I think this is the last question I am going to ask in this section since my vacations are over and I am going to do more constructive things than wasting my time here.

This section of Religion and Spirituality is getting full of the wrong people. Why the atheist, agnostics, non-believers are in this section 24/7 when they are supposed to be in the Science and Mathematics section?

They are here all the time, I even recognize them easily because I see them too often here. You post questions to make people think and then they pretend to be the victims saying they feel offended.

Aren't you in the incorrect section in the first place? If you are in middle of religious people you are going to get your butt burned in purpose because you wanted it. Christians love to experiment with atheists, to prove their beliefs. Don't like it? Leave. Want to do the same to them? All of you are doing it wrong, by being offensive and insulting we will immediately dismiss you and label you.

I always get mail from these preachers/ ministers/prohets asking me for money for this, that and the other---what is with that? I get envelopes with point of contact items as they call them. Should I give money to these ministries? Don Stewart, St. Matthews Church, etc.

No Anne Rice rubbish, curiously in the past few moths alot of people in occult forums have been asking questions about them. This mystery seems to have increased seeing as alot of the more helpful sites have mysteriously shut down...any thoughts

I understand some take quotes from him RUNNING for office 1920's &1930's..in an attempt to win the Christian vote.

But what did he say after he got into office and banned Elections...is that more accurate of his REAL feeling?...show me where I'm wrong.

Quotes from Hitler AFTER he gained Power:

Dec 10 1941 Hitler said: Christianity is a rebellion against natural Law, it a cultivation of human failure

Oct 14 1941: The best thing is let let Christianity die a ntural death it has reached the peak of absurity

Dec 13 1941: Christianity is an invention of sick brains

Dec 14 1941: Christinaity quite simply to the annihliation of mankind. The heaviest blow to humanity was Christianity<------Adolph Hitler said this and much more.

Why do some misrepresent history about Hitler and his obvious hate for Christinity?????

Serious answers ONLY!!!

Yesterday I asked if it was OK for students to wear "Straight Pride" T-shirts to school.

Dannii n Sac responded: "No that is pretty much the same as someone walking into school with a KKK outfit."

What is it with the sheer intolerance and bigotry displayed by so many gays and their advocates?

If they're not threatening their debate opponents with choking and acid facials, if they're not hurling racist slurs at opponents who (like me) happen not to be white, they're comparing straight people to the Klan.

I thought you folks were the big champions of respect and tolerance. But I guess many of you just want to receive those things, but don't want to give them.

"Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever. The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises. The wind blows to the south and turns to the north; round and round it goes, ever returning on its course. All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again ... What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." (Eccl. 1:4-9)

And as he was passing by, he saw a man blind from birth. And his disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who has sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?" Jesus answered, "Neither has this man sinned, nor his parents, but the works of God were to be made manifest in him.'" (John 9:1-3)

Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. (Psalm 51:5)

I get the point of community service, I really do. I get why so many people need or want it and all the benefits it provides individuals and family. I just from previous experience have't gotten anything out of it and I guess now realize my lack of care or numbness on it towards if it helps others.

Not as much an issue at the moment seeing how the last few dozen volunteer gigs i've applied for have said i wouldn't be a good fit (no car, lack of references (no network) and differences between myself and conservative region live in. Ex-homeless shelter are runned by church and i don't believe in the bible deal).

For a while I kept thinking I was just making excuses, though realize now I've just really numbed myself to humanity without a means out. (notes-have seen shrinks, don't love myself or able to grasp how to do so, though no worries, given up on suicide).

So, any ideas? Guess just of the standard answers. I mean I clearly can't grasp how to get passed this.

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, "Who do people say the Son of Man is?" They replied, "Some say John the Baptist; others say Elijah; and still others, Jeremiah or one of the prophets." (Matt. 16:13-14)

He who overcomes I will make a pillar in the temple of my God. Never again will he leave it." (Rev. 3:12)

Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did."" (Matt. 21:32)

We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death.” (1 John 3:14

IWomen received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection." (Heb. 11:32-35)
