***PLZ READ ALL***\n\nRemag. A lot of Christians like to twist things into something that is caused by Satan. Satanic messages in songs...usually if you play them backwards. Remag...Gamer. Oh NO!!! It is SATAN again!!! i am a gamer, i must be evil because i play with imaginary guns (are not water guns worse than video game guns?), oh no yahoo answers is evil, internet, etc.

God gave us a conscience for a reason--I don't have a problem playing Halo2 or whatever because I know I am shooting aliens for fun...it is NOT real and i'm not going to go murder the kids at my school tomorrow. Now obviously if it is just gross like you torture people and shoot them and blood squirts everywhere that's kind of gross, and I don't play games that have baaad violence for NO reason...i mean that's just dorky.\n\nBut as for games like Halo...I don't see that as a problem\n\n**ADDED STUFF**\n\nIt sounds like maybe one dude who claimed to be a Christian really ticked you off hardcore. If he's a jerk then that's his problem. Hang out with some on fire alive Christians and you can't find a more loving group of people. I know our youth group hangs out and plays video games and goes to Christian rock concerts all the time and have good clean fun. We don't put people down or knock on them--that's just how we roll.

Unfortunately so..\n\n.Perhaps it's a need to "be the one" who gets it right?\n\n Perhaps they're trying to get Christians to work the "Great Commission" harder?\n\n Perhaps they feel "scare tactics" will bring more to Christ?\n\n All of the Above are counter-productive, because then it paints a "charicature" of Christianity...

I think it is horrible that people of any faith would post such nasty comments. I am a believer in God, but do not call myself a Christian. I have had bad experiences with them like yours. These people are not being very good Christians as they are going against a lot of what the bible teaches, ie tolerance and not judging others. You should ignore these people and keep asking questions. It is how we learn and understand.

I go to a church where they cast out demons. It's called a "deliverance ministry". Just last week, there was a woman there, who had about 12 different demons expelled from her.  I think maybe people have been desensitized to the reality of demonic spirits by all the horror movies they've seen over the years.  They've come to believe that they're just a part of sensationalized fiction, rather then reality.  But in fact, there are probably thousands of people in America right now, that are possessed by evil spirits, and they don't even know it.  They've opened the doorway to darkness by getting involved in occult practices, such as witchcraft and satanism.  T.V. Shows like "Charmed", have made witchcraft look like harmless fun, when in fact, it is a very dangerous practice.  It's all a part of Satan's plan to destroy the minds of our youth, and send them to hell.  That's because the Devil is already doomed to spend an eternity there, and he wants to take as many young people along with him as he possibly can.

1) It could be demons, because scripture is obvious that they do interfere in human events. One might ask why demons would go around making strange noises, etc.... Well, my mom personally watches ghost channels on tv and I've seen how its turned her against Christianity, so if the demons want to turn people away from God, apparently they do a good job acting as ghosts. Naturally when you think of demon you might think of some horned beast that wants to go around killing people, but that is not their mission; their mission is deception, and ghosts apparently do deceive people away from God.\n\n2) It COULD (in at least some instances) be your eyes or your mind playing tricks with you.

Does that primitive fairy tale sound right to you?  For example why wouldn't Satan use his powers to make Hell really nice so that people wanted to go to Hell?  He could gain power by being nice.  The whole good and evil nonsense in the Bible is really very silly if you actually analyze it.

Whoa... It's interesting to note that sharing Christianity raises the hackles of so many people. You would think they are the only ones out there cramming their opinions down others throats. There's certainly enough answers on this one doing the same thing. This person is sharing their heart out of love for all of you, and the majority stomp on it.\n\nThe conflict does not lie with the individual, but the differing beliefs. Talk about respect...  that goes both ways. To be sure, there are some zealous Christians out there, but the majority simply are sharing what they have found to be true to those who are asking, especially in this forum, for some answers. A quick survey of some of the answers here on YA will show that most of the personal "attacks" are coming from the non-Christians. Even the avatars reflect the hatred that is so blatantly spread on here.\n\nDon't shoot the messenger who says things you do not want to face or hear. Just because their beliefs counters yours, or hits some spiritual nail on the head, it does not justify your anger to a complete stranger. The motives are readily apparent. Are you coming from a place of hatred or love. Most of the Christians here, and elsewhere, are operating on the love side... are you?

