Personally I think it's undemocratic to have an unelected head of state especially if they have real power and costs a fortune. What's your opinion?

If it isn't, why not? How would you apply the same reasoning to other written material such as the Bible?

We had our annual church picnic the other day. It was going good for a while. Then this guy Joe showed up. He's 3 years older than I am, went to high school with him. he's a "member" of our church, but never does anything. We do not like each other. He started problems with me and my 7 year old sister. I was the bigger man. I held my sister's hand and walked away. He pulled me on the shoulder and said don't turn away from him. I told him I want no problems and that to let go of me. Instead, he called me vulgar names and I tried to walk away. He grabbed me by the throat and started to choke me. I know some self-defense. I wasn't going to be choked out. I grabbed his pinkies, bent them backwards, and broke them. I then kneed him in the nuts and grabbed my sister and went to my parents. the members of our church are FURIOUS! I explained to them what I did was within MY right to safety. They said I should've waited for an "adult" to show up (i'm 20) and handle the situation.

He presented Himself as the Life giver.. John 10:10 said.. I have come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly"
He also said that He is the Bread of Life. The Living Water.. The Light of Life..The Resurrection and the Life..
So much " Life" to be had through this One.
Why do you believe that the Lord saw Himself as this to man. Not only does He give us eternal Life as something in the end.. This Life that He offers to us is for our day to day Living.
Share some more please on this matter of " Life" and why do you believe the Lord presents Himself to the world in such an edible way...i.e. " bread" "water"

Ty all

I would like to join Alpha Phi Omega, a service fraternity but I am unsure of the INC rules & regulations.

I’m serious; I would honestly like to know why people believe we are not true Christians. We can easily trace our leaders straight to the apostles. Jesus told Paul that what he says is law. Then the whole ‘You are the rock I build my church on’ – to me it’s clear but I do not understand why other people say its not.

What does submission mean to you, does it mean being a fundementalist? Why do you fear things you can't understand?

I'm 14-years-old (Just in case you wanted to know) and my problem is that I don't believe in God. Just a few minutes ago my parents found out about that and they're pissed off at me... I want to believe that there is a God, but I don't have any proof that he does. Can you help me believe in him PLEASE?

Perhaps Im biased, because as an Atheist I cant see how this is possible. I hear people say this all the time on here, and I would just like to know your story. I`m not asking anyone to justify their reasons for becoming a believer. But, how did you go from one end to the other?

I know that JW's New World Translation staes in John 1:1 that Jesus is " a god ". So if Jehovah is one true God, is Jesus a false god?

How do you see it?

Did you ever bother putting yourself in others shoes or, are your shoes quite comfortable. And if you did that then why are you running to buy a new pair again?

Did you read the question "If you are an atheist..how did you become one". ? It tells their "stories". Maybe it'll help you understand them better. I'm not "answering my own question"...I'm asking if you read this. Thanks.

how do you react or how would you react if you told a Christian (either you knew it or not) about a problem that you were facing and their main response would be that they would pray for you?

Biologist
NEIL deGRASSE TYSON:" While we don't yet know how the spark of life occurred, we can try to figure out where it might have gotten a foothold."

"And because the planet was under such devastating assault from comets and meteors, the leap to life may not have taken place up here on Earth's surface. To take hold, life may have needed a safe haven, perhaps underground."

A team of scientists descends into one of the deepest mines on Earth to investigate whether microbial life can survive far below the Earth's surface

NEIL deGRASSE TYSON: In a makeshift lab near the mine, the team attempts to recreate the environment deep inside the rock. And they have found that these microbes are dining on a variety of strange gases.
