,for one example, are as high in christian churches according to recent studies than other groups. Divorce being one of the main components needed for adultery, as defined in the Bible, and the Bible stating : "I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies.... they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah." Jerimiah 23:14

How can activist claiming to be Christian attempt to judge others in the politcal arena and try and legislate laws against groups of American culture?

Honestly, I asked this question in other words earlier and some "loving person" without an answer but apparent reporting grace said it was slur so it was removed. So, I did not get to finish reading most of the answers, There is not intention to offend anyone, just wanting some others viewpoints.

Good questions that would start up a long, thought out conversation? I'm trying to get someone to be more open with themself and talk more, I need some questions or something to bring up that would make them say something besides "Yes", "No", or "I don't know"

I just want a brief description of the passover (jewish feast). I want to know the history of passover (how it came about) and what the passover consists of (like the blood of the lamb and stuff like that). And also, I would like to know why this is extremely significant to the Jewish faith.

So, if you could help me out, that'd be great! I need to know this for some research I'm doing.
THANKS!

I know alot of christians are to blame and are judgmental and give the good ones a bad rep but noone attacks non believers for voicing the veiws of a Godless world. And the last time I checked I never seen a christian follow someone home bang on doors and force into peoples homes,I call them jahovah( spelled wrong I think) and mormons. Not the same we all have different beliefs. Im a christian who dont yell your going to hell, and only talks about it when im asked. Is that wrong?

Do you say those things because you want to save peoples souls or have had a bad experience with mormonism? I'm sure that some people are just being idiots but i believe others are doing it to honestly try to save people.

Do you believe that the Bible is underminded by your belief in evolution? Were you ever a creationist? Do you think you'll ever become a creationist?

(If it's not called Velcro in America, I don't know what it is, but you must know the stuff - it comes in two halves, one scratchy with little hooks and one smooth and fuzzy, and you use it to stick things together.)

I love it, and I have a favourite half (which I might reveal after I get some answers), but I want to know which side you prefer, and why?
As much detail as possible please!

As an atheist, people will say to me "I'll pray for ____" I smile and thank them.

But I have never figured out a graceful way to respond when they ask ME to pray for them! I don't like to lie. I used to say "Sure will" and say a little prayer to my computer hard drive, but I don't like that solution either.

Lately I have just taken to responding with "I'll be thinking of you so much" but yuck! Does anyone have a better solution?

Let me give you two senerios - both true

C&B have been together for 7 years. They have two children together and have lived together for 5 years. They are totally committed one another, their children are being raised by both parents who love and adore both of them. They are getting legally married in 2007.
~~~~~
J&R have been legally married for almost 20 years. They got married because they got preggers. The majority of these have been spent fighting and hating one another. Their children have grown up with mom raising them and Dad sitting in front of a TV or out in the garage. Mom goes out with the girls, Dad goes and plays pool with the guys.
~~~~~~~~~

Which one of them are married in the eyes of God?

earlier today i was shopping in my local town, when a women and two men started walking up the road with a staffordshire puppy about 6 months, the guy holding the puppy on the lead started kicking it in the head and then swung it up in the air, shouting and swearing, it was apparant that they were drunk or on drugs.........this was in a busy town centre with men and women walking past, not one person intervened......except for me.........I said that he should stop doing that or i will call the police, the other guy looked a bit worried, and said stop doing that to the guy, but the they both looked at me and started shouting and screaming at me......again no one intervened.......so then i phoned the police and told them. I cant believe that into days society, that someone would be that blatently cruel towards a dog, and if thats what he was doing in public, imagine what he does at home...............what would you have done??? I feel i should have done more !!

Do we really need priests, pastors, mullahs etc..? No doubt they were useful when the majority of people didn't know how to read and write and books were not available to everyone. Shouldn't the modern man/woman be personnally responsible for his spiritual progress?
