Do you butt in and say something positive, negative, or what?
I would say something to my closest friends, neighbors if they were to do it. Like to get them to stop but I feel its a losing battle. And I got this thing for some reason about saving the world.

I can never bring myself to speak about something before it's over, such as I couldn't say "I did great at the job interview, I'm sure I'll get it"

LOL! I have NO idea why this is......

Daniel 1:1-2
"(1) In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it. (2) The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasury of his god."



Why did God permit the king Nebuchadnezzar to keep captive Jerusalem? What did Jehoiakim king of Judah do wrong or what did the Jews do wrong? Please provide your answer with Biblical verses.

Scroll down to the bottom of the site to the list, and tell me if you have noticed those differences between them. I’ve noticed a few.

Many Christians accept the Muslim claim that we both worship the same God. They claim that they call him Allah, while we call him God. It is not unusual to hear Christian leaders make such statements. Bible societies have even gone so far as to use the name Allah in the Bibles they produce for Arab Christians.

The problem with this is two-fold. First, history and archeology show clearly that Allah was worshipped as a pagan moon god long before Mohammed came on the scene. Robert Morey, author of The Islamic Invasion, explains:

"Islam's origins have been traced back by scholars to the ancient fertility religion of the worship of the moon god which was always the dominant religion of Arabia. The moon god was worshipped by praying toward Mecca several times a day, making an annual pilgrimage to the Kabah which was a temple of the moon god, running around the Kabah seven times, caressing an idol of a black stone set in the wall of the Kabah, running between two hills, making animal sacrifices, gathering on Fridays for prayers, giving alms to the poor, etc. These were pagan rites practiced by the Arabs long before Muhammad was born."

"What religion today practices the pagan rites of the moon god? Islam! This explains why the crescent moon is the symbol of Islam. It is placed on top of mosques and minarets and displayed on hats, flags, rugs, amulets and even jewelry. Every time you see the Muslim symbol of a crescent moon, you are seeing the ancient symbol of the moon god."

Second, if you read the Qur'an's description of Allah, and read the Bible's description of God, it becomes obvious you are reading about two different persons. Allah orders his followers to kill those who deny Islam, while God instructs us to love our enemies. Allah had no son while God sent His Son to die for sinful men. Allah is "unknowable" while God seeks a personal relationship with His creation, man.

The spirit behind Islam is an entirely different spirit... a spirit that denies the deity of Jesus Christ. Any Christian who accepts the notion that Allah is God creates an impossible situation. Since the Qur'an contains our only revelation about Allah, they will be forced to look there as their authority. The Qur'an specifically denies the deity of Christ! All Christian witness ends right there.

For more information, read "Islamic Invasion" by Robert Morey.

I was either in socks or barefoot, would you think that is just wierd or would you just think, hey whatever floats your boat. Reason I ask is because I hate shoes. I've hated them since grade school and can't stand to wear them. I'm ok with sandals sometimes but they still tend to annoy me and I'm just more comfortable without anything on my feet. So are most people in this country ok with that or do most people just find it wierd to see someone in public in there socks or barefeet?

Why so many talk of a peace where their is no War and no hate. I find it funny sometimes because those Who talk of such things are mostly the ones with the most hate and judgemental mind-set.

When you mention this people think of cults, and Tom Cruise. But, does anybody attend one or know more about it and could give me some real info ? I prefer un-biased opinions.

... can he/she still be considered Christian?

Such as, believing that going to Church on Sunday is sufficient when Christianity is supposed to work through them every minute of their life.

By no means is this an attack on Christianity, it could happen to any believer of any causes but I happen to be reading on Christianity.

If Atheism is the belief that there is no God- and that is the foundation of their belief, then is Atheism considered a religion since religions usually have a belief in a divine power? Or is the term religion here implied to mean a belief in anything, and not just a divinity?

Don't get me wrong- I'm not shallow and wouldn't break up with a guy for this. Nor do I want to change who he is or make him uncomfortable. However, my boyfriend ALWAYS wears t-shirts and jeans/shorts. ALWAYS. Even when we go on dates or to nicer things (like a musical) he wears t-shirts (with a hoodie if it's cold). Never a long sleeve shirt. Never a polo shirt. It drives me nuts! I dress up for him when we go on dates, but he never dresses up for me. How do I tell him I want him to...well...look nicer?

All religions are welcome provided they follow the basic rule: that the member is guided by reason and logic. Atheists are also commonly found in this group since it does not imply any deity. Is this what religion will become when they can no longer deny scientific evidence?

I accept total numbers/estimates of the whole state and also of your city or county.

And if you say "too many!", then I will report you. I'm looking for serious answers here.

If God exists/existed, I doubt it would have a human gender. Wouldn't that be simply pointless? And the implications of being a certain sex...

If you believe god is male (or female), do you think 'he' would have to have the neceassary chromosomes...or merely the sexual organs?

Just wondering...it makes no sense. But most beliefs don't, so why am I surprised?
