From what I saw on the bookshelves today, it seems America HAS become a Christian nation, it's just working out the kinks. OR, at least, lots of people seem to make the claim. Every other brand new book on the shelf was something Christian, telling us all that the Christian God is the only true God and that only the author's interpretations of that can be correct. Packaged in with the bestselling "The Secret"? "The Secret To God's Word", or somesuch. Publisher's agenda, I imagine.
It's a frightening prospect. We are one of the only developed countries who base our laws on the Bible to this day. One of the few who still have laws against homosexuals in place. Our money says "In God We Trust" and the pledge of allegiance to the country our forefathers wrote was CHANGED to read "one nation, under GOD". It seems more & more that America HAS become a theocracy - we're just waiting on the majority to outvote us. Do you think it will happen? When? Why? And where will you move to if it does?

Ok, you will all know my age now. I remember when me and my best friend used to turn on
her record player and play
"celery stalks at midnight"
and the "boogie woogie blues"
and we learned to do the
"dirty boogie". You don't want
to see how that goes....
or maybe you do. I lost touch
with her and don't know if she's dead or alive.
And my question is: Anyone
remember these or other
boogie songs from that time
period?

that if there were actual *proof* that there was a higher diety or God, would you be a christian, buddist, muslim,etc.? To put it in simpler terms, I am asking that if I you saw God and actually had a deeper proof that it was God, would you believe?

about something that we can not fully prove to others is the real thing. Please someone explain to me why their religion is the right one, or none if your answer is so. I have been told so much about christians, seeing as I am one. But I never quite understood why we can't all agree on something. Yes I understand that everyone has free will to believe as they see fit, but which is the right belief? If we all feel so strongly about our own insights into this religion business, who is to say that one is wrong that yours is right. In all the religions that believe in one true god, why do they all believe it is someone different? Could it be that it is really the same god, but with a different name? To the athiests who are out there, I have seen so much "proof" that God is real, including personal experiences. What can you offer the proves their is no God, besides it is beyond scientific minds?

I don't care what your gender is, the Bible still says "by one MAN sin entered into the world, and death by sin." so forever man will be blamed for death and hell.

if the Bible-fundamentalists are claiming that they are following Christ, then they should know that they should honor Mary too just like Christ did (and still do actually), right?
why do Bible-fundamentalists seem to hate her? are they really a follower of Christ?

"God" made us=flawed mammals
its ironic, we, human beings or early hominids have lived through the near impossible, hunted down woollly mammoths, came into the more civilized society, had a crazy idea to have the world's strongest army or take over the world countless times
my christian friend said "God" made us, the earth, and everything. He and every other christian ive met deny the simple truth right in front of them: God is not real. They deny the scientific fact that the world was created by some man-woman or whatever the heck gender this "God " is
and by God, there are a few Gods, so when i hear the word God , i must wonder, the God of Gods? are the chrisitans saying that their so called great "God" who made everything is more superior to the other 'Gods' we know?

The reason I ask this question is because members of my family say that it is very wrong for a women to preach God's word or be a leader in the church. The reason they say that it wrong is because this puts a woman in authority over men in the church ,which they are is very wrong. They also say that it says this is the Bible.
Here are my questions.
*If you believe this is a sin please explain why. I want to learn more about your point of view.
*If you believe this is not a sin please explain why. I want to learn more about your point of view.
*What position in the church do you believe a woman can have? Deacon, teacher (like bible school teacher), Minister, song leader, ect ?
I want to hear both sides of the story.
(I hope this does not offend any one, because I am truly curious about this)

The following excerpt is from the question I posted on Joseph not getting credit for being Jesus' father.

katydid answered:
"... the Bible also tells the account of Joseph. When he found Mary to be pregnant he could have had her stoned to death by Jewish law. He loved her and decided to quietly end their engagement. An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and told him the child was the son of God....and that he should not be afraid to take Mary as his wife. Just to be real clear...we are given the added detail that Joseph did not have sexual relations with Mary until after she gave birth."
If what katydid writes is true, and I have heard this from other sources, Joseph took Mary as his wife when she was already pregnant, hence, he DID NOT knock her up. What if somebody else did, and it was NOT God? Shroud of Turin DNA could answer this question also.

O Lord, you have searched me and know me.
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
.....you discern my thoughts from far away.
You search out my path and my lying down,
......and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
......O Lord, you know it completely.
Where can I go from your spirit?
......Or where can I flee from your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, you are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there.
If I take the wings of the morning
.....and settle at the farthest limits of the sea,
.....even there your hand shall lead me,
.....and your right hand shall hold me fast.
................Psalm 139: 1-4, 7-10
I am praying tonight for all who is hurting, lonely, sick, and whatever else is needed...... I am praying for healing ~!~
God is near, what is your need!!!

I always wonder how life will be in older age, so these questions are to retirees and senior citizens.
Do you still have fun and get excited over things? What do you do in leisure time? Do you feel depressed for being your age? Are you afraid you won't live much longer? Do you feel like years pass way too fast? Do you have any regrets for life path and choices?
Answer the questions you choose. Thanks!
