Judaism came after a person name.
christianity came after the word "christ"
Buddhism came after the word "buddha"

but how about Islam?

I like to receive on the tongue because then I feel like a baby bird.

Would rather be part of christianity or try to think of a better excuse to live?

would be a really fun place if it were full of "heathen" non-believers that did stuff without caring what the bible said about it. Probably full with lots of cool people that know how to have a good time instead of those who care about what the bible says. I don't really see how it could be as bad as christians make it out to be, people tend to exaggerate about these sort of things.

Anyone agree? How could it not be one helluva party?

It seems there are few left who care enough to make an effort. With all the "check grammar and spelling" tools on our PCs, the illiteracy I see just blows my mind! It is so sad.

I had to ask this one to the Christians who support the belief that angels followed Lucifer who was also an angel.

1. Do you think Lucifer has freedom of choice, when God created him to suggest evil to humans?

2. Dont you think the reason God favors humans above all His creations is their ability to chose both good and evil with their free will?

3. In the event that you answer no to 1 and yes to 2 dont you think its wrong to portray some angels as having chosen to go with Satan?

4. Last but not least, dont you think God finds it blasphemous for you to think his angels would make such a mistake?

People on here keep saying evolution is 'only' a theory. This makes me think they probably don't realize that theories are the most powerful tools that science has.

Facts and laws are useful - but they fall under theories as a whole. The theory of gravity (note: theory) contains Newton's laws, relativity, orbital mechanics, and you falling of your roof. Electromagnetic theory contains Kirchoff's laws, Maxwell's laws, and the fact that your car/computer/lights work. Evolutionary theory contains the facts that we CAN observe evolution happening (see bacteria and the flu virus), the fossil record, the human genome, we can see natural selection at work, etc.

Theories are the most important tool of science - theories are never elevated to facts because they are already more important then facts and laws. Evolution is one of the best supported theories in science - we have more evidence for it than we do for eletromagetics (but your computer still works!).

I am ashamed to say that I committed adultery as a Christian. Don't start judging me please. I have one question for you.
I fell in love with the man that I committed adultery with for 3 years. I moved in with him 2 of these years. My husband never demanded a divorce. He did file for one. Then I filed. We went to court once and that is all. He still has the final papers to sign. He won't tell me if he wants the divorce or not. He moved to another state with my daughter who is ll. I followed to be near her. To share custody. I gave up my love for the other man. But he still calls and writes emails to me. We still love each other. However, if my husband will not sign the divorce papers final draft, does that mean I shouldn't get a divorce? Will God hold it against me if I want the divorce and not my husband--even though I am the one who committed adultery.???? Should I stay to save face and please God?

I mean that is beyond anything this life could produce! burning in hell for ETERNITY!! that means neverending pain and suffering!!!...why are you not trying to save me christians..if you really believe shouldn't you be trying desperately to save me, even putting a gun to my head to make me confess my love for jesus if necessary. I mean that is beyond anything in this life: If you could save one person from suffering forever that would be worth the lines of millions. So which one is it?

1. you are too selfish to care.
2. you have your doubts about god.
3. you can't grasp the concept of eternity

I just want to know why I am not being 'helped' if they really believe that...Why are they not throwing all their evidence for him at me and forcing me to comprehend it at gun point?? About 90% of America is christian? Are there really that many evil, selfish people...or do they really believe that bolognie?

Ok, I am not very good speaking in front of people and tomorrow I have to speak in front of a couple hundred. It is only going to be for about three to five minutes but i am so nervous. I don't exactly know what I am even going to say yet. Is there anything I can do to help me be able to speak without staring at my paper the whole time because I don't want to look at the other people?

If god is suppose to be good why does he make everyone on earth suffer. If god was good he wouldn't let anyone here on earth get sick or suffer with any medical problems. He must get his rock or rocks off seeing humans and animals suffer. I (god) suffered so I will make everyone on earth suffer 1000 times more than I did. Thats sick and cruel.

I dreamed that I was talking to my mom, and all of a sudden, instead of mom, it was Jesus. So I kneeled before him and admired him so much. And then he turned back into my mom again! Mom was asking me why was I admiring her so much, and I said I was trying to worship Jesus. They kept switching back and forth, from mom to Jesus, and from Jesus to mom.

strange, huh?
