Since retiring, I love to go to the Post Office and get the newest stamps! I got the comic book characters and the birds. I think it is so neat. I think Jimmy Stewart stamps are out now. I still have Ella Fitzgerald, Arthur Ashe, and a 37 cent Elvis stamp.

Jack getting Married to the woman of his choice from R&S. All the Vile Temptresses serving margaritas. Cat singing a song for them all and above all John O cooking and managing for us a plated dinner, mango salad, grilled beef tenderloin medallion, dauphinous potatoes, steamed asparagus and roasted red pepper points, German chocolate cake for dessert. Wait a minute, this is possible before heaven?

I am talking about a person that claims they are a Christian and cheats on their husband/wife and has no shame or guilt about it. What does the Bible say about this?

How do you know sooooo much about Christianity that you know how they are supposed to live and call them hypocrites if they make a mistake? Isn't that interesting? hmmmm.

Please don't say that it's to be found in the hereafter. I'm interested in the here-and-now.

The beauty of Christianity is in our redemption. Christ died for our sins so that we might have everlasting life. There is no Christian that does not believe this.

As a Catholic and as a Christian, I urge all of you, my brothers and sisters in faith, to give up on the useless meandering and verbal abuse of all churches of faith. We may come from many different spiritual backgrounds, different churches with different names, but with only one God.

Shouldn't we celebrate this together? Shouldn't this be the unity that ties us together, making us Christ's one true church on earth? Isn't this what God commands of us? Isn't this what Christ died for?

Those who continue to speak out against their brothers and sisters in Christ, are speaking out only against God. Why? Because we are asked to not just bring others to Him through our words, but through our actions. How do you feel your actions are bringing others toward the church?

Yours in faith,
Miss Alexis

Well, the person whose mouth cannot close completely is at it again. This "Christian" had a party and made sure to invite certain folks and tell everyone else how it was. She claims to be so holy but she is such a big mouth...I have tried to ignore her but she is louder than my headsets...help! She is now in my unit and it is harder to ignore her. Short of murder, I could use some advice...

Is our National Anthem out of date? What do you think would suit us better? I like Jerusalem. Do you think it should still be sung in Schools and cinemas etc?

And "Love your enemy"..

If I told people, Be kind, respect and love each other, but everyone became hateful and ignorant. Is that my fault or is that the ignorance of the human race?

This story is in comparison with Christianity.
The originator of Christianity is Jesus Christ.
He preached to the world about loving each other and loving even the people that hate you the most.

Just because mankind has drifted off course..
Why do you unbelievers blame Christianity when it's clearly mankinds fault for not following the words of Jesus?

Nowhere in scripture are you going to find one hateful verse from Jesus. And that's what Christianity means "The following of Christ" - "Christ-Like"

So to the unbelievers.. DO NOT BLAME THE RELIGION ON THE ACTS OF MANKIND.

So in reality, When you condemn Christians for blowing up abortion clinics or the KKK...
You are condemning people that do not follow the words of Jesus..

Thank You for sticking for the Christian religion.

Why is christianity such a popular religion? I understand that jesus had some good messages and metaphors, but it has been taken to the extreme.

Why was a book written over 1000 years ago still held as truth even though science has disproved it. Can anyone explain why the masses blindly believe in the book without even reading it? Why do leaders twist it for their own sadistic gains?

Can anyone answer these questions?

If so then please tell me in your own words, how many ways are there to "misunderstand" the following verses?


2:216 - Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you.

9:29 - Fight those who believe not in Allah nor the Last Day, nor hold that forbidden which hath been forbidden by Allah and His Messenger, nor acknowledge the religion of Truth, (even if they are) of the People of the Book, until they pay the Jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued.

48:29 - Muhammad is the messenger of Allah; and those who are with him are strong against Unbelievers, (but) compassionate amongst each other.

God gave man the law knowing man could not live up to it.
Isn't reasonable to conclude that God had a plan to bring man to his righteousness?

When I first began posting questions on YA, I thought that the forum itself might serve a greater good which was previously impossible...that it...free exchange between people of differing beliefs without the possiblity of blood shed.

Jihadists are about action, not dialogue or diplomacy. Go ahead and try to open up real dialogue with the Islamic community and see where you get after you dispense of the small talk and pleasantries. The moment you mention anything outside of food and weather conditions, you have the end of conversation...at best.

The point being, it occured to me, along with others, that a place like YA could very well open up avenues previously impossible. The Islamic world, otherwise, simply doesnt allow any other views to seep in...and what is absolutely amazing...astounding...incredible...is that what many people thought would be a medium by which they were powerless to control speech (net) has been proven not to be the case...they can and do.

if 19 Christians hijacked those airplanes on September 11th.

I still find it hard to believe how atheists can forget about 9/11/01 commited by demented Islamic radicals, but they still condemn Christians for the Crusades that happened nearly 1900 years ago.

There is something that makes unbelievers despise only Christianity. If you are smart enough, you will see that well over 60% of these posts are mostly condemning or slamming the Christian religion.

Hatred is the opposite of Love. And Jesus was about Love and Compassion. "Love your enemies," "Pray for those who will curse at you."

How could a person hate the words that Jesus spoke?

Allah spoke about his true believers killing in his name and they will be blessed with 72 virgins.

Why do unbelievers ignore these verses in the Qu'ran, but they are always keeping a critical eye on the Old Testament?

What's the deal with unbelievers? Why are you so disgusted with a religion that preaches love and kindness?
