Now I am not asking you to consider that God was behind it, that is a matter of faith, and for you personally to decide.

Consider this, what made the big bang, why did it happen, where did it come from? What was there before it?

If all matter and energy came from that one moment, where did it come from?!

My point is that if you believe in God or not, all astro physicists say that at the moment of the big bang, the laws of physics broke down. Research it if you want! It's in a Brief History of Time by Hawking.

Basically, any answer to the question i put forward would be as mystical as an answer saying that god did it. So believing in God isn't as irrational as you may think, as with the scientific knowledge we have today, you can't give a rational answer to the question.

Often a goats head is used to symbolize the inverted Pentacle. An image of the Lord in Earth base religion, called the devil by those who believe in Satan. But why are they often seen as low life in the animal world? Is it because of this association and the dispise that the " Major religions" have for Earth Worshiping ones?

ie, is the devil associated with Witches AND Jews, Pagans AND Muslims, Wiccans AND Buddhists?

or do you think that the devil is associated with some but not others? Which ones are associated with the devil to YOU AS A CHRISTIAN and WHY?
I asked this but I perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my previous question.

I mean, some people just need to get the wildness out before they can settle down.
Would you rather they be pressured into Christianity while young, later becoming bitter old codgers that they never got to enjoy life's pleasures? Or would you rather they get it out of their systems?

And no, I'm not talking about letting them commit murder or any other atrocity.

O.K. so christians do get defensive and angry and lash back at some of the questions atheists post. I have noticed though, the large percentage of so-called atheists questions that are there to provoke and attack. You know Why did Jesus...dinosaur..zombie.. cannibal etc. ad nauseum.

Are you hurt and angry by what you percieve as being ignored by god, or is this hate filled rhetoric really the best you got?

I've been reading tarot for fun for a while. And I just wanted to know any other arrangements for the tarot reading. I've only been doing something taught to me by a friend, which seems too simple, but it kind of works sometimes. Anyone know good arrangements (And the meaning of each card placement)?

If there are several ways to translate it into Latin, can you please give them to me? Thank you!

The phrase reads, "A soul unbound, touched by others but never held."

What is your opinion on this?

"This is a message written by Muhammad ibn Abdullah, as a covenant to those who adopt Christianity, far and near, we are behind them. Verily, I defend them by myself, the servants, the helpers, and my followers, because Christians are my citizens; and by Allah! I hold out against anything that displeases them. No compulsion is to be on them. Neither are their judges to be changed from their jobs, nor their monks from their monasteries. No one is to destroy a house of their religion, to damage it, or to carry anything from it to the Muslims' houses. Should anyone take any of these, he would spoil God's covenant and disobey His Prophet. Verily, they (Christians) are my allies and have my secure charter against all that they hate. No one is to force them to travel or to oblige them to fight. The Muslims are to fight for them. If a female Christian is married to a Muslim, this is not to take place without her own wish.

Seriously, I get really frightened when I talk about The Bible at night. No matter how much I pray to God for comfort or even if I go in the presence of family members and loved ones, I still feel really scared after talking about the bible at night. Why is that? For some reason, I feel that when God comes, it will be night time. I don't know. Does anyone else feel like this? What can I do to calm down? Because the only time I really get to read my Bible and talk with others is during the evening hours.

I work supporting people with developmental disabilities. One practice I use is people first language. I support people with autism, not autistic people. I spend time with people in wheelchairs, I eat lunch with people with Down Syndrome, I talk on the phone to people who are blind. I frequently explain this idea to people who have no clue. They ask me if it really matters, or if I am just being PC.

Does it really matter?

Who else is sick of people asking "are atheists better or are christians better?" You can't really generalize about an entire group of people.

I just read a question (i will mention no names) in which a person post a VERY racist question. i went to their Q & A and they ask so many spiritual questions in which they are trying convince atheists that there is a God, hmmm.....I wouldnt want to follow her religion - how can you hate a group of people but follow a GOD that created them. I am just curious, because MY GOD wouldnt approve of this behavior, how about yours?

wrong. When Muslims present the facts about them that they are mislead by Satan and have gone astray and deviated from the true teachings of Prophet Abraham, they burst out. Why they are so admant ?
