How about..."Thou shall not steal", or "Honor thy mother and father"...""don't bear false witness(gossip included)"..."do not covet(and be a slave to gross consumerism)"...

And we hear from so MUCH of America that these are "religious" fanatical, nutcase values...

The X-mas parade in Los Angeles was axed after some 40 years, but we recently had our annual 'Gay-Pride' parade...

Not a single entity can survive when it abandons the principals on which it was founded.

So back to my original question?

you fall in love with a person that different religion or races from you, and you ought to follow his/her religion if you married and maybe your parents will dislike you two to get together, how do you handle it?

A better example would be...you are my mom, and your daughter and grandchildren are in hell.

Which is it?

- God makes heaven in such a way that you don't remember me and the grandkids. Therefore you don't wonder where we are and are blissfully ignorant of our eternal torment. He indulges in a little godly brainwashing to keep you from knowing the truth.

or

- God lets you keep your earthly memories and you know the truth of our torment. But God creates heaven in such a way that somehow knowing your loved one is in torment doesn't impact your happy mood. Kind of like knowing 9/11 is happening every morning when you wake up, and your family is in the Twin Towers, but you're not bothered by it.

Is there a third option I've missed other than the "Get Out of Jail Free" card where you say "God works in mysterious ways"?

"US researchers have for the first time injected human stem cells into monkeys with Parkinson's symptoms, seen as a key step in the fight to find a cure. The stem cells, which have been injected into rodents in the past, initially stopped the monkeys' damaged brain cells from deteriorating." --BBC news

about issues involving the U.S. that may not be looked at postively?

I posted a question about the suicide rates and the military and basically got attacked and pretty much called a Anti-American Pyscho Terrorist with an allegiance to the "Libs."

First of all, I personally don't consider myself to be liberal or conservative as agree with certain things from both parties. I vote on issues not just based on a particular party.

Why can't people ask questions without being labeled anti-American?

Why do you think the Bible is infallible when there is so much evidence to say that it is not infallible.

Does anyone else get freaked out when someone says, I will pray for your soul or You should be thanking God? Would doing away with all religions help cure the world of its problems? Would a one world religion stop the insanity, abuse, and intolerance that many religions seem to inspire?

Heres the dream for more info.
I was having a normal strange dream when suddenly I was in bed sleeping still in the dream. Anyway loud wind is rushing all over by body I'm wearing my sleep t-shirt. My legs, hips get lifted up into the air. I sort of feel as if I'm being slapped. I Whlie all this is going on I'm screaming in fear but also for my Mommy. I'm a adult so I call her Mom calling her Mommy is a stratch for me. Also let me add in this dream the wind is so loud it's like hearing waves crashing. My head arms are on my pillow like normal.
When I woke up I found all was normal in my dark room and I had said Mommy on my lips so I may have been talking in my sleep. So what do u all think? A grumpy ghost named Samuri or just a subconscience crazy dream? Keep in mind I don't believe in ghosts.

If you even mention the health care system in Canada, Americans post all sorts of nasty things. Why should they care? Are they so jealous and petty? Many Americans who live near the border travel to Canada for our health and dental care. They have to pay cash but get it for a fraction of what it costs in the US. I bet you didn't know that you Yankee dogs.

Why don't you just worry about your own health care problems and leave us alone? If we want it changed, we will change it.

Being a Christian starts with being born again of the Spirit of God who gives a new way of looking at life. It has been so incredible the difference of my life before August 21, 1989 and my life after August 21,1989.
I gave my heart to Jesus that evening and WOW what a change. I felt the Spirit of God enter my body the next day when I opened up the bible like I promised God I would and when I read the words, "In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the Word was God." I literally felt God enter from my head to my toes and it was incredible.
Does your God let you know he is real? What joy. Thank you Jesus.

I want to know what you think the actual "God" is? Most of the so called "religious" crap/BS stuff I hear and read is so mixed up and twisted. I feel that there is "something" BIG to all this. Can some intelligent person "enlighten us"?

This may be too long but i just need to know what ya'll think.The thing is,i have a stuttering problem since childhood.And im praying day and night(crying out to god)asking him to heal this stuttering problem of mine,to have mercy on me and i have total faith in him that he will answer my prayers.Soon in my school im going to have a speech class that everyone is suppose to have in order to graduate.And im soo scared cuz i dont know how i will be able to talk in front of public since i get nervous really fast.Let me tell ya'll,once this paster came to my house and suprisingly he knew EVERYTHING ABOUT ME.He knew i stutter,he knew about my life,and more.So he asked me to read the bible.After that he held me and told me that"i know everything about you"and he told me too.I was shocked and asked him how he knew so much about me,and he told me that its these spiritual feelings he had.So i know since that day that my god is watching me.But will god answer my prayers?will he have mercy on me??
