Yes, all religion is bad, that is way you have a relationship with the Lord, that is different then a religion.

Originally posted by RBHILLWhy do you keep repeating such stupidity as your ridiculous assertion that of all the people who don't believe in God "none does good"? Even a submoron like you must know that isn't true. Why repeat lies, RBHILL?

Originally posted by RBHILLActually www.theinfidelguy.com says that there is no god and they raised a decent amount of money to help the victims of the tsunami. Is that an abominable deed in you opinion?

Originally posted by bobbob1056thMy young friend I have no worries about "burning in Hell". You, however, should be concerned about the flames that are licking your feet. By misappropriating spiritual teachings you are incurring far worse consequences for yourself in the future than are agnostics, atheists, undecided intellectuals, or sincere practitioners of other valid spiritual paths. Unless you stop condemning what you think are "non-Christians", you're headed for a fall with a resounding thud. You may just be one of those people Jesus was referring to when he said "I never knew them."
Would you rather exist on Earth and then burn in hell forever or never exist?

When you tell someone they are a sinner taht is not condemning.
First off if he is saved he is ok.

You still need to read the rest of Ch 14.
Even if you do good you still do bad. And for one sin you are lost and that is why you NEED Jesus.

"Psalm 14
For the music director; by David.
14:1 Fools say to themselves, “There is no God.”
They sin and commit evil deeds;
none of them does what is right.
14:2 The Lord looks down from heaven at the human race,
to see if there is anyone who is wise and seeks God.
14:3 Everyone rejects God;
they are all morally corrupt.
None of them does what is right,
not even one!
14:4 All those who behave wickedly do not understand—
those who devour my people as if they were eating bread,
and do not call out to the Lord.
14:5 They are absolutely terrified,
for God defends the godly.
14:6 You want to humiliate the oppressed,
even though the Lord is their shelter.
14:7 I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion!
When the Lord restores the well-being of his people,
may Jacob rejoice,
may Israel be happy!"

Why should he go begging door to door?

Originally posted by bobbob1056thMaybe those tsunami victims who got help from non-believers would disagree. It seems to me that many Christians are much more interested in their own salvation than in other people's wellbeing. I much prefer people who risk burning in hell because they think it's more important to help others than to save themselves.
It never says that they only do abominable deeds. It says there is none that do good. This means it would be better if they never existed because their sum is never anything good.

But you see a lot of thoughs unsaved Catholics at FDNY look at porn and save lives, that does not mixs.
