Faith and fact can no longer coexist faith is the belief in something regardless of fact and fact is the truth proven by evidence. So do you have a faith that can't be changed by anything despite how ridicules you sound or do you believe in what can be proven by facts and evidence and so allowing your opinion to change as more new facts are discovered. I know which side I'm on and it's the side of truth and science the side of fact.

I don't want to be the neighbor who ruins their life by making them get rid of their dog or anything. And I'm not one who would normally complain, especially since I don't want the neighbors to resent me and start complaining about any little noise I make. And since their dog barks only while they're away, maybe they don't even know about it. I'm not sure how to handle the situation. Any suggestions?

They were the 'Lots' that were cast to divine an answer from God. So, in your opinion is divination wrong? Was it of God or of something evil?

I SEE THE LIGHTS ARE TURNING
AND I LOOK OUTSIDE THE STARS ARE BURNING
THROUGH THIS CHANGING TIME
IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYTHING WE WANT
IT’S FINE SALVATION WAS JUST A PASSING THOUGHT.

DON’T WAIT ACT NOW
THIS AMAZING OFFER WON’T LAST LONG
IT’S ONLY A CHANCE TO PAVE THE PATH WE’RE ON
I KNOW THERE ARE MORE EXCITING THINGS TO TALK ABOUT
AND IN TIME WE’LL SORT IT OUT

Refrain: AND THOUGH THEY SAY IT’S POSSIBLE TO ME
I DON’T SEE HOW IT’S PROBABLE
I SEE THE COURSE WE’RE ON
SPINNING FARTHER FROM WHAT I KNOW
I’LL HOLD ON
TELL ME THAT YOU WON’T LET GO
TELL ME THAT YOU WON’T LET GO

AND TRUTH IS SUCH A FUNNY THING
WITH ALL THESE PEOPLE
KEEP ON TELLING ME
THEY KNOW WHAT’S BEST
AND WHAT TO BE FRIGHTENED OF
AND ALL THE REST ARE WRONG
THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT US

I’M NOT ALRIGHT

THIS COULD BE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
COMBINE OUR LOVE INTO SOMETHING WONDERFUL
BUT TIMES ARE TOUGH I KNOW
AND THE PULL OF WHAT WE CAN’T GIVE UP TAKES HOLD

I want to know how to act very confident - like the world is wrapped around my fingers... kind to others, but very in touch w/ myself. I want a good self esteem, a good body image. I want to act refined, be refined, be elegant, well mannered - a woman that will stand out in a crowd. A girl that a smart guy would gravitate towards. Please give me practical tips, on being this woman.

Even Jesus failed. When he failed to fight back, he crucified himself. To save us, he died. In order for people to live, they must kill. In order for people to live they must die. In order to live, you must suffer by somebody else's hands or live knowing that you are hurting somebody else. Am I wrong? Am I right? Am I both? Am I neither?

From what I have been able to gather from this site, the majority of you seem to have been raised with a religion initially. I am one of what must be a smaller percent that was born and raised a non believer. So I suppose I am lucky that my parents are no different, likewise most of our family, and I never had to deal with telling my family I no longer believed.

I was just wondering how did the rest of you deal with that, "coming out" about it, so to speak, if your family is religious?

I want to thank you for your answeres. But I had stated my question to where most of yous thought I had been praying for my cat for two weeks. What I meant Is that I had been praying about a very serious problem for two weeks and on top of that I found out from the vet. my beloved cat of 14yrs may be dying of cancer. My prayers were and still are over what has happened two weeks ago and now of course I will pray for my cat as well. I am sorry I have been so hurt over what someone has done to me that I wasn't thinking clearly in writing my question. I am not so norrow minded to not understand that my lovely pet is beyond death as his brother died just last June at 14yrs old. Thank you,and am sorry for any misunderstandings.

I think color says a lot, and I used to have a friend who said she always saw my aura as being brown. I love the color brown. It brings out the blue in my eyes, and my fiance has beautiful brown eyes, but she said brown is associated with despair. Does anyone know where I can find the meaning of the color brown? And no cracks about feces please. Be real. Thank You

I have known God for as long as I can remember. I have been angry and bitter at Him but never have I doubted He was real. I have spoken and heard from Him my whole life. When I was a child I would often speak to Him and even sing to Him. I do the same today. My faith IS my life. It is the table on which my life rests. How do you feel?
Peace Be With You,
Debra

I went to one of those "mega-churches" for many years. Everyone always babbled about having a "relationship" with God. I gave it a go.

Heres what 'a relationship with God', in reality, amounts to.

If you are insane (manic, psychtz, etc..), you claim to actually hear his voice.

If you are not mentally ill, then its always the 'tea-leaf' sequence. Example, the thunderstorm came 5 minutes after you were thinking about whether God wants you to dump you girlfriend...so you did.

Under the tea-leaf sequence, you feel perfectly justified in claiming that God is talking to you and thus tell people you have a neat relationship.

So it amounts to mental illness or selective interpretation of normal coincidence.

What I say is true...and you know it on some level...conscious hopefully...but sunconscious otherwise. Why did God let you read this anyway?

I know there's probably paperwork to fill out and money to pay, but is it really that difficult to become a US citizen legally? Why are so many people coming here illegally, why don't they just do what needs to be done and do it right?

we all should know by now unless your just starting 9Th grade that there is no mention of this in the Constitution at all or the bill of rights. it comes from a letter Jefferson wrote to a friend and this is what it said." Believing with you that religion is a matter which lies solely between Man & his God, that he owes account to none other for his faith or his worship, that the legitimate powers of government reach actions only, & not opinions, I contemplate with sovereign reverence that act of the whole American people which declared that their legislature should "make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof," thus building a wall of separation between Church & State."

as u can see here is isn't worried that church is going to take over. but what is happening today the fact that the supreme court and radical atheist groups are using the government to get rid of god off of all government things.

I have noticed that a lot of answers on here say “Jesus is the only way to heaven”, “There is only one way to heaven” or something else of that nature. From this, I am getting that Heaven is one place. That it is a location, like Texas or Las Vegas. A lot of people like Texas or Las Vegas and enjoy being there because of what those places have. There are also a lot of people who neither like Texas nor Las Vegas for the same reason. With that being said, what if someone died and went to heaven, but did not like it there because of the lack of things that make him or her happy?
