What is your understanding of blind faith? As a Catholic, should one have blind faith? If so, how do you help someone who has lost it? For example; if I belive that Moses did actually build an arc and saved his family and others from the flood but question if God told him to do so, is this not having blind faith?

A friend of mine is planning to get married next December and instead of table numbers she wants to use names of things associated with Christmas/winter. Sofar the only things we've come up with are hot cocoa, spiced cider, snowflakes, stockings, Christmas tree, etc. Does anyone have any other ideas they would like to share?

Acts 4:12
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

the Devil, Physics and stuff like that
When I was a Kid I was sleeping then I felt something pulling my hand and I looked at it and it was something covered in darkness..It seem like a old lady but I could not make it out it kept pulling my hand and then I started screaming and my mom came put the light on and it went away..I could swear that it wasn't a dream... to me.I know this is stupid and makes no sense
But there is a evil being
have you ever heard the saying when there is Evil there is Good

I want to move out of northern minnesota, but am having trouble deciding where to move. I want MILD winters, but also want somewhat cooler summers. I hate humidity, so the south is out. I love sun, warm and dry summers, bug-free back yards, and nice people. I was thinking Idaho or Southern Montana. I travel for work, so the local economy is not a factor. I don't have kids at home, so the schools aren't a factor, either. I love rural areas; a major city won't work. However, being an hour or so from a large city is nice, but not a necessity. What are your opinions on where I should move?

Why should a non-believer burn in Hell for not trusting the Christians and the Bible? The world is full of lies. To live without doubt is morbidly naive.

Bonfire night is on Sunday this year.
Last year the small bonfire we had on a grassed area near my house was still smouldering the next day.So i decided to get rid of some old newspapers.2 fire-engines came up the main road with the blues+2's on.I thought 'wonder where theyre going?'Next,they were putting out my tiny fire+the police came to tell me i was damaging public property.Legal only on the 5th.Most fires will be on 4th.Will this be legal?

I read a question from a poster that asked "Would you still worship Jesus if he were black?"

But, I believe that if we are walking as we are to as Christians, people should see Jesus in us.

So that would mean Jesus is black or white or brown or whatever, since we are made in his image, He becomes what we show the world.

What do you think.

I'm baptised United Methodist but recently I've been finding that I don't get anything except boredom from a UMC service and that I find I feel more spiritually moved by a Catholic mass. The thing is, is that I was told by one person I couldn't recieve Holy Communion because I was Methodist but another person said my baptism was honoured so I COULD receive Communiun. BASICALLY, I feel really uncomfortable about all of the rules surrounding this whole Eucharist thing and I need someone to explain it in layman's terms before I tread on someone's toes unknowingly.

you act like non belivers say to themselves "screw god, I want to be tortured forever" People simply live their lives, and since it is different than how you (christians) were raised, it is you pushes hell in our faces. God is not giving me a choice. If he stood before me and told me the ways I would obey his every command and so would every non-christian on this planet. But it is not God who is talking to me. It is you(christians). And why should I believe you? WHAT DID YOU EVER DO TO DESERVE MY TRUST OR ANYONE ELSES. All you have done is told me unbelievable stories with a close minded attitude. You are not my god and have not earned my trust. When god tells me himself what he wants of me I will obey and so will any other non christians. So dont tell me I have chosen to not follow god, I have chosen not to follow you. and once again you are not god. And people of 2000 years ago i have zero trust in so the book they wrote is from them, not god.

i had previously asked 'if god is on our side then god is a joker asleep at the wheel while his children fall over'which was actually just a reference to a song
'everybody's gone to war' by nerina pallot(great video by the way)
however some of the answers made me think .People saying we are in charge of our own destiny ,we are the ones driving.
I went to a roman catholic school, and attend church almost daily, although these days churches are only for weedings and funerals and i am pretty sure of a greater being. However what about children being hurt/abused,murdered who is in charge of their destiny?Doe's god think it's ok for them to suffer?I don't want to piss the big guy off but why does he allow needless suffering all over the world by the innocents.Saw a program last night on feral children why big man, why?????

it is for more than one month that they startewd attaching her physically,before that it was just calling names and...
i would bring her tomorrow to doctor but i don't know what should i do?
the school principle is such a racist ( anti -muslims ) and my daughter said that if she says something about those kids the principle put her in truble so she stays calm and even doesn't fight bach and those kids by knowing the principle ,do whatever they want.
the principle doesn't realize by putting down one kid, nothing would change.
