According to the basic doctrine layed out in this country's constitution, the church and the state should be kept separate. This applies to public schools as well. Religion is something for the home and the church/synagogue or mosque, not for basing the direction of this country and the basic teaching of our young. I am not against religion, but am just wondering why the religious groups always try to make political agendas their focal points, rather than enlightening their followers. Also, i am in favor of dropping the "one nation, under god" phrase from the pledge of allegiance and removing religious wording from all US currency. Please, i do not want bible quotes, i want original thoughts.

do you know that Science will end one day. The bible explains that Science has it's end.

is that case spiritually and religion should be in the science section or vice-versa.

now we can discuss science (evolution)and creation together. But that will be just one subject about God ,having in mind that God can covered many subjects, why is it that many people are trying to fit God in the "Science Subject".only?

the reason i ask is because while many Christian claim to worship The Truth they tend to deny truth and fact when those truths and facts don't coincide with their idolized version of The Truth.

would Jesus want you to lie or deny truth in order to attempt the myths surrounding him viable?

Will I be pleased if you ONLY go to the store but don't buy bread? No. I said I will be please if you go to the store AND "buy bread". Will I be pleased if you go to the next door neighbor and buy bread? No. I said I will be pleased if you "go to the store" AND buy bread. Simple English grammar states that the word AND is used in a sentence to require the equal necessity of both ideas it separates in a sentence.

"Whoever believes AND is baptized shall be saved". So why is it that we have no problem applying simple grammar to the first statement but refuse to apply it to the second?

Simply, if we apply it to the second then we will have to change a basic point of theology.

If you get what you prayed for, how can you be sure it was because God answered your prayer and not mere coincidence?

of clean or unclean meats was repealed ?
when he was told to kill and eat he replied 3 times
"not so Lord for i have never eaten anything common or unclean" acts 10 :14
surely if it was repealed he would have known.
yet he still "wondered within himself what this vision he had seen meant" (verses 16-17 )
so he already knew what the vision did NOT reveal
later God revealed the true meaning of the vision
"God has shown me that i should not call any MAN common or unclean"( verse 28 )
none of Gods laws were ever or could ever be repealed

People need to be trained from childhood to think deeply before they start giving out their response by way of words or an action. This recommended process of thinking (loud thinking/think before you leap?) will definitely improve the output of any human being resulting in better response from the opposite person. To the best of the knowledge gained by the human beings so far since evolution of human race, only human beings are endowed with the faculty of thinking and it is very often under utilised ornot utilised at all.
Even God incarnates in "The Hindu Mythology " are no exception to it. For e.g. in Ramayana, Rama went after the golden deer unmindful of the consequences,Sita instigated Rama to go after the golden deer,and also crossed the Lakshman Rekha, Lakshman left Sita alone with out any security or protection, and Ravana acted impulsively with out assessing the valour of Rama ,resulting in the untold suffering of Sita, Rama and Lakshmana,and death of Ravana and many others

It usually comes up when a Christian is bashing the Islamic community for their terrorist extremists, and someone brings up the Crusades. "Yes, but that was a long time ago," is often the answer.

Do Christians realize that this flaggrant and flippant dismissal of past injustices is highly offensive? I know many Jews and Wiccans who find this sort of attitude to be very disgusting. I know African Americans feel the same when Christians dismiss the fact that the Bible was used to justify slavery for so very long.

Some of the Christians even deny that the Inquisitions happened at all, when there's mountains of historical evidence that millions died at the hands of both the Catholic and the Protestant churches!

I'm just wondering how it is fair to call Islam a "bad" religion because of its terrorists, but it's okay to dismiss Christianity's sordid history even though everything done during those times (war, burnings, slavery) was and is officially sanctioned by the Bible!

If you ask a technical question that you really need to know the answer to you never get a helpful answer. And worst of all, if you ask a thought provoking question that happens to offend someone's beliefs you lose ten points. The abuse-button abusers are the cancer that is killing this site. There should be a penalty for using the abuse button frivilously. If you disagree with me, you are probably an abuse-button abuser yourself. So, what do you have to say about the general faggotry of Yahoo! Answers?

For the last few days, I've had the words "Raido Berkana Ehwaz" stuck in my head, like a song that just won't escape. I know they are different runes, I've done quite a bit of studying up on them. Unfortunately I don't have my Runelore book with me. Does anyone know any possible meaning behind those three runes being together and stuck in my head? Do they mean anything special, or are they just wandering around in my head for no real reason at all?
