i am muslim and have been confronted by many christians about my beliefs and have been told that i am going to hell for not believing that jesus is god and the son of god. isn't that for god to decide? because in islam it is a major sin to put yourself on the same level as god, and only god can decide/ knows who is going to heaven and hell. i have also had people try to educate me about christianity when i haven't asked for their help and i don't care. i personally choose not bring up religion at school and i was yelled and screamed at by a christian girl about the trinity and jesus, and when i asked her to prove to me how what she was saying was true she couldn't, she only said that it was the truth. but i didn't even bring up reigion, becuase like i said i don't like talking about it in school. why do so many christians want to spread jesus to those of us that don't want it? because if i wanted to be christian i would, i don't agree w/ their values and beliefs. why do you all do this

My great-grandmother was a full-blooded Navajo. I look like a Navajo and have talked with scores of Indians. I used to live in Tahleguah, OK, where the seat of the Cherokee gov't is. I also lived in Missoula, MT.
Almost to a person, Indians have told me that they HATE 'Native American'. It is a PC name applied to them by white people. They especially don't like 'American' as a noun. As a geographical adjective, 'American Indian', they don't mind. So why all the PC stuff from everyone? They've been Indians since the whites got here. They prefer 'Indian'. Why don't you call them Indians?

I often notice, in my circle of friends.. and as everyone thinks it's a norm.. People talking about another person behind their back. Critisizing them and making fun of them, whilst being sweet to their face. I know almost everyone does it, sometimes even unconsciously. It has become so prevelant that I think if we told our friends and family to talk about something, other than someone else... there would practically be no conversation. It may seem rude, but I tell my friends to not do it, and if they want to continue they can do it without me.

Think about it.. If this person can talk about someone else with you, what makes you so sure they wont be talking about YOU with someone else?

Allah says: “O you who believe! Let not some men among you deride others who may be better than they (are), nor let women (deride) women who may be better than they are; neither defame one another, nor insult one another by nicknames. Evil is a bad name after faith.” [Sûrah al-Hujurât: 11]

I have been to two Holy Communions in the Catholic church and everyone gets the wafer (bread) and no one drinks from the cup and I just want to know why as the two were supposed to be done together as a commandment at the last supper
Thanks!

do you believe Jesus was a real person? (Jewish historian Flavius Josephus and Roman historian Carius Cornelius Tacitus for example have recordings of Jesus) Thanks.

I have trouble believing that hell is a place of torment; the New Testament seems to indicate it at times; other times, it seems to indicate otherwise. I'm looking for comments made by EARLY Christian writers - preferaby those who who can be linked back to the apostles, or soon after, on the subject. I know Christians believed hell was a place of torment before the end of the 2nd century; I'm just wondering about the 1st century.

Everytime i am in the R&S section, there are sooo many posts that say something like:

"Atheist, read this verse, now try and prove it wrong!"
"This bible verse proves there's a God!!"

And so on...

With all of the verses christians throw out every 5 minutes, at this point, i think any ahiest that have read all these posts have learned the bible better than christians. Because while 50 different people just taught atheists 50 different passages...

Those 50 Christians will still only know their 1 verse!!!

If my son told me he was gay I would beat the crap out of anyone who put him down. I don't get how any father could do that. I know a guy who did this very thing, but he had a dog that bit a kid, and he defended that stupid dog to the death. Explain it to me sensibly? like not 'cos its wrong and disgusting' cos ive known sons that go to prison for murder and when they come out of jail their dads still love them.

Why don't we hear what the Brown family is thinking? Why do we just hear from the Goldman family? Does that tell us that the Brown family is taking loss in a healthy manner, and the Goldman's are taking their loss in a greedy posture?

So my brother in law and his GF came to visit recently and every time they got ready to go out they would take a shower together.They stayed for 5 days!!My husband thinkd it's fine because we save on water, I think it's inappropriate to do in front of children.Our shower isn't even big enough for two!! I don't think it's right for him to do that in front of his niece and nephew,what do you think? They are coming back and I wonder if I should say something??
