hope that is within you. They may never believe, but at least you are still telling them the Gospel which is what Christ is all about. Repentance, forgiveness, and salvation. So be patient and you'll be at peace.
Nope.. sorry.. Not a Fact.
