April 1506 - Portugal
"On the same day on which the Conversos (Jews who were forced to convert to christianity) were liberated, the Dominicans displayed in a side-chapel of their church, where several New Christians were present, a crucifix and a reliquary in glass from which a peculiar light issued. A New Christian, who was so incautious as to explain this ostensible miracle as being due to natural causes, was dragged from the church and was killed by an infuriated woman. A Dominican roused the populace still more; and two others, crucifix in hand, went through the streets of the city, crying "Heresy!" and calling upon the people to destroy the Marranos. All New Christians found in the streets were killed; and a terrible massacre ensued.

If the Easter Bunny had it's roots in pagan religions which christians condemned as evil, why is the Easter Bunny so accepted in Christianity? Why do we celebrate easter with this heathen bunny?

I work with a guy here in Texas from New Brunswick and his accent rocks, especially when he says "out" or "about". Anyway, I've always been fascinated by Canada.

I have mormon friends, married into a non-practicing Mormon family and still-no one will give me a straight answer.

I don't want any smart *** answers. I'm not insulting the faith (although I will never follow it. I would just like a straight forward answer if that's possible.

I read Gospel of John Chapter 1 first few verses, and the explanation is that because he was "in the beginning" and the "word" that he - Jesus - was without original sin. I don't understand, since I asked earlier in the week was Jesus there when God ddecided to destory Sodom, and was told no Jesus wasn't born.

Is it that he was born to the "virgin" Mary? And this means he is without original sin? If so, why does Matthew go through the trouble of telling us the geneology?

I do not understand Atheists and that they do not believe in our Heavenly Creator? Since Atheists do not believe in Heaven or Hell they think once they die that that is it, in the ground you go, end of story. How sad! My question is why, why do you believe the way you do? God is so good and will bless you richly if you just believe and have faith.

I'm a recovering alcoholic and have been going to AA meetings for 3 years. I previously had a period of sobriety in my life that lasted 9.

I relapsed during the past 3 years several times, and my belief is God is the only think that has kept me away from a drink. I've been sober a while, but I'm losing faith quickly.

The reason is that I'm very lonely. I haven't managed to make any friends, my ex-girlfriend left me a year ago and is sober now, and has tons of friends.

I have found women in recovery aren't interested in men in recovery, and women outside of AA don't want to date a recovering alcoholic.

I try very hard to trust that God has a plan for happiness for me some day, but I'm so lonely I haven't been happy for a year.

Why does God want me to be so lonely?

I mean, look at it this way.

Osama/MIddle Easterners see the Bush Admin, and hates all Americans and all Christians (which is un-Muslim) becasue he thinks they are all anti-Islam and materialist.

Americans see Osama and 9/11, and assume all Muslims are gun-weilding nutjobs (which is un-Christian, Matthew 7:1).

why do people like to stereotype?
was the Iraq war a result of religious ignorance on both sides?
