Picture this: You believe that someone is walking towards a cliff. You aren't sure if there actually is a cliff, you only believe that it is one ahead. You can't prove that there is a cliff, short of running ahead and screaming your descent down. Would you want to warn the other person even though you had no proof?

Now, for a minute, discard any notions that Christianity is stupid or wrong. I know that you may think that Christians are uneducated, ecetera. I must admit that Christianity could very well not be real and we can't prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt, either.

But we Christians do believe that heaven and hell are real. It is not just a game or a fairy tale to us. How could we sit by, in good concience, and say nothing when if we are right, people will be punished with eternal damnation?

If you have a reason why Christians (and no one else) should quit speaking openly about their beliefs, I'd like to hear it.

I guess this questions is mainly for people who claim 'spiritual' experiences etc. Whats the difference between Imagination, and what you call spiritual sightings etc.
Do spiritual people claim to also have imaginations?
How do you tell the difference?
You get the idea I hope.
answer away.... :)

I was told by a coworker that a rainbow colored lei was an indication that someone is gay. My little niece got one from a church group and she put it in my car around the rearview mirror. But when I heard the gay comment I took it down so I wouldn't display the wrong message.

i've always been afraid of being alone (day or night), i feel as if there's people watching me. the worst incident happened when i was around 6-8th grade, i would hide inside my blanket during summer when i'm alone in my room because i was scared and afraid. i had to wait till sunrise to be able to have peace in mind and sleep. can anyone tell me what is wrong with me? depend on where i am, level of uncomfortable varies in different places. serious answers only, thanks.
even when i'm with people, i still sometimes sense the existence of the others but not as afraid. am i crazy?

The 20th century saw alot of progress in the areas of women's rights and human rights. Now remarkable women all over the civilized world are allowed to participate in important decision making instead of being regarded as house slaves and voiceless submissive creatures. Do you think Islam will ever recognize that some women are smarter stronger and more capable of doing things that were not long ago considered to be for men only?

Because in the end what does it matter what you do with your life, or who it's with, or even where you end up, it all ends the same.

For all which God creates does God's will. A.k.a. Man's mind.

Were all going to heaven, don't you get it? So stop selling your christian catholic crap. God is God!!! How can some one oppose God? How can the devil Opppose God, He can't. God is infinate love and forgivness. There is NO hell, that is only a scare tactic to controll the believers. So lay off the non believers and live your own life, isn't that why were here, to live and learn???
