To the Romans, all religions were equally true.
To the philosophers, all religions were equally false.
To the politicians, all religions were equally useful.

Does this sound familiar? Our politicians keep pulling God and religion into politics. President George W. Bush’s mangling of the wall separating state and church is well documented. In 1954, when President Eisenhower signed the bill adding “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance (and ironically removing “indivisible”), his words explicitly showed that the idea was to link religiosity and patriotism. In 1988 President Reagan established the National Day of Prayer. On March 27, 2003, House Resolution 153 passed by an overwhelming vote. It urges the President to issue a proclamation “designating a day for humility, prayer, and fasting for all people of the United States.” We are “to seek guidance from God to achieve a greater understanding of our own failings,” and “to gain resolve in meeting the challenges that confront our nation.” The Senate unanimously passed a similar bill. These government actions violate the spirit, if not the letter, of the First Amendment. I say that we are becoming a de facto theocracy.

I believe that it is a real place called hell, the people who do not accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior and who deny the truth

is that the explanation is not falsifiable:

and thus not even testable. There is no way to create an experiment to show that it's wrong. For every possible set of a test and a result, we could simply say, "God did it." Why do the Earth and universe appear to be so old? God did it. Why does nature seem so balanced? God did it. Once again, why does anything happen? If we say that God did it, there is no reason or opportunity to learn how the world really works. If we had stayed with God as the cause of all events, our modern culture would have been impossible. We would have no real science, engineering, or medicine. We would still be living in the Dark Ages.

Discuss.

I have been dipping for 14 years and want to stop. I have prayed for God to take away the cravings but they have not stopped. I hear the stories of how God removes the addiction from alcoholics, smokers, drug attics, etc... Does anyone have a real life story of God working wonders to remove an addiction?

Everyone knows Matt 7:1 Judge not but do you know what that section of scripture is really about?
Taking this scripture in proper context, it is talking about not judging while being guilty yourself. Don’t be a hypocrite.

Exodus 21 makes it clear that we ARE to judge! 23 But if there is serious injury, you are to take life for life, 24 eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, 25 burn for burn, wound for wound, bruise for bruise.
Leviticus 24: " 'If anyone takes (steals) the life of a human being, he must be put to death.

My friend was like "Girl, you're such a lesbian" And I was like Umm ok, what the hell is that. So I searched it on the internet and it came up with a bunch of porn sites.

So is lesbian some sort of japanese cartoon porn or something that turned into an insult word? Why would my friend call me a type of porn? Does she think I'm a slut?

I am 15 and I told her that she needs to lay off the booze because I need her guidance. She told me to go tell my dad to put the weed away and tell him to guide me instead. So I went to my dad and he just told me that I was a beautiful girl and that he had a job for me to do down the street to earn extra money. ( They need money for the booze and my dad's special tobacco) So tonight I am supposed to put on my prettiest dress and go downtown. My dad said do whatever the men tell me to do and I will make a lot of money. He even said that he would let me keep some! I have never heard of this kind of job. Can anyone explain it to me further. Can anyone tell me how to make a good first impression? This is my first job and I want my boss to like me and I want my parents to be proud.

I've always had it in my head that one day, probably in our lifetimes, satan will send his minions in the form of the living dead and we will all perish.

Its pronounced Mur-Si-Deez, not Mur-Say-Deez, as all Americans say it. Not only is it incorrect, its really annoying on the ears, the way they seem to pretentiously stress the 'Say'. So What explains their inability to pronounce simple words?