I've had this happen to me too, and I have to tell you....Satan is trying to steal away that time that you are devoting to God.  That is the worse possible time that you could have those thoughts.  He's trying to distract you from your personal time and worship time with God.  You have got to learn to fight back.  If you want it to stop you need to say aloud "Satan, I rebuke you in the name of Jesus, now flee!"  When I do this, I immediately feel relief and those thoughts go away.

I think it's because (in part,anyway..Satan is another but that'd take longer than you and I have here! LOL) anything different is suspect.  Jesus instructed his followers to be "no part of this world" just as he was not (John 17:16)and that to be friends with the world was to have emnity with God (James 4:4) Because we try as best we can to follow in Jesus and his early disciples footsteps, we too try to be no part of this world.  We cannot literally be no part, or we wouldn't be alive, so we stay away from the things the world considers important : much of the entertainment, celebrating of pagan-originating holy days,etc. That makes us stand out like sore thumbs to begin with, but THEN we come to your door every Saturday morning, trying to share what we believe to be literal life-saving truths from the Bible!!! LOL!!\nPeople are always afraid of what they don't understand. We never expect EVERYONE to come to believe as we do, but those who are not afraid are those who have learned FROM US what we believe. They may not agree, but neither do they have misinformation about us, either!  Thank you for this opportunity this evening to share with you! It's been great!!!

Not very well. I wonder why some people even get on this topic of religious & spirituality, only to slam those who know about God and walk with God. The person, who answered this question, only to say those who believe have mental problems, seems very angry, and admits to not following God. So I guess you see, those who do not follow God walk around with anger and seem to attack those who walk in faith. Others, as you read feel God "hates " them. This is another sign of those who are faithless and feeling hurt and empty. Yet others make replies about needing alcohol, this is a way they attempt to fill the void inside of them.Others refer to "thinking" versus believing". You see some are very confused in their thinking. Satan comes to steal one's faith. He comes to deceive. By reading some of the disbelievers answers, many have fallen to Satan's deceit. Hopefully, their lives will lead them to the truth. God is the way, the truth, and the light. It does not matter what antichrists believe. All eyes will see and all ears will hear the truth. Some people can live for quite a while in denial of the truth....but eventually, they will need to face it. I really believe they want to believe and are looking for God.Why else would they get on this topic to answer,\nthe questions. The interest is there, they are drawn to religous & spirituality questions/topics. They are bitter & angry. They need people of faith to teach them about God. They are looking for beacons of light to lead the way, as they are walking in darkness.

Actually they are trying to play us...What the real deal is they are offended because we don't agree with them that's why they're playing that game with us making false accusations thinking we are going to give in!...But keep Strong Christian!!!

The REAL issue is this: if God made us, and doesn't want us to sin, then he must have made a mistake, because according to christians, we do sin. If God did make us right, then sends us to hell for being imperfect, when he's the one who made us that way, then he's a sadistic a-hole. \n\nSo which one is he, incompetent or sadistic?\n\nMaybe there's a third option. There's no such thing as sin. Everything we go through down here is a lesson to learn.

This website is not serious. At least not in the way you think. This is an elaborate parody or satire about Christianity. The person(s) responsible for the site must have strong feelings against Christianity in specific or religion in general to put out this kind of effort to ridicule people of faith. The humor is subtle on the pages I looked at and I would assume that it is throughout. Their intention is to make people believe that they really ARE Christians and to stir up anti-Christian sentiment. Yes, there are some Christians who DO believe in a lot of what is said on this site, but this site is not legitimate. Many Christians are ignorant, hateful, and frankly, stupid, but not all or even most of them. This is not the first site I have seen like this. I can say all this confidently because I have been a Christian for 23 years and I can tell the difference between a wacko Christian and a well constructed mockery.\n\nOkay, I looked at the site some more and some of the satire is not subtle at all! This is a joke people. Whoever did this site is not a Christian.

Not only have I received many death threats, but the most graphic told how I would have my throat slashed with a 12 inch knife. And yes, he professed to be a Christian, after calling me a demon, the anti-christ, and the leader of the R+S atheists.\n\nI don't hold his lunacy against Christians though. He's just a troll.

Ah ...the soft-shoe routine you can get from people who believe in the "inerrant" Bible - when a text clearly states something so awful that it must be re-re-reinterpreted.\n\nSo .. a word from our sponsor:\nIsiah 45:7 "I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things."\n\nAnd now let's hear the various (laughable) renditions of what "evil" means "in this context," or "the actual Hebrew means something totally different." - obviously it couldn't just mean "evil," .... could it? \n\nThere is no one answer to your question. Current theology, in a vain attempt at sidestepping the mystical trend that produced the citation above, holds that God did NOT do what He says He did, or that it's a "mystery to be revealed in the end to us all."

