I was just thinking last night about something and now I'm curious to tell/ask you all this. Supposedly the Bible was written thousands of years ago. The Bible says that in the End Times there will be fighting in the Middle East. Well, today there is definite fighting in the Middle East. So, if the Bible isn't real (according to you all) then how did those men who wrote the Bible thousands of years ago know there would be fighting in the Middle East? How did they know the Middle East wouldn't be peaceful like other places? How did they know the Middle East wouldn't be wiped out by a flood or volcano or something? Here's what I'm thinking: Nobody would be able to prophesize that without the help of an all-knowing God.

What would modern day Christianity be like, if there had been a "Jess" vs. "Jesus"?

For instance, christians believe Jesus will return when we have all heard the word.... So why are true christians not wandering the earth spreading their faith. Why do they sit at home when there are millions who have never read a bible?

just curious

I am christian and have been believer for 21 years and I know without a doubt that I have a soul and becuase of that I also know there is a loving God who has given me the choice to be with him when I die in heaven or in hell if I choose not to believe in Him.Now I would like get some answers to what an athesist believes happens to them when they die.Seems sad to think that some people would devalue themselves by believing they do not posses a soul.

What are some attainable steps we can take as citizens to make America safer? I'm not asking for your political point of view, but for serious things people can do or get involved in.

is it worth it to you to work harder on yourself, to constantly improve yourself, and THEN look back and see if it was worth it? or has "reality" caused u to stop trying/caring?

The Bible may say that it is a sin, but so is adultery. Why can't we nake that illegal? Lying, passing jusgement, insulting, cussing, etc are all sins. Why aren't they illegal? WE HAVE FREEDOM OF RELIGION! WHY IS SOMETHING THAT CHRISTIANS SEE AS SINFUL ILLEGAL? Who defined marriage? Mankind did, which means it is not set in stone. WHAT ABOUT THE FACT THAT BLACKS WERE "MEANT" TO BE USED AS SLAVES? WE PROVED THEM WRONG! The Bible allows slavery, so lets do it.

MICHAEL H. HART,
when he ranked him 1st in the list wrote :

"My choice of Muhammad to lead the list of the world's most influential persons may surprise some readers and may be questioned by others, but he was the only man in history who was supremely successful on both the religious and secular levels.“

The Bible says that in the End Satan and all Sinners will be cast into Hell. Why doesn't God send Satan to Hell now? Then he won't be able to Tempt people to Sin at all.

Rainbow Sheep? Coffee with Milk? Ok, so the sheep being traded in 'ba ba black sheep' could be taken as something to do with the slaves trades. But we can't seem to say anything anymore without it being vetted. And perhaps this is just me, but I have never met a black person who is offended by being called black. Same with white people. If I said 'coloured' perhaps they would be, I don't know. I myself would probably be more offended if someone shouted 'whitey.' And what really annoys me is the English/British thing. On forms it normally say 'White, British.' But I'm English first, British second. Welsh people get to be called Welsh, Scottish people are Scottish. But althought we are all British it seems only to be the English that are reffered to as British. My Grandad has gone so far as to cross out 'British' on offcial forms and replace it with 'English.' What does everyone else think?

In the early hours of this morning I was in tremendous pain in my abdomen. I was so sick. My friend put his hand on my head. With my eyes closed I saw bright blue particles enter my body on my right side. I felt tingly and that sensation spread throughout my body. Little by little my pain began to subside and I was able to sleep. I told my friend about this and he said he had been wanting to help me in my pain and had felt a surge go down his arm while his hand was on my head. I didn't know at the time whether to be afraid of this experience but was less afraid when my pain subsided. Do you think my friend helped me with the aide of some force in blue? I do and I'm grateful.
