I dont know who is right, seventh day adventists or normal sunday church goers...
I've heard that when Jesus died on the cross, alll the rules changed but then It one of the commandments to keep the sabath day holy, if that changed then everything else must change, cause God keeps his word

No matter how you view it BC, AD or BCE, CE all revovles around thetime Dionysus established for the Christian calender that revolves around the birth of Christ. Or do athiest need to establish a new callender? You know Muslim nations have an Islamic callender? China has their own Calender. I just think the whole BCE and CE is just funny.

I was wondering if in a discussion about clothes if your son asked their parent if they could wear colored underwear? Has he ever said that my friend wears all these cool colors and I want to wear colored briefs? Did you say that when we go to the store you can pick what colors you want to wear? Did you say anything to encourage his decision? Have you seen your son in underwear before putting on his pants? Have you commented and said cool underwear?

I want to leave (well I sorta already left) my church. I don't want to leave God or Christianity. I simply want to explore other Christian churches. My pastor calls me and bugs me and says it's God will that I stay there, but I have bad feelings about the church and I desperately don't want to be there anymore. Am I going against God by going against a pastor, and where does it stay you have to stay in one church in the Bible?

I think it would make our life much easier, that way parents like mine would never worry about me marrying some white man and the English dont have to pretend to be tolerant, they could keep their race pure. It would make life much easier, its already practised, lets make it official, hence it would prevent any ethnic tensions and make English happy as well.

'Dogma demands authority, rather than intelligent thought, as the source of opinion; it requires persecution of heretics and hostility to unbelievers; it asks of its disciples that they should inhibit natural kindliness in favor of systematic hatred.

What is the philosophy behind those people who do NOT capitalize the first letters of their names. For instance, they identify themselves as john smith. There is a reason and I believe I knew it once but it escapes me now. Thank you!

Is is possible to discount the miracle of Creation, but somehow accept the miracle of Jesus' physical return to life after His death on the Cross?

I am in my early teens and i am going to japan for a month over the summer on an exchange program. I'm kinda scared of what everyone will think of me. Will people dislike me because i'm american, or because i can't speak japanese? I also heard that because i have blond hair and blue eyes, i will be very noticable. Will people always be looking at me?

when i say "the japanese" i'm talking about japanese people in general.

thx

Many answerers seem to focus on getting points,
rather than: with all thy getting, get understanding.

Is it not preposterous order to teach or preach first,
and learn after if destroyed is afterward in Jude 5?

Did Canada, Germany, France and the Netherlands campaign more/differently than the United States to gain Equal Marriage Rights. Do you know if they campaigned more to educate people about this issue or do you think that the anti-gay/religious groups were not as powerful as they are in the US 'defending' traditional marriage.

I used to be "militantly" anti-gay, then I realized I was just terrified someone would think I was gay, so I would bash them all the time and crap. Then I dropped the mask and quit caring what people thought.

But what about Lucy? This most recent discovery in Africa is being heralded by many as a true transitional form, typically a replacement for the outmoded australopithecines. Could this be hasty judgment? Let's examine the evidence. Lucy is a partial fossil skeleton, about the size of a chimpanzee, supposedly female, discovered by paleontologist Dr. Donald Johanson on November 30, 1974, in Hadar, Ethiopia. It is more complete than most fossil finds in that about 40 percent of the bones of the body have been recovered.

The age is "estimated" to be 3.2 million years. The find includes a V-shaped jaw, part of hip and large bones, and other assorted bones with very little skull fragments.2 There were other finds at the same location, other skulls and U-shaped jawbones.

What evidence makes this creature a transitional form? According to Dr. Johanson, she walked upright! Her brain size is still small, ape-like in proportion, and most of the other features are predominantly ape-like.

I mean, c'mon people. You see what's happening in the middle east. How can we subject ourselves to this kind of violent thought. It is this misunderstanding that breeds evil. Not the Bible, not a godless soul. I may be sounding a little naiive, but what if.....what if...we could discuss our differences in mature, and might I argue, more approriate setting?

What if we could make the planet a friendlier or more cohesive place?

After all.... isn't that god would have wanted?

and if there is no god, then it's up to us to make the world better....isn't it?
