why do christian charities refuse to help homosexuals? (or so ive heard...)
I've never heard about that. Many Christian charities overseas help the poor of many faiths and backgrounds every day, numbering in the hundreds of thousands.
Why do you ask Atheists why they don't believe in God?
I like listening to atheists. Sometimes they put my views in perspective. Naturally, I'll also share what I've found to be true. When something as powerful as a person's eternal well-being is at stake, I'll certainly hope to share my viewpoint if I think I can help.
I'd say alot of people are poor Christians, it's not an easy religion to follow, it still makes you a Christian, but somewhat more in name only.
Saying that your a Christian because you go to church is no more correct than saying your an automobile because you go to a garage.
I forget who said that.
Well said. Being a Christian is most certainly not easy. There are many obstacles and worldly desires that drive prospective Christians farther from God.
Question for protestants, from a catholic. Do you really dress up for mass? I dont think ive ever seen anyone wear their 'sunday best' to mass, even a holiday.
We don't even have mass. As for dressing up, this varies widely from one Protestant congregation to another. Some are very formal, while others will let you come in church in your PJs.