I posted a question a while back on discrepancies in the bible.  It was not an attacking question, not rude, not, IMHO, offensive.  It was a question.  It basically stated that I had read somewhere that every verse in the bible was directly contradicted elsewhere and I asked whether it was true and where I might find documentation if so. \n\nThe question was deleted.\n\nThe moral of the story is, hide in a corner and don't do anything to offend anyone.  Don't do anything anyone disagrees with.  Wait, some people might be offended if you hide in a corner.  Just kill yourself.  Oh, no, Christians are morally outraged at suicide (although not at murder of an unborn child, drug addiction, murder in the name of 'patriotism' or 'for God' or as punishment for crime....) so better not kill yourself.  Um.....I guess just stand around and try not to breathe anyone else's air and no one will get mad, report you, ask for your questions to be removed.....whatever.

Wow sorry about your perception, allow me to change a few things, as i did not intend to seem hateful.\n\n most Christians believe that where God is absent, evil lies. Do i mean this to you directly? well, lets say i reviewed your Q&A and 360 before my post. You basically say you are demon possessed.  Does this mean that you have absence of God in your life, yes i believe so, so im just im just sharing a common general belief there right? no need to feel defensive, honestly.  We could all be closer to God.\nsecondly here i write,\n\n"You poor thing, you have serious issues, its no wonder, you wont let the true LOrd Hold you and save you and coddle you and share his peace and love with you, well how can you expect to be nurtured? and grow into the wonderful being that he planned for you?"\nHave you pushed the Lord away? I know you have, and  I want you to know that you can have all of the above if you let Him in. Does a part of me tell myself that you need that? Yes it does. I see you as hurting. and let me say on a kind gentle note, you dont have to, there are better ways than the sarcastics stated below.\n\n"Now go alienate yourself from all that is Good, take the EASY way; without question,listen to the LIES, deny the ache and stench in your heart, youll feel much more comfortable im sure. "\n\nsarcastic as heck here sweetie do you understand why? Because I have looked at your Q&A,and 360, i am not reacting blindly to this question alone as i would just be sharing what everone else tries to share, to save you, that you are OBVIOUSLY not hearing, anyway.\n\nso i got your attention....GOOD.\n\nSo I peek into who you are and i see, "demon posessed, my demon masters child, death rocks" attitutude.\nand i say,\n"and of course youre nice honey, nice always comes when manipulation is needed,"\n\nguess what? its the truth, generally speaking, it is, and  do i feel it would apply to you, heck yes, it applies to ALL, people dont even realize it.  They sugar coat crap all the time to get the desired outcome, and this too does not come from God.\n\nI hope and pray you have good in you, but isnt that difficult with the demon ruling and all? doesnt he want to make it all about you? if that part of you can undertand good is still in there, bring it out sister, Get strong, and fight, do you realize what bondage you are in?  If you dont think its that easy its because your head is filled with lies.\nI, pregowtwins promise never to fill someones head with lies or spew hatred, but do you know that?\nI wont however pity you or speak  to you condescendingly. You are not a baby, and I (nor was Jesus for that matter), not a pushover.\n\n\n"look at the answerer above me, awww, how true and heartfelt are his comments, he could surely be your best friend."\n\nwell thats just as clear to day as me. Look whos side hes on?\n\nand do you understand in closing that if you..\n "Trust the lies, believe in the false power, there is so much more to gain right?"\n\nyes a bit sarcastic, but you know, you seem pretty steadfast in who you are.\n\nUmmmmm, No.  \nPray for Truth, it will literally set you freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.\n\nBest advice i can give. To me its all about TRUTH, and no i wont sugar coat it, i dont have to, if you cant see it, then youve truly, and respectfully got to deal. No one can save you from the enemy but yourself.\n\nNow if you truly want to know how to do that, if theres something good inside, that wants out, i can "help" you. But you need to fight the Battle, and it  wont be easy. \nGods grace is free, it costs nothing, no price, but its the renewing of your mind, and learning to discern that might be rough.\nyou know the enemy wants you to have and to hold, \nbut trust me, God wants you more, Hes your REAL Father, and He wants you home. you  stated i hate you, but i dont. do i love you, as much as i love myself.  but God, honey he  loves us MORE. look to Him, not
