I see bumper stickers and sometimes the whole car painted with this quote:
Jesus is God...Read the Bible!
Excuse me but, isn't JC supposed to be the son of god...now he IS god? I sure don't seem to remember reading this in the bible.
It's like nails on a chalkboard!

I'll be the first to admit, I'm very ignorant about this, but the idea here is that I would like to learn, so I apologize if this question is insulting in any way.

Is the British Monarchy's power more ceremonial nowadays? What "real" power does the monarchy have?

...to fall in line with Allah's faithful? I believe that according to some interpretations of the Koran, if we refuse to convert the "faithful" can then kill us without mercy. Are we all ready to die for our non-belief?

I have a question bout the Bible. ITs about the revelation, is reading it sort of bad, i mean i know its good to know becuase u love God and want to know more bout the Bible, but in the Revelation it tells you bout the anti-christ and satan and how they will both be defeated by God and Jesus. I guess this is good to kno but then again, as for us christians, if we know wat mite will happen to satan, dont u think we will end up paying sum price cuz once u kno wat will happen to satan , u will go n spread the word, and in my opionion satan wouldent want that to happen, thus he will make bad things happen to u. I only say this because sutmhin like this happened to me many months ago, bad things started to happen the day after i had read the revelation. And if this is true, shouldent there be a warnin o sumthin? if this is true, maybe its just me who thinks this. i just wanna make sure.

Is there some kind of work out there that you can just do for a day for extra quick cash. I'm talking something that you don't have to set up like babysitting or dog walking. Just, i need cash and I'm willing to work for ir legally. No blood donations either.

If 100 stores have the same desk on display then what do they do with those 100 desks when they don't sell it any more? I don't think they would just throw them out and i don't think they can sell a futon that 300 people have sat on as an "open box" item. Do they ship them to an outlet somewhere?

Why is it, that on Labor Day, a day that was made to honor the working-class citizen, the large majority of people who are not management or higher still have to work? Why do companies commercialize it so much, that the very people the holiday was made to give a break to have to work even harder? It just doesn't make any sense to me.

okay people nowadays are saying it's not wrong for people to be promiscuous. how is that not wrong? Condoms are not 100% safe. People loose their spouses to promiscious people. Basically, these teenager said it's okay to be promiscuous as long as it makes them happy.

I posted a question earlier about where I could get a free NIV bible. What are the biggest differences in the two? I just thought the NIV would be easier for a beginner to read. What are your thoughts?

I was told by a Christian:

We must worship God
But since we are impure, we cannot worship God directly so we should worship Jesus instead
But then later on he says Jesus is God.

Wow! Rewind please
Let’s review, he said we must worship God, but we cannot worship him directly so we should worship Jesus but later on he said Jesus is God.

So what does it mean?
We cannot worship Jesus as well because he is God and God cannot be worshiped directly.
But since we see that people do worship Jesus, concluding (according to Christian views) that Jesus must not be God as he is worshipped directly.

I should not believe in God, not why you think god is not real, why I should believe in God? So far, no atheist has given me a good reason.
