I've been reading about love spells and hearing people say their bad because they interfere with free will. Then it got me to thinking about my problem. Though, I don't plan on using love spells or magic at all, it made me think. Yes it is interfering with free will if you make someone fall in love with you, but what if they are already in love with you? isn't there spells that could push things to the next step...like to help him have the confidence to take the nex step or to ask me out? I am in love with some one who is in love with me but he is taken at the moment. He wants to break up with his gf because him and i both know their relationship is a joke!!!! Aren't there spells that can help him to move on and come to me and not be afraid to come to me just because i'm a guy and he knows its time to act on his feelings? Could a love spell actually play a part in this and could free will still remained untainted??

I don't believe in religion because I can prove all religions wrong.But I believe in God because I can now prove He exists. What does that make me?

I have a friend who told me earlier, that it says in the Bible that a plague is going to take over the world, and she says she knows that plague is Technology.
Everything is now running on all technology now days, and in about 10 years, it is going to land up that everyone is going to run out of money of the famous computers. Everything is now running by computers, and later everyone is going to have to have a computer. Everything is going to be running by the famous computers, like there is now:
Electronic Billboards
Electronic Doors
Cars and Trucks are now operated by computers
TVs, VCRs, DVD Players/Recorders are running by computers.

Public libraries are going to be out of business, because of the famous computers.
In my school days, students we used to "READ FROM THE LIBRARY"
If we keep having technology taking over this country, we are going to run out of money where we cannot buy gas.It's like the internet and we know more than God.

What is this world coming to?

I am Christian and I am very much into following what the Lord say's is right. Through out my life girls have considered me a pretty attractive man, and I’ve never had problems getting them, but since High School I have always had problems keeping them because they wanted to have sex, and I believe sex should wait until marriage, but will most girls leave if I won't have sex until marriage?

Feel the need to criticize the beliefs of others?
There are hundreds of beliefs, and if you use the statics I've seen a bout the whole "God has to exist" Then use more and say, why is your god, the real one?

Or is that a sin for thinking against him?

Due to the overall size of the ark (which really is not that large, since you have to watch out for a extremely large ships to break their backs due to physics), where did they store all the food for the animals for 375 days?
Oh, and yes people, they were on the ark for 375 days. That means that you had to bring 375 days of food for horses, elephants (do you know how much they eat), you had to bring live animals to butcher to feed the lions (of which you had to feed the slaughter animals throughout), etc. It is impossible all around. But there are people who still hold that story as totally true. Amazing how in the face of all the facts, that people can turn a blind eye and refuse to accept the impossibility of the ark story.

a 24-hour day?

Some christians say that the days in the 7 days of creation (including the day God rested) are not a 24-hour day. Then why do christians keep the sabbath on a 24-hour day basis?

Exodus 20:11 "For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."

This verse is pretty clear. If some christians still believe that it was not on 24-hour day basis, then why do these christians keep the sabbath on a 24-hour day basis? Aren't they contradicting themselves by doing so?

Few religious folks consider the reason that faith is required and that faith is a serious matter. Few religious folks understand the importance attached to NOT eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge. Religious leaders do not want a skeptical, inquisitive flock because they are too difficult to manage. Is religion and their required method of knowing the anti-science?

Hey, I'm a Christian and having been having trouble trusting God with a lot of really big stuff. This is the worst time to lose faith because I know He is able to do stuff if you just believe but these tasks just seem like they're too much to ask. The biggest thing is paying for college. I want to go into chemical engineering but am having trouble with getting scholarships because I messed up badly my freshman year of high school. Please pray for me that God provides the money and that I can find faith again. I'm posting this also for advice on overcoming this doubt. I know He's big enough to handle anything but I just don't whole heartedly believe it and keep saying "Yeah, right."

Since Paganism is the first religion, then how can you say "The Bible" is true? In truth since Paganism is the first religion then how is it possible that Adam and Eve could have been the first two people seeing they believed in "God". And saying so then in retrospect wouldn't that disprove "The Bible" all together. Then again let's review the fact if there were only two people at the begging then that would mean everyone is responsible for incest which is against the rules of "the Bible". So where does "The Bible" tell the truth?
