I mean explicitly Christian ones that try to sell a side of Gospel with your order, like Chick-Fil-A, or companies like Hobby Lobby and Domino's that fund Christian Right activities.

Like these:

Why or why not?

Also, if you feel uncomfortable with a company's Christian agenda, do you worry that you're being intolerant?

I mean how many people out there really follow Jesus' ideas and beliefs? How many out there really behave like Jesus to follow this concept? I have met thousands of Christians and so far not one has been able to do it, yet they all say it. Let's read some honest answers, not scripture. I don't do thumbs down so go for it. Tell me what you think.
Mean and hateful responses will just prove my point further.

There seems to be some confusion within the Woodruffite (LDS Church) faction of Mormonism that the term "Mormon" only applies to them. Many people within this faction advocate the misconception that members of the FLDS, RLDS/CoC, TLC, Remnant, Temple Lot, Strangite, and Bickertonite Mormon Churches aren't actually Mormons.

Southern Baptists aren't the only Baptists. United Methodists aren't the only Methodists. Roman Catholics aren't the only Catholics. Likewise, LDS Mormons aren't the only Mormons.

Mormonism as a denomination is very broad and encompasses all churches that view Joseph Smith as a prophet of God and the Book of Mormon as an authoritative volume of scripture.

Thus, Warren Jeffs, as FLDS president, is NOT a member of the LDS Church, but he IS indeed a Mormon.

Why do you think some LDS claim exclusive ownership of the term "Mormon"?

I have seen lots of questions and answers debating on the true day of the Lord. God of Heaven. If Saturday is really the Lords Sabbath day, is there a day of the Devil? If so, what day would that be?

I was in cub scouts about 25 years ago and just took my son to sign up for his first time and it seems to be done a little different when I was a kid.
I remeber starting out as a Webelo and then moving up to a Bobcat, where now Webelo is the highest ranking in Cub Scouts.
Am I remembering it wrong. I just remember feeling a little on the outside because the older boys were cool animals and we were corn.

. . .. . just believing what we believe and letting others do the same?

the morbidly curious side of me always makes me click on the "society and culture" link here in Y!A and all i see is people arguing....on sides that are pre-decided....along the lines of their 'contacts.' good points are consistently ignored in what i can only imagine is in the name of 'face-saving' and brutal stubbornness.

this is true for all questions, but aggravatingly true for the religion questions. i don't know. i'm just venting. i'd love anyone else's thoughts.

Like if Allah gave you your own private Island and told you that you can have as many husbands as you wished for and that no other woman will ever be able to have sex with them except for you. How many husbands would you ask for and would they all be one nationality? Or would they be from all national backgrounds?

personally i think all telescopes are bunch of toys taking fake pictures. there are only 5000 stars in universe and they're fixed to solid firmament as mentioned in Genesis.

solar system is a lie and earth is flat immobile circle.

please take bible literally or you are a fool. scientists should grow up too.

My wife and I were watching,
'Extreme Makeover-Home Edition',
The family in question were the Oaten-Gate family from the New York area. They consist of the mum and four children she has fostered who all have HIV or AIDS.
One part of the show focused on the rebuild of a retreat for literally dozens of kids, teens and young adults with the AIDS virus or HIV. They had a campfire type meeting with much hugging and singing and the like when this happened;

A young girl about 16 yrs of age told of how she was born with HIV because her mother was unknowingly infected when she was born, and how,. . . . . .this is the part that needs explaining. . . . . . . .as a christian, she was thrown out of her local church on easter sunday! For being HIV+ !! Through no fault of her own !!

Can anyone who considers themself a christian give a reasonable explanation for this totally un-christian-like behaviour?
The actual church wasn't named so I don't know the faith involved.

NOT A ONE SCENTENCE ANSWERABLE QUESTION.

It is thought by some that the demand woman have had to work in the past and the fight for equality among men, has made life more difficult for women whom wish to stay home. Because annual household income directly regulates the price of living due to inflation, Is it not true that since women demanded to work has now made the economy demand for woman to work in order to reach the american standard of living? Please provide sample text to support your theories and explinations.

According to the theory of evolution the first living cells came from a chemical soup billions of years ago, why can't we create life in the science lab, most atheist want to forget about the famous Dr. Miller experiment, where he failed to make the simplest fatty lipid cell in the science lab, so theres absolutly no proof? if it can't be proven in science why is it cosidered science? Thats why atheist still believe in spontanous generation or "abogenesis" even though is already been proven wrong..life only cames from pre exsisting life law of boigenesis. Do you know that one strand of DNA contains 600,000 pages worth of information? does that type of complicated life come from dirt and water or any chemical? Science says no, atheist say yes, wheres the common sense? I would like constructive answers, so far I've been getting no answers just alot of crying and name calling... and that doesn't answer the facts that I presented...

And that neither is "look out the window", and "look in the mirror".

Right?

Well if you do, then why try to use that kind of crap to prove your religion?

Because you have nothing else?

And before you say it, yes I realize that not all Christians do this, I'm talking to the ones that do. And there's a heck of alot of you that do.

Romans 1
In the Epistle to the Romans 1:26-27 (TNIV), Paul writes

“ Because of this [idolatry], God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.
1 Corinthians 6; 1 Timothy 1
In 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 (TNIV), Paul says:

“ Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor practicing homosexuals nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.

Are you asking Christians to shut up about Scripture or just dis-regard it entirely and why would we?

I have a Catholic Bible in Spanish that belongs to my wife and it says that God used the big bang and evolution to create man..

First, read article below, then answer..I'm not trying to convert you, but just to ponder some things.. that's all. If you want an excellent argument from a scientists standpoint on the argument that there has to be a cause (a creator) for the effect (The universe), that proves the atheists theories that 1) the universe came out of nothing 2) the universe is eternal (Stephan Hawking dismisses this theory) go against basic laws. Although, this article does not stand to present a God/Religion.. It proves that the atheist views about the 'beginning' or 'what has always been' are not sound (based on scientifically proven laws).. It wouldn't work any better than to imagine a dough nut in your hand right now and having it appear. If atheists dare, open your minds and read this article written by Ph.D., Bert Thompson with excepts from scientific studies regarding this subject.. here it is, and I wish you the best on your journey. http://www.apologeticspress.org/articles...
