I've seen a lot of Elvis Impersonators, and two things are obvious; they don't look like Elvis, and they all look alike.

Is it impossible for some Christians to let Christ do the thinking, the arguing, and let him win the hearts and minds of the people? Show the love, and the people will come...

I'm tired of it all.... I make constant efforts to try to improve things, to try to reach a high star, but things never work out. I just can't swim against the current.
I feel I deserve her, I feel I deserve more, but i'm stuck in reverse.

Should I just give up, stop swimming and let the river drag me down?

so when you see a latin person walking down the street do you automatically assume he/she is a Mexican? I am SO sick of hearing stupid ignorant people calling everybody of latin origin a Mexican! Can't you dumb people look at a map!! Latin America is not just made up of Mexico!!!!!! So are you one of those dumb people who don't know any better?

Since none of us remember existing before we were born, what makes anyone think that we'll exist after we die?

I heard from somewhere that God used to speak directly to people like Adam. Adam would be able to just stand up and hear what God had to say to him, but I also heard that God at one point stopped directly communicating with his people. Why is this so? any clues?

My boyfriend is from Columbia and I know he enjoys reading novels that are written in Spanish. I was wanting to send him a book while he is stationed over seas. Any recommendations?

I guess I could consider myself a christian, i was baptised catholic and confirmed, but for some reason, I have never really felt god as a big part of my life. I hate goin to church, i never think that god can help me at all. It may be because my little brother is really messed up and hes only 12, and hes had like 5 brain surgerys, and had a heart monitor put in. It just seems to me that god isnt doing all that he can. But i guess what im really tryin to ask, is like do you really have to go to church to be a follower of god? I think that if you do good in your life, are good to others, and just live your life to its fullest, then god will be happy.

Many people have come forward with no faith in religion, and some full of hatred and said that God is fake, Christianity is superstitious, etc. etc. So what is your argument? Prove to me God is not real, and Jesus didn't exist.

I'm not Jewish, and most of the Jews I've met seem like nice guys, but the the thing I dont understand is, whether they were the Inquisitors, The Nazis, The Muslims, and all these are crazies out there, just always blame everything on the jews...why is this? does anyone know anything about this?

It seems like all religious denominations contridict one another on who actually goes to heaven. Does this mean we all go to hell? If not, what is the correct way to get into heaven and why?

I have seen alot of questions and answers in this section that are rather forceful,cruel,and disrespectful coming from both athiests and christians.Isn't it easier to win someone to your side of the debate by being kind,respectful,and at least half-way intellegent in your Q&A?I mean,it makes me not want to take anything an athiest says seriously sometimeswhen just about all I hear them say is hateful cruel things about the religious .And alot of athiests cant take the religious seriously because of the massive amount of "ZOMG u r ttly going to hell you ungrateful ppls liek duhz."
I know there are nice considerate people out there,I 've seen alot of nice people in this section that actually *gasp* like to help each other and debate in a peaceful matter.But what does the bitterness do to help you to accomplish?(I'll have to admit I can be very mean at times,but its usually after my buttons have been pushed.)Do you wish to "convert" people by being hateful?

Solomon was a prolific writer. He composed 3,000 proverbs and 1,005 songs. He wrote the Song of Songs, the Book of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes.)

Solomon's wisdom is proverbial. The following famous story illustrates his wisdom as a judge. Two women came to his court, each claiming that she was the mother of the same baby. Solomon threatened to split the baby in half. One woman was prepared to accept the decision, but the other begged the King to give the live baby to the other woman. Solomon then knew the second woman was the mother.

Wouldn't it have been smarter to sit down and talk things out instead of going right to mass murder? (Flooding the earth) Does god need anger management, an education, or both?

As a believer in the Christian god, does this explain George Bush's actions? Was he only following god's cruel, unjust, and immoral example?
