Someone told me a story where this super-being exists that you can't look at or you'll die and made two people out of clay, then those two people had babies who populated the world.
Then this being killed everything on the planet except for ONE family, only a few thousand years ago.

Then those people repopulated the earth and this being picked a small club of people to be His favorites and then did all kinds of miracles and then had his people kill buttloads of other people over and over again (even though there's no history of any of this)

Then "God" (who is three people in one) sent one of himself to change everything again and so he could defeat Satan and rescue everybody in the world

they told me to use this incantation to summon this God, but I just didn't feel or see anything.

And the really scary part is that he told me that if I didn't believe this story, I'd die and burn forever!
Is this like one of those chain-mail scam things?

Who would believe this stuff?

Are these good things? If so, why aren't you Christian?

I'm waiting for the commercial that asks "Getting out of bed and starting your day disorder". (GOOBASYDD)

Or one that says "Putting on your socks and shoes syndrome" (POYSASS)

Here's a good one, "Moving off your chair and getting exercise disease" (MOYCAGED)

Often when I ask a Bible question and one comes in to bash on us, I go to their open questions and either they have them blocked or resolve them immediately , could that be they don't want us to have the same opportunity as they do to jump in
and express our opinion in their area ??? just curious as I have been checking this for months and it APPEARS that way to me but I am only one person

I can't be there to support him, I'm at school and it's a 9 hour drive (not to mention her funeral is today). How can I still show my support for my friend?

For example, 18, and then they were taught about all religions equally and in an unbiased way, would as many of them accept it as they do when they're taught to believe in a specific religion from a young age?

Please, if you can't answer this question without being offensive, don't answer.

OUr minds our limited science will never get to uncover all the secrets of God to his creations. To those people out there who don't beliebe in God John 20:29 says:
"Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."

P.S. Of course you will never understand the mysteries of God unless he wants to reveal it to you! He always has existed and this is something science will never prove because God does not reveal his secrets to people who don't believe, he reveals his secretes to people that believe in him!

right for a U.S. citizen to own and use a gun?

If God won't take you, remind him that he has been overruled by the Constitution of the United States. Even God can't fight the Constitution.

The United States Rules. God Follows. (As it has been ever since the U.S. found it could use religion to justify whatever it wants to do).

You have even heard Bush doing it on television.

A boy brings a toy gun to school, walking down the hall saying just you wait it will be your turn soon. Another boy tackles him knocking him out. The second boy is arrested and charged with attempted murder, the first is set free. After all bringing a fake gun to school is just a childish prank. Now we know if this really happened the first boy would have been arrested for making threats on someones life, which is against the law in every state. Well a noose is a threat just like a gun, it has been a weapon that has killed thousands, the difference is most those that died have been black people. Im not saying that nothing should be done, I think both parties should recieve appropriate punishments. And that is why the Jena 6 deserve everyones attention, after all are we not all americans? There are people taking thier last breath, fighting for the very freedoms that are taken for granit. Thats people of all colors fighting side by side, to protect all of us.

How could he have sinned? Don't you think the God character over-reacted, just a bit? Didn't God know Adam was going to eat the fruit anyway? Why not just remove the tree?

If you leave an open bottle of bleach on the floor and tell your toddler not to drink it, is it really their fault if you stand by and watch as they proceed to go to the bleach and drink it anyway?

Example...
Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, House of Flying Daggers, Kill Zone, Hero, Curse of the Golden Flower, The Promise (kind of), and many other Chinese dramas. Is there some cultural significance to this?

"An employee of the network leaked information about a production meeting regarding a potential new show titled “Interracial Love.” According to the employee, network execs passed on the idea because it would feature professional black women who choose to look beyond race to find true love. The images would be in direct contrast to those shown on such coon-like shows as “Flavor of Love” and its spawns “I Love New York” and “Flavor of Love: Charm School.”

"the exec said: “It is our thoughts that the viewers are more interested in seeing black people in a ghetto role. This show will not sell.”

"A source goes on to say that : "Once they (the executives) received the treatment for the show and (saw) that this would not be a ghetto minded show they turned it down. Vh1 said this White America can only see black women as (ghetto) having educated Black women on this show will not sell."

Every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven-as mentioned in the Bible.
