Lets say there's this guy who has been good his entire life. He gives back to his community, helps ppl, saves lives, is regarded as a hero, and hasn't commited any major sins. But he doesn't believe in God. Will he go to hell (according to Christian/Catholic beliefs)?

Asking questions and reading the answers is so much more fun than just answering questions with some information you know or something... why?

There are alot of people posting genuine questions about the situation in the Middle East, and I applaud you for seeking answers. However, I see so many ignorant postings asking about the middle east and judging the religion and culture. Why doesn't anyone care about our OWN culture?
Why don't you ask about the KKK that still continues to spread hate?
Why don't you ask about the pedophiles that are destroying our children?
Why don't you ask about the polygamy that is going on in our own country?
What about the youths that are getting involved with gangs, drugs and sex?
Why are there so many rapes in this county? (Every 2 minutes, a woman is sexually assaulted in the US)
What about teen age mothers?
How about STDs?
Corruption in the law, government and media?
Racism?

People, I'm just scratching the surface here.
I'm proud to be an American, and don't misunderstand me. I just wish people would stop judging other cultures and start checking out our own back yards.

Our fore fathers eventually severed the ties to England. They wanted to be Americans in the purest sense. So, when immegrants come here (not under political asylum), are they coming to be Americans, or do they want to become e.g. "African-Americans", "Spanish-Americans", etc. Or should they be AMERICANS? Why do we even need to debate what language our national dialect shouldl be??

clothing is something that is useful to the body while it lives.
it's no different than putting a magic amulate or sacred deer antlers in a coffin.
the original intent of burying anything with the dead was to outfit them for the after life. so again, why is someone who has no belief in an afterlife buried in clothing? aren't they aware of what it insinuates?

The Mormons specifically state that they believe in the Bible "AS FAR AS IT IS TRANSLATED CORRECTLY"!! Convenient, huh? Like where the Bible says that it is the word of God and that there are to be no more additions (like the Book of Mormon?). Oh, that's simply "incorrect". How convenient. And how about the Commandments, like the one about there being only ONE God? Mormon theology holds the door open for ANY good Mormon MAN to be a God, along with all of the other 'Gods' that used to be men already out there! Brigham Young stated that; "No one will ever enter heaven unless they believe in and have the consent of Joseph Smith." (Journal of Discourses). The Bible says to believe in Jesus. So who you gonna call?

Seriously, is there like some organization that hires people to go on Yahoo Answers and just throw bible quotes around? No offence, just interested to know if there is some organized effort to convert peeps. I mean I live in China and i know they have gov. officials whose job is to sway public opinion in favor of the government on internet chat rooms. Essencially same thing?

You have been feeling really down. Listening to the news, watching the current disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes and all the negative happenings of the last week have you feeling really irritated and depressed. Suddenly as you walk past a store window you see a reflection in the glass that you don't see when you turn around. It's Jesus. He is looking at you.

Stopping you turn around to look directly at Him. No one is standing where the reflection would have come from. What to do?

Do you just walk on or do you just stand there puzzled? Do you say anything or don't you believe in prayer? If prayer is a conversation with God, why wouldn't you speak? What is this all about?

Let's say you buy a friend a shirt that you really like too. Is it wrong to buy the same style of shirt for yourself even if it's in a different color? Or if you buy them a brand of make-up that works well for you and you buy two gift baskets... one for the friend and one for yourself. Is it considered rude, fine, or indifferent?

Some Christians say that hell is all about being eternally separated from God.
1.) How is this possible if, as the Bible claims, God is everywhere? Wouldn't he be in hell, also?

2.) Why is it such a big deal? The majority of humans don't worship BibleGod, anyway, so being separated from him would be no different than it is now. BibleGod can go swallow Drano and die for all I care.

3.) If hell also involves eternal torture, then what, exactly, is going to BE tortured? Souls are immaterial entities without nerves or brains, so they don't feel pain. What difference does it make if they get tossed into fire?

4.) How can anyone consider it fair to provide INFINITE punishment for FINITE sins? That's like punishing a person every single day of his life just for one bad thing that he did when he was three!
