Honestly, have you ever caught yourself praying to a God that you do not believe exists. Either in time of trouble (Help God) or when something good happens (Thank God) . Or cursing a God you believe does not exist. God D*** it! or JESUS CHRIST!!!!!

If you know someone else is buying, what do you typically order? The most expensive item on the menu? Or do you go light?

A man has a boy, loves him, raises him in a very nice home with huge garden. Boy loves his father and respects him. But the father has some strict rules. For example, boy shouldn't eat apples from trees while they are protected by poison. One day young boy pulls an apple from the tree and ate. He had a pain in his stomach but won't die. Father understands what happened and got angry. Boy tells to father that a friend of him told apples can be eaten from trees. Father gets very angry as boy listen to friend but not him. Immediately puts him out of the house. Shouts with anger: You live on the street and learn who you should listen. Young boy is alone. He expects few days later father forgives and take him back. Never happens. Father always refuses. Boy grows on street in a misserable, terrible life. But finally he gets a job and a decent life, marries but even his childrens are refused by his father. All this time boy never loose his love to father...

Obviously I would never drop it on someone who had their hands full, or a mother with little kids, or an old person. It drives me nuts, though, when people don't say "Thanks", or even give you a smile. Especially when going through double doors, I've been known to drop the doors in people's faces. What do you think- should I hold it anyway, or do they deserve it? What do you do?

If what deepak teaches is truth, shouldn't we have the mind power to make our bodies and not age? or make our eyes color change? If we conciously control our bodies, why can't we stop hair loss by internal dialog comanding our bodies not to lose hair?

Start the trend, say something nice in your answer to this question,

this isn't to say friendly sarcasm is wrong or bad, just that malicious sarcasm is so unneccessary and you know what I'm talking about.

I'd like to hear what Xians and non think?


"To what extent are you influenced by Christianity?"

"As a child, I received instruction both in the Bible and in the Talmud. I am a Jew, but I am enthralled by the luminous figure of the Nazarene."


"You accept the historical existence of Jesus?"

"Unquestionably. No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life. How different, for instance, is the impression which we receive from an account of legendary heroes of antiquity like Theseus. Theseus and other heroes of his type lack the authentic vitality of Jesus."

"Ludwig Lewisohn, in one of his recent books, claims that many of the sayings of Jesus paraphrase the sayings of other prophets."

"No man," Einstein replied, "can deny the fact that Jesus existed, nor that his sayings are beautiful. Even if some them have been said before, no one has expressed them so divinely as he."

Since we don't believe in hell why do you think we are afraid of it? When you tell us we will be held accountable for our words, to whom are we to be held? If you do realize that your threats have no bearing on us then why do you make them? Are you just being mean?

Everyday I come here ... and everyday I see narrow minded questions and answers ... people who slate other people for their beliefs and for their sexuality ... dont you think that people should be able to think and feel however they want to without being made to feel wrong or dirty? ... I am a 30 year old lesbian and have been subjected to so much abuse and narrow mindedness since I came out 13 years ago .. and when I see other people being slated and the unfeeling comments that some people make here it grates right on my nerves ... I guess I must be one of the few people here that think about how other people feel and will react to certain narrow minded comments ... people are who they are ... they are entitled to believe and feel what they want without being belittled for it ... and be subjected to homophobic and narrowmindedness ... come on guys this is the 21st century after all!!!!!!!!!

I am a bridesmaid in my good friend's wedding that is coming up in October. The maid of honor asked me to host the bridal shower at my new home. I do not want to do this because the groom's family a good majority (including his mother) have been to jail, have constant problems with the law, and they aren't the classiest people. My husband and I don't socialize with these types of people due to the fact he is in law enforcement and I know my husband will get mad if I ask him.
What is an appropriate way to turn down the maid of honor's request?

I don't really believe that there are any psychics out there. However, I know that there are a few people out there who claim to be psychics, so I was wondering if they had the "answer" to this question. :)

I've noticed lately a big jump in "Why are Christians so rude?", "Why are Atheists so rude?"

Doesn't anybody realize that we are all humans first and foremost? We are all prone to getting upset and saying stupid stuff. We are all susceptable to "foot in mouth" disease. Are most of us here for an adult discusson on matters or Religion and Spirituality or are there more trolls in here looking for attention? What do you think?

do you actually think you are posing a question not already posed by countless theologians?

2007-06-27 03:44:34 · 17 answers · asked by Quantrill 7 in Religion & Spirituality

I believe it is the word of God, however, it was written in a different time period and culture. For instance, there are scriptures that talk about women covering their heads and being silent in church yet if you go to a majority of churches (in the U.S.) that isn't happening...does that mean the women are sinning? Also, it talks about not defiling your body because it is the temple of the Holy Spirit, yet many men and women have pierced ears and tattoos. To me these and other scriptures, just show us that the Bible is more of a guide to living and being more Christlike...not a literal word-for-word playbook. Any thoughts?

Dear Atheist,
I ask you with all due respect. Take you time, and think about my question first, because some might jump in and answer in haste.
If you don't believe in God. Why do many of you continue to ask and speak of what God like, dislikes and wants, if you don't believe that He even exist?

for example check the response in this question:
quote: "It seems God hates intelligence. "

I am not preaching anything, nor ever well, but ever wonder why so many of you speak of God and yet don't believe in God? Are you just use God against others? or is there another reason!

Respectfully to All
