For me, it was forgiving my father for being an alcoholic, and for being drunk the last time I saw him. After he died, I only felt remorse for not making peace with him when I had the chance. I feel ashamed to this day for holding a grudge against him.

by nearly every religious group that ever existed?

Because there have been so many, I am posting this link:

It's not feasible to list all of them here.

If "prophecy" is so incoherent it can be so widely misinterpreted, how can you consider it prophecy?

I'm too honest with people and sometimes it brings me trouble.
I may get rejected by a girl just cuz I said how much I really like her, or I want to help somebody and turn into a "slave" of that person.

Why? Because their anti-Jewish bigotry prevents them from admitting even the most obvious historical facts .

In short they are in denial even about the obvious historical facts if those facts are contrary to their Muslim beliefs .
Is it any wonder they don't want women becoming educated? They may just find out the truth, and we certainly can't allow that can we?

Remember Arafat denying that the Holocost ever happened? What an ignoramous.

I saw a sign that said " OPEN HOUSE DRINKS AND SNACKS "

So I got my husband Argus, Friend Donna Jeane, Shirley, Anna, Wilbur smith, Aggy and her 5 children, steve, Hank and his wife and kids and we went down to get free snacks and drinks at this open house. It was in a rich neighborhood.

Well, We went in and grabbed plates and starting eating all the great snacks and drank all the Hi C Lemonade and everyone was staring at us there. WHY IS THERE FREE SNACKS AND DRINKS IF WE CANT HAVE THEM?

Argus had to leave and 5 minutes later the Realtor kicked me and all my friends and their children out and when I said no that I wont leave till we eat more, the lady realtor grabbed my hair and pulled me out and called me a piece of crap horse lady.
She then startd to spit all over my face and kicking me. One of the men there unzipped his pants and peed all over me and other people just laughing. The cops even stood in the crows and did nothing. They just watched and laughed

Is this based on the assumption that gays spend all their time having sex and skipping down sidewalks blowing kisses?

Question for homosexuals- How does being gay affect your 'lifestyle' a lot, or not much at all?

I grew up in a very small, country town, in a Christian family. Until I was an adult, I never knew that there were such things as Atheists and non-believers. When I started getting onto this site, I was shocked to see that there were so many Atheists and non-believers. It is extremely hard for me to comprehend why someone would choose to be either, as I did not grow up around this lifestyle. Anyways, in my shock over the number of Atheists and non-believers on here, I called my father. He has studied the Bible for over 15 years and I personally believe that he has a very good grasp on the meaning of different scripture and any other aspect of the Christian religion. When I told him that I was amazed that this site seemed to be overrun with Atheists and non-believers and seemed to out number Christians, he said it just seems that way and that in actuality 90% of the US were Christians . Now, I did not ask him where he got that information, cause I am sure that it was in one of the many Christian magazines or study guides that he reads. This made me really want to see exactly how many Christians there were on here. If you are a Christian please let me know.

I have a question for you. I don't mean to be disrespectful. But I do want to understand where your logic is on this issue.

I've heard many times that people don't believe that God answers prayers because he did not answer prayer for you.

My question is this: would you give someone something when they only come to you when they want something. Don't you get tired of getting asked for things and not having that person want to be around you? When you didn't get an answer to prayer, how was your relationship with God at that point? Could it be that he was treated as nothing more than a granter of your wishes instead of treating him with the respect that was due him?

Yes, God is a very loving God, but you have to know him to hear his voice.

OK - I am curious to know why people that don't believe in God spend time thinking of questions and asking questions that are about God. Is it that your really curious about it, or you just want to see the answers you can get?

I am not trying to get anyone upset, so please don't take it that way - I just want honest answers. If you are curious - there is nothing wrong with that. And if you just want to get people all upset, I guess that is your choice as well.

Just curious what people did with the time they now spend on Yahoo Answers. Personally, I'd say most of the time I now spend on Answers was probably spent watching TV before. Is Answers a better way to occupy time than TV?

HINT: They are 2 stones with Hebrew writing on them.

(Exodus 28:30)
The Urim & the Thummin were ordained tools used by God's people for "Divination" in the Bible...(similiar to what the soothsayers of that day used)

They were the 'Lots' that were cast to 'divine' an answer from God. (like runes pendulums or the tarot) (Num 27:21 & Pro 16:33)

Questions: So, in your opinion is divination wrong? Was it of God or of something evil?

Dont you love that phrase "spritual warfare". Conversations like "brother, im having some serious spirtual warfare right now, at work and at home, pray for me or cast out demons".

You know, it really helps to spirtualize everything, that way you are sure not to understand whats really going on.
