Shouldnt we move the Christians to the Mythology & Folklore forum? I mean after all, they are a made up religion witha stolen purpose....doesnt that qualify them as a Myth!!????

BTW, Christians(who i know cant resist answering this q to "correct" me), Give me actuall proof that it says directly in the bible " Thou shall not suffer a witch to live." and be completely honest, i have a Bible right next to me to check ur answers.....

At the end of the day, all we do is of little consquence when we live in a cosmic shooting gallery (and if you can attribute this unfriendly environment to an intelligent being, then that being is the embodiment of evil).

Who/What keeps you motivated to keep going through lifes many obsticles? What advice would you reccomend to someone who's only support is themselves?

My religion keeps me motivated to move further in life , because it's the obsticles that make me stronger and I want to achieve to reach a bigger goal and attain a better reward from Allah (swt)

Thanking in Advance.

Peace.

She is on a spiritual journey with a Christian college group for a couple of months and today she told me that she wanted to just find out what God has in store for her by her self. I was shocked but I let it pass because i am a strong christian also. But I love her and even though I know this question is no I should not fight for this I am looking for answers in the bible that tells me otherwise. Is God controlling her decisions or is she forcing the end of the relationship and using God as an alibi to break it off???
{Only Christians answer this please}

Because I don't recall ever being told that.
I might have seen the monkey to human pictures,
in a text book -- (not sure, it could have been the library)

But none of my teachers ever covered it. I was raised in Ca.

Thanks,

i'm just wondering...every time i see an answer from someone on here, i almost always guess a persons age by if they lean towards the lib or con side of the argument. i know i cant just assume things like that...so i'm asking...what is your age, and do you lean to the left or the right?

My opinion is: I don't know what happens after death....There is nothing that proves life after death - There really isn't anything that disproves it either!!!
We humans tend to think we know everything.....but in truth we are pretty ignorant & choose to stay that way.......I think religion can definitely be a tool of evil BUT I think we should ALL live life as well as we can & be kind to one another (something a lot of christians don't do) as long as someone treats me kindly, I don't care about race, sex, religion, etc.!! Why can't we all at least try to love one another as if all that matters is this life???

How do you all deal with "hypo-Christians"? The ones who quote scripture and go to church at least twice every Sunday, but do the exact opposite of what they say? The vain, greedy, judgmental, materialistic, covetous, avaricious kind of Christians who continue to give you all a bad name?

An often claim made by Christians is that God is not to be tested. Jesus even says this in Matthew 4:7. Yet Gideon tested God in Judges 6:11-23 AND Judges 6:34-40, and yet God never punished Gideon for this. Nowhere is Gideon reprimanded for testing God, despite the fact that apparently it's a BAD thing to do so.

So if God is not supposed to be tested, then why was Gideon allowed to test God?

Can somebody point me to some prophetical biblical scripture that has come true AFTER it was placed in the bible? No preaching, please, just "here's the chapter and verse and it was fulfilled by {an actual event on an actual date}"

A co-worker sits right in back of me and yells out to other clerks things she needs. She's always very loud and seems to want attention. I try to avoid her by always attending to my work. I just wonder if I'm sending out vibes that I'm being anti-social even though it is a work place, but of course everyone stops now and then to chat about family or gossip about other colleagues.

yeah...I know...sounded pathetic to me too :) But what can I tell you guys I was just waiting for the perfect guy...and waited...and waited...and waited. So what would you do If you were me? Should I just go ahead and do it with the next one that comes up? Yeah...I also think it's not a big deal...but you know...some people think that the first time should be with someone special....shouldn't it? Thanks for your comments!

there's a guy here who asks slightly perverted questions. He has a specific fetish and seems to only have the account here to pleasure himself with. Is it wrong to answer his question mockingly? I was told to respond with laughter to flashers (or call them tiny).
I do admit the fact that he has a fetish doesn't bother me as it seems pretty harmless, but I just like poking fun at him. I certainly wouldn't report him since it hardly seems worth it (something I wish others would do, instead of calling in the parents)

So ya think gay is a choice, an unatural choice, well, take this thought for a test drive;

I was watching Animal Planet the other day(Most Extreme to be exact) when it talked about a certain type of animal, the "Whip tail lizard". It said that there were no males in existance in that type of species. Myself wondering how, it explained shortly after, the females could produce fertilized eggs if they only have a gay thing with each other.

So tell me, did these lizards choose to have gay sex with each other, or were they born like this?And its not just these lizards, ive seen many animals like cats, dogs, deer, etc. doind the same thing.....does that mean they are condemned for Hell too....?

Last Sunday, I went to a popular donut shop. It was a father's day and when I entered the shop, one of the crew greeted me with " Happy Father's day to your husband!".

What bugs me(yes, until now) is that I don't have a husband. maybe I look like I have one, it's just a wrong assumtions Whatever reasons he may have, I think it was still impolite for him to assume anything. He could have said Happy Father’s Day to my father instead. Not all women may have a husband but all of us definitely have a father.

Why is there so much disrespect on the topic of religion and beliefs? Can we not be passionate about what we believe, and still be respectful of others? What does arrogance prove?
