Down here in the south we are just so friendly and I've not been up north and there is that stigma of them being rude and I just want to know if it's true.

Why the people of the world does not agree to have international conferences over "Finding the true religion"?

In my opinion these religious battles can be ended in peace, if the world agrees to arrange peaceful discussions over Religion.
Why is everyone in the world puzzled about his/her religion, why are humans misled.
Science and technology is developing day by day, but no one is paying attention about the religion and yet they are killing other innocent human beings in the name of Religion.

Did America save the civilisation in 2nd world war?

As a UK citizen I as say yes.

Even though they came in late and let us fight against the Nazis and Japan more or less alone (wiith smaller nations) for a year (before Germany attacked Russia). And even though the US did make a profit out of us through loans as London was firebombed daily.

Still I think if it were not for the US we would eventually have been consumed either by the totallitairan forces of Nazism or Communism.

Therefore I conclude that America saved civilization and thats the end of it and our debt is eternal. It is easy to forget that from the ease of our democratic countries.

Thank you!

Turning to God helped me become a new person, except I still do things I used to. Any suggestions?

I was a wreck before coming to know Christ. And since that fateful day I have grown up and become a nicer overall person, except I still, after 2 years, am struggling with alcohol, lust, language, and other things. I just want to become the man I know I can be, but trying doesn't seem to get the job done. Any help?

would you give a homeless person money if you knew he'd only use it to buy drugs or alcohol?

If you did give him money, would that be morally wrong?

Asking respectfully -- Why is it that some Christians insist that even atheists 'believe' in God (continued)

Is it so foreign a thought to a Christian to think that perhaps someone has neither an urge to believe in a divine being nor a belief in one?

I do not believe in a god of any kind, by any name. I have no 'inner prompting' that I should be seeking one. I do not hate God, Yahweh or otherwise, because to hate a god I would have to acknowledge one exists. I am not afraid of Hell nor hopeful for Heaven because I don't believe these places exist. I don't believe it on the surface, and I don't believe it 'deep down'. To believe one thing on the surface but another 'deep down' would be hypocracy.

I live as moral a life as I can because we evolved to be social creatures and altruism is a pro-adaptive trait in social creatures. I do not need a divine being to convince me of the advantages of being moral.

Some Christians are content to accept that I believe what I believe. But honestly, what's up with the other Christians who need to make me 'believe' in their eyes?

When Jesus tells us we will be taken care of, because even the birds are fed and clothed, should we believe it

Or is it under the implied condition that it depends on the charity of others (that God uses people to fulfill His plans, but sometimes the people let God down and then God is unable to fulfill his plans).

How can an innocent little Baptized baby die of starvation, because of the noncharity of men? God knows ever hair on our heads, wouldn't He be able to foresee that man would fail and let the baby starve? If not, then how can God give us this blanket statement, that we will always be fed and clothed, and expect us to trust Him?
