I am not flaming or being blasphemous but I want a sincere answer...

If I told you that I can fly..or I can magically lit a bush to fire...
your reaction would be that I am crazy or lying.

If I told you that I can see the future and I remember my forelife..
you would think that I am a bluff..

And if I walked right to you and told you that I am Jesus in human disguise and I have finally come to judge you....you would probably curse away on me ask God to forgive
such an intolerant human being like me.....

You would think I am full of nonsense...

So why would you Christians not take a look at what the Bible is all about....nonsense that you would never beilieve of in this modern era.

You believe in Jesus' second coming...then why would your first reaction of me claiming to be Jesus offend you?
Should you not be happy?

Does this REALLY mean you believe in Jesus and that book?

Think about it and tell me what you feel.

No verse for Christ's sake.

The Sun made life possible, you can actually see it (but shouldn't stare at it), and it's one powerful son of a *****. Why don't most religions fall to their knees to worship the SUN?

What religious/spiritual beliefs do you think Batman follows?

I get the impression that he's non-religious and a bit of a practitioner of Eastern beliefs (e.g.Taoism, Confucianism).

With patience and love we perceive all principles of life unfolding before us, and we cease to resent those who provoke us - seeing the provocation not as a threat, but as a vital source of spiritual life.

Question Details: The girlfriend is walking down the street with her boyfriend, and her hard, leather handbag hits a woman (who is crouched down on the sidewalk, admiring a little poodle) in the side. The girlfriend doesn't apologize and just walks on with her boyfriend, but overhears the woman swearing quietly at her. The girlfriend rolls her eyes and speaks bad of the woman to her boyfriend.
Boyfriend says: You should have apologized
Girl friend says: Why? It's her fault anyways. She was crouched down in the middle of the sidewalk. So it's her fault. Why should I have apologized?

In this situation, how could the boyfriend persuade the girlfriend into realizing and accepting the fact that she should have apologized without actually pissing his girlfriend off and making her feel bad?

Ten points to the best answer!!!

Through the conditioned reflex of hate, people become weak, suggestible and easily led against each other, through the lack of the peace they do not possess within - lured by the promise of sustained, protected environment , called security - which they need because of fear. Through increasing suspicion, selfishness and fear, eventually the smallest lie possesses the biggest stampeding effect. (BTW the financial market knows of this herd's mentality very well) . Collectively man is conditioned out of his soul, his morality' educated out of all his common sense. With love, he is de-conditioned from life's power - the smallest truth having the greatest power.
What say you ? Any one would likes to challenge the above conclusion?

Based on what we know today about Darwin's theory would "Evolution of Species" be a more appropriate title for his research?

The term "origin" seems to overly credit his findings.

My roommate constantly pops his gum so loudly you can hear it from the other side of the house. It even wakes me up when I'm sleeping! Totally annoying. He thinks I shouldn't let it bother me; I think he should be considerate and stop. What do YOU think?

Just wondering.

What do you think Assyrians (Chaldeans) are?
Their beliefs, and such? Where they come from, the language they speak, religion they follow, etc.

I'm writing a thesis on my nationality (I'm Assyrian) and would love feedback.

I thank God for my life when things are at their worst because I feel humans learn from suffering, it makes us stronger mentally.

And it also teaches us compassion toward others considering we know what it's like to be in their shoes.

Imagination is a wild, yet beautiful instrument. An instrument meant to be united within both the Outside and Inside Orchestrations of Life.

As we live out our lives, moment after moment, we are fine-tuning our instrument; we are practicing. Each moment lived, is a new note learned.

How well do you play your instrument? What kind of music do you play?

Are you a soloist? Or do you prefer playing in a band... or maybe an orchestra?

How often do you play? Do you wish you could play more?

which argument do you wish people would stop making that is often made by people on YOUR side of the religious debates?

Please don't tell me what arguments you don't like the other sides to make anymore. We know that already, or at least that is another question.

Which one or more arguments do people who generally share your opinions about religion make that you don't think are fair or bright or advisable?
