Some of you say that Pagans, witches and wiccans are satanic, but how can that be when we worship nature which in your eyes your god had created?

Why does the Book of Mormon state that Jesus was born in Jerusalem (Alma 7:10) when history and the Bible state that he was born outside of Jerusalem, in Bethlehem?

What would be the most interesting to pair with it? (yes, atheism comes first to mind, but i would like other ideas as well please) and please state why you think it would be so.

I was just answering a question about how people came to faith, and the athiests were mad because the questioner excluded them. So here you are Athiests: How did you come to be one?

It's cheap, halloween costume material, like the "scream" outfit you see all over. I don't want to spend any money on something new but want to use it to be a corpse bride this year.

Someone just posted this comment on a question:

is that something jesus would say to athiests?
"as for the athiests in the peanut gallery...shut up, no one wants to hear it."
i dont recall him ever acting like that. arent you supposed to be christ-like?

I'm not exactly sure what Jesus would say to Atheists other than a speculation that He would probably walk on water or turn water into whine to prove He is God.

Now as for the idea that Jesus never said anything against anyone take a look at what He said to the pharisees.

"You snakes! You brood of vipers!" (Mathew 23:33)

Jesus definitely used some harsh words when He felt it was necessary to break the hard hearts of the prideful.

Once a missionary on his way to run some errand hired a rickshaw. The rickshaw-puller happened to be a Muslim. The christian preacher began to preach the Gospel to the R.P. The rickshaw puller got annoyed and asked the preacher "How many sons did God have?" The missionary answered "One". At this the rickshaw puller got more annoyed and said "I am a thirty year old poor rickshaw puller, I have twelve children. If your God is really as great as you claim him to be, then how come he has only one son?"

The point of this question is not to incite conflict or misunderstanding of any kind but rather to open a serious discusion about how Islam and the West may view humor differently and how this difference in perspective may be contributing to the friction between the two. Please be respectful in your answers. See also

Have the guys in your life had a positive role or negative role. Has that changed or confirmed how you view God(s), your own religion, or other religions?

That a tree fell on but, it didn't damage the statue at all but, there were two branches that broke off and formed the shaped of the cross over one shoulder? It was a really neat story. It just happened with this latest snow storm back East.

I have always been bad at comebacks. I can never think on the spot. I always stew and think of good responces hours after the fact. Can you think of something to say back to this.

You look like your Italian!!

I know it doesnt seem like an insult. My boyfriend is not the same as me, heritage wise and when I am introduced to girls from his culture, they always say this to me. I do not know how to respond. I know they do not mean it in a nice way from their tone of voice. If I say "No, I don't", it sounds like I do not think its good to be Italian. If I say "thank you", it seems I am trying to be something I am not. How can I respond?

Ok, while the haters have been distracted by Yahoo! Doing its job here is a real question that I have wanted to ask but haven’t because of the haters.

For the gay people: what is your opinion of the Transgender people in our community? I have posted in my answers a few times that my wife is a Female to Male transgender and will someday be my husband, we both often feel persecuted by members of the GLBT community, which is the one place that we should be safe. I would really like honest opinions; I would love to know what thoughts are behind all the stares or smiles that we get at GLBT events.

A friend and I had this debate today. We had totally different opinions on this. I told him we should let Yahoo answers decide because it is such an accurate source. So, state your opinion in percentage form and give your State/region. And, if you want to volunteer whether you speak from EXPERIENCE so be it.
