For my christian friends here who became Christians as adults:
1) What was the reason you chose to believe?
2) Based on this, how should we approach non-believers, atheists, agnostics, and others?

What’s with the glazed robotic zombie like look in religious people’s eyes when raving about their faith and quoting scriptures? Do they know they are doing this and looking creepy or is it some sort of mental reflex

Somewhere in America I think, I've already been to hell and found the weather not to my liking. What's good, good people?

At first it was just an occasional thing, a hat here and there, maybe some heels. But.. lately.. well, I've it's gotten to the point where I've actually purchased dresses and lingerie.

Is this really a problem? should I be concerned?

I have a lot of resources that I can utilize, I try to use them all. This one I found productive at first, but I am honestly wondering if the benefits outweigh the grief. I have to seek guidance on this issue. To jump to conclussions when I am hot and tired is not a wise thing to do. Thank you for allowing me to spew.... No ill intent meant.
Peace and Love

"en wa seehookee yorimo ookii desu"

I know it means that the circle is bigger than the square but I don't know what the yorimo translates to in English. Thanks.

I know someone who obviously has anger built up due to personal history. He drank the other day and totally became full of rage, yelling and even used a racial slur towards me. It was scary! Apart from that, he's really a great person with a big heart and has been very unselfish at times. I am a believer. Please tell me your opinions. Thanks.

We should tell God to show himself(visually)
OR
We're closing down all the churches, stopping all prayers, and start refusing to acknowledge his existence.

"A new paper by one of the world’s leading paleontologists argues that the Cambrian explosion-"biology’s big bang"-was a real event. Around 540 million years ago, between 50% and 80% of all animal phyla to ever exist appeared explosively over a short period of time (less than 5 million years). The Cambrian explosion stands as one of the biggest enigmas facing the evolutionary paradigm. On the other hand, biology’s big bang serves as powerful evidence for the Creator’s intervention in life’s history. Some evolutionary biologists seek to avoid the troubling consequences of the Cambrian explosion by arguing that it never occurred; they maintain that it is an artifact of an incomplete fossil record. But in the face of this challenge, Simon Conway Morris presents new evidence maintaining that the Cambrian explosion was indeed a real event."

Evolutionists, how can this be explained? Young earth creationists, is the age of the earth as determined by scientists unreliable? Why?

Someone told me that there was a meaning (superstition) about have dragonflies hover around you. This someone says that she is surrounded by dragonflies whenever she gets out of the car at work.

11 And the magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians and on all the Egyptians.

Exodus 9.11 (New King James Version)

Not exactly anything to laugh it, few boils.

The Bible makes it PERFECTLY clear that homosexuality is SIN! Yet some people call themselves Christians, but say that it's ok to be gay. Look at these verses, and tell what the Bible says.

Romans 1

26For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

Then a few verses down:

32Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are WORTHY OF DEATH, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.
