I wonder if believers have faith because of an experience of answered prayer.

Would you have faith if no prayer had ever been answered?

If they have, what prayers have been answered?

Gay is OK, liberalism is OK, abortion is OK, but God and Jesus are not, and that's why so many people here are going to burn in ~~~~HELL~~~~ unless they turn it around NOW.

“Taking Holy Communion does not really matter. What matters is that Christians go and serve people in their neighbourhood” Do you agree?

I will admit that I discriminate against anyone dressed like a "rapper", this includes latino's, whites, asains, blacks, and the occasional middle easterner. I believe my discriminatory behavior is seeded in the thug attitude that alot of the people dressed in that style seem and have conveyed to me in the past. To those of you who are concerned my discrimination is only limited to judging someone by how they are dressed before ever talking to them.
Now my comparison for the discriminatory behavior has to do with this example...
If a person is badly bitten by a big black dog as a child usually that child "discriminates" against big black dogs the rest of their life.
Why can the same not be true for people?
Growing up I was bullied and picked on by people who dress and talked like rappers.

personally. A man should not have to take care of someone for the rest of his life. She should be able to support herself.

work? If so, do you do it by yourself, as part of a group, as part of a religious group, or what? Is it anonymous, or out in the open?

Basically, tell me about your charity work. Not necessarily what exactly you do, or how it made you feel, but how you got started, who - if any one you do it with, if it is religious in nature or not, etc.

I'm trying to increase my charity and just want to know generalities concerning your experiences.

In addition to the normal photosynthesis pathway, cacti (and some other plants) have an additional pathway that is specialized for photosynthesis in a water-scarce environment (called the CAM pathway). If before the flood the all plants were watered by a fine mist that was sufficient for the growth of tall timber(see this question for more details: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnPkVCU7kiRJxaVuxpA.sjzsy6IX?qid=20070109153609AAWFhGz) then why did God create this special pathway in cacti?

The only 'logical' conclusion that I can see is that he knew that the fall would occur and subsequently that the flood would occur. If he knew both of these things in advance, can it truly be said that Adam and Eve were perfect when he created them?

Non-south asian language speaking ppl need not answer.

My brother-in-law said this to me and I feel embarraced to ask him what it means so I thought i'll try here. I guess it's a compliment maybe, as he followed by saying i'm quite an important person.

What can you tell me about this line?

Thanx.

I was always taught that if you called someone a colored or black person it's an insult. I thought that Afro American was the proper term. But I'm white so my opinion on this doesn't matter. For the record what do you like being called? Please only black people answer this or I won't know if it's just an opinion or if it's right thing to do Thanks

I was reading a bit about buddhism and especially the Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism. And I was wondering where do the original sutras come from? I mean Buddha started them all... But how did he know what words are powerful? How did he know that some particulat words can be so strong. I mean, I recon they come from sanscript, but even in sanscript, who created it and how did it become so powerfull?I have been thinkink abou tit for a while now and I can't figure out. Any ideas are welcome.

First Jesus is God (according to the bible), don't believe me:

http://www.christiananswers.net/kids/ednk-jesusgodorman.html

But he talked to God, like "father why have you forsaken me?" Isn't he just talking to himself, someone else asked this question, and no one had an answer, in fact many Christians said that he is just the son of god, but you can't be both the son and the father, you just can't. I can beleive (though I don't) that God can come down as a man. That makes sense, but why would he talk to himself then?

I know there's an Islamic and Jewish New Year, but never really thought about a Christian New Year. Also, are there other New Years that other religious groups celebrate?

DECLINE OF ROME: "Gibbon considered that Christianity had contributed to this, making the populace less interested in the worldly here-and-now and more willing to wait for the rewards of heaven." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decline_of_the_Roman_Empire

Gibbon didnt know the half of it. Rome lasted 1000 years. What a coincidence that, not long after Christianty became the state religion, did Rome fall.

Look at America today. Each new generation has a more naive, simplistic, and weak worldview. Each generation continues to be influenced by pacifist Christian morality. Love your enemy. Turn the other cheek.

It matters not whether they practice this in their personal lives. The issue is, Americans use this moral code as a foundation. Particular the left-wing. Think about it. Almost every pathetic dim-witted weak fool from the left is a Christian, not an atheist or whatever...but a Christian.

Where does are this defeatist thinking come from? The left which gets it from Xianty.
