How many Christian Churches allow parishioners to rely on their God given Consciences, to make decisions about such things as:
Smoking cigarettes
Driving Race Cars
Sky diving
Fighting For the Freedom
Does your church dictate every thought, word, and deed?

Suppose circumstances let you bring 1 thing with you, what do you take?
To make this pertinent to the R&S section, do you bring your bible? or something that will actually keep you alive?

BTW, here's what was said about it on the evolution mailing list I am on
"The iconic straight line version of human evolution is being called into question! Congratulations on catching up to state of the art for 25 years ago, guys!
Still, it is progress from the popular media."

Why have I come across people who act like I can't be both? Just because I'm Christian, doesn't mean I walk on eggshells around every group that decided to whine about something new every other week. Anyone else feel this way?

I know that they hate a lot of people.
Have you ever noticed that they dont go against Muslims that much. I think that is because they dont have a clue about Islam.
However there have been some unlearned catholics who never grasped their faith who became fundies and then thought them a load of lies.
Another question, do fundementalist chrisitians ever do any charitable work that is not related to their own denomination.
I have heard of Servant Evangelism (Steve Sergion) its a crock, just being fake and not being yourself and hoping that people somehow think you are nice.

3 years ago a member my boyfriend's family was killed in a car accident. Last night, one of the families that was most helpful and supportive (that of a girl my boyfriend and I have been friends with growing up) lost a child in their family from a car accident. This friend and her family truly were compasionate and caring during my boyfriend's family's time of need, they even comforted me when I felt that I just couldn't be strong for my boyfriend anymore. I intend to return the kindness by doing anything I can for them at this hard time. I know that they will need meals and snacks, help with little things around the house, and a shoulder to cry on, but when they were lending their hand things were such a blur and I can't think of other things that will help them out. I would really appreciate any thoughts or ideas of what I can to do better help their family. I want to show them that, like they were there for others, I am there for them.

Religious fundamentalists are united by fear. Whether they are Christian, Muslim, or Jew, fear is the common denominator. They fear change, modernization and loss of influence. They fear that the young will abandon the churches, mosques and synagogues for physical and material gratification. They fear the influence of mass media and its ability to subvert the young with song, dance, fashion, alcohol, drugs, sex and freedom. They especially fear education if it undermines the teachings of their religion. They fear a future they can’t control, or even comprehend.
Perhaps it’s not surprising to realize that it is fear that also connects the myriad of nationalist, separatist and independence movements who also engage in political violence. Although experts, academics and analysts hypothesize about a multitude of causal effects that lead to violence and terrorism, fear is the underlying motivator.

Last night I was watching a scientific documentary about evolution called "South Park." This TV show explained how evolution works, and I can't believe you evolutionarianists actually believe this tripe! And for those of you who tell me I shouldn't get my scientific knowledge from cartoons, that's where I get all my knowledge.
According to the documentary "South Park" man evolved when a bunch of fish had a retarded fish baby with hands. The fish baby went on land and mated with a squirrel to make a frog-squirrel. The frog-squirrel had a baby to make monkey-fish-frog. Then the monkey fish frog had a human baby.
How can athilutionists actually believe in this garbage? A monkey fish frog that gave birth to a baby? That's ridiculous. I can't believe you actually believe that a monkey fish frog could actually give birth to a human. What a ridiculous belief.
The documentary "South Park" proves that evolution is ridiculous. Even the main character didn't believe it.

Two ladies knocked on my door with the stated intention of discussing "these times we're living in."
"I am quite satisfied with my present religious status, ma'am," I responded, "and perhaps you didn't notice that this entire complex has a big NO SOLICITING sign."
"We're not soliciting anything," one responded. "We're giving it away."
"Ma'am, you are soliciting my attention for your own purposes," I replied. "Good day."
I then closed the door.
Do you consider door-to-door evangelism despite a NO SOLICITING sign to be unethical? As far as I'm concerned, it's trespassing.
Is anyone so iffy on their choice of religion that they'll convert based on a door-knock? I don't get it.

Im atheist and i recently heard something in a video and im completely confused by it.
It said that if you deny the holy spirit you will burn in hell for eternity. It said to be the unforgivable sin.
Now this is what confuses me. Here are my questions:
1) What is the holy Spirit?
2)if didnt believe in the holy spirit, Why would i have to suffer?
3) Why would i have to be sent to hell if i didnt believe in 1 thing but was good my whole life?
4)Where is hell? The universe is just space and planets.
It all doesnt make sense to me.
Please try to answer all my questions. thanks.

If there was a worldwide epidemic, such as The Bird Flu, that killed suddenly and only a handful of people survived in each state or country, how do you think people would re-group and become whole again?

Verse 1- As the clock strikes {12:00} What are you doing, what are you saying; what are you pursuing? {What are you playing} ARE YOU PLAYING ANYTHING AT ALL! As the clock strikes 12:00. You take off your belt and you lay down for a late night sleep. Pray, oh dear God tonight I; would you keep? He answers the door and puts you to rest and He the Lord takes care of the rest. {As the clock strikes 12:00}
Chorus- As the clock strikes 12:00; you hear Him say lay down go to bed it'll be okay. As the clock strikes 12:00 you know it is getting late. As the clock strikes 12:00 you know your not feeling great. {As the clock strikes 12:00}
Verse 2- So what are you going to do about staying up so late? You know it is something you really hate. And it does work even when you fast and pray. {how come?} Because fasting was not something that you were required to do {hey hey} {hUH} Then dog what shall we do. Do the do.

The old theory was that the first and oldest species in our family tree, Homo habilis, evolved into Homo erectus, which then became us, Homo sapiens. But those two earlier species lived side-by-side about 1.5 million years ago in parts of Kenya for at least half a million years, Leakey and colleagues report in a paper published in Thursday’s issue of the journal Nature.

Lately, and almost always I have noticed that people often post questions trying to emphasize the Gap between faiths. Asking such questions as, Do you hate this faith or that faith. It's surprising to me that so many folks out there would rather spend their time magnifying hatred, as hatred is always easier to justify. But I have noticed many good Christians, and others as well, defending their faith in good manner by showing love towards Muslims. And I wanted to thank you.
I would also like to ask what you think can be done in order to educate people on tolerance? What do you do when you see people of your faith (any faith), discriminating others?
And to everyone else who reads this:
Islam teaches me to love and respect everyone. Would you help me in making this place a bit more welcoming, after all think about it, we wont be around forever... Shouldn't we spend our time being the best towards others?
Peace&Love :-)
