IMO the bible is not 100% accurate nor does it always preach the correct moral model. With this said I also believe the cannon also has some historical truths to it with certain moral standards which are indeed correct. With this also said, even the stories that are not historically accurate & or those which are metaphors can be used to demonstrate a teaching point. Does it matter or not whether the story of Noah's Ark is true to be able to use it for teaching trust in the higher power? There are many such possible examples in the bible. I write this in part for those of you who are certain the bible is the one all be all of truths & I also write this for those of you who have polarized in the opposite direction thinking the bible like other books in the past should be burned. If we realized the point is moot then we allow ourselves to be open to functional teaching points without getting too caught up in our respective dogmas.

Do any preachers, or priests, or rabbis, or reverends use the internet? I've never ran accross any on this site or any other forum. Is it against thier vows? Do they not have the time? What is it?

All of us in this section of yahoo would take a moment later when we leave our computers and are all by ourselves and ask this question: Invisible Pink Unicorn if you are real whoever you are,and whatever the truth is would you reveal it to me? And see what happpens. If you do this for real it would be nice to hear from you. You could post an answer and add your results later before this question closes. Thanks for participating I'm really interested in the results.

Something went wrong either in my generation or my parent's generation. I am 27 and am horrified by alot of what I see and hear today. The way kids and teenagers (and even some of my generation) behave. The way they dress (and the parents let them). I personally would never let my daughter out of the house in some of that junk. Heck, it's hard to find 'normal' jeans anymore, even for a six year old girl. Everywhere you look, kids have their butts hanging out of their pants. It's disgusting. Are parents just afraid to take control of their kids or is there something bigger going on?

Atheists say to Christians what proof of is there of your God? And the Christians says you can't prove he doesn't exist. But Christians apply this same logic that the atheist does, the presumption of atheism, to all other Gods,

all other religous people could respond the same to the Christian, prove our God(s) don't exist, and since you can't . . . .

and round and round religious goes.

I wonder how many people are going to answer and tell me I need Jesus, to which I respond with the presumption of atheism, prove it please.

When there is continous tree ring data that goes back more than 8000 years. Most people know that trees have rings, one for every year, and so unless God is messing with our heads, they record years the same way then as they do now...

I know this is kind of spell begging but I need some help. An ex-friend of my family is destroying my family. He influenced my father to divorce my mother and sent her to jail on fake charges. I need something to get him away from my dad and lessen his influence. I know his name and know exactly what he looks like. I don't have a pic of him though. I do know where he lives, but its very far and I don't know when/if I'll get there. What can I do? Thanks

PS. I'm rather report happy so any BS comments will be reported. If you want to offer sympathy thats OK. Thanks.

is dating. should i confront my sister and her boyfriend after school and tell them this is HARAM!! My sister is muslim, so she should know that this is immoral and my parents would never approve of this. should i also tell my parents that she has a boyfriend so that can save her soul from an etnierty of hell? Why the hell do muslims date when it is very immoral?!! Dating always leads to sex and if i dont do something now she is going to end up in trouble.

I have a friend who was raped ONE time and she has never gotten over it.This past 2 weeks she talked of suicide. It has been so in her pores of her soul that only a miracle could take it from her. i saw a documentary a few nights ago and it spoke of soviet girls that were sex slaves and are raped 20 times a day. Then I saw the scene change and a girl escaped from the slave owners and went home to her dying younger brother. She had NO MONEY, NO PARENTS, NO DRS CARE FOR HER YOUNG brother. She did the unthinkable. To get money for his care SHE WENT BACK TO BE A CALL GIRL. I wept in my heart for days. Would my Jesus curse this girl ? NO WAY! Is it OK to do what she did ? No way.But His heart yearns for her in deep compassion. What to do for her ? We have to empty our pockets for her and bring her home. Shes desperate with no means at all. I go on in my 360 about this. I ask all of you.....do you really think Jesus holds this against her ? ( I say...no way..no way... )

Here is a quote I pulled from one of the previous questions from Gloria V.

"Actually, He has revealed Himself as the creator of the universe. It's called read the Bible. Please don't post things like this. They're offensive to Christians, like me."

Please note, this is NOT A ******* CHRISTIAN WEBSITE! It offends me that Christianity is trying to force its beliefs into every aspect of the world. Religion is a dying race, it has outlived its usefulness and should be erradicated. All religion is is spirituality mixed in with the supernatural. The supernatural is for people to stupid to think and the spiritual is for people too lazy to think.
