are churches so out of touch with the culture that no one takes them seriously, making it almost impossible to reach anyone under the age 50?

A question to all the Christians out there: what exactly did Jesus give up, allowing himself to be crucified? He was already in his thirties when he died; in some Bronze Age backwater town he might have expected to live another, what -- fifteen years? Thirty, at the outside? And in exchange, he gets to RULE, in PARADISE, FOREVER?!?! Where's the sacrifice? Where's the loss -- particularly when he comes back to life three days later anyway?

The story of the crucificion only works as a noble sacrifice if this life is the only one we get; yet Jesus is so compliant and allows himself to be crucified PRECISELY because he knows it doesn't really "count" anyway....

Do you think that the world would of been a better place i Christianity was a philosophy and not a religion, and Jesus was like Siddhartha, just a teacher and not a holy man.

Why is it that in the present day, people expect everyone to be void of normal and natural human emotion? Are we supposed to all be humanoids now? Robotic for Big Brother?

We have a new neighbor, and in our apartment complex the wall between our two master bedrooms is thin. I'm a really light sleeper, and she gets up early. The problem is, her alarm goes off, at it's loudest setting every morning at 4:00a.m. I wouldn't mind this, except for the fact that she hits snooze, so we hear the alarm constantly for the next hour!!(EVERY WEEKDAY) We have an infant in our bedroom, and it actually wakes him up as well. I can't stand it anymore. I feel like i have no right to say anything, yet I want to. What would you do?
I have talked to her casually a couple of times, but I really don't know her well, and don't want to cause a problem.

My family and i went to burger king last nite on our way home from a long trip and two teenagers walked in with their own cups and helped theirselves to soda and walked out laughing. The manager saw this and did nothing why? Was the manager afraid to approach them? It's a matter of a few dollares but hey If I have to pay for it they should too.

You find error in Bible. You say that in Bible God told us that he created light before sun and moon. But you should no that scientists
were always wrong. They modified. Scientists believe that the sun revolves around the earth. Then they change their mind. Actually,
light created before sun and moon will be proved in future. we just lack the technology to prove that. So, every contradiction in Bible which is scientific in
nature is just apparent.

Classical Mechanics was faulty. So, they invented General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
It's faulty--so they invented String Theory which still is metaphysics.
The problem is their faulty assumptions. The scientists should study Bible first to construct real scientific theory. And also creat Biblical Mathematics. They were wrong when they believed in Darwin's theory. Now realizing that Biblical Creationist theory is the reality.
You say according to Bible--bat is a bird. Why bat is not a bird?
Modern Genetics will prove it.

A Friend of mine had a Crystal Pendant on a chain that when held over your palm you asked it a yes or no question and it would answer depending on which way it swung.

I can't seem to find tham on internet. Does anyone know what they're called or where I can find one. She said they're popular with Wiccans ~ Thanks

When you post an answer someone else is offended by -- then they go into your Questions/Answers and post and answer that is targeted at you.

I've noticed this on a few occasions. Anyone else getting this?

I have seen a new way of Spelling Christian "Xian".Does this offend you in any way some people use it just for a short way of spelling Christian, others because they do not agree with Jesus being the Christ others just out of disrespect. It seems odd how every one (no matter what they Believe) will push tolerance, then they make up a New from of Intolerance...(Yes I know for some it is just a shorthand but you dont see others changing the way you spell Islam, Jew Or other religions?)...Do you think that this will catch on like the 'Xmas" thing did?

Please Answer Like Respectful Adults thank you.....
