I have seen plenty of examples of this statement and way of thinking on Y!A and I am troubled by it.

Do we not have a defintion for what qualifies as a "fact"?
Are all opinions equally valid, and therefore all equally "fact"?
Does every person of a particular faith have equal ground to claim that what he/she thinks and believes is true?
What has happened to crediblity?

"God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen. "

--Reinhold Niebuhr

Peace and Love

I am considering different religions and think Buddhist is interesting and fits many of my beleifs. I am wondering what practicing this religion involves? Do you go to a temple? Meditate? Go to a group that practices? Or do you mainly do it alone? What do you read ?
Thanks!

I'm sure whomever the guy is who invented the question was intending the question to be used to further the knowledge of ones beliefs. So why do non Christians ask questions then try to prove the person answering wrong? Was there any reason to ask the question in the first place? You either do or don't belive right?

The show is Called CATCH A BEATDOWN!

I think MTV will Take it, it's not like they care about what they air on that damn Channel.

To be honest the Producer of MTV will be my First Guest. Then Ryan Secrest, I hate that Guy.

Who would you like to guess star on my new show, Seriously who would you like to see, "Catch A Beatdown."

Do your personal standards ever show to others around you?

sometimes if you don't have a really pressing important question, you might be a little bored, and so sometimes you might ask a question just for fun. Sometimes just to find something to have a good laugh. Coz brevity, is good for selfhealling.

At least until you've found the inspiration for renewed efforts in posting really good questions.

At least someone gets the extra points for trying - either way.

given that if he was born of immaculate conception, it doesn't matter anyways? Joseph therefore was Jesus' stepfather at best, and none of the blood of David would have flown through his veins, right?

give thumbs down to everyone with a different opinion? Do you really only want to hear what you want to hear? Doesn't that make you seperatists? Can't you respect other views?

One day an atheist was walking through the woods, admiring nature, the tall trees and the warm sun. Then all of a sudden a bear jumped out and started to charge him intending to eat him. At the last second the atheist found himself calling out for God. At that moment everything stopped and God revealed himself. God asked the atheist "Why should i who help you, someone who has seen my majesty in my creations of nature and still will deny me and attempt to get other to do the same, do you now wish to be a follower and be saved?" After thinking for a second the atheist said " I don’t want to be hypocritical and convert now but could you at least make the bear Christian?" At that moment everything returned and the bear dropped to his knees before the atheist. The bear put his paws together and solemnly said "Thank you God for this food I am about to eat!"

As an Atheist, I always see myself drowning among believers. I am friends with many and am not a hater. But I would like to socialize with others I don't have to worry about offending.

Are there any communities in the GA area?

What other social communities are there? i.e on the internet?

If your life has been blessed with joy, faith, and a great spiritual awakening and you want to reach out to others to share your blessings with them, but you just can’t yet because you are still in the healing process, what do you do? If you just can't seem to find the energy to do both, is it selfish or wrong, from time to time, to put all your resources into healing? Is it wrong to not want to be a martyr? Is it okay to take time for yourself?

What do you think?
