With lucky rabbit feet? So, why do we not all have lucky rabbit feet with us all the time? Would it not be safer to have a rabbits foot with you all the time just to be safe? I mean, you have nothing to loose by keeping it with you all the time and looking like a moron. Behold, the power of the rabbits severed limbs!

If God said music was sin, you would want to know why before you stop listening to music right? You would expect a justifiable reason for outlawing music right?

similarly, what is Gods justification for condemning homosexuality?
****__why__**** is it wrong according to God?

First of all, let me say that I am not Pastor, Prophet, or Priest, but I do believe that the church right now is under a spiritual attack. I have been looking at the situations that have been coming up in the recent week and I am ashamed of what we as believers have allowed to happen. I'm not perfect, but I think that as the Body of Christ we need to come together and fast and pray. I don't care what denomination you are or what your religious background is. I'm just asking if we can just come together and agree on this one thing. If you don't believe in God or if what I have written is not for you it is not for you to respond or take offense. If you would just agree with me I would appreciate it and I'm sure God would too. One body, one mind, one spirit. Father, son, and holy ghost.

I was wondering because i had seen god's name in tetragrammaton and wondered if the devil also had an original name. On wikipedia they say he has names like "the tempter" but i mean a name other than lucifer or satan

I am a member of the US Coast Guard, in which part of my job basically requires me to learn spanish. I have a pretty good grasp of the spanish language so i don't really have a tough time speaking with the illegal immigrants we catch. I am also fluent in french because my mom was from France (besancon). So whenever i go back to europe to visit my relatives it seems that everyone is more sophisticated and speaks more than 1 language, escecially english. My question is, Why do most americans speak only english? How come we are not like the rest of the world and speak more than only our first language. I am an American, I was born here and didnt find it very difficult to learn and speak 2 other languages. If we could just get off the couch and be a little bit more enthusiastic we could all easily speak more than 1 language. This is pretty sad and pathetic, can someone please explain this to me?

After reading a lot of questions and answers about religion, I am noticing that people get fired up and angry when others oppose their beliefs.

You might consider this a stupid question but seriously, why do some people have to be racist? What is the benefit of being racist?

It doesn't do any good but it just causes problems. Do you think that people who are extremely racist have never been faced with racism, meaning that they don't know how it feels like, so they go overboard sometimes with their insults and comments.

Ok, this is a remake of an abortion question from a little while ago. This time about something else.

Ok, there is a burning building or its about to collapse or whatever. On one side of the building is your child (lets say you only have one or only one of your children are in the building). On the other side, there is a room with 3 children from stranger's families. You only have time to rescue one (lets say no one but you is at the scene).

Do you save your one child or save 3 childen from strangers?


Me: I would not even hesitate or feel guilty about it, my kids first, absolutely.

In the past Christians used black men as slaves, and to no suprise....none other than thier precious bible told them they were entitled to enslave others (back then, the poor black men were victimized).

In the present, slavery is cleary unacceptable...and even Christians can't justify it. Somehow Christians try to ignore their dirty past...they say, "We Christians are not the same as those Christians back then...blah blah blah...."...ok, we'll let them slip...but wait!

Now a days, Christians are condemning homosexuals...and how do they justify their judgemental minds?....TADA! Through their precious "bible" yet again!

Maybe a hundred or so years from now when someone asks them why they were so judgemental against homosexuals they'll say, "Well, we're not like those Christians back then"

I advise you Christians to start editing(something you're really good at) the "homosexuals will be called least in heaven" part before it gets out of hand!

Out of love, do you let someone know they have wronged you? Or do you leave it alone as though nothing ever happened? I need to know should I approach someone (not attack), or just drop it?

If there was something wrong with the clay, shouldn't he have checked first to make sure he was using quality material?

If there was something wrong with the integrity of the structure, shouldn't he have caught that before he was done?

And if not, then I'm sure we can all agree that he's an inept or at least an imperfect craftsman, yes?

I believe that from the observence of the universe we will be lead to all knowledge, including past religion, and future science.
With religion there is only a basic understanding of God, but with science there is an advanced understanding.
Since the universe is just massive energy interacting, why not just call it God?

I will add an important detail if any one answers with a speific answer I am looking for.

Any explanations in the Bible as to why he created us in the first place? Did he create us realizing we would be sinners and the only way to be saved is by him? Sounds pretty evil doesn't it? Power hungry? Is He obsessed with Glory?

How many of you follow the rede? As in, "If dost harm none, do what thou whilt." As a Celtic Pagan myself I was wondering how many others follow this. I personally don't although I will defend any Pagan/ Wiccan that does. I have no problem visiting violence on those that would do us harm.
