For me, its picture magazines & short stories like in Cosmo. Real storeis, real people. Why do people get so caught up in the fiction written in the bible? Anyone who hasnt been brain washed can tell you that the bible was written by the campfire by a group of drunk men. Ive got the pictures to prove it. Send me $100 & i will send you the proof.

How are those nicknames derived? I would think Will would be short for William but not Bill. Can anyone enlighten me?

I mean we don't have a rule that says no alcohol sales on Budha's, Mohamed's, Abraham's and other religious figures birthday. So in essence, by signifying no alcohol sales on Christmas, the government has established one religion over the rest.

Hi, I'm a new Christian and I am just wondering. Please don't give me your personal opinions on waiting for marriage; I want to know what God's word is.

Life is so hard especially when you feel that you have no worth in this world. It’s hard when you have no love, no family, no friends and no career to lean back on. The simplest challenges turn into some of life’s hardest obstacle. It may not seem that way for most but to some, it is the worst.
I see my life as worthless, I may have a family but the way I feel amongst my family only makes me feel more worthless. I may have friends but none that I can share my true feelings, true feelings that show how desperate I am. Many of the people closest to me think that I am happy and that I have a comfortable life and a loving family. They never get to see the real me, behind the mask, behind the smile. They don’t see the tears falling down my cheeks.
One thing that may make me feel happy would be to have a love, a person whom I would love and would love me in return. But alas, I’m not that lucky. I don’t have anyone beside me holding my hand, wiping the tears off my face.

To see all of those children lined up to buy a book? Not a movie, not a video game , but a book. And a 759 page book at that. Wow. It just makes me feel good to know that there are so many young people who still love and care about reading.

How would you describe your relationship to God our Father, the Lord Jesus our Saviour, and the Holy Spirit, our Guide and Comforter? Do you have a close and personal, intimate relationship with Him? Don't you just love Him? Name a couple of blessings He has given you this day!

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

- Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

I'm just curious about this topic. When I tell anecdotes I tend to always tell about the negative things about myself because I find that people are more interested in others misfortunes, over successes. For instance, if I was to tell someone a story I would tell them a story about how I lost money at a casino rather than finding 20 bucks on the street.

What do you guys think about this? Is it a bad thing to focus on the negative aspects? I don't suffer from low self-esteem, I just find it comical to laugh at myself at times.

He is out of his mind !!

Let's see: what did Jesus do that warranted 39 lashes from a whip, contempt and disrespect, and to be nailed (naked) on a tree? The roman punishment (originally) for runaway slaves.

He taught, preached, healed and fellowshipped with women and men. For no pay.

And there was a murderer, named barabas, and pilate said to the crowd, which should be set free? And the crowd said, set barabas free and 'crucify Him'. ..."and let His blood be on us and our children" Major faux pas there. LOL

Of course, some men have been tortured worse than Jesus was: think of Braveheart and being drawn and quartered. Do you know what that meant? Deep, deep cuts in all your major limb joints and then tied to four horses, who are whipped to run in four directions !! Ouchie.

But, Jesus was INNOCENT and went to His death with sublime dignity and unbelievable courage !!

Who has weak belief (commonly) Atheist? Theist?

I have seen many people finding God in a time of their life atlast; but i have never seen somone who believes on GOD for a long time, and, then loses Him, eventually?

An Atheist was a Thesit once? Or a Theist was an Atheist once? Or you were, what you are right now, from always!?

Atheist question. Hoping someone can clear this up for me.

According to the Bible, Isaiah prophecized that a virgin would concieve a son, and his name would be Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14). Why then was he named Jesus instead?

Playboy or Cosmopolitan? At least Playboy & Cosmo have pics. Overall, they are all contain simple stories that people make up.

George Bush & the Bible go hand in hand. Think about that one!!!

how much time do you spend in prayer per day? do you write things down so you won't forget to pray about them? do you thank God before you roll out of bed? do you thank Him even when you don't get your way? do you ask for guidance? do you ask forgiveness for the people that irritate you? what kind of prayer-life are you living?
