Paul, old friend...Dear W&M alumni too... everyone else whom I never met and never can...

Eternal God, amidst all the turmoil and changes of our world, we know that you are constant, our firm foundation in the midst of every storm and upheaval. Bless those who have been lost, that their souls may live on in your love and presence. Bless those who mourn, may they find true comfort, great strength, and neverending hope in your presence and our compassion. May thier memories be with us forever. May God grant each of you peace in your journey and give you all enternal rest.

Amen

I drive past the St. Louis Mormon Temple every night after work and there's always smoke coming out of the ground. What are they burning?

Religion doesn't necessarily give the "right" answers yet countless people will still believe it.

Jephthah promised God that he would sacrifice whatever that comes out of his house to meet him after his victory against the Ammonites. That turned out to be his teenage daughter, his only child. Jephthah did what promised, and God accepted the virgin.
Judges 11.

Do Christians really read their Bible?

They say the reason most people become atheists is because they don't want to believe. I would like to clear up that misconception. I do want to believe in God. I really do. I just can't. I am a realist. As much as I may want it, I cannot accept a religion on faith alone. I need more then that. No one wants to believe death is the end. Only a crazy person would want that.

A few years ago, a relative I never met passed away. The only thing she knew about me was that I was about her size, so she left me a mink fur coat. Then when my parents gave me a motorcycle, a friend of my mother's gave me a nice leather jacket. I'd like to sell them both, since I sold the motorcycle long ago in favor of a 4-wheeled car that I can actually control, and never once wore the fur coat and my husband and I are college kids that always need extra cash. But I can't sell them online or anything because PETA will lynch me if they know I *gasp!* own fur and leather, even though I don't want to own them. What should I do with the coats, or where can I sell them?

why is this so hard to get through to people? i'll put it like this. we all believe policemen exists. we see them on the streets in their police cars or on the side of the road with their radar guns. yet how many of us are willing to go speeding by when we see one ready to give out a ticket to us? similarly, some 90 percent of the world's populations claims to believe in a god in one form or another. and much like the policeman, he or she is someone who is constantly watching us and will lay down the law if we step out of line. so why are so many believers so careless to break what they believe are god's laws yet pay so much more respect to man's laws? either you just don't respect god's word or you don't believe he exists. am i missing something?

I saw a little clip a while back and they asked random Christians about what was going on and where God was during the establishing of the early churches.

were a military family stationed in texas. i grew up in oklahoma. were moving to boston at the end of this month. i'm going home this week to spend some time with the family before we leave. there is one thing that really bothers me though. i'm not in any way perfect, but i uphold a certain standard for my guests. my home is always clean, theres always something in the oven, clean towels and individual soaps, shampoos, etc...for my guests. there is no nice way to put this, but.. my moms house is filthy. i mean really really dirty. i dont expect her to lay mints on my pillow or anything. it bothers so much to the point that i have turned down an overnight stay or two with her. i dont have the heart to tell her, but i have two toddlers that put everything in their mouth and that are really touchy. i really want to have a comfortable stay at her house when i visit. is there a nice way to ask someone to clean their house?

What do you have against hippys?
We never hurt anyone and it was a fun time.
Lots of loving people worried about their fellow man. Trying to spread the good news.
If acting like God and nature means more to you than acting corporate, that's a bad thing?

Such as: Why do Atheists hate Christians? Why do Christians think they are better than everyone else? Why are Americans money hungry?

I made these up, but do you get the point?

I hear and see generalities used everyday. Is this due to ignorance, laziness,...or do they actually believe what they are saying?

1) Cheat on their spouse or other people in business transactions
2) Talk gossip about others
3) Jack off and basically waste sperm - and by some peoples' definition that is murder
4) Have abortions
5) Listen to rap that degrades women and acting on the song's words
Etc......
you get the point! People claim to be religious, whether they be Jewish or Christian, but deep down they evince some sort of skepticism, because otherwise they would not do many of these things. Think about it, if you really believed God existed and there was a heaven and a hell, would you still have that abortion, or talk that gossip?

I didn't think so....
