What if someone who accepted, believed and loved God created a religion. If he and his followers tried to live by the holy bible and love all, and they never tried to push their views onto anyone. If they were law abiding citizens and kept to themselves. Would they be labeled as fake, idiots? If so, why? I mean they believe in God and they don't attack anyone else, or is society afraid of having a religion that is actually peaceful and not corrupt?

My biggest pet peeves? Probably people with cell phones in public places especially restaurants and my biggest one r/e driving are people that do not use their turn signals or turn them on when you are already (stuck) behind them. How about you?

Willys cynical thought for the day;

If you've ended up in hell with someone, and you're still mad at them, where do you tell them to go?

The following is supposedly an actual question given on a university chemistry exam. The answer by one student was so profound that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Bonus Question: Is Hell exothermic (gives off heat) or endothermic (absorbs heat)?

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools when it expands and heats when it is compressed) or some variant.

One student, however, wrote the following:

First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate at which souls are moving into Hell and the rate at which they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving. As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state: that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Since there is more than one of these religions and since people do not belong to more than one religion, we can project that all souls go to Hell. With birth and death rates as they are, we can expect the number of souls in Hell to increase exponentially. Now, we look at the rate of change of the volume in Hell because Boyle's Law states that in order for the temperature and pressure in Hell to stay the same, the volume of Hell has to expand proportionately as souls are added.

This gives two possibilities:

1.If Hell is expanding at a slower rate than the rate at which souls enter Hell, then the temperature and pressure in Hell will increase until all Hell breaks loose.

2.If Hell is expanding at a rate faster than the increase of souls in Hell, then the temperature and pressure will drop until Hell freezes over.

So which is it?

If we accept the postulate given to me by Teresa during my Freshman year that, "it will be a cold day in Hell before I sleep with you," and take into account the fact that I slept with her last night, then number 2 must be true, and thus I am sure that Hell is exothermic and has already frozen over. The corollary of this theory is that since Hell has frozen over, it follows that it is not accepting any more souls and is therefore, extinct ... leaving only Heaven thereby proving the existence of a divine being which explains why, last night, Teresa kept shouting "Oh my God."

THIS STUDENT RECEIVED THE ONLY "A"!!!

that we are going to Heaven or Hell before we are even born, does this mean that He lets people be born with the full knowledge that some of those people are born just to end up in Hell?

If you're telling children that they could go to hell, you're mentally abusing them.

Telling children that they could go to hell will not improve children's behavior. Why?

Because you also teach them that they can just repent and say they're sorry and still go to heaven so, what's the point?

Was it not Jesus who preached to "go into thy closet to pray and thy father shall reward the openly--but do not praise and give in the streets as the hipocrites do" (Matthew 4-ish)?

Didn't Jesus NOT want people to be zealotous in public?

I read a prophetical statement about a companion to prophet Muhammed who was married to a woman and one night his wife was chatting with him and she opposed prophet Muhammed. The man tried to stop her but she did not stop, then he KILLED her. The next morning he told the story to prophet Muhammed and prophet Muhammed praised him for what he had done and told him that the woman desrved to be KILLED.

The above statement was narrated by Abu Dawood [3795] and also by Nisai'ee. That statement was a vital source used by Ibn taimia to justify that anyone who opposed prophet Muhammed should be killed.

My question is:
Should someone be killed JUST for opposing prophet Muhammed? especially that it was a private conversation with her husband.

Also, did that man produce any evidence to support what he'd said? does not this give a licence for anyone to kill his wife and pretend that she opposed prophet Muhammed?

Your Jesus instructed you to "give to all who ask of you." So I am again asking you to send me ALL of your money.

Come on all ye faithfull, put up or shut up. Certainly there must be among you someone with the chutzpah (or backbone) and extra bucks to demonstrate and set an example for all--believers and non-believers--that you do indeed try to be Christ-like in all of your deeds to the best of your power and pocketbook.
Come on follower of Christ! THis is your chance to prove it !

Wouldn't Jesus say that it's people like J-P Satre and Vladimir Putin who need him the most?

And wouldn't he attack the Evangelicals for being so judgemental of everyone around them? Has Matthew 7 been added to the Apocrypha or what?

Why is the usual stereotype of liberals as unreligious so common in America? Every democratic politician in Congress is a Christian, so why are we held in the 'ungodly' position? Is it because allow others NOT to be Christian is un-Christian? Isn't makeing the judgement that all liberals are un-Christian a little un-Christian in itself?
