Has anyone really reseached this, and found if this is true? I have even heard it is in the bi-laws or the Baptist church, that Christmas should not be celebrated, and that it should never be found inside the church.

I saw this picture once of a girl behind a wooden stand, and on the wooden stand there was a sign that said, "kisses 25 cents" and underneath it somebody superimposed, "bl0wjobs $10" Can somebody find this or a similar picture for me?

PS: it was NOT a comic strip/cartoon/drawing, it was a real picture.

If a hermaphrodite had sex with itself, would that be considered masturbation or loosing your virginity?

Have you tried to understand people of other faiths by starting an open dialogue?

My best friend passed away ten days ago. She is my world, and I have been lost without her. We did not live in the same area of the country and I can't help but wonder if it is even possible for her to be with me and be with her family at the same time? Of course, my spiritual beliefs have been crushed by this- she was taken from us suddenly & I am lost. But even still, I am so worried about her and hope she is okay. I am also worried that she can't be with me and her family at the same time.

I know she knew how much I love her, but I just do not know if it is possible for her to be with her family and with me at the same time since we live thousands of miles apart. Anyone have any ideas on this? Please and thanks.

How, and why?

It's an open question. I'm interested in what lies beyond logic and proof for R&S regulars.

Who will you serve?? Whill you serve a False god or will you serve a True and Living God? Christ Jesus. The ONLY one to God the Father. Without Him to bridge that gap, you will be in hell or seperated from God and all things that He created FOREVER AND EVER!! Don't believe me? Why take the chance? don't gamble with your soul. except the free gift of salvation and ask Jesus to come into your Life and to forgive you of your sins. it is very easy!!!!

Do you think this also was to be applied to modern times? I would like to hear from anyone who has experienced a miracle! May the Lord bless you!

The Vatican itself has a lower percent than that. (about 12%) If all those people believe in such a fallacy, then isn't there a danger that they could be convinced to believe in other ridiculous things. (like if the government tried to use god to justify the taking away of our inalienable rights)Thoughts? (Please don't use this question to simply insult religions. Atheists can provide their answers and religious can provide theirs, we don't need to be constantly trying to insult each other)

IN israel there is this cave, its not near any body of water. People believe adam and eve's bodies are in there. No one will go near the cave because people claim to hear things when they get close enough (this includes one atheists that i personally know)

do you think there is really something in the cave or its just hype?

I'm not asking for specific issues ... just republican, democrat, libertarian, anarchist, communist, socialist, feminist, green (etc) will do.

My question is for Christians to answer (I hope I'm not discriminating anyone)..Christians will most likely know the answer to my question.

I've been going to church for quite a while...15 years to be exact. I'm 19 years old now.

This is what i've noticed..There are so many fake Christians..I am somewhat devote to God, and I am very proud of it. I love the teachings and the moral of our religion. However, I sometimes wonder if being a Christian is good or not (hope that makes sense).

I've met many pastor kids who are jerks and selfish (I don't like to judge people, but this is my opinion abt. them). Not only them, but others as well.

Therefore, I begin to doubt my faith..These fake Christians make me sick. They read the Bible, and they are soooo judgmental. Now, I am aware that they are human, but don't they listen to any moral lessons??? They really discourage me to become a Christian. My faith is not stable because of them. Hope that makes sense.

What do u think?

Anytime I go over to someone's house I ring the door bell, they always just say "come in" or "doors unlocked", instead of walking up to the door to answer it. What ever happed to the days when people actually answered the doorbell when it rang?

2007-06-17 17:42:14 · 21 answers · asked by Heron By The Sea 7 in Religion & Spirituality

It is a book of stories which have moral messages at the end. I respect the idea of it. How can you believe that Noah built an ark big enough to fit 2 of every creature on this earth? Or that Moses parted the red sea? Or that Jesus rose from the dead? It is all fiction. It is an interesting read. That is the extent of it. I believe good things would happen if Christians took the Bible less literally.
