Each person would be expected to look within themselves first, to find that kingdom, or to know ourselves more fully.

Do we need to understand ourself first, in order to have a more positive life experience?

I think when people say they "know" for a fact that god is real and have felt him in their heart, they get confused.
while standing up during the praise & worship portion of a church service, hands protruded in the air and tears welling up in their eyes, they don't realize that they are simply feeling a series of human emotions

when people say that it is not just an emotion, because "it is beyond words" that kind of reasoning doesn't adequately justify faith at all.

WHEN I USED TO BE A CHRISTIAN, I would have answered just like that.
I would answer that “it all works out in the end and I, like other Christians, REALLY DO feel Christ in my heart” !!!!

1. Hallucinations is not proof that God exist

2. Unexplained events is not proof that God exist

3. Not being able to figure out the workings of the Universe in not proof that God exist

4. Not being able to figure out how life started is not proof that God exist

5. Having an imaginary friend is not proof that God exist

6. Playing the faith card is not proof that god exist

Dont try the air and wind trick

Air can be trapped in a balloon. Can you trap God in a balloon? They can test the speed of air. Can they test the speed of how fast God is flying in the sky?

The market is flooded with business and psychology majors. People go for these degrees because they are cake degrees. If your going to spend all that money for college, why not go for a degree that not many people have, so you can get a job that pays a lot???

Do you believe in free will or destiny? Is life just the consquences and reaction of the decisions and actions we make in life or is it all predestined for us? I find destiny to be hard to believe. I don't believe that someone's destiny can be to live in poverty and then starve to death or to be raped, tortured and murdered. I want to believe in God and an afterlife, but with all the evil in the world, I don't know. Is God not able to intervene in our lives? Do we make our own choices and decisions and whatever happens to us is just the consequence? What about people who have terminal illnesses and get cured miraculously. or other people who survive near death? How come some people have wonderful lives, never knowing of misery or sorror, and others lives are the complete opposite? I may sound stupid, but I would like to know what other people think or believe.

In our house, Santa always wraps his gifts in wrap that has pictures of Santa on it.

Gifts from us are NOT decorated with pictures of Santa. And, on our gifts, I tie a little angel or snowman or other tie on, near the gift tag. Santa doesn't use tie ons.

We figured Santa wouldn't use the same paper we use, would he?

On the other hand, when I was a kid, Santa used the exact same paper my Mom used. I didn't catch on. Think I was a bit slow.

Nearly every question I see in this section starts something like this...

"To Christians, why do you suck..."
"To Atheists, you're retarded..."

Or some other such nonsense. I think Yahoo! should make a whole new section just for all you idiots to fight in.

I honestly can't remember when I found out Santa wasn't real. I'm sure my parents didn't tell me - I probably told them. I have a younger sister (3 1/2 years younger) and I kinda remember them telling me to keep it to myself so that she didn't find out. But I have absolutely no recollection of how old I was or how I figured it out. And I'm sure that for sometime, even though I was pretty sure he wasn't real, I kinda pretended he was . . . just in case.

Did anyone feel heartbroken when they found out? I know that some parents feel strongly that perpetuating the myth of Santa is lying to their children - do any of you actually remember thinking badly of your parents for this "sometimes called" lie?

This question is in conjuction with the one I asked yesterday.
I could give you hundreds of medical miracles documented by the Catholic church (for the faithful and the doubters) and verified "beyond reason" by physicians.
Or I could give you vision seen by multiple people at the same time, without them knowing each other.
And I wonder if any of you have been told about such things, but, in any case I was wondering how you deal with the term "miracle."

Here is a link hit the fourth point on the faq, if you're interested (I tried pasting, but it's too long and I got complaints):
