It seems there are more and more non-believers, such as myself

and why do you think so many people dont believe?
i think its due to all of the scientific discoveries...

Just so you know i am not a bad person for not believing in a god
i have good morals and am a caring guy

I respect all opinions expressed in answering my question
because i have been raised as a Catholic

We all know he is bi-racial. But on most government documents when info on race is requested, there is usually just the main choices. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Other

Now if Tiger was arrested, what box do you think the police would check in their reports? What about Barack Obama? Alicia Keyes? Halle Berry?

that God created a great chasm between Heaven and Hell? There is no way they can bother us once we are in Heaven and we can not listen to them whine and cry about how they really hate God then.

*Metaphorically speaking...

I'm talking about those type of messages that only give you the warm/loving side of God...without also informing (in a loving manner ofcourse) the consequences of our sin.

Before anyone says it...Let me just say: I believe in bringing forth the (FULL) gospel message in a gentle and loving manner...not forcing people. However, I don't agree with sugar coating it so much that it ends up rotting your teeth (another metaphor) or in other words neglecting to educate unbelievers on the other side of it.

You know...the whole "preach Heaven, but don't dear mention Hell" mentality.


(I'm just wondering if I am the only Christian who believes both sides need to be brought forth.)

For instance, I'm afraid of mirrors in the dark. Unless I cover the mirror in my room, I can't sleep.

she hugged me for a while like 15 seconds. she said take care in her low gentle voice... then she squeezed me briefly...it kinda hurt.. then she turned her back on me, never giving eye contact, even as she shut the door...she was leaving for good. she was saying take care as she walks away with her back turned to me...

shes around 10 years my senior...she was sort of my supervisor....despite my name vincent, im female...uhm, no dirty ideas..but what does that mean when she didnt give me eye contact even?

as she closes the door carefully, there wasnt even a smile, but she wasnt looking back at me...

shes a very nice person, very thoughtful..shed praise me when i did a good job..i just sort of felt 'snubbed' when i wasnt looked back at...

Do the gifts of telepathy, precognitive ability, healing abilities, and any other "psychic gifts" -- do these have a moral imperative?-- By that I mean, are they a direct result of a connection to God or are they the natural abilities of the brain that some people have the ability to utilize? -- Everyone welcome to answer, regardless of your beliefs or religion!

For people who think that hell is not real, why when death is knocking on the door, they believe not only there is a GOD of wrath but also lake of unquenchable fire?

This is a struggle for a gay male, how do people feel about it? It can be so risky, but then there are precautions, but nothing is guaranteed. Any thoughts?

Well, I will answer my own question and tell you... Besides asking nutty (ok, branny!) questions and completely baffling other categories here, I love the UNITY we all share. For a few minutes we out aside our differences and do something together, collectively and as a community. That is a beautiful thing to see. For that little while we forget that we are Muslim, Christian or atheist, etc... and enjoy something together. Thanks for that, for seeing me for who I am and not for my religion, even if for a short time. Blessed be.

Oh- to make this a REAL question, what do you like most about raids?

Jesus demonstrated how wrong the Laws of Moses were-eg--an "eye for an eye" was wrong,"giving your enemy no peace" was wrong,stoning an adulteress to death was wrong etc--so why do Christians associate their God with the monster of a deity that the Jews created???

All religions are not the same.

Some religions are scarcely even believed anymore (Christianty) while others deeply believed by the entirety of its followers (Islam). Some religions simply emphasize mediation and awareness (Buddhism) whiles others believe in a hands on violent spread of their doctrines (Islam).

Many ignorant people claim that we cannot judge "Islam" by the actions of Islamists. This claim might be the most insane of all human history.

Not only should we judge a religion by the actions of its followers, we should use this as the primary means of judging it.

All truth is revealed by action. In other words, if your wife says she loves you, but cheats on you all the time and puts slow poison in your food, the truth is not what she writes on hallmark cards, but its in what she does.

Of course in Islam, you have both. You have a history of genocide. Almost all armed conflict today is Islamic and the Quran explicitly gives warrant to all this horror.

Did you know that the Quran says that Allah/God counts the tears of a wife when her husband is mistreating her, and that Allah/God hears her complaints against her husband? Did you know that for every so called muslim man that oppresses his wife, violates her rights, rapes her, forces her into unwanted marriages, and only sees her as property, he will be given a bad deed and on Judgment Day any good he may have done will be transferred to him while any bad she did in response to his mistreatment will be transferred to him? In other words, the men you see abusing their wives are destined for hell because they ignore Islam, which says men may not harm women and that you are to give your wife equal to or better than what you give to yourself.

What do you think of this fact?

even those who believe in God or Gods ...do you believe in ghost? Do you believe maybe not everyone makes it to the "other side". Can a person who hasn't solved something still be floating around. Do you believe there are angels protecting certain people. What does the bible say all about this?
