Or maybe it's something like- where the mind goes, the man follows? We become what we think...?
Thanks :-)

If I were to accept Christianity, what should be acceptable evidence that what I'm doing is right?

The Bible would need to be substantiated. I woud need to know that what it says is true, and I would need to know that so-called prophecy was actually written before the fact, and that the events claiming to substantiate it were not created by man for that purpose.

I would need to know that Jesus A: Actually existed, B. Actually fulfilled prophecy, C: Actually rose after dying. D. Was who the Bible claims he said he was.

With the ONLY extra-biblical evidence for the man Jesus existing being the copied writings of Josephus, how can a person come to have anything other than a subjective experience of Christianity as true?

You seem to accept every other theory in the universe as fact, so would that do it for you? Would you believe in Him then? Is that what it would take? Would that be enough? This is my first question here, so take it seriously.

I've been told my dad was the nicest man in the world, everyone loved him and for the short time he and my mum were married, they never fought and he never hurt her once. At his funeral they had to have two funeral services as the two floors of the church were packed full and the 2nd service was the same. He died when I was 6months old leaving my mum widowed, depressed, with a small baby to raise without a father. I now have a daughter thats 10months old and I've never appreciated how hard it must have been for her until now.
Everyone says, oh it was just his time. Why? Nothing was good about dying at that time! That's terrible timing!
There's billions of evil wickid people in the world.
Why did God need him, God can solve his own problems.
My dad would have made alot more peoples lives happier alive than being a fukcing 'flower' in Gods garden. What possible reason could he have had to take him!
There will never be a good reason to justify that kind of pain and loss.

There are so many, it's hard to choose, but I'll have to say that, to me, the fellow who was ready to burn his only son alive to please god, and the fellow who did burn his daughter alive because he promised god he would offer him a "sacrifice." And parents wonder why their teenaqe kids wish they'd just let them alone.

do the bad things you do happen to you? has anyone had this...?
personally i think its mental punishment..you judge other people to your own standards its natural,so all the bad things your capable of doing,other people could do to you! or so you think because of your own standards!!
what do you think? have things happened to you that mirror things that you've done? any spooky coincedents?

Isn't marijuana a plant that God would have created?

I really don't know what it would be like for a cancer patient to have that kind of pain. I do know that this weekend I managed to strain a muscle in my upper chest, and no matter what I did I could not get comfortable.

Believe me, if I actually knew how to get some weed and I thought it would help, I would have done it. And this was probably a 5 on the 1-10 pain scale.

Maybe the Christians should worry more about Jesus Christ and less about the Christian Coalition.

According to the King James Bible at John 8:58, trinity believers feel that Jesus was claiming to be the great I AM of Exodus 3:14. If that is the case, why would he call his Father the ONLY true God at John 17:3?

I see christians and atheists all the time complaining on here that they are being disrespected. Take a look at this question.. is this the kind of "respect" you'd like shown to your beliefs? I know most faiths have a "golden rule".. that treat others as you want to be treated. I just wondered how you all apply it in this instance:

university crowds (I base this on the attempt made by the University where I live to make me abort my son who was born normal but, they kept trying to talk me into an abortion merely because I was 35 when I had him. They told me that there was a great chance he would be a Down's Syndrome child and they weren't even human because the body normally screens them out and gets rid of them naturally but, once in a while one slips through) , so do you feel they have a soul?

I personally feel they are God's special children, who are more innocent than most people but, most assuredly they have a soul.
