I know it seems absurd. But God is commonly described as a loving and forgiving god. If he is so forgiving then could this be possible?

They come from parents that are Jehova's Witnesses. There can be a big risk that they die because they won't get blood transfusions. These babies were born premature and are in need of extra attention. Do you think it is wrong for parents to refuse needed medical treatment for their children because of their religion?

"He might turn out to be one of those *******."
My cousin's mother pretty much ignored him, and just told him to "shut up" in a playful tone. I became irate. I stood up and said "If he WERE what you just said he might be, would you hate him, you dumbass?" Everyone looked at me and
became silent. No one said anything to me afterward, includinbg my uncle.....Was I wrong? Should I have handled the situation differently. I can only take so much of stupidity after all! Even if I over-reacted, I have my reasons...I have been called that word in a non-joking way SO MANY times that I have considered suicide, weak as that may sound.......

I burn money candles and often figurines show up in them. I would like to decipher them. Just need a good website that can tell what they mean.

I spent the majority of my life as an Athiest and reletavist. I denied an absolute God and jesus christ, I lived my life the way i wanted to
and often looked down upon people who prostelyzed. I persited in this view until oned ay God himself confronted me, he confronted me with His Holiness and His thunderous law. At once I was taken back to my youth and reminded of my transgressions of His Law (ten Commandments), I remebered the many times I unthoughtfully blasphemed Gods name, lied, fornicated with my eyes and my thoughts, and all the times I live an idolatrous lfe of material items. I came to the realization of Gods Holiness and Justice and the Consequneces of my transgressions (hell). Then at the most fearful time in my life, God revealed to me why Jesus died, I broke His law and Jesus paid my fine with his lifes blood, and he alone held the key to death and hell. I knew what I must do, i fell on my face and pleaded with God in repentace, and I placed my faith in Jesus.

Well I just have a quick question. When you go for namaz. i.e. jummah prayers or eid prayers. People always are praying before and after the congregation salat. So I was wondering why this was and how many rakats you are supposed to do?

or whatever it wants to be called.

I am not a christian, do not believe in God, however i feel i lead my life how most christians would.

I dont steal, i dont cheat, i've never killed anyone or been to jail and i follow MOST of the ten commandments (because i feel a lot are a good way to live your life) I donate to charities and help the needy whenever i can.

So i consider myself a good person. but the one thing is that i dont believe in God.

If God is so nice, why would i have to believe in him, for him to consider me a good person and for him to let me into "heaven"??

if they converted just before they breathed their last breath, will they go straight to heaven? but what about the injustice they've done towards others? will they go unpunished because they converted?

i don't mean to offend anyone with this question, but this is the question that i can't easily dismiss from my mind. can anyone enlighten me? it really just seem unfair...

What does it add to the language, other than complexity, by insisting that speech use this word over that word, even if the meaning is clear? To demonstrate...
"For whom the bell tolls." or "For who the bell tolls." and other similar sentences.
Is there a difference in meaning when it is said either way, or just considered incorrect regardless of the fact the meaning is clear?
Another approach might be the language use of children. Where one might say "I break my toys." and then later say "You breaked my toys." What purpose does it serve to insist it be said "You broke my toys", if the meaning and logic are clear?
When a word changes the intended meaning of a sentence is obvious, but if it doesn't, what's the harm?
Keep in mind that I'm asking about the harm inflicted to the language and not the simple effect of having people correct you all the time.

1 There have been many false missing links in the past, such as Lucy. They have been disproved. I read on one A. that an evolutionist had written, that there are no actual missing links between us and apes found. So without a missing link how CAN Evolution be real?

2 If you are a real evolutionist, than there can be no known higher authority than man. Was Stalin right in killling so many innocent lives? (Remeber, man can make his own morals because there is no higher athority; God) How do you say he was wrong? What you say is merely your opinion compared to his.

I believe he was wrong because God says he was in the 6th commandment "Thou shalt not kill." but how do Evolutionists say he was wrong? I am honestly curious.

I am gay, and over time I have realized that you dont see many gay relationships last more than a year. I mean now, to me when you hear of guys being together for more than 3 years, that would almost be the equivalent if two people were to spend a lifetime together. Why is that? Now and days, usually when I go on a date, usually the other person wants some pillow talk at the end of it, and thats just not something I want. What happened to just getting to know eachother and letting time work things out?

I was talking to my friend today about his church and how the other week they watched a movie that gave reasons why the Harry Potter series is satanic and should not be read and how parents should not let their kids read any of these books. I was amazed. I had no idea this kind of thing goes on. That's just like propaganda in my eyes... I just don't understand. So, please I'd like someone to give me good reasons why this happens and I'd like to know if these kinds of practices are common in churches around the US. He also told me about the Church/Pastor slamming D&D, Trading Card Games, and more. Let me know or just give your opinion.
