QuoteOne God. And yes. We really do.
One that reads your hearts?

I'm genuinely curious about this, because sometimes I get the impression that theists, who believe that their gods can "see their hearts", certainly don't act like it.
of course we don't act like it. We tend to try to have hope that He doesn't know everything, just as a part of human nature. Is it easy for you to accept it if some random person were to walk up to you and say that they could read your mind and know everything about you, but never actually say what ur thinking?

Yes but...a person on the street is just a person on the street, sane people would dismiss any claims like that out of hand. God is supposibly omniscient and not some good illusionist/mentalist

.

(I'm just going by what Christians themselves claim, which isn't quite in line with how they act...)

You know, today, if some guy proclaimed "Let the little children come to me", he'd probably be branded a pedophile and have his underwear bugged by some government agency.

Why is it different with jesus..? Does the Book(tm) specifically say that he didn't want the kiddies for... that..?

Well, in that time and place, child marriages were probably common. So, Jeebus might have had a young bride

With the time ad money people spend at church/donating to church, thry could be helping real people in need.
If I gave my paychecks to an alter of Lochness, people would think i'm insane. Why are christians so accepted? I think they mostly have brain tumors. (the super fanatics who sing and cry about jeebus)

Yeah, but most of them believe that it only really matters that God sees that they "believe". So as long as they have belief in their hearts, they can continue being assholes.

Because, of course, they also believe (or at least hope) that god understands and forgives. And why not? If there is a god it's just as likely that it does as that it doesn't understand and forgive so go with that silver lining.

I have to say, the day I see any group of people, large or small, routinely walk their talk I'll probably drop dead from the shock.

Sadly, I didn't actually look through the book as I was great with roast chicken at the time, but I will look at it in a few days next time I'm there.

Non bribed chocolate milk all around!!! **** yeah!!!!

Y'know what's pathetic, if believing in god were the only way to get a cold glass of chocolate milk I could probably still be bribed with it today.

lol at "Jesus loves little children", like that is supposed convince others that kids need god because "Jesus loves them". Pedophiles also love children ... that doesn't mean children need them.

From your lips to God's ears.

Every time someone mentions Jesus and Children, I eventually think of this image:

Manipulative images like this are what Xians and the NRA use to make religion look cool and fun to kids.

Actually, if that were the case, then i believe this would be a better image, huh?

This is clearly a fake. I went to a catholic school as a boy. Nuns just don't look like this.

Ever.

Oddly enough several of them did carry guns and dogs around.

Hmm....my experience, too!
