I'm not gay, but I just find it hard to believe that God would send someone to Hell based soley on that reason, ignoring the kind of person that they are. We are all sinners and if all sinners went to hell, there would be noone in Heaven.

I'm under the assumption that you're all to strive to be like Jesus, and to forgive people as he did, am I correct?

If not, what do you consider to be "christ-like"?

If so, shouldn't this mean that after you punish the first child, all the other children have to do to gain forgiveness of wrong-doing is apologize? After all, Jesus was punished for YOUR sins, so that you don't have to suffer the consequences of them if you ask for forgiveness, why can't you show the same to your children and others. Shouldn't you just forgive anyone of anything if they ask you? Shouldn't there be no consequence, just as there is no consequence for you?

Muslim, Jew, Methodist, Hindu, we who believe in God are always going to be assaulted by the ignorant masses who reject Him.

My neighbor just died and the during the wake, I overheard someone ask the grieving wife if he can purchase one of their cars (now that they only need one).

The guy was trying to talk prices and really holding up the receiving line...

Sickening! What would you have done? Anyone have any similiar stories?

Watch the answers. A crack addict will always start his answer with a comment about drugs. They will suggest that because of your question-"that is over their head"-that you are using drugs. Just about any question is over their head. What their unconscious goal is, is to displace their unhappiness and addiction on to others. So they look for any little "crack" they can get their foot into. Good luck guys. You will always get straight true advice from me. Quit drugs or kill yourself. You are hurting people who love you.

I don't mean it as a slang term for an older woman on the prowl either jokers. I am talking about a real feline cougar. THere is one moving up and down the milk river here and I heard it scream last night. It is very eerie.

Why would God wait until the Qu'ran, 4500 years or so to reveal a creation that was before man?

Wasn't these creatures taken from Jewish fables?
Second Targum of Esther?

Why would God copy a fable wouldn't he know this was a fable?

Its forbidden in the Bible, yet most Christians eat it anyway. I'm Christian and I avoid Pork. The reason that I mostly avoid it is because pigs are smart and are anatomically very simliliar to humans. Those who have tasted human flesh say that it tastes identical to pork. To eat it would make me feel close to being a cannibal. I rarely eat meat, but when I do, I most stick to poultry and fish because of their lower intelligence and for health reasons.

"To allow ourselves to be dependent on some vast Thing created by the Merchants of Greed is madness. It is time to cut out what we do not need so we can live more simply and happily. Good food, comfortable clothes, serviceable housing, and true culture - those are the things that matter. The only way this can happen is by ordinary people - us - boycotting the huge multinational corporations that are destroying our Earth, and creating a new Age - an Age of Healing in place of the current Age of Plunder.

Self-sufficiency does not mean ’going back’ to the acceptance of a lower standard of living. On the contrary, it is the striving for a higher standard of living; for food that is fresh and organically grown and good; for the good life in pleasant surroundings; for the health of body and peace of mind that come with hard, varied work in the open air; and for the satisfaction that comes from doing difficult and intricate jobs well and successfully."

Just to clarify I'm a Muslim.

You say that Jesus is God and that he was born from Mary through a miracle (I agree with him being born from Mary through a miracle). Yet you say he is God's son and that Mary is God's wife. How can he be his own father? Does the whole "Trinity" concept make sense to you? If it does can you help me understand?

By the way I'm not trying to taunt you I just wanna know. Thanks.

I wouldn't mind, especially if it would put a sock in the mouth of all the misotheists. I'll pay an extra tax to be a Christain in a Muslim Theocracy.

Why do some of you get offended if you were to be called black (when a person is describing someone, I.E. the news) and yet we (white people) would be considered crazy if we said "Call us European Americans" rather than white? This is not a mean spirited question, just a question.

Ralph came home drunk one night, slid into bed beside
his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber.
He awoke before the Pearly Gates, where St.Peter said,
"You died in your sleep, Ralph."
Ralph was stunned. "I'm dead? No, I can't be! I've got
too much to live for. Send me back!
St. Peter said, "I'm sorry, but there's only one way you
can go back, and that is as a chicken."
Ralph was devastated, but begged St. Peter to send him
to a farm near his home.

I am a Deist, but I attend a non-denominational Christian Church with my wife. Yesterday, before church, I was feeling somewhat depressed and my anxiety was high for no particular reason. At church, many of the people were friendly to me. I got hugs from several ladies and social interaction with many of the men about things like football, work, etc. (Of course, none of them know I am not a Christian) Our kids were playing and having fun. The music which was played by the Christian Rock band sounded nice. I must admit that all of these things made me feel better. As I stood there listening to the music, I could not help but wonder if this warm, fuzzy feeling that I got from the music, social interaction and friendly people is what people mistake for being God or the Holy Spirit. I, being familiar with the ridiculous inconsistencies of the Bible, was able to remain grounded in reality, but I could see how someone who desperately wanted to believe in a higher power could think this warm, fuzzy feeling, was something supernatural. My question is: Anyone that knows anything about human psychology knows that being warm and friendly to one another, listening to music, and helping each other can dramatically lift the spirits of people. So, what do you think made me feel better yesterday? Was it God, or was it simply nice people and social interaction? I believe it was the latter.

I had one, two years ago....long story, but i have been on here, asking about the afterlife, as a friend passed last week, and i am trying to console another friend, as i am convinced they are in the Spirit World now, as i have *seen* it for myself.
I was given a link to a website, all about Near Death Experience, and i am gobsmacked! at the things i read. Not only, have i changed as a person, i have become very! compassionate, to the needs of others, i always was, but i am more so now. I took in a homeless pregnant girl, for a short period, as she needed help, even though, it was very inconvenient, as i have a large family, but i had to help her, i wanted to. I have also acquired an aversion to meat????? i LOVED meat, before my accident, and experience, but for some unknown reason, i cannot! stomach it. I live on fish. The site said, in most cases, NDE r`s develop an aversion to meat! I am totally gobsmacked now, could this just be a coincidence?
