I've heard the argument that there is no evidence to prove or indicate that there's a God. But exactly what would? If you saw a "miracle", something that seemed to defy natural law, would you just say we have to expand our ideas of what can happen naturally? Or would you say that it has to be explainable by natural law because there's no such thing as magic or our current concept of natural law HAS to explain everything, invalidating the evidence to protect a belief? Or would you say it is magic? Or would you say it's a miracle? Doesn't the interpretation of an event go down to the core of our soul and get filtered by what we want to see?

Why can't we all just listen to War( music group) and live in harmony. What's wrong with the Blacks,or mexicans or asians or whites when will we be able to set a better example for our children is hatred what we really want to pass on to our next generation ? Will you people just quit hating and stereo-typing not all whites are racist, not all asians know kung-fu, not all mexicans are illegal immegrant s and not all blacks smoke weed or love grape soda or have kids while their teenagers I didn't do any of that but I do live in a suburban neighbor hood.

ok so jesus spent a few hours in torture only to get to spend the rest of eternity seated at the right hand of god in judgment of all mankind. so what is the big deal? would any of us not trade a little torture for that sort of reward?

then how do you explain the fact that it was translated centuries ago when people knew practically nothing about greek and hebrew?
And how come there isn't a King James Translation of the Book of Mormon, the Bhagavad Gita, The Dhammada or the Quran?

This is not a huge deal, but it puzzles me - I see these people in front of the store with the box and the 'official' looking sign or ID card, asking for money for the homeless.

Many times stores have signs that SAY they don't support the soliciters - why don't they (the store managers ) politely ask them to leave ? They either own the property or are leaseholders.

My wife and I give to charities of our choice, at our church, and to friends in need on a regular basis - I don't appreciate being 'harrassed' by these soliciters - but much more than that, I'm really curious why the store managers don't do anything ! ? ! ?

So, God is supposed to be watching our every move and thought. So is Santa. and in church, when you have to give a talk, all these people are watching you. and little kids remember every bad thing you say.

Dont you think its creepy how youre always being watched?

Love bombing is the deliberate show of affection or friendship by an individual or a group of people toward another individual. Critics have asserted that this action may be motivated in part by the desire to recruit or otherwise influence. "Love bombing" is often cited by critics as one of the methods used by some cults to recruit and retain members.

I've been love bombed by Mormons before. I hate it how they act like you're their new bestest friend if you give even an inkling of interest in Mormonism. I've read that they are actually trained to do this...

(I'm not just picking on Mormons here, Jehovah's Witnesses do it and so do many other groups.)

(There's a very real difference between "love bombing" and genuine affection so please don't list every time a religious person has been friendly towards you...)

Firstly these 2 men are better than any man on this planet including me.

But If you compare the 2, Job's life sounds harder, he sacrifices more, goes through more pain, loses more. So how do christians thing Jesus died only to raise himself up, because of making the biggest sacrifice when it might not be?

Blondiebaptist (when asked about religion and children):

"There's nothing wrong w/brain washing, God just takes our filthy minds and washes them, shines them up for his glory. He washed mine last year and now it sparkles for Jesus."

That just creeped me right out of my skin.

Shouldn't we all try to be more compassionate and understanding to them? When I was a Christian I used to get bashed by Atheists all the time but it just made me more close minded to what they were trying to tell me. Only when I met a really patient and understanding one did I really try to accept what they were saying. I know sometimes we can get frustrated and annoyed but isn't the objective to get them to understand, not to hate us so much they will never listen?

Please do not flame me (not a Mormon) or the Mormons in your answer. Please be able to back up your answer with a specific citation. If you're going to claim that Mormons believe a certain thing, please cite your source. If you think the Mormons are a cult, please, again, explain why you think that and cite your source. If you're going to get on your soapbox and rant at me about either Mormonism OR Christianity, please move on to the next question.
