I hear if you don't worship God or don't ask forgiveness of sins, you go to hell for all eternity. Two problems:
1. If He is all-knowing, then He knows when you are born if you are going to Hell. Why would he allow you to come into this world if He truly loves you if He already knows that you will burn for all eternity?
2. Even the most maniacal maniac will be clear of what he wants--ie. worship me or suffer. If I can go to hell for simply not worshipping God, why wouldn't He make it clear from the beginning. Why would He give no firm proof of His existence only to be surprised at the end of your life with--You should have worshipped me--now burn for all eternity! If He wants me to worship Him so badly, why not just come out and say it unambigously?

I am having a crisis of faith--not trying to insult. Please help. Intelligent answers only.

It seems to me to be a logical thing to do if I want to hear what ladies have to think about some subject. I was surprised to read many women are insulted by the term or cast dispersions on someone asking a question of ladies. Do you really assume someone is asking something negative if they ask only ladies for their opinions?

Now, I'm not American, I'm Canadian, but for some reason it seems that I know more about the founding of the United States than some Americans do.

Please tell me why an American would not know that the country was founded on freedom for all, not on Christianity, like some would like to believe.

Given what I know about Americans (which is quite alot since my husband is American and hence so are all his friends and family, as well as personal friends of mine that I've met over the last 10 years), it doesn't make sense why Americans would not know about the founding of their own country.

Not knowing about other countries, I can understand. When you're Rome you don't have to because your powerful enough that it isn't that big a deal.

But not knowing about your own country when the people of said country are so fixated on patriotism makes no sense.

So how is it that Americans can get away with thinking the country was founded on Christianity when it wasn't?

invalidate our arguements against evolution? Can Christians then say,that the Athiests ignorance of God negates their ability to judge his existence?

...do you, as I, see Christianity as a completed form a Judaism, rather than a separate faith?

I've always kind of wondered if not accepting mainstream Christian thought (e.g., if you don't accept Christ you're going to hell) is a basis for being labeled mentally ill. I was just wondering because my minister does it at church alot.

Plus, I've just come across this site that has a link to a very official-looking scientific study that claims that this is true:
http://www.centerforrationaldebate.com/jesus_mental_illness.html

What are your thoughts? This is really trying my faith.

My daughter, who is 18 years old, has recently found out that she is pregnant. Apparently her and her boyfriend have been having unprotected sex and the birth control pills that she was taking failed to prevent the pregnancy. As a Christian, and a Man who raised his daughter to be a good Christian, imagine the horror that I felt after I learned that my daughter was having unprotected sex and has now conceived a bastard child. My daughter has said that she wants to have an abortion, but my wife and I are against this practice and have already sold her car, so that she will not be able to drive to the abortion clinic. Furthermore, we have place a restraining order on her boyfriend from approaching our house (we have already called the police on him once), and we have also told her that if she does have an abortion, we will no longer pay for her college and not associate with her anymore, which means kicking her out of our lives and our house. Are we justified in our actions?

Your thoughts on this lady who was originally asked to change clothes in order to fly on this Southwest flight.

Her skirt is very short, and very low....and I can only imagine what shows when her shirt ruffles, or when she sits down. If I had a child, I would be concerned about them seeing such a spectacle.

However, is this prudish? Does it really matter what she wears as long as her privates do not show? bikinis on the beach show more....however, that is on the beach.....

I'm torn as to my feelings...her right to wear what she wants...our right to not be insulted by seeing her "ladyhood"....

Your thoughts?

I dreamed of a black kitten that was very friendly and playful, it came up to me and let me hold it and pet it. I know that some say that cats are bad luck but i find that hard to believe. The kitten was no more than 5 months old and it was so real that i could feel it purr and it's fur was so soft. What does this mean? i hope someone can tell me.

There always saying stupid stuff like: all blacks act ghetto, whites are stuck up, asians are smart, blondes have more fun etc.
Whether its a Good stereotype or bad it bugs me so much that someone would judge a whole race, size, hair color, eye color etc. of people to act & do the same things.
So this question mainly goes out to the stereotypes out there...
why?

Allah SWT said in the Quran that you have messengers and prophets unto thee that where sent for you to choose from and for you to follow inshAllah and he said that Muhammed SAW was the best of those to follow and I am positive the people of the book are protected also that means of the past prophets and peace to them and their families always from Adam to Muhammed SAW. The Lord also said that if we follow anyone today aftter Muhammed that is not guided that we would surely fall astray to evil and wrong doing and or transgression. So I ask you will you pick up your book and look for yourself the truth or do you still require the news of today and yestardady to come?

We call for peace and there is a temple we have and nothing we do intentionally should harm it or others we call for standing peace with pens and books inshAllah tahaha = God Willing Most High. :)

I personally like:


A mother was preparing pancakes for her sons, Kevin,
5, and
Ryan, 3. The boys began to argue over who would get
the first
pancake. Their mother saw the opportunity for a moral
lesson.
"If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, 'Let my
brother
have the first cake. I can wait."
Kevin turned to his younger brother and said, "Ryan,
you be
Jesus!"

In my school I'm not popular and even though I'm Puerto Rican all the boys in my class call me white just because I have light skin and freckles! They also think I act "white" because I'm into rock music and my style. I just want to know what to do about it because I'm getting annoyed. I don't want to offend any one I just hate it when people think something just because of the way I look.

The Man Rules-------------------
At last a guy has taken the time to write this all down



We always hear " the rules"
From the female side.



Now here are the rules from the male side.


These are our rules!
Please note.. these are all numbered "1 "
ON PURPOSE!



1. Men are NOT mind readers.

1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.

1. Sunday sports It's like the full moon
or the changing of the tides.
Let it be.

1. Crying is blackmail.

1. Ask for what you want.
Let us be clear on this one:
Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work!
Obvious hints do not work!
Just say it!

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every
question.

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it.
That's what we do.
Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.


1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument.

In fact, all comments become Null and void after 7 Days.


1. If you think you're fat, you probably are.
Don't ask us.

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of
the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one

1. You can either ask us to do something
Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both.
If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during
commercials..

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do
we.

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a
fruit. We have no idea what mauve is.

1. If it itches, it will be scratched.
We do that .

1. If we ask what is wrong and you say "nothing," We will act
like nothing's wrong.
We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle.

1. If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an
answer you don't want to hear.

1. When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is
fine... Really .

1. Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are
prepared to discuss such topics as baseball
or golf.

1. You have enough clothes.

1. You have too many shoes.

1. I am in shape. Round IS a shape!

1. Thank you for reading this.
Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight;


But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.

Atheist and Agnostic Only. What is a moral or ethical stance you wish to share with your more Religious brethren?

I hope this isn't an inappropriate question. I just wish to know. I know you have morals and ethical standards that match your more Religious brethren. I just wish to know where you stand on topics of your choice. Just call it curiosity and stupidity put together to form one big ball of wanting to know more.

The Declaration of Independence, created and signed by our founding fathers, refer to our Creator over 15 times in the Dec of Ind, and also in the Bill of Rights.

Whether you believe in "God" the Father of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ or not, how can you stand living here when all of our laws and principles are based on the idea of God, our Creator.

Just wondering.
