Of course i know i can stomp on the floor, and to all the women out there, of course i know i can go and politely tell them they are being loud and we can sit down and have milk and cookies but where's the fun in that. Looking for something creative, yet practical. Its in a college apartment and i have people all around me so blasting music myself will only have the snowball effect...

Allah says to Muslim,

I will supply you beutiful young girls.
I will also supply you wine.
I will supply you comforted couches

If any person offer you to supply all above mentioned things what will you call him?

For example: radiocarbon dating, fossilized remains of pre-historic creatures, vestigial organs (body parts that serve no purpose, as in wings on an ostrich), dinosaurs, etc. There seems to be so much scientific data that indicates that the earth is in fact billions of years old and that animals did indeed evolve. How can I keep my faith in God despite all of this data?

to quantify infinity, qualify divinity, measure the duration of eternity, and know all that there is to know about the totality of existence?

They cannot. Just because they cannot does not mean that our universe is an entity on to itself. Maybe it means that an infinity, divinity, eternally one remains hidden to scientifically reproducible discovery because scientists are too limited in their abilities to gather evidence, make inferences and draw conclusions.

How do your limited abilities to gather evidence, make inferences and draw conclusions prevent you from being able to rule out and or disprove a number, variety and diversity of myths about self and world only limited by truth and knowledge based on scientifically reproducible discovery and our creative abilities and powers of imagination. Agreed?

that talking in tongues is REAL? Almost every professional linguist who has studied divinely inspired glossolalia has admitted that believers are speaking a REAL language -- it is not just a combonation of social pressure and imbalanced brain-chemistry prompted by cult-like zeal.

How do you explain that the Holy Spirit speaks through the children of men?

I always been tp a private school But since i was 6 i went to a private catholic school, and i was fine. But when i gradauted from the school my mom chose a christian private school for highschool. For some reason, going to this school is making me care less bout religion. I'm starting to get tired with all the religous talk and talking bout the bible.
Is this normal? Should i do something bout it? I used to like religion class everything, but for some reason my interest is drifting away. Is it the school or is it just me.
btw.im catholic.

Nicole Brown was a cheater and Goldman was a pathetic little wimp. I admire him because he offed them and he got away with it. Goldman's family are still little weaklings. Goldman could NOT stand up to OJ and that is why he went down. Nicole was a lil ^&*^( that always nagged at OJ so she deserved it too

I mean, surely it makes sense that if Christians go out into the wilds of South East Asia to spread their stuff to the pacific islanders, how come Atheists didn't try to even up the score? You know.... that's how it works doesn't it? G v E or sommat. (Oh .. that? - Good versus Evil of course - what else)

It's okay, because Jesus has paid the sin of circular reasoning.

I am planning to go to Grad school to study Theology. Now, I have the options to study Greek or Latin (Most likely I will study Greek). Anyway, my question is, since I am planning to self-study, I know I need to learn to understand, read, and write it but WHEN I STUDY ANCIENT GREEK OR LATIN, DO I ALSO NEED TO LEARN HOW TO SPEAK THEM?

*I mean, I know that It's kind of weird but since I will be researching Greek or Latin texts and READING them, do I still need to know how to speak it?

THANKS!

translation of the original texts. My husband however, came to know Christ by reading the NIV Bible and loves it very much. He knows the NIV is not good and it leaves many original verses out and agrees that its not ok, but he still has the NIV as his primary Bible. I want to get rid of it because it is a bad Bible. Those who agree with me know what i mean. I want to know from those of you who agree with me that the King James is the best, what should I do about this situation where I don't want our future children reading the NIV and want to get rid of it. Now I know that they might be reading it somewhere else, but having their father read it gives them a reason to say, well if daddy reads it its not so bad which will create problems in our family...

I have a sister who was introducted to G12. G12 has consumed her life and is cult like.My sister and I used to be best friends, but she has turned against me and vaguely remembers her past.All of the members of the church have to go to meetings, cell groups, take written tests, and do certain things certain ways 24/7.She still lives with my family but we never see her anymore because she spends almost every day of her life at the church.It worries me because she is currently engaged to marry a guy who is in hopes of becoming a pastor for one of the churches.This is like watching a train wreck and it feels that there's nothing that I can do.Every time I try to talk to her she talks about God and criticizes me for who I am.I do consider myself a Christian,but I dont believe that churches should discriminate or make church about things not envolving religion itself.(with tests, manditory meetings, etc.)I want her to be happy but this is destroying all of our lives.I lost my best friend.

Which is better, to forgive or attack?

Courteous answers only please, and forgive me if my question offends you.

I am quite intrigued by many of the arguments that I have read for there being no God, some using very capable logic. Although I was raised as Christian, my views on God now are hardly parallel to the traditional points of view. Still, it is quite difficult for me to comprehend an end to my own existence, mostly from my own experiences (such as one out-of-body experience when I was 18... don't laugh), rather than what I was taught in Sunday School. My question is, do atheists believe in any kind of existence after the death of the body, and if so, what kind of existence? I understand that you wouldn't believe it would be in some kind of heaven, or with some Supreme Deity. Is there merely an end to all cognizance, wherein everything would be black, such as in an unconscious state? These questions are not meant to inflame, but are truly slated for more understanding of my own world and concepts. Thank you in advance for honest and sincere replies.
