Do you think it is right to put any boundaries on free expression in order to prohibit insulting and abusive speech? should people get punished for making such speech? why or why not?

He's suppose to come back as an theif, so people might know he's return but I don't think he'll easily be recognized. Kind of like your average joe.

Probably won't be anything special about him that would stand out. I've heard the tribulation being two different ways. The first and what most seem to believe is we just disappear, the second one being with the world going crazy and we have to go to him. I prefer the second way myself because it would be nice to feel him calling to me and trusting him enough to go through anything to get to him.

But I picture him being simple, quite but with a feeling of greatness in his presence.

How do you picture him?

A user was asking about doing wrong in order to make things right, and whether she should or not. This person answered with the above statement: "just allow God to make things right for you...dont put it in your own hands."

I am curious, is this the typical religious mentality? Do you promote not thinking for ones self that much? A litteral translation of what this person said is: Do not think for yourself and make your own decisions because you are incapable, whereas god can make everything ok.

Talk about promoting self hate.

Why do you people act this way? Is it so horrible to actually be accountable for your own actions? Is it right that you have this giant loophole where you can just ask for your gods forgiveness and all is forgiven? Don't you think that is a bit cheap? An easy way out of everything?

I'm sorry for not agreeing with you, but I don't think it's right to teach people not to think for themselves. It's not just this user, I have seen many people say this.

is there any documented cases of a Hindu seeing Allah, and converting to Islam, or a Christian seeing Vishnu, and converting to Hinduism, or vice versa? has anyone of one faith ever come back from a near death experience and said 'hey, this other religion has it right, and we're practicing the wrong faith?'

Has this happened to you?
I was in a huge line today at the post office and this man was ahead of me about 2 people and behind the first person in line about 8 people back..so we all had a while to wait. He was stomping his feet and sighing hard and making quite a scene, like whatever he had in his hand was more important than what anyone else was mailing. I watched as he stomped his feet one last time, and walked around everyone, went up to the counter in front of everyone who was waiting and put his stupid envelope on the counter and asked for his letter to be stamped and sent out..I couldn't believe it, what a jerk!So,not being able to keep my mouth shut, I yelled to him as he passed by me with a stupid smirk on his face " Are you happy now?" and I think I surprised him because he didn't think anyone would confront him, but he just answered with a dumb look on his face..well-dressed, well-groomed businessman type, not too important or he would have had a secretary mail his letters!

It is said he'll charm the world. He'll claim to be god right?

I picture him being like a used car salesman talking a bunch of crap that only the ignorant people will believe. And smiling constantly like his lips drawed up from the smell of his own sh*t.

People are dumb enough to run to something like that, he'd appeal to alot of people.

How do you picture him?

That we stop debating who is right or wrong. What if the answer is simpler than that. What if we started thinking about our dignity. And for the sake of dignity, for one minute, we forgot about the gods and instead decided to choose either love or hate. What would you choose?
