Since there is no evidence of Jesus' miracles nor Joseph Smith's magic golden plates, are either of them credible in the least? What about Mohammad? Did we ever find that magic flying horse?

I have 2 friends. One appears to be on a spiritual quest, and she seems to have decided on believing that it is possible that all the gods of this world exist so therefore she will just accept that there is a higher power and will do nothing about it. She is very pessimistic, and I don't know how to bring up Christianity in our conversations.

My other friend is a very selfless optimist, who is pretty much one of the nicest people I've ever met, but unfortunately she is uninformed and has settled upon atheism. I fear that with her being very "intellectual" she will immediately dismiss the idea of God.

I know that I should pray to God so that He sends me the Holy Spirit and that he gives me the right words to say to them, but I still need some advice. These are pretty tough cases and I truly want them to be saved. At the same time, I don't want to turn them off either.

Thanks and God bless!

Have any of you taken the time to actually sit back a read any of the true scriptures of the Quran? Not the fake propagandist lies. Have any of you even gone to a Mosque to see what the Imams actually preach to us? Have you spoken to a Muslim and asked how they feel about the Psycho Extremists?

Do Catholics pray to the saints and Virgin Mary?
If so, why if the Holy Spirit is our intercessor?

Do Catholics really believe that they are taking Christ off the cross and repeatedly crucifying Him over and over again every time communion is taken?

Do Catholics really bow down before the communion bread? If so, why?

Why do Catholics have confessionals when only God can forgive sins?

Are Popes really considered to be infalliable beings?

Do Catholics pay the Vatican for their loved ones to get out of pergortory?

Do Catholics participate in bapitism for the dead?

These are all things that I have heard but I would like to hear from those who practice the faith because I can't find Biblical references for these things.

Is there another sacred document that the Catholics teach other than the bible?

Have you ever noticed how some things will just come naturally to some people, but other people, regardless of age, sex, lifestyle or background, just don't get it?

I think common sense may be tied to reincarnation. Lessons that you learn in passed lives make an imprint on your soul, which you can recall in future lives. The more you learn a lesson, the stronger the imprint becomes, and the sooner it becomes common sense in future lives.

Say, you learn that fire is hot when you're 6 one life because you touch it. In your next life, whether you touch a flame or not, you'll understand that it's hot when you're 6 because that's when you learned it last time. In your next life, maybe you'll understand it when you're 5, not because you touched it again, but because your soul remembers it.

Do you like to FART in elevators and watch the expressions on the people who are well dressed, and when they get out, they brush their clothes like the smell will rub off!! Or when you leave the elevator, you launch one for the travelers going up?

Jesus said he would return for Judgement Day before his disciples died...they are long dead and Jesus didn't return.
Matthew: "16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. 28 Verily I say unto you. There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom (Judgement Day)."
Mark: " 8:38 Whosoever therefore be ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of his Father with the holy angels. 9:1 And he said unto them. Verily I say unto you. That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, til they have seen the kingdom of God come with power (Judgement Day)."

Is it reasonable to assume that all Christians are homophobes if they think the bible is truth? Since gays are born with natural attraction to the same sex, is the only way a gay can win god's love is to be celibate? Is lesbianism wrong as well? It seems like only gay men are condemned in the bible.

I routinely get 1 or 2 emails a day from a pastor named Rod Parsley. I never signed up for anything, as I don't agree with this guy on many issues. Anyways I have clicked unsubscribe on the emails about seven times, as well as emailing them 10 different occasions asking them to remove me from their mailing list. They refuse to remove me and instead of removing me I have started getting emails from Rod Parsley's organization "Center for Moral Clarity" as well. No matter how many emails I send requesting to be removed or how many times I unsubscribe I can't get off the mailing list. Anyone have any ideas on how to get off? Also doesn't this count as harassment?

I got into a debate with someone the other day on whether homosexuality is an uncontrolled genetic trait or a conscious choice. She argued that it was genetic based on the idea that she had seen homosexual couples interact exactly like heterosexual couples in terms of emotional attachment and love. My counterargument stated that many people often confuse deep emotional attachment with sexual attraction (example: daughters falling in love with fathers). I also argued that if it was genetic, then there would be a "cure" for homosexuality, because they are noting more than a genetic abnormality. I would just like to hear some opinions from either side to make a more educated judgement.
