Someone that is close to me accused me of doing something that I honestly did not do. They confronted me with it today and I told them that I did not do it. I could tell that they did not believe me. I don't know what to do, because I am agonizing over this. I keep telling myself that they are the one with the problem, not me. But, I am really upset by this.

This is obviously another new buzzphrase from the religion industry (coined I think because there is a growing stigma to being religious), but what do the people who say it actually mean? Do they really think that Jesus speaks to them? Do they have conversations with him in their minds?

Christians claim to be christ like but i see more christians on here being closed minded, putting down other religions ect. and i see some people on their soap boxes preaching about jesus coming to save us then i see the the same people at parties being absolutly trashed. Just last week i went to church with my mum and listened to multiple people talk spit about the woman they were sitting next to. if you are the representations of christ then i hope i go to hell. I believe in God and Jesus just not the christian religion

I'm going to go to a club tonight with some friends. This is the third time I've been there for this "club dance" thing. You probably know the type of club - where its really sweaty and hot and women are shaking their asses.

How do I get a good "dance" with one of the hot women at this club? They always push me away. I am going to try somethng new this week and wear a polo and some jeans so I look "rich".

I'm 225 pounds and have glasses, not that muscular, but come on there has to be something for me!

I see a lot of religious folks say things like "if there was no god then Hitler would have got away with it" or "if there was no god then how would there be any reward for being a good person?" or "if there was no god then what would be the purpose of life?".

Well, why do you think life owes us justice or rewards or anything else for that matter? To say that life would simply be unfair without these things, and that therefore a god must exist to assuage our indignation at that fact, is one of the worst possible reasons to believe that a god exists. It's the fallacy of Argument from Adverse Consequences.

I say we should just accept reality - that the unthinking universe neither knows nor cares of our existence - and make the best of it.

What do you think?

I've asked this question because of the other open question about why some white women think black women are jealous when white women date black men. The asker implied some black women may get upset but didn't give reasons why. I'm particularly interested in what you think her question meant.

I am a Muslim who you believe is oppressed. May be poorer muslim women are oppressed. But If The Men treat their women so well then why is their such a high divorce rate. 50% or more. I think the system over here is good for women. I do not think their husbands are so great. How else do u explain the big Divorce number. I specially encourage divorced women to answer this.

There is some evidence that all who are saved are pre-destined by God. I understand that God knows already who will and will not accept Christ as Savior. The question is whether or not we have any altering influence over who believes. The background for this question is that I adopted a five year old boy from India who was Muslim by birth but not with any understanding. I determined that he could choose Christianity or not, but prayed continuously that he would. I asked questions about Islam and tried to present both equally in order to give him a choice. His name is Ramdiguan and I love him dearly. He is now nine years old and baptised into Christ. Was he called or did I somehow influence this. Please, no assertions that I forced my beliefs upon him. I did not. In fact, I probably went too far the other way to make sure I did not create a parot of my own faith. This is a serious question and worries me sometimes.

Tell me this... How does being against ILLEGAL immigration make me a racist? Please note... I am NOT against LEGAL immigration. In fact, I fully support those who legally immigrate to this country. So I really want to know. If you can prove to me that the fact that I oppose the violation of a law makes me a racist, I will take back everything I have ever said about illegal immigration.

Let the show of ignorance begin...
