Why do people feel the need to "prove" that there is only one way to believe?

I saw a question from someone who goes by the name of a demon in a movie expressing sympathy toward Satan. Saying we have only heard one side of the story by listening to God. I truly hope no one else is buying into such garbage. The fruitage Satan and his demons produce is hate, and death. They are not your friends who are trying to enlighten you, they are very deliberately trying to kill you by alienating you from your Creator. Satan does not deserve anybody's pity, he and his spirit clan are responsible for a huge amount of the pain and suffering you see in the world today. They are condemned to die and are trying to take us with them. Do not let yourselves be fooled. Revelation 12:12-9 - 2 Corinthians 4: 3 - 4 and 11:14

Okay, some backstory. I'm not Christian, I'm Wiccan- have been for about 6 or 7 years now. That doesn't mean I am no longer interested in Christianity. A previous question I asked on here was about if Jesus's gift was really free-

Someone asked what parts of the Bible I felt the most against, etc. Well, the biggest part for me is the pre-marital sex. In Wicca, sex is not viewed as bad and should be celebrated. I am in a serious relationship with my bf and yes, we do have sex and we also live together. We are committed and monogamous and want to get married. However, financially and due to my needing to finish college, marriage just isn't an option right now (I wish it were). Now, here is where I have the problem- people said that if I were to accept Christ, I would not want to "sin." Most would say that premarital sex was a sin. Here's the dilemma...

And do u think of God as ur servant that has to answer all your prayers the way you want to and at the moment u want to?

Would he be baptist catholic or Lutheran-perhaps he is Jewish also-he coulda been a muslim or Protestant-but you can't tell me he IS agnostic or atheist because God has revealed himself to Lucifer! And because he is both in The old and new testaments as well as the Qaran-could he be baptised as a Christian and then be saved? Oh this I gotta hear!

1.Where do YOU think love abides (in the physical frame), and why?
My answer is that Love dwells in our Hands.
Why? that brings about another question, How do you know if someone loves you?
by they're actions, words, and deeds- thus a outgrowth of love is servanthood
forwhich the obvious symbol is OUR HANDS

2.Is it possible to regain love, after you've given up on it's existance?
My proposed answer is that as long as there is at least one person in this world that loves you,
whether romantically, platonically, or in a "family" way, there is hope that love will once again
be awakened and provoked in you.

3.Of all the truths that are existant, is it love, or wisdom that is the most important?
This one I will not give you my opinion on because I believe it is imparitive everyone comes up with an answer all their own...

Whats your answer to these questions? Please give me your feed back (or email to flores_debilee@yahoo.com)

OK, religioustolerance dot org estimates the percentage of Christians in the world to be about 30%. We'll be generous and say that half of these are "true" Christians that are going to actually go to heaven. Everyone else will be tortured in Hell forever. If given a choice between two realities, which would you prefer to be real:

A. Heaven and Hell are real and you will spend eternity in paradise, while 85% of your fellow human beings suffer unimagineably for all of eternity.

B. There is no life after death and everyone just ceases to exist.

If you choose A. I would like to know if you feel that is selfish of you or not.

i was at a mall yesterday on my way to the restroom. then one of these stupid cell phone kiosk people comes up to me and i automatically say, "No thank you." well he doesn't leave me alone. he's like "this isn't about phones." Again, i'm like "No thank you, plz leave me alone, i'm not interested." then he practically corners me by one of the stores and whispers "what type of phone do you have?" I got so mad i just walked off into one of the stores. then i see him with one of the other annoying salesman saying, "you have to act like a shark, and get your prey in close." to say the least, i never made it to that restroom because it was down a long hall and i didn't want him to follow me like he was. as i was coming out of the one store, he was doing kinda the same to others and even young children. if i had kids and he did that to one of mine, i would have slapped him. he was also making sum what i think unappropriate comments to people, they all were.

I'm looking for a full (new and old test.) parallel bible that includes the Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB), and the NASB (New American Standard), in leather-bound format. I'm not looking for software, nor am I looking for just the NT. If anyone knows of one, please let me know.

I hate being in the car when my husband drives because he gets ticked off by other drivers easily (like when they cut him off, etc.) and yells, swears and makes gestures at them. He also speeds up and tailgates them and I´m afraid that one day the driver he is harassing will suddenly stop and we´ll have a serious accident or that the other driver will be a real psycho with gun and threaten us with it. Is there any way to tame my out-of-control driver husband, other than banning him from driving?

Children: Have you or a sibling been disowned by your parents?
If so why? What's your opinion on it?

For Parents: Would you ever disown your child?
If so why? What would you consider good enough reason?

I was saved at 4 years old and i have always loved the Lord and had a heart for missions. When i was very young i said i wanted to be a missionary. i was aways trying to bring people to Christ. I pretented to preach (even though i'm a girl..lol) and i always played church. I grew up a bit and became selfish and afraid and from then on every time i heard of missionarys or countries that needed missionarys i would turn my back to the idea of ever going over there. I've always just said oh i'll be a missionary here but whenever i said that i just didn't feel right. I knew there was something more i should do.I have no desire for any career, i want to have a family and serve God with a my future husband (when we get married) wherever he calls us. I feel that God has really given me the ability to go serve him whereever he wants me to. Slowly but surely i'm opening up to it. The man who i am intrested in but not serious with yet also has the same vision and passion. Am i cut out for this?

Save the babies!!! Nix healthcare or any publicly sponsored child welfare system. That really makes alot of sense, you know? So, these poor kids grow up unwanted, undernurished, passed off to orphanges, abusive foster parents, and wind up in juvenile hall, then prison...or the graveyard due to violence or suicide. You know what you are "saving"....millions of Charles Mansons....products of the "compassionate conservative" system. Cold, bloodless sociopaths who wouldn't know a human thought if it stabbed them in the heart. This is worth saving?

Come on people, practice what you preach. If you're gonna offer a fight, you must also offer a solution.

"Dr." Carl Baugh, "Dr." Kent Hovind, and the late Ron Wyatt. If these guys are the leading "scientists" that creationists have to prove their theory, no wonder no one takes creationism seriously.
