My nephew is 13 & he has started to have doubts about God. I'm a believer but I need to make him feel ok about his doubts because he's starting to feel guilty about having them. Can you give me any advice other than to tell him that it's ok to feel how he feels? Christians please no Bible quotes or anything, I'd like to hear if the others have felt guilt for having doubts & how they got over it.

Fascism is defined as the merger of the state with corporate interests and the intentional amalgamation of church and state.

Hitler did precisely that - colluded with the Catholic church and bragged he had rooted out atheism.

"Christianity...[has become] the most perverted system that ever shone on man....Rogueries, absurdities and untruths were perpetrated upon the teachings of Jesus by a large band of dupes and imposters led by Paul, the first great corrupter of the teaching of Jesus." - Thomas Jefferson

I hear all the time that the LDS church is a "cult" because we worship Joseph smith instead of Jesus Christ. I want someone to prove to me that we worship Joseph SMith instead of Jesus Christ. and use our own words, from the scriptures, o from the Ensign magazine or talks from our current leaders. Don't go to anti-Mormon sites, like ex-mormons, CARM, IRR, MRM, or wahtever.

Honest, Practical, Humanatarian, Peaceful and loving people. I have read both the Bible and Quran therefore it is quite strange for me to see Atheists being close to the lives and qualities Jesus and Muhammed then the theists.

Jesus once said "My friends, what good is it to say you have faith, when you don't do anything to show that you really do have faith? Can that kind of faith save you? If you know someone who doesn't have any clothes or food, you shouldn't just say, "I hope all goes well for you. I hope you will be warm and have plenty to eat." What good is it to say this, unless you do something to help? Faith that doesn't lead us to do good deeds is all alone and dead"

Muhammed once said "Do not say, that if the people do good to us, we will do good to them; and if the people oppress us, we will oppress them; but determine that if people do you good, you will do good to them; and if they oppress you, you will not oppress them."

Life is funny,So what are your opinions?

I am really unfamiliar with wedding etiquette and need help1 We have been invited a a friend's wedding that is a few hours away in a tourist community and will need to be staying overnight. The reception invitation states "Adult Reception". Does this mean no 12/13 yr olds?We have a 12.5 yr old daughter who we've always taken to weddings and such. We will have to find childcare for our 5 yr old boy and will do so...but, Also-I have a baby that is still nursing and is a very quiet/calm baby 9 mos old-Does this mean no babies either? I'm confused and too embarrassed to ask the bride or groom.
Thank you!

Have you ever cast a spell and achieved your hearts desire? Ever received a three fold dose of bad karma? What happened to you, if so?

...and do our souls get "conscripted" right away when we arrive in either place? Or do we get a little "triage" after living on Planet Earth for so long? (Where the wars just keep going on and on like the Energizer Bunny)...And would YOU make a good "disembodied" soldier flying around at will in the indescribable, multi-dimensionally weird afterlife environment?

Every few days someone cites a scientific-sounding name, then you go look it up, and it was setup a few months ago by Answers in Genesis or whatnot so AIG can cite themselves without sounding like they're citing themselves.

Where can I get a full list of such publications?

If a pious Buddhist professes his homosexuality, is he turning his back on the teachings of the religion? Are there any sects of Buddhism which overlook their followers' sexuality?

God is kinda in charge of the whole transaction, so He could have set any terms He wanted. How did He tally up world sins for past, present, and future and decide the sacrifice of His own son was a good trade?
Seriously though, what's the logic here? Twelve years of Christian school never answered this. Why would God want us to believe something we don't understand? What benefit is that to Him? Or us?
