3 things May, Pac, Ward, Trout, Guerro have in common

My bible calls me to love regardless. Not my job to judge. I will say that one day, sooner or later you will get your wish. I'm assuming your a younger guy, probably decently healthy? I'm personally 26, and take pretty good care of myself, but were all gonna get old, weak, and die...These days if you make it to old age your a blessed individual.
This is typically the moment most people cry out for God to help them when they lose there looks, there health, etc. I'm personally glad it didn't take me as long as it does for some, and however it happens it's a great thing.
Also why I'm amazed at these boxers who are warriors, have tons of $, fame, young, and still give all praise to Christ.. Instead of taking the glory all for themselves.

 

Agreed. I don't hate atheists, and I respect there opinions. I don't know everything or claim to. I know about my own life, and what I've seen that has worked. I used to be an atheist myself, or I should say a guy who beleived in *some sort of God* so I know what it's like.
But yeah hard to respect people that give no respect.

 

You really think we magically appeared here and have absolutely no purpose? Humans spawned from nothing, or like some people beleive evolved from monkeys, or whatever they evolved from?
Let's see not only do we have the ability to think, and choose, but have little voices inside our head that battle. Something says DO THIS... it's the right thing, it's good. You do it and feel great. Fear and doubt creep in and says NO! Don't do that.. If you do that then what will happen to you? You don't do it, and feel guilty and bad about yourself.
Atheist, or not everybody can look deep inside themselves and clearly see there is a war that goes on in your mind. An encouraging voice (God... The holy spirit if you study the bible), and a discouraging voice (Satan... the accuser of the brethen if you study the bible).
People say this is simply a "conscience" like that is nothing at all. Where did it come from? Why is it in us if it means nothing in the end, and you don't need to follow it?
If we magically appeared here in your eyes.. What's to say we don't magically appear after the grave somewhere else?
We will talk when were both dead. If I'm right I don't take pleasure in proving to you I am. If the bible is correct, I'd go to heaven, and you go somewhere else. I find no pleasure in that, but we will see.

 

I don't know many churches that sell tickets? They take up an offering usually at the beginning or end of service.
I will say there are a lot of christians who absolutely do not look different than the world. They beleive in Jesus, they beleive he did all the things he said he did, they will go to heaven, but anybody looks at them does not see any difference (bible describes these as babies in christ, or carnal christians). I will say I know many atheists that are fantastic people as well, and some more giving of christians I know (shouldn't be that way if christians would read there bible, pray, and keep close to god. bible says we go from glory to glory to glory). Christians are called to be the nicest, generous, most forgiving, peaceful people walking the planet, but sadly I will admit many are not.
Fact is though, if this many people feel empty in there life to come to the "church's that are bigger than malls" obviously they must be getting something out of it. Jesus says he draws all people to him... He wishes to save everyone. Not every person will come to him, and not everyone will be saved, but he was definitely correct. I think something like 1/3 of the world (not just america) confess they are christians.
