Just wondering. We waited until the last minute last year and it didn't work so well. What date do you think they should be mailed out?

In other words, how is Christianity different from other religions? Please dont give me an answer like "It's the truth."

I was raised Traditional Catholic and this was one thing they preached that I always had a problem with. How is it a babies' fault that he wasn't baptised before he died?

As far as Limbo being an actualy place goes, the explanation I was given was that there had to be a place for all the "Saints" of the Old testament (Moses, King David, etc.) to wait until Jesus died on the cross to open the gates of heaven.

So is it all B.S. or what?

Have you noticed the president of Iran deferred to God and God's plan sveral times in all of his interviews.

He talks about God a lot!

Lee Bollinger, undermined his own case for freedom of speech in his insulting introduction in which he described the university's guest as exhibiting "all the signs of a petty and cruel dictator" and expressed the hope that Mr Ahmadinejad would not remain in office.

Iran is within its rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty to develop nuclear energy for peaceful purposes,

UN inspectors have not proved any deviation of Iran's programme towards military research,

He argued that Iran needs to be self-reliant in producing its own nuclear fuel for energy because it had been let down by several western suppliers since the days of the Shah.

He also pointed out that the UN inspectors have certified that Iran has not enriched uranium beyond the level of five per cent, which is the grade required to power a civilian reactor.

Human history shows that violence begets violence and hate begets hate. Common sense says if you’re fighting a fire you use a water hose, not a flame thrower.

I see people insulting others on here quite a bit, and many otherwise intelligent and respectable people seem to think it's justifiable if they weren't the one to start the petty name-calling.

I understand how it feels to reach a breaking point and lash out. I've been guilty of this more than once. But do you think it's right to try and justify acting just as silly and hateful as the one who is attacking you simply because they started it?

It's that type of playground logic that seems to dictate R&S on days like this.

The world is full of false prophets. Psychics. Channelers. People who follow their "spirit guides." They've been around since the beginning. They'll be around until the end. What you and I have to do is to have enough discernment to distinguish the true prophets from the false ones. So if the person you're listening to predicts the future, and is right, but is leading you away from the Jesus of the Bible - the REAL Jesus - then that person is not a prophet. You should stop listening. If the person you're listening to predicts the future and is ever wrong, then that person is not a prophet. You should stop listening. And if anything the person says is in conflict with one word of God's Word, close your ears to anything that person has to say.

Use Google images, and look up "eagle nebula pillars". Click on some of the pictures and look at them. Do you see all of those sparks floating around it? Those are actually clusters of stars, millions of times as large as our sun. Imagine how huge they are! Light, which travels at over 186,000 miles per SECOND, takes years to travel from one end of the pillars to the other.

Doesn't it make you amazed at how small we are in comparison? Imagine those sparkling star clusters as atoms, or, imagine the countless atoms inside of our own bodies as stars and galaxies. Imagine how colossal humans are!

I'm sure I bored most of you. I'm not exactly a poet. But I hope some of you felt the same I thing I felt.

Wouldn't God have inspired this as well? Why would God inspire the English providentially accurate, but then allow misleading chapter headings? (Every chapter of the Song of Songs is interpreted as descriptive of the church. This is wrong. SoS is God's "mate selection manual." Also, Isa 22 "He prophesieth Shebna's deprivation, and Eliakim, prefiguring the kingdom of Christ, his substitution" This is wrong and reflect the incorrect theology of the day.)

Can you get a Jewish cat, or a Muslim fish, or a Christian Gerbil? Do animals, as they are created by 'the higher force' adhere to a religion. Any ideas?

I am interested to know what drew you into Christianity, and what you are getting out of it (if you are of a different religious background, feel free to write down your answer too)?

Ray Charles did it to religious songs...would religious people dare do it to regular songs? There is a lot of badly sexual songs that I really like the beat to (really soothing and relaxing, or more up beat and motivational) but the lyrics are sooo sexual it makes me blush to even think. For my own personal enjoyment, if I changed the lyrics, would I still be considered sinful because of it being a worldly song? I would really like religious people to weigh in on this one.

I call the holy spirit evil alot. Donno why. Guess I reallt hate God. Or is it actually believing that the holy spirit is evil?

Do you get frustrated with the "all or nothing" attitudes of people on both sides of the arguement?

For example:

Those who think just because the government no longer favors imposed public prayer on everyone that it means they are unable to pray PERIOD in school.

vs.

Those who make a big hissy fit over God on our currency or in the Pledge or Christmas decorations etc.

I am so fed up of all the time, money and politics devoted to bantering over private spiritual, sexual and philosphical matters when we have far more pressing issues- healthcare, education, national security, abysmal foreign policy fallout, immigration, taxes and suffering middle and class!

When will people be empowered enough in their own beliefs, spirituality or convictions not to require mass conversion of the opposing side for their own peace of mind?

Especially when it comes to things that are so personal, subjective and really not a matter of our society's survival?

Your thoughts?
