First question: Do YOU?? Its okay if you don't, what a rediculous demand.

Second: What if the person recieves welfare and gives 10%. How wrong is that??!?! Do you think that happens often?

Do you not care what happens to the earth because you believe everyone is just going to die so what is the big deal? The Big Deal is everyone should know the LORD before the earth tops it rocker and everyone perishes without the Lord.
Russian official, Sergey Lavrov, and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice exchanged sharp words at a luncheon Wednesday on the subject. Rice pushed for tough new sanctions to pressure Iran to suspend uranium enrichment, and Lavrov said Moscow dismissed her request.
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the nuclear issue is "closed" and vowed to defy any U.N. Security Council move for more sanctions.

This was where the christian creed was rewritten in order counteract valid loopholes discovered by arius, concerning the Trinity. Does this action not just show that the church waswilling to change vital elemants of their worship just sothat othars would not steal their followers???

If they cant take the immense Theological scrutiny that comes their way.........then get out of the "harvesting" business.

Most people dont question hindu or Buddhist beliefs because they dont go around trying to convert people.

Those that do......... better be ready for the debate and challenge that will ensue to bring Truth to the surface.

While going through a raging battle, where you have are tired and going through a physical, spiritual, emotional battle all at the same time, how does one stand?

I've been going through so much. Because I am so busy and have so much pressure on me right now, I'm having a hard time not falling into peacelessness (not a word, i know) and i'm getting anxious, getting worried, and making myself sick.

i want very much so to stand during the raging storm. i pray, i read the bible.... the other night, i prayed for an hour and felt such closeness with God and peace. the next day, everything just seemed 10x worse....

how do you stand during these times?

Since most of the world believes in A higher Power, what makes you right and the whole world wrong? Is it narcissism?

Jesus supplied booze for the party when they ran out and it is considered a miracle. Is it OK to supply alcohol but not drink it? I never have understood this. Even as achild growing up in church. The sunday school teacher would give some poor excuse like "wine was non-alcolholic back then."

I can assure you that there is nothing to fear but fear itself. Anyone who tells you your gonna go to hell for not doing what is given to you to believe by them is nothing more then a liar.

"Divine justice" for all those times we were trying to convert you?

Seriously though, I've seen a huge increase in the amount of Muslims that are attempting to convince Christians to convert to Islam.

Anybody have any ideas on why this is? Or have snarky comments to add?

By the way, no offense to Muslims intended. Not making a judgment, just an observation.

What if everyone just lived in their happy little religion bubble and didn't try to change anyone else? Would that be alright, or would we still need to get rid of religion?

I just read an article about the sex on campus of Duk eUniveristy in light of that scandal they had with the lax players and while I knew lots of people on the campus of the school I went to, had a good time, and accomplished some personal and professional goals at my school, being 3 years out of college and single for all that time, I kind of feel......I don't know inadequate?

Im working a job that pays the bills but isn't what I went to college for, and I only been with one person. Meanwhile all they talked about in the article was how superficial and successful people there were.

Ladies, is a guy a failure in life if he wasn't a manwhore in collwege? Let's say I had my moments in that dept. like everyone else, but the fact that I haven't had as many one night stands makes me feel like I missed out?
Is it common to feel this way if you didn't go to a D-1 college?
Did I miss out? In the midst of good times, I've had plenty of drama too there....Is it common to have drama there?

Seems that dress codes are slowly becoming a thing of the past. Good riddance, as far as I'm concerned! I remember pantyhose being a requirment for ladies at my first job. I could never understand how putting your legs in sausage-like casings makes one work better. Where do you stand on the issue?

How to Believe in God
Six Easy Steps

1. First, you must want to believe in God.

2. Next, understand that believing in God in the absence of evidence is especially noble.

3. Then, realize that the human ability to believe in God in the absence of evidence might itself constitute evidence for the existence of God.

4. Now consider any need for further evidence (both in yourself and in others) to be a form of temptation, spiritually unhealthy, or a corruption of the intellect.

5. Refer to steps 2-4 as acts of “faith.”

6. Return to 2.
