Why does everyone follow that stuff without knowing the other side of the story? We all know god's word, but what about satan's? Maybe god is simply more powerful so he was able to silence what satan wanted to say, but not any more good, and if you follow someone because of the power and not because of their morals doesn't that make you a mentally weak person? Seriously, think about the bible. God has admitted in it to killing all the 1st born children in Egypt, flooding the earth, and sending tons of people to eternal suffering. That makes Hitler look like a novice at genocide, but just imagine what god hasn't admitted to. I mean this is one sick dude. I don't remember Satan ever commiting genocide of the human race, killing babies or sending people to suffer for eternity. Satan seemed to be in the right mind when he rebelled against god...He is a true hero! Willing to risk punishment by the more powerful by standing up for what is truly good..what is more heroic than that?

Really. Conservative christians say "In hell you will burn and suffer for eternity". I disagree with this, as I believe everyone will be saved, but that's not the point.

Anyway, if we do burn in hell, yet our bodies are buried under a tombstone and our souls are burning, and our bodies feel pain when touched by fire, how do our souls feel pain by the fire? Its the soul, not the body. So I think our eternal suffering would be eternal boredom.

While eating lunch at a casual restaurant (not fast food) this past wkend a tennage girl in the booth behind us sat on the edge of the seat and flipped over her very long hair, started brushing it and fooling with it. Putting it into a ponytail. taking it out, etc. That is SO rude and unhealthy around food. Her parents were there and didn't say a word to her. I could just picture those long hairs getting into people's food. That's just one of the rude things I noticed this past weekend. Why don't parents teach their kids any better? Is it because they weren't taught any better themselves?

Why is it that we always question what the Bible says, but we mostly always believe what the newspapers and magazines say? We do question the Bible alot.

Please, no flaming.

I have a cousin that is really into practicing reiki and meditation. Can a person spend to much time into this practice and forget about other important things in life. I was thinking of the effects of a cult on some people?

It's what Jesus would have done. If you don't think so then you are not a true Christian.

They're are plenty of historical manuscripts found around the world such as the dead sea scrolls. So why do people believe that Coloumbus discovered America in 1492, when none of us were here to witness it.

What does this mean??

Ti amerò per sempre

Does it mean, "I will love you forever"??

It seems to me that perhaps the man never existed.

Supposedly thousands of people followed him. People did alot of writing from the time and region he supposedly lived, but not about jesus. There are still many records and letters and historical accounts from the period, but strangely no mention of this jesus.

Also, much of the jesus story (including the crucifixion and resurrection) appears to come from older, yet very familiar religious traditions such as Chrishna, Horus, Orpheus, Bacchus, Osiris, Apollo, Hercules, Mithras, etc.

A likely answer is the whole jesus narrative is really just a metaphor for the sun's yearly passage through the zodiac

and the religion-slash-biography was crafted by leaders in 100 or 200 AD from pre-existing myths and philosophies from the area.

You can add anything constructive that you have,
or just flame away.

I am very happily married, but still find myself just as attracted to women as I am to men. I've been this way for over 20 years (I'm 34 now). Increasingly I'm wanting to do something about it, i.e., experience it with a woman once to get it out of my system, but that would be cheating on my husband. What is wrong with me?

I mean I know that you are not worshiping the saint but you are praying to THEM as compared to God. Would this take away from the glory of God and thus go against the 10 comandments?

I am planning on inquiring at the local Catholic church about RCIA this week. However, I need to find out if my divorce will be a problem. The reason for the divorce: husband's hidden homosexuality and psychological disturbances. What do you think?
