My children and wife are asleep. We have already said the "I love you" and parted to our rooms.
I believe I would just do the same ole thing.
Go to sleep in Jesus listening to Alistair Begg, Chuck Swindol, or listening to the Bible I have downloaded on my media player.
Do you have this kind of peace?
You can.

I heard that the Pope is only infallible when he is ex cathedra. What does this mean? Also, what happens if the ruling of a pope appears to contradict a previous ruling by another or the same pope?

Dont you think it is possible with how much space is out there that there are more planets that are livable just like ours....Earth is seriously like 1/900000000220228136099992886486129846 of the galaxy.

Isnt it also possible that heaven is somewhere in the galaxy? You have to also remember that the Bible is written 2000 years ago. They wouldnt be able to explain things like we can of anything, their minds back then were so ignorant compared to ours right now.

There are 6.5 billion people on earth, 10 million in 30 years. Back in the 1700's there were 750 million people, think about how fast we are reproducing. Dont you think that the revelation part of the Bible is coming soon? Right now if you look around the devil is everywhere, he is literally everywhere. Everyone have bad urges and think about things that we can say are ok now because society taught us that. Nobody has faith anymore and just live like they want, and dont SERIOUSLY think about consequence.

Alright now I believe I am bi-curious (definitely attracted to both genders sexually but I'm still young so I don't know if I can call myself bi) but anyway I have been thinking alot about one of my teachers, okay two of my teachers. One is this really hot science teacher (guy) the other is a really beautiful math teacher (woman) and I just want to know does this make me some kind of creep? I know they are my teachers and obviously older than me so nothing could happen but I think they are both attractive. Does that make me some kind of a bad person? Does God frown upon such things? I'm really nervous because I feel bad about it. So please is there anything wrong am I some kind of perverted freak? PLEASE NO RUDE ANSWERS! thank you

I mean, it's like eleven o'clock at night here. Well he said he wanted to tell me about the "truth", but he had one hand in his pants pocket, and , well kept ....fidgeting. He had a Watchtower magazine, but, he seemed, more "excited" about the good news than should be reasonably expected. My husband came close by the door and the guy ran away down the street. Do you think it was a real Jehovah's Witness knocking so late?

The site allows people to have fans. Are you a fan of someone? If so, why? DO you obsessively follow the questions they ask?

In other words, when am I gonna get some fans *or a few stars* :P

Today was one of those days when I could've went over the edge. However, in the middle of rush hour traffic, I pulled over to the side of the road...and screamed. It came from deep inside me and lasted all of three seconds. I closed my eyes and gave it my all. I looked over to notice that a fellow commuter gave me a thumbs up. I actually felt better. Go figure.

OK to clarify. How can anything someone were to do in a near ephemeral lifespan, warrant an eternal torture? Even serial murders, rapist, child molesters, or any other abominable blight to humanity shouldn't deserve eternal torture, should they? They might deserve to be completely obliterated if they truly were purely evil, having absolutely not a shred of good in them, but what constitutes such a person? however before I ramble too much I'll let you answer the question.

Also a bonus question to Christians if we do deserve an eternal torture them why isn't Jesus taking our place in hell?

Why would the dolphin evolve on land, then return to the sea where it would have to re-evolve every feature that it had spent millions of years working on?

There is an entity that created the entire universe, all Billions and Billions plus galaxies of the universe, and this entity cares so much about a species of primates on an obscure planet orbiting an ordinary yellow sun in one of these galaxies, that he incarnates himself as one of them.
He dies after spreading wisdom that is at times contradictory with earlier more violent and pathological messages he gave to others centuries prior to his incarnation as a man.
And he winds up being killed by the local authorities despite being all powerful.
He does this in a manner that mirrors many of the local myths (Virgin birth, torture and resurrection, miracles performed, etc)
Not only that but believing in this will ensure that your synaptic patterns will survive the death of your brain.
The only evidence for any of this is a 2000+year old book from Judeah.
And no other proof can be given, because faith is required for this to work for you.
Now that I sound it out-I'm a believer(

I recently started a new job at a beautiful vacation resort. Although the job is great & my co-workers are friendly. I feel as if I'm being left out. The women all sport Louie Vuitton, Channel this, Jimmy Choo that. The men talk about the speeds of their boats and their weekend golf matches. The other day when I was asked for id & could not find my drivers license, HR told me to just show my passport. When I replied I didn't have one she seemed shocked, "you've never been out of the states?" was her reply. One of my "twenty something" co-workers has just left on a two week trip to London. Look...I've got four kids and bills that give birth to more bills! I shop at Wal-Mart and I make cuisine meals out of Raman noodles. I hate to seem anti-social, but I'm so out of place around them. A luxury trip to me is going to Disney once every three years. Does anyone understand?

Someone (or something) posted a question saying "Fellow atheists! has christianity been sufficiently marginalized yet in your view?" This was after, along with other atheists, posting a string of horrible answers on other people's questions. Does this enlighten you about atheism?
