They never seem to go hand in hand... or do they?

Is one just a biproduct of the other?

The greatest story ever told...?
One Y/A user gave this as an answer today:
------------
its a half-decent work of fiction
one dimensional characters
and poorly crafted plot
------------

Do you agree that as a literary work the bible isn't a hot property?

It sells a lot of copies - what's up with that?

I have more respect for those who say that faith is the reason they believe, or because of some other, personal reason. But science and logic are the very things that tell you how very unlikely it is that god exists, there is no way that a creationist can come up with more scientific evidence than an evolutionist, otherwise creationism would be taught in school instead of evolution. So why humiliate yourselves? Why not just argue that god is seperate from science and logic and save your dignity, instead of trying to out-smart scientists and getting yourselves laughed at? Why not just stick with the whole "faith" thing and accept that god cannot be proved scientifically?

For those of you that are familiar with the Frontiersman Camping Fellowship ministry or the Royal Ranger ministry, we held our Territorial Rendezvous this week. And I am so blessed that God was there. There was a great time of prayer after the council fires, and the Spirit of God fell. One evening when the speaker started to speak of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and pentecost the wind began to blow as it did in the upper room, and there was nothing that I could do but fall on my face and praise God. Even as it began to rain and there was no one else down at the council fire area I still laid there in tears because I couldn't get up for the Spirit of the Lord was too heavy on me. But enough about what I did this week, what has God done for you? I hope that the Lord has blessed you.

Just want to know-

I've often heard (and from what I've seen, it does seem) that praying to Mary is an important part of your religion. Are there places (not necessarily at Church) where people sing to Mary, kiss statues of her, or kneel to (or bow) in front of a statue of her (I assume this would be done while praying to her)? I've heard that happens, but have you (as a Catholic) personally ever heard of or seen this? What would you think of that kind of behavior?

This question is directed towards all of the people making blanket statements about people on Y!A? I.E. "Why do ALL Christians..." "Why do all white men..." "Why do all black women..." And so on...

Does it occur to you that not all of these people are that way? Are you not meaning to say it in that way? Or do you really believe that they are all the same?

Nostradamus had predicted the two Antichrists Napoleon and Hitler who are Christians and Charismatic but evil. Nostradamus also predicticted that the third Antichrist would be a middle eastern decent and here we have Barack Hussein Obama United States presidential candidate who also happens to be a Christian, very Charismatic and has middle eastern roots. Obama leads the presidential poll survey.

Obama also could unite the whole world because he represents all races because he is white, black, middle eastern, indian, etc... which is a very ideal trait of an antichrist which the antichrist is suppose to do.

Did you keep that secret? Why or why not?

(This feedback will hopefully be used as informal research to help me gain some general perspective on a topic that is often difficult for people to talk about. People generally have strong feelings one way or the other about secrets. Your experience is greatly appreciated! Thank you!)

When my brother gets upset with me, he plays on my phone. Isn't that a bit immature? & he's not the only one-my who family does that. Or they'll call from somebody else's # & tell me something insulting & laugh.

Suppose there was a person who hated God and wished God didn't exist but deep down believed that God did exist and accepted Jesus as his personal savior. Could that person get into heaven?

(This is just a hypothetical, in case anybody is worried that I have gone soft.)

Seam that at least a glimpse of advanced science is in the Bible even though Bible is not a science essay . Consider the following:

String theory:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear." Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)

(NASB) translation:

"By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible."

Earth is suspended:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"He stretches out the north over empty space
And hangs the earth on nothing." Job 26:7

Earth is rounded:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"It is He who sits above the circle of the earth,
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers,
Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain
And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in." Isaiah 40:22

It doesn't matter what religion, god, or theocratic doctrine...The proponents will certainly direct the issue to favor their particular flavor.
