I was told the English language is one of the hardest to learn so why do the foreign countries want to learn our language?

So I have been thinking about this... a lot of atheists, pagans, & people with alternative lifestyle choices say that Christians or people in mainstream religion have been brainwashed, or just bombarded with idea's over and over to the extent that they do not know what to think other than what they have been told.

So, I was brought up in a Pagan family, and most of my young life (up until now, I’m 16) was Wiccan, having found that as my own path. I recently converted to The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (Mormons) much to my parents' dislike. However, I cannot shake some of Pagan beliefs and principles.

I'm confused. I've attended various churches my entire life, of many different denominations since a very young age, & all the schools i've been to have had daily prayer. I seem to have conflicting idea's that have been drummed into my head. How can I see through all the smoke & work out what I truly believe for myself, rather than what I have been taught?

Christians, how do you know that god isn't using Answers to communicate to you? If he can choose any form (and any medium) how do you know you're not posting answers to His questions? Or that he's responding to yours?

How could you know if god was talking to you? Would the voice be out loud or would it be in your head? How could you prove/disprove it was him?

Does it seem crazy that they invade a country, before learning to pronounce its name correctly? And for all those that think 'Eye-rack' is the correct pronunciation, just ask an Englishman (they named it), or better still an Eye-Rack-E!

I've been thinking about which language I would want to learn as my third language. I already speak English and French and would like to learn a third eventually. I am debating between several including German, Spanish and Russian, but I'm trying to balance the ones I enjoy most with the ones that would be more useful. I don't think I'd use German or Russian much unless I travel or spend time in Europe, but I think they are fabulous and interesting languages. Spanish I am less intrigued by, but I am Canadian and there are a lot of people that speak Spanish in the US, not to mention central and south America. What do you think?

PLEASE THINK before you respond. What motivates you to slap "Jesus saves" or "Jesus is the Savior" in response to ANY question about ANYTHING in the world? Browsing around this site I see these responses plopped onto some of the most totally unrelated questions, it boggles the mind. We get it, you are a Christian. Does that help anyone else to know that you believe "Jesus Saves" is a good response to "What should I do about school?" or "How do I get rid of termites?"

A lot of people on this site are religious, many non-christian. Not all of them feel the need to plaster their beliefs across everything they can. Why do you? (Non-plasterers, why do you think they do?)

I grew up in Indiana and visited different states but really not much east or north of Pennsylvania(i.e., Northeast).
My parents would visit different churches when we were on vacation.
I moved to Long Island 7 years ago and right away my girlfriend's family referred to me as a "born-again" and equated me the same way as my parents referred to Jehovah's Witnesses.
My ultimate question is because I have never heard Christians referred to as "born-agains" anywhere until I moved here.
Can anyone explain why this is like this? Nowhere else have I heard this label.

Mr.Hiett advertises that he is a pro-life supporter. Is he therefore against the taking of life by legalised murder such as capital punishment ?

I'm learning German and I've found songs recorded by the Beatles, Johnny Cash and Peter Gabriel in German, does anyone know of other artists that have done the same?

Just wondering how you live with yourselves and the institutionalised Christian homophobia without having bad dreams about the lives you hope to destroy and defame and for what reason?...what does it achieve?..beats me! .


(Wikipedia)
The word homophobia means fear of, aversion to, or discrimination against homosexuality or homosexuals. It can also mean hatred of and disparagement of homosexual people, their lifestyles, their sexual behaviors, or cultures, and is generally used to assert bigotry.[1] Opposition to same-sex activism on religious, moral, or political grounds may also be pejoratively referred to as homophobia

Does anyone else find it odd that we Christians (I was raised Catholic) use names like Jesus, Mary, John, Peter, Paul, etc. for people whos names were really something completely different?

I mean, I don't have any idea what their names were, but I think its safe to say that none of them (ok, with the possible exception of Jesus) would have known who you were talking to if you called them by those names.

I know its due to the Bible being translated into English, but really, shouldn't their names have been important enough to make them look something like what they sounded like at least?

Anyway, just a thought that has bothered me for a while... comment or not as you like.
