I am not bragging or anything, but if you gave me 6000 years I'd come up with something a lot better than this..
Or do the deluded crowd just use that 'one day' thing to cover up the fact that they have been waiting for Jesus to show up for 2000 years?

I've heard that some people are against using contraception, and I want to know the reasoning behind this. For some, they believe that using the pill still kills the fetus right when it's conceived. But that still wouldn't rule out condoms--with a condom contraception never begins. I can't use birth control except condoms--the females in my family get very sick from the pill, shots and such. As soon as he can, my fiance is getting a vasectomy to insure that we don't have kids.

If no one had birth control, there would be an even bigger problem of overpopulation. Would all the people against contraception be willing to adopt all of the extra kids that would suddenly be out there if we got rid of all contraception?

I'm adopting, I sure don't want to contribute to an overpopulated Earth. So why say no contraception? What is so bad about choosing to not have kids? Or for that matter, choosing to have kids when you're ready instead of being scared, young, and without enough money?

A fellow, whose question is still open to answers, has posted something that I find disturbing which is calling on Muslims to pray to God to curse Christians.

Whether you're an Atheist who doesn't believe in God, so therefore no curse, (I know you'll say that as an answer) or a Christian, I'd like your honest opinion.

The point I'm trying to make or get confirmed is whether this post sounds like hatred from one religious belief towards another? What are your thoughts?

Tonight from 10pm, I will be at my Church and taking part in an all night prayer vigil for people from our Church, people from our area, people in the UK, people of the world. It will carry on until 10am Sunday, when we go directly into the Sunday service and have a session of healing prayer.
We will obviously have many things to pray for but if you are seriously needing prayer, please e-mail me your 'needs' and I will pray for them tonight.
God does provide for our needs (not our wants necessarily but our needs) so please keep it sensible.
I also realise that there are many sceptics on Yahoo answers who will criticise or ridicule the whole thing but to you I say...God Bless you with wisdom to see His truth, not your own.
Last time we did the vigil, God saw fit to heal a personal friend of mine in the Sunday service following the vigil so Gods Love, Compassion, mercy...and above all Grace was really evident.
Best wishes, Mike.

Dr Zakir Naik in one of his lectures said that Madrasas (Islamic religious schools) do not promote terrorism. I am fond of his lectures but the religious school at Lal Masjid in Pakistan is the greatest proof that religious schools do promote terrorism. There were lot of arms and ammo found in Lal Masjid. They also kidnapped some Chinese women. Islam is a religion of peace but the fundamentalist in United Kingdom are giving wrong message to the Muslim youth in Britian. I would like to know your views about this?

Why not feed them at home (they can scream your own house down and not disturb others.) Wait until they know how to behave before taking them on a plane and make sure they do (I've seen/heard many older kids having tantrums/singing sessions on planes where their parents don't even try to stop them).

all the Christian end time sites that I look at all have some version of the seven year tribulation. I would like to find a Christian site that doesn't include a 7 year tribulation in the end times so i can make up my own mind as to whether it will happen or not

Did Jesus say about original sin - quote the verses.

Who gave you this funny idea in spite of disapproval in Old Testament; that Father is not responsible for the sins of his son / daughter and vise vesa!!

i was just cruising around reading questions i found interesting, and i came across questions of when its appropriate for guys to be shirtless in public. and the majority of responses were people saying its tasteless and never, and even stuff as crazy as a guy mowing the lawn with his shirt off and his dad made him cover up. i mean, i live in america, i dont know where that stuff was coming from, but am i crazy in knowing for a fact that theres nothing wrong with guys being shirtless period. yes no one wants to see a gnarley beer belly, but the point is when you go to the beach and your in the equivilent of boxers of special material around a million people as opposed to walking off the beach and down the street back to your house and mowing your lawn, uhhhh the fact is your still on this planet called earth, how are people so set in thinking that stuff. guys get to pee standing in full view and take shirts off, girls dont. what is wrong with everyone. mowing your lawn? gimme a break.

Are you one who thinks that they deserve it as they chose that way of life, or do you feel that we should be doing more to help them?
