What is the meaning of "drinks" as an answer to a dumb question? Sometimes I feel like I need a drink after reading some of these questions, is that what we mean?

Since I'm Muslim, I wear sandals alot, but I live in Florida, so everyone does. It feels really comfortable, but people think I do because it's religious for Muslims to wear sandals. Where do people get the religious idea?

Do they not belong with man?

Would not their existence prove once for all that Mormonism is truth?

God allowed the Jews to carry the 10 commandments for several centuries in their original physical form, written by the finger of God Himself!

I was brought up Catholic but knew nothing about it. Since I started studying all different forms of Christianity I don't know what to call myself but a Jesus loving girl! I want to change my lifestyle (partying, and living the typical college life) but have no support from the people around me who told me that I was Catholic and there was no other way. This is one of the most difficult things I have ever faced but want to learn and experience so much more through the Lord. PLEASE HELP ME! The man I'm with now is the one I want to marry but he only knows me as the college party girl who goes to church on Sundays to repent what happened that week. Additionally, he's atheist and so is my father. What should I do besides pray until I can't pray anymore?!

Shes has the catchiest and coolest name on R&S. Her cute and snarky quips stick-out amongst a flood of stupidity.

Whether your atheist or not, you must admitt that shes our monarch. Bow down religionists...bow down to your Princess.

We have issued the following rules, to be observed by all religionists in the room:

---- Kingdom Proclaimations ----

The use of the words "sl_t" and "wh_re" and "c..." etc, carry the punishment of tar and feathering, after which the religionist shall confess its insecurities and use of religion to villify the female sex drive such that insecure little men (imagine a Mullah) can have a chance to beat-out the Alpha male (me) with a stupid religious song and dance.

All insecure religionists who insist on a society were men and woman are separated; where womans genitalia are removed to relieve insecure little guys of the ardeous duty of pleasing woman, shall be castrated, ending the whole problem that THEY have.

Wouldn't you think that if Christianity could do ANYTHING at all, it could keep the divorce rate down among its own membership? Nonetheless, divorce among the "born again" is as high or higher than any other group.

What reason can you give me not to use this information as evidence supporting the conclusion that Christianity is simply a mass delusion?

This data came from the Barna research group, a conservative Christian research organization. Here's the reference for the data, in case you're skeptical:

I am studying to be a Jehovah Witness (not one yet), my fiance is atheist, my dad is a jehovah witness but my mom isn't. The rest of my family are different branches of Christianity. How does Jehovah feel if I have a non-denomination minister? Will that be rude to him or showing disrepect? Is there somewhere in the scriptures I can be directed to?

I have been thinking a lot lately. Origin of life, religion, God, this world.. you know there comes a time when a person needs to define them self and not go by there parents definition for them.. Anyway and so I was sitting and and my mom, brothers, and mom and dad were all in living room and generally we have small talk about religion or day to day stuff and I never talk about stuff I think but today I told them the Surat in Quran that says how God said we made life from water but it also says that Adam and Eve were born in heaven! Also about God's will and freedom of will or choice. My told me to stop thinking but is not it natural to think? Is not is human nature to want to know about universe! I know there might be some things we can't hope to understand but to switch off your brain?
I am confused! HELP

To make such a statement you would have to have complete knowledge and to have been everywhere in the universe.

Maybe God dwells somewhere in the universe you don’t know of or have not been to?

Is that possible?

can you please pray to heal anyone of cancer and it will be done as Jesus promised in: Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16.
Thank you?
I notice Jesus did not say "wait" he did not say the answer is "no". He said anything will be done for you.
So you with so much faith should be able to ask anything and it will be done right?
Again Jesus said it several times no getting around about 8 quotes from the Master himself?
Actually no need but can you please explain why prayer does not work as Jesus said?

Why would he include the books of Chronicles? Philemon? Song of Solomon? These books are, to be blunt useless. They are not, in any way, spiritually edifying or uplifting. What lessons can be learned from them? Why would an all-knowing creator put them in his Bible?

Thank you for your time.

I can just think of something only,

To more mature/better person ( Omnipotent God could not create full matured ? )
To test faith ( Omniscience God needs to test ? )

And by the way,
Does God use the test result to give you better position in Heaven ?
