If I were to want to change your mind on how you see christianity what would I have to do?
Comments, Restrictions:
1
I notice most people's problems have to deal with the fact that they have had a conflict or have been hurt by a person calling themselves a christian. This is not what Im asking so comments like they are all bigots and such are not answers.

2
No christian should compromise their belief to appease something they know is wrong so comments like accept homosexuals are also not answers because its an impossible request.

I've recently been reading about Islam. My question isf God's name, Allah. The prophet Muhammed said that Allah is His natural name for humans to use in reference to Him. (correct?) Yet, when learning about Moses, a prophet way before Muhammed, God revealed Himself as I AM. ('m not sure of the Hebrew word for I AM). Muslims believe that Moses was a great prophet, yes? Then why don't Muslims still call God by the name He gave Moses? I AM. Instead you call Him Allah, the name Muhammed said it is.

I am trying to understand the history of all the names for God, given by God, according to one's religion. Why don't Muslims refer to God by the name given to Moses so many year prior to Muhammed?

Thank you for your responses!

Factual Information, please!

Don't give me your lame metaphores, (metaphores are as good as the bubble gum on my soles)

I want the exact location of the Biblical Heaven, a place believers MUST know the details of, since you pray everyday to go there.

Wouldn't it be stupid that you possess no factual information whatsoever about your ultimate goal??

My college cafeteria serves "Homo Milk". I don't enjoy the thought or the action of pouring this into my coffee in the morning. I asked them to change it 2 weeks ago, and they didn't. Should I sue? Should I write to the editor of my paper? How should I word myself without attracting a bad reputation?

Christianity teaches an absolute truth. This makes ideas conflicting with it fall into the absolute wrong category.

If you are so convinced those who disagree with you are wrong, and you can't agree on one answer to a question, who is to say you're not all wrong?

Why shouldn't we be as free to believe what we will as you seem to be?

How did the people come to the conclusion that Count Dracula had Fangs? I know that the real Dark Prince Dracula, was a savage man, who killed people and drove a stake threw their heads, and left them on this hill near his castle. So waht made them come up with that fact that he sucked blood and had fangs? I'm really into the vampire world, not as much as I want to, but I was just wondering.

Anyone have any good fundraising tips? I have a charity event in 2 weeks and donations are coming in very slowly. We've got a bake sale this Friday and 2 Texas Hold'Em tournaments, but we want to raise more money. We've asked pretty much everyone we know already. Any suggestions?

Would you be willing to consider that maybe the experience was neural in nature and that if scientists can recreate it in a lab, that perhaps what you experienced wasn't paranormal?

Here is an article for reference.

I always shower the same way. I shampoo my hair first (I usually do it twice), Then wash it out, and then comes the conditioner, I leave it in my hair while I wash my self all over (^_^), then wash out the conditioner. I think it's the fastest way, it can take from 15min. to 45min.

1-America was the first country to invent a nuclear weapon and used it against innocent humans in Japan more than sixty years ago, and in Iraq 4 years ago (tactic neutron bombs were used secretly in Baghdad to end the battle)
2-More than 2000 nuclear test explosions were carried out since 1945 (1040 by America, 700 by Russia, 200 by France, etc ...) NK just started so what is the big deal?
3-North Korea is not war criminal as much as the US and Israel are.
4-North Korea needs nuclear bomb to protect itself from the continuous American threats.
5-If America and the west are truthful why they don’t start by their own selves, when they disarm they can start to ask others to disarm, otherwise they have no right to be angry with other countries that follow their footsteps.
6-Many scholars and politicians think America is the biggest threat to peace and not NK.
When hypocrisy and double standards will disappear and justice will prevail?

When I was 14 and 15 back in the 1970's, we used to hitchike a lot. I was sexually propositioned by the men who gave me rides, probably on a weekly basis. My reaction was always to say "no." I didn't realize until now that I am actually the victim of an unspeakably horrific crime. I thought I had led a normal life. Now that I've realized the trauma I've been through, I'm going to start drinking and taking hard drugs and eventually commit suicide.

Any of you ever hear of a "witch hunt?"
