Here is the relevant part to the OP's quote

"But in any town where you are not welcome, go to the marketplace and proclaim: ‘Even the dust of your town that clings to our feet, we wipe off and leave with you. But know and be sure that the kingdom of God had come to you’. I tell you that on the Judgment Day it will be better for Sodom than for this town»."

Michaelb,
I am not superstitious no matter what you may think.
God is NOT a superstition.
There is no way for me or anyone to have a God free day.
He is here now always whether you believe it or not.
God is much more than belief. God IS!!
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Zeus is NOT a superstition.
There is no way for me or anyone to have a Zeus free day.
He is here now always whether you believe it or not.
Zeus is much more than belief. Zeus IS!!

Yet despite these word and despite the millions who believed Zeus was as real as your god. Billions now don't even considor him in their daily lives. If you can live like Zeus doesn't exist you can live like god doesn't exist.
*Pro tip: When you live your life like there is no god. You live it exactly the same except you spend less time praying and more time doing. Try it next time you want something instead of praying for it. Spend ten minutes thinking about how you can achieve it on your own.

michealb,
No thanks I get far too much good from praying to give it up.
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Unknown008,
Good for you
The more you practice your faith the stronger it will be.
No way can an atheist convert me either.
Peace and kindness,
Fred

Unknown008,
To stay on topic Jesus told his disciples to dine together.
So let us do so though we are far apart.
Coffee and doughnuts for all.

It works both ways oddly enough.

Unknown008 · Oct 8, 2008, 07:30 AM

Unfortunately... yes :(

NeedKarma · Oct 8, 2008, 07:37 AM

Why "unfortunately"? You live your life and I'll live mine. We'll both be good people. No need to preach to people, lead by example.

Unknown008 · Oct 8, 2008, 07:43 AM

But I felt that... Ok, never mind, just a feeling.

arcura · Oct 8, 2008, 06:16 PM

Unknown008,
It was a good feeling.

The thread, please.
Other than that this is so wrongheaded advicewise to anyone who is a Christian as to be not worth mentioning.:rolleyes:

If you want to talk about that start your own question instead of hijacking this one. I'm always amazed over the kindergarten, lowest common denomination advice you guys shovel out in response to a college level question.

What is the question exactly? Can you give me just the "Cliff's Notes" version?
Anyway the above was not directed at YOU or I would have said the Brainiac version rather than the kindergarten.
