Anyone got any that they want to add?

I'll start - that we all have orgies as part of our rites.
that we all are satan worshipers but just don't know it (by the way I find that one hilarious!!!!)

Im Agonostic, and a bit on the agnostic side. Ive changed from Roman Catholic to Satanist to atheist and now agonostic. ive changed some much so fast in the early years of my 1st and 2nd year of High school. So what do you believe in?

God is supposed to be all-loving, but if that were the case, sin wouldn't exist. I believe that if God were truly all-loving, he would forgive even those who don't repent, and destroy Hell altogether and allow all things to enter heaven. (or at least not have Hell be eternal for human souls)

And while I'm at it, I recall part of the story of Jesus(I forget which gospel) where he went to another country that had a different religion than his own, but he didn't tell them to convert, which basically implies that he doesn't care about what we believe in, so long as we treat each other with respect.

IF you think so...why? Because things aren't fully explained?

That's the thing about the Monodei religions(Jewish, Christian, Muslim). We're not suppossed to know the full truth until we ger into Heaven.

So, knowing that, what is your reasoning for believing the bible is fiction?

No stupid answers like "because I said so" or something dumb to that effect. I want reasonable, well explained, answers.

My girl and I are experiencing some major sex issues, meaning she's really not performing all too well. This happened after our sex talk with the minister at our church. We are raised Christians and are very devout in our faith. We're both part of the Holy Christian American Youth Alliance.

The minister claims it's wrong and we should repent for our sins. To tell you the truth I only believe him partially as I did not read anywhere in the Bible that says couples shouldn't have and enjoy sex. It goes completely against the Christian faith as how can we procreate if we don't regularly consummate our relationship.

My delimma now is that I don't know how to make her hot again during our lovemaking? This might tear us apart as I don't want to end up getting some on the side and still be with her. Please help, any suggestions if you're going through the same thing? Peace!

I know the term Rapture and the 2nd Coming , please explain it for me, I am not clear on it. I just know bits and pieces.

I have heard of the term Mehdi(spelling??) that Shiites believe in but what is it Is it unique only to Shi'ites ? Do Sunnis have any beliefs similar to it? Please explain the concept of it.

I am comparing and contrasting Christian and Muslim 'end of times' beliefs. Please help me out

Does he like having people tell him how great he is because of low self esteem?

Maybe god just needs a hug... he's sensitive you know. sending the non-believers to hell is work that you never really get thanks for.

I'm just wondering, because i recently converted to christianity and i'm not exactly sure what mainstream christians believe on this topic. In my old church, they taught that we'd become gods and have our own spirit children to populate our worlds that we would create and rule. (crazy mormons...i know) Serious answers please...thanks!

Black on White Rapes:
There are 20,000 black-on-white rapes every year in the US, but fewer than 100 white-on-black rapes.

Blacks are seven times more likely than people of other races to commit murder, and eight times more likely to commit robbery.


Does presenting facts make me a "racist" ??

Even if its a fact??

I think I am just in reality.

What say you??

I was reading the Bible and I understand that God created Adam and Eve. I understand that they had 2 children Cain & Abel...Cain murdered Abel...It goes on to say that Cain knew his wife and bore Enoch...my question here is who was Cain's wife and where did she come from...wasnt Eve the only woman on earth at the time. Does one think that parts of the Bible have been omitted? It was just a question I had....Thanks & God Bless!

The Church Gossip... and small town gossip works this way as well.

Mildred, the church gossip and self-appointed monitor of the church's
morals, kept sticking her nose in to other people's business.

Several members did not approve of her extracurricular activities,
but feared her enough to maintain their silence.

She made a mistake, however, when she accused George, a new member, of
being an alcoholic after she saw his old pickup parked in front of the
town's only bar one afternoon.

She emphatically told George (and several
others) that everyone seeing it there would know what he was doing.

George, a man of few words, stared at her for a moment and just turned
and walked away. He didn't explain, defend, or deny... he said
nothing.

Later that evening, George quietly parked his pickup in front of
Mildred's house... walked home... and left it there all night.

You gotta love George

The Qu'ran does speak differently saying Adam your first prophet sinned and was forgiven.. Muhammad was instructed to pray for forgiveness...Muhammad's pryer in the Hadirths he prayed for forgivenss and it is said he prayed many times a day for forgiveness...I think because Chrsit is perfect and ony God is perfect that Muslims attempt to make all prophets sinless...Christ is perfect only because he is the Son of God and a part of the whole of God and only God is perfect. Christ was perfect for a reason in the Bible he is the Son of God who atoned for sin. Only God could fufill the law only he is righteous and without sin.

"There is NOTHING from without a man, that entering into him can defile him" - Mark 7.
JESUS SAID THERE IS "NOTHING" NOT "NO FOOD"

Corinthians 7:7-9
7-For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.
8-I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.
9-But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."

He wanted men to be single like him, BUT EVERY MAN HAS HIS GIFT FROM GOD(Bi/straight/gay)

1 Samuel 20:41 - They are "David and Jonathan"
" . . . they kissed one another, and wept one with another . . . "

To make sure you don't miss the sexual aspect, the love is compared (favorably, by the way) with the love of a woman. ---------------------

I hear that the NASB is so close to the Greek that those who study Greek Theology use it instead of the actual Greek. All mature comments appreciated.

I know the religion is basically in Utah. My twin sister told me that Mormons are racists & they are pretending to be nice & befriending black people to come to their church so that the black people can be their slaves in heaven.

Also, I have a Black Mormon friend, & he experiences racism inside his church, so I don't know.

if possible the most frightening thing that happened to you or someone realy close to you, but if you can't think of one then something more public is fine.
The most frightening thing that i can think of is when I was out at a lake with my mentally challenged cousin and a friend.
i was on my way to swim out to a little island, but my cousin followed me and went in ahead of me.
i knew he wouldn't be able to make it so i went after him.
he swam as far and fast as he could so he burnt out a good way out in the water.
i called him back but he was tired so i was dragging him back but he panicked and was climbing all over me and squezing my neck.
he's easily more than twice my size
in short
my cousin was going to drown and there was nothing i could do. He would die and I would have to watch.
waving to boats for help didn't work... they just waved back...
he jumped off me onto my friend.
that was memorial day and we almost died same as Steve Irwin did
i could say more but 0 left

Our debate is that to read the King James version of the bible, there is no mention of rain before Noah's flood. There is water in various forms. But not actual rain that is falling, or has fallen from the sky. A friend suggests that just because it is not mentioned doesn't mean it did not exist. It is also suggested that the translation from Hebrew to English might be the cause of the omition of the words rain or raining or any word or words that would describe what we would call rain. Could it say rain in a Jewish bible?
