Christianity is a way of believing, not a religion! So why do people just think all Christian's are the same, believe exactly the same, and worship the same? There are a few churches out there that believe in Christ, which is where the idea of Christianity came from, but those "christian believers" say they're not Christian. So what's the problem?

Tell me this is not so. http://www.primechoice.com/philosophy/jihadpages/women.htm
I think all the Muslims that have the luxury of being Muslim in the Western world are doing a lot of lying up here and in real life, and most of all, to themselves. How many of you would pack up right now for Saudi or Iran? What rights would you have over there? As a female? From what I witnessed, not too many more than a goat. Hey, how about Pakistan? How's this for Islam ordering the fair treatment of women? http://www.voanews.com/english/archive/2005-12/2005-12-21-voa51.cfm

Why do you all put up with this and know full well your "rights" are not sanctioned by your religion, but where you LIVE. It's that simple. It's easy to get up here and in real life in the Western world and holler Islam is fair to women. You have yet to prove your case to those of us who have been there.

we look down on you? Or is it because we love you and want you to be happy now and for eternity? We come at this with the humility of standing before God and passing His message, not with the arrogance of those who know we are right.

Are you all just grouchy? Why does this seem to make people so hostile?

.
a) Its all a bunch of fictional stories; told by men; written by men, selected by men, and edited by men. Its no more truthful than any other work of mythology.

b) Its accounts of history are fairly accurate, and maybe there's a bit o' truth into some of the religious aspects...but I doubt it. Its mostly accounts of people mixing what they've seen with their culture's religion. Thus, an earthquake isn't an earthquake anymore - its God's wrath.

c) I think much of it is true, and the gaps were filled in with legend. Much of history (and "fact") is written this way. Genesis may be wrong, but that doesn't mean creation didn't happen. Moses didn't live 900 years, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a prophet.

d) Its clearly the word of God, but we may have messed it up a bit w/ translation and selection. Nothing with man's fingerprints on it can be perfect, but I'm sure at one time it was.

e) It is purely the word of God. God's word has not or cannot be tampered with.

"He is just. You're either saved, or you're not. Your actions aren't what you'll be judged by; it's whether you have faith that Jesus died for your sins. Your actions are just a symptom of your faith, not the diagnosis."

So if I have "faith" and can justify my actions according to that faith, I go to heaven?

Wait, that means that Hitler is in heaven, since he justified his actions based on Christianity.

nevermind, I'm not interested in this "heaven" anymore.

We often speak of God, and world happenings, but what about the devil ?

How does he work ?

I know in the bible the devil 'attacked" Jesus, does this happen today to other people...? and how ?

RAmen

All I can say is RAmen

We shall overcome. We shall.

Do you have a dream, as I do, that one day my child will go to public school, and be taught the Theory of Evolution, without the Theory of Intelligent Design being taught.

And that one day, my gay brother in law, if he so chooses to marry another man, that the government will allow him to marry and give him a Marriage Certificate?

I have a dream, yes, I have a dream.

RAmen brothers and sisters?

Can I just get one RAmen?
