20 different answers? I thought you guys all believed in the same thing. I'm getting night and day different answers. You want me to know a God that no one has the slightest clue about.
Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to impose our intolerances until we know what we are even talking about.
"How do you know that every answer you got was from Christians?"

Oh, it's pretty easy when they quote the Bible on how all atheists are wicked because it says so.
"Do people who believe in Thor also exhibit this behavior?"

No, the 1 person that still believes in Thor has his stories straight,lol.
"there is Protestant, Catholicism and Mormonism. All of which fall under the umbrella of Christianity. And they all believe drastically different things."


Yes they do, so should they question their intolerances that they ascribe to their beliefs, in case they are wrong?

What was your question and what answers did you get?

In Christianity just like other faiths, there is Protestant, Catholicism and Mormonism. All of which fall under the umbrella of Christianity. And they all believe drastically different things. Just like not all Muslims are suicide bomber extremists, but they claim Islam....

People do not always rely upon scripture for their answers so always go with scripture bro - always.

Which questions? Can you not tell right answers from wrong answers? If it does not pass the test "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." If you would not want it done to you then it fails the test. If however it is explicit such as "For God so loved the World...." Then how can anyone say it does not include atheists? The last I knew there have been no other Worlds discovered so I guess atheists have just as much chance as everyone else in the World. Do not listen to those who preach wickedness they are not of God.

You don't seem to understand that Christ said many would claim to be christian, but he would tell them to get away, that he never knew them.
Just because people say they are something, it doesn't make it so, you have to walk the walk, as well as talk the talk.

Also maybe you should listen to your own advice in your additional details, as it appears you are quite judgmental and one sided in your thinking, yourself.

How do you know that every answer you got was from Christians? Couldn't have been. Christians should know the answer to a question concerning the Bible.
There are a lot of questions on this site that have nothing to do with religion.

because there are fundamentalist Christians and then more liberal Christians.
Some believe in pro choice, while others call it murder.

If someone claims to be a doctor, would that alone make them one? If a group claims to be Christian, in the same way, it does not mean they are. Proof would be needed. Here are some quality's of true Christianity.

True Christians Are Still United

Like Timothy, true Christians today are keeping their senses by rejecting human reasoning and by accepting only Scriptural authority for their doctrinal beliefs. (Colossians 2:8; 1 John 4:1) In imitation of first-century Christians, Jehovah's Witnesses are accomplishing their ministry in over 230 lands, bringing Jesus' original message, the good news of the Kingdom, to people everywhere. Consider four important ways in which they unitedly imitate Jesus and practice true Christianity regardless of where they live.

Their beliefs are based on God's Word. (John 17:17) A parish priest in Belgium wrote about them: "One thing we can learn from them [Jehovah's Witnesses] is their willingness to listen to God's Word and their courage to witness about it."

They look to God's Kingdom for relief from global problems. (Luke 8:1) In Barranquilla, Colombia, a Witness spoke to Antonio, a strong supporter of a political movement. The Witness did not take sides with him, nor did he advocate some other political ideology. Instead, he offered to study the Bible with Antonio and his sisters free of charge. Soon Antonio realized that God's Kingdom really is the only hope for poor people in Colombia and in the rest of the world.

*

They honor God's name. (Matthew 6:9) When Jehovah's Witnesses first met Maria, a sincere Catholic living in Australia, she allowed the Witnesses to show her God's name in the Bible. How did she respond? "When I first saw God's name in the Bible, I wept. I was so moved by the knowledge that I could actually know and use the personal name of God." Maria continued to study the Bible, and for the first time in her life, she got to know Jehovah as a person and was able to build a lasting relationship with him.

They are united by love. (John 13:34, 35) An editorial in The Ladysmith-Chemainus Chronicle, Canada, commented: "Regardless of your religious persuasion, or lack of, you've got to hand it to the 4,500 Jehovah's Witnesses who worked around the clock during the past week and a half to build a 25,000-square-foot [2,300-square-meter] Assembly Hall in Cassidy .*.*. To do this cheerfully without arguing, dissension or glory-grabbing is a mark of true Christianity."


So consider the evidence. While Christendom's theologians, missionaries, and churchgoers continue to grapple with the gathering storm of controversy in their churches, true Christianity is flourishing worldwide. Indeed, true Christians are going about their assigned ministry of preaching and teaching God's Word. (Matthew 24:14; 28:19, 20) If you are among those who are "sighing and groaning" over the detestable things now taking place and are troubled by the disunity among the religions of Christendom, we invite you to join Jehovah's Witnesses in united Christian worship of the only true God, Jehovah.—Ezekiel 9:4; Isaiah 2:2-4.
