Monotheistic religions like Christianity and Islam decry "false gods". If there is only one god, any description of any god by anybody will apply to that one god. How can there be "false gods" in such a situation?

I am doing some research on old treatments in early 1900 sanitariums/ insane asylums. Both abuse, and just the ways they used to treat conditions. I have tried searching the internet and keep coming up with very little information. Location of the place is not an issue. I just need an informational site with old pictures and a very good description about what went on. Maybe I am not using that right key words, who knows.. But some help would be wonderful! Thank you!

really now. according to every die hard christian out there, there's no greater joy than experiencing god's love. so to those who don't worship him and accept jesus as their personal savior, god condemns us to an eternity without him. and to make matters worse you're gonna burn for all of eternity as well. so, can you really say his love is that great if he has to use other means to get people to love him? if i were going to throw a party, and let's say it's the greatest party of all time, i would just just say everyone is invited. and if people decided not to come i would be cool with that. i'd even go as far as to say, "hey, no big deal. hopefully, you can make it to the next party." but not god. this guy who loves all of us so much says, "WHAT?!?!!! YOU'RE NOT COMING TO MY PARTY?!?!?!?!!!!! SCREW YOU THEN!!!!! BURN MOTHER-HEEHAW-BURN!!!!!" someone's got self-esteem issues, don't you think?

I am wondering if anyone has experienced the unexplainable encounter with a angel? I do not mean that you know it had to be an angel that was there, I mean you are left with this vist of a visivable angel who came from God for some reason?
Share it?

If Atheist took over and over time religion was banned in public life. Christianity was in its last breath. With your churches approval....... Would you strap a bomb to your chest and suicided kill innocent people if it was the only way to save your religion?

I constantly struggle with this concept, because I can't tell whether or not it is paradoxical. To me, acceptance is a level above tolerance -- tolerance is the willingness to let another opinion/belief exist without necessarily approving of it or liking it. But acceptance is more difficult to define. Can acceptance exist in a theist toward an atheist? Or vice versa?

I have many friends who are atheists, and I would never want to try to change their beliefs -- let them do that of their own accord, *if* they want to.

Are you a non-atheist who accepts (not "tolerates") atheists? If so, how?

If you are an atheist, are you accepting of theists? How?

Shouldn't she be inventing an AIDS cure?

For that matter, would Jesus be better off turning water into wine, or inventing a cancer cure?

Exodus 20:4 states, "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, OR ANY LIKENESS OF ANY THING that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." (KJV, emphasis mine)

Why do Protestants participate in the Satanic work that is photography?! I ask this of Protestants because we already know the Catholics and the Orthodox are going to fry in HELL for reasons too numerous to mention. But it is not too late for Protestants! Smash your cameras, get on your knees, and beg Our Lord Jesus Christ to forgive you for your sinful picture-taking!

Would you have the courage like the Columbine teenagers to stand up for God in the face of death and proclaim that Jesus is Lord? Or like the 9 year old girl in North Korea who was shot when she refused to spit on the Bible and denounce Jesus?

I am debating which copy of the two stories to buy. I want the one that sticks closest to the original writings without taking as many liberties. I've heard the Lattimore is closer to the writing in the iliad but he abridges the the story. Any suggestions?

I have been raised Christian, and I am starting to doubt whether or not Christ was a an incarnation of God. I do not believe that the Bible is divinely inspired, although it has some good advice. I still believe in God very much, but the more I learn about the prophets of other religions, the more I see that all of them seem to be a lot alike. Are there any arguments in favor of Christ being an incarnation of God that are not based on the Bible or faith? And please do not quote a bunch of Bible passages or explain what "faith" is. I have already explored these ideas and made my decisions about them. Thanks for any new theories that might help me understand Christ better!

If God never changes why is there such a big difference between the God in the old testament and the God in the new testament.

The God in the old testament is Jealous and vengeful, yet the God in the new testament is like ok maybe i can attract more flies with honey.
