I really like reading Harry Potter books. It's not easy to find good books to read. But how is it that Harry Potter is sinning against God? I never think it refers to sin against God or have anything to do with God.

This was bothering me for awhile and I really need some answers. If you were a good person but didn't believe in God, would you still go to Hell? I just hate the thought of someone dedicating themselves to helping others and in the end going to Hell as their reward. Any help is appreciated.

Even in the face of literally millions of pieces of evidence? Is that what they call blind faith?

For every seemingly positive their are at least 10 other negative traits as well.And no ,I really do not believe most 'aspies' are pontential Einsteins.I actually think of them as rather stupid in the general I.Q. way too.

"When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you." (Deuteronomy 18:9)

"Give no regard to mediums and familiar spirits; do not seek after them, to be defiled by them: I am the Lord your God." (Leviticus 19:31)

I'll be fair, and phrase this one two ways. Don't answer both unless you want to, just think about the perspective that interests you the most.

1) What is threatening about the scientific method to fundamentalist religion? The scientific method is merely a technique for investigating phenomena. How is this threatening? Many of the results are pretty handy. Like say, understanding electricity so we can build computers. Is it fair to try and separate the ones you like from the ones you don't?

2) What is truly threatening about fundamentalist religions to the advance of science? Particularly when we apply it to a more global view where someone is going to be studying any particular bits of phenomena somewhere, anywhere. Is there a true threat to science from fundamentalism and what is it?

I have a new friend who doesn't smoke, but he was telling me how he wants to start ... we're both in our 20s, so it's really his decision. Anyway, I was just wondering what the etiquette would be if I was to smoke around him -- do I offer him a cigarette?

And yes, I know smoking is bad for you, but that isn't the question here.

they would answer:

anything that is not of faith is sin
this is where faith comes in.
then it wouldn't be faith , would it?

so what if it's not faith?
what if it's proof AND faith?

why is there no other way around it but faith?

I realize god says all souls belong to him and that no one can sell something that doesnt belong to them so in my past before I became a born again christian (which I am christ is the lord of my life) if I would have said id sell my soul for something does that mean it happened...? I suffer from extreme paranoia and it would really help for some guidance
