What bothers you more?

People who don't believe in God?

or

People who worship God in a way that's different from yours?

...that both ways, too - but now they're gonna start laying all of the evil on Richard Dawkins, I think.
Who knows what these nuts will do next.

Anyhow, the question:Why do atheists say religion is illogical but then say freewill exists (which is just as illogical)?
Even the super-atheist, Richard Dawkins, said humans are just biological machines and that freewill to make ANY choice is an illusion. Everything we do has a pre-existing cause that was forced upon us by circumstances out of our control.

This is my prayer, i start the days with this, Do you have a better prayer than this? Tell me your prayers!!!

Praise be to God,
Lord of the worlds.

The Beneficent, the Merciful.

Owner of the each and the ultimate
Day of Judgement.
O’Lord!
You alone, we worship;
You alone, we ask for help.

Show us always, the right way,
In each and every matter.

The way of those,
whom You have blessed;

Not the way of those,
Who earn Your anger,
Nor of those who go astray.

Why are we letting "foreign Americans" teach our children to hate the USA? Saudia Arabia is donating millions to our colleges & universities and they are establishing professor slots for them.

Has anybody noticed how much your children have changed when they come home to visit?

What can be done about it? What can we as Christians do to protect our homeland and our families?

It seems the most common age group on here seem to b teens to maybe early 20's.
Many might find this statement arrogant, but u have to admit u can atleast get a rough idea of someones age by what or how they ask, not necessarily the content. Cos who tells the truth about their age on here. not many id assume. lol

I got a new car...bless God, a porsche 911 carrera!

I wanted personal plates that say 1THES5 16

1st thesselonians 5:16 is "be joyful always"

The lady 4 weeks later at the DMV told me they were denied because of offensive material. How is being joyful while I drive a porsche offensive? What should I be, miserable??

I understand my area is highly multicultural and this could be offesnsive....but secular ones are out there that are horrible! I have seen "CHICKMAGNT" "SXMACHNE" "STNRULES" and others.

Any thoughts on this as correct? violation of my rights? Advance of secular humanism?

thanks for everyone that shares a respectful opinion....it is most welcomed

My uncle, who is a Japanese buddhist, has recently passed away from cancer. He is an extremely important person to me, and I also believe that tattoos are a special form of self expression. I have designed a really nice tattoo for his commemoration, but I just have one little set back: I definetly do not know Japanese. On the day of my high school graduation, two years ago, my uncle told me to "live without regret," and those were words that he abided by as well. Can anybody help me translate "Live Without Regret" into Japanese? Or give me any ideas on where to go, or who I could talk to who could help me with this issue? I want the correct translation, so any helpful information is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

“When men strive together, and hurt a woman with child, so that there is a miscarriage, and yet no harm follows, the one who hurt her shall be fined, according as the woman’s husband shall lay upon; and he shall pay as the judges determine. If any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth...“--Exodus 21:22-24

Am I misinterpreting this verse?

I was driving to the supermarket and stopped at a red light. I was sitting there looking straight ahead, thinking about what I was going to buy for Thanksgiving. The light turned green, and suddenly a flurry of activity to my left caught my eye, and a black man driving in the opposite direction was making an obscene gesture with his middle finger at me. I never saw him before in my entire life, and there was no rational reason for what he was doing. I managed to flip the bird back at him as he drove by, but that incident put me into an ugly mood. All the way to the supermarket, I was saying to myself, "that God damn filthy n____." Even while I was shopping I could not get back into my normal happy mood. I am not a redneck but actually liberal when it comes to race relations, civil rights, and equal opportunity. However, if insulted, I will insult back, and if stepped on, I will fight like hell.

While I understand that not everyone celebrates Christmas, I still tell people Merry Christmas. Not random people, but people I make contacnt with (ie. the bag boy who carries my items to the car, the teller in the check-out line, etc)

So here is my question. Do you tell people Merry Christmas? If you don't, what do you say? If you don't celebrate Christmas, do you get offended if someone wishes you a Merry Christmas? Should we say Happy Holidays instead? Should we say anything at all or treat it as just another day?

I'm not trying to push my religion onto others, I take saying "Merry Christmas" to others as wishing them the best during the Holiday season. If someone where to say to me "Happy Hanukkah" I'd reply "thank you, you too"

See what I mean? So what are your thoughts?
