What is the REAL reason that people Do not believe in God? OR if you do believe there is a God, what is the reason you do not believe He is the God of the Bible and that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world? I am really curious to know the REAL reason.. and I am not going to comment- I am just going to read it. I feel like a lot of people on here just dont like christians- so they dont want to believe. But please tell me the REAL reason. Have I said the word "real" enough? LOL

Looking for a church, someplace which helps you become a better human being (as opposed to hating others or feuding with material science).

I know many will suggest their own church, but is there a website somewhere that compares different churches on of what kind of people attend, they key points of teachings, stance on various issues?

what are the rules about saying hello to people who you work / engage withduring the day.
is it just me or is passing certain people you work with quite awkward - are you meant to say hello 10 times every day, who should say hello first - is it ignorant / offensive to not say hello to people you work with when they dont either.
do you have to fake friendliness in work / public?
is it expected?

I've considered taking up meditation, but I don't really know much about it. They're so many different types with different types of restrictions. I don't want to get too involved with anything that would contradict my beliefs. (I don't want to say any organized religion, but I do believe in God).

Anyhoo, I would like to know if anyone here in y/a meditates, what type, and how it has benifited you in any way. The more information the better!

-Grazie!

I'm tired of these namby pamby complaints from people about how mean people are being by questioning their opinions/beliefs? Does anyone recognize the value of criticism? There are certainly opinions and beliefs I hold that are not true. I'm a human being, and this is unavoidable. If I try to insulate myself from criticism, how will I ever become aware of my errors? We don't get closer to the truth by latching onto certain ideas and protecting them. Am I alone in this view? Feel free to be as ruthless and cruel in criticizing my ideas/opinions as you please, by the way. I will be OK!

Islam: Submission to the will of God.
Muslim: A follower of Islam, submission to God. A person who submits their will to God.

Doesn't it look like these words should be revered and respected, instead of hated? Muslims don't hate non-Muslims. Let me repeat myself. Muslims don't hate non-Muslims. I hope, I hope, I hope there will be peace some day. God willing, there will be a time when we will learn to love each other the way God intended for human beings to love one another. I am always hopeful. Please God, let there be peace some day in the world. Amen.

when he 'canonised' the Qur'an destroyed some of the original surahs? Also an archaeologist called Arthur Jeffrey apparantly discoveredQur'anic texts written prior to the canonisation, and there are differences.

As I understand it, the only people who seem to have heard of him are Christians who want to refute Islam. The only person of that name that comes up on search engines is a physicist. However, I can't find a 'coherent' Islamic respose to this. I'm not a Muslim, and if the Qu'ran was altered and edited to omit contradictory sections, I'd like to know. Alternatively, if this is rubbish, then Christianity is spreading a lie, and i dare say that Christians would benefit from knowing this. I hope that you'll all tolerate a bit of controversy in the interests of finding out the truth.

Which ever dumb loser in the goverment who descided to start calling northern africans,southern europeans and middle eastern whites must've been smokn allot of drugs, because they don't look white to me.
Italians
greeks
spanish
portuguese
Algerians
Eygyptians
Lebanese
Tunisians
Morroconians
just to name a few nations that are classified as white and do not look white to me, are called white under the name of u.s law, sure there may be a few with light skin and colored eyes from those nations but its rare, most people in those southern countries have dark skin and live in tropical areas espicially towards the far south of europe.
As people say ''Africa Begins At Rome'' south from there you're not considered white! all these peoples have some sort of african descent in them, and these people look different from the real whites, they've got different facial features and all these people seem too look more alike and are completely different from the white race. I don't understand
