I found this article today - thoughts?

"It is true that certain religious groups have been highly critical of science and impeded its advance. We have all heard reports of Southern Baptist preachers inveighing against evolution. Likewise, towards the end of the nineteenth century Roman Catholicism took an anti-science stance.Yet there is another side to the coin — religion has often provided the motivation for pursuing science. Newton and Faraday were two of the many eminent scientists who turned to science to better understand God. They saw no conflict between God's two books — Nature and Revelation."

"Taking cheap and uninformed swipes at religion is hardly the best strategy to adopt when trying to encourage people to take science seriously and become better informed about its methods and content."

Christians (not all, I suppose) ask, beg, demand atheists to believe. What exactly is it that you want us to believe?

What is your view about people who don't convert to your religion? Does GOD favor them even though they try their best to live their life morally? Will they be sent to hell on judgement day? I understand no one is perfect, but some religions claim that if a person sins intentionally, he will go to heaven as long as he is a member of my religion. Then they say the person who is trying to live morally will go to hell because he didn't chose the right religion. PLEASE STATE YOUR RELIGION AND YOUR DENOMINATION OF YOUR RELIGION!!!! I would love to hear from, not only from Christians, but Jews, Muslims, Bahai's, Buddists, Hindus, and any other religion.

If a person dies with unconfessed sin who is a believer and has been Baptized what do you believe happens to this person? Are they condemned to Hell? Are they granted the Kingdom of Heaven (remeber that they are considered to be saved)? Does this change anything about where they will be spending enternity?

By the way, I understand the fact that you aren't God and it isn't you place to judge but please don't say that. Either answer the question or don't. .but don't avoid it.

cHristians & Atheists love to argue the truth with each other but, what does everyone on here think of muslimes? They dont seem to say much but, when they do, its mostly to defend, what they seem to think, is their great name & religion. And, if they dont like your answer to their questions, you can guarentee you will receive a violation email from Yahoo & they block you from answering again. Ive slightly changed my view on cHristians. They arent as bad as the muslimes after all. What do you all think?

What I mean is if you are so sure that your God want's love and peace in the world.Well then wouldn't you want to make Gods plan work by accepting the homosexuals?
That would solve one problem in the world.
I honestly cannot see anything wrong with them, They are
kind loving people. If you wan't them to stop this there is something wrong with your logic. If you succeded and had it banned you would take away so much love by doing this.
Don't you think?
I don't mean this to sound sarcastic! It is a normal question.

Mark 10:21 Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the
poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me. KJV

Instead of telling the ruler to get rich, he told the man to get
"unrich". Instead of asking the man to give to him to be blessed, he told him to give to the poor to be blessed. Instead of allowing the man to join him because of his fame, money
power, and prestige, he told the man to deny all of that first, and then come after him! Instead of telling this man that if he gives a portion of his riches to the church he would be blessed and highly favored, Jesus didn't ask him for anything for the church because his possesions weren't important, his soul was! Jesus did not tell him it was his season and he was about to walk into his destiny, favor, and breathrough. Jesus made no promises to him but rather just tested his love for him.

why do you continuously ask Christians to prove God? Well, i'm going to honestly tell you we can't. we have faith in something that doesn't have proof. call us all the names you want but our proof is that 2000 year old book full of fairytales as most of you would call it. if you like to make fun of and discriminate Christians, you're the one that's weak and insecure, not us.

Look at the media and games they have. Is big business that greedy that they need to make bucks off the kids in the future to the detriment of their mental stability to desire to take care of themselves avoiding danger, or is society preparing for a day when you can't hurt yourself?

Is it important to learn the grammar when learning a new language or should we just learn all the phrases and words ?

For example, Spanish, I understand= yo entiendo
so should we just memorize the phrase or learn step-by-step like entender means to understand, it is an irregular verb so we need to add an i between t and e. and change the last er to o for meaning "I" and know that yo is just for emphasizing !!!

English too, must people think pural in english in add s. but not all are like that. for words that end in x,ch,sh, will be es. and if it end in y, we have to cut y and add ies !!!!

Yesterday, my best friend, who has lived his life with a never-ceasing devotion to God's will, had a prophetic experience.
At around 10 am, while I was already at work and my children in school, he received a message from God, that I was in need of his help. Although he was hesitant and confused, he drove to my house, knowing that no one was home, but trusting his spiritual insight.
As he entered...my blanket, that I had inadvertently flung off the bed, unaware that it landed on a lamp that was still lit from the night before, ignited !
Miraculously my friend arrived just in time. He saved my house from burning down to the ground and from us loosing all of our belongings.
Who would like to make a suggestion on how I could possibly express my tremendous gratitude?
How does one thank a prophet?
