Another huge evangelical force; more allegations of crime.

If such criminal actions continue to surface, will evangelicals be forced to question their beliefs, or their leaders?

How does any religious leader, especially an evangelical christian, look in the mirror and decide god wants him to get both a Mercedes and a Lexus for his wife?

The Bible says David wanted to marry the Daughter of Saul.

Saul tells him to bring 100 PENIS foreskins as a token.

David kills 200 Philistines and brings their Penile foreskins to Saul as dowry for his first wife (Saul's daughter Michal).

18:27 Wherefore David arose and went, he and his men, and slew of the Philistines two hundred men; and David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full tale to the king, that he might be the king's son in law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife.

Suppose you had a violation on YA, and your question and 17 answers were removed.........is it possible to FIND that question and the answers somewhere in the 'guts' of YA???

It is interesting to me how well meaning questions are deleted for seemingly no good reason. What think ye?

Jesus also "knew" he would not die, so why do you keep saying that "Jesus died for our sins" or that "God sent his only begotten to wash our sins with his death.."

Did Jesus do as if some quack doctor drank some "poison", then he dies and comes back to life by a sleight of hand?

I heard tales/stories that a cat can kill you in your sleep by taking your breathe. What do you think? Is it true? Have you ever heard of this? Just another "old wives tale".

I know that a lot of people are going to say because it's fun or because we get free candy but why? Didn't you ever wonder why we don't have any safety problems in any other holiday but this one?

It can be a candy bar or bag of little snackies or anything ya like. Light exploding out of the bag or wrapper or whatever is not necessarily a qualification for being "holy".

I'll go with Caramello because it causes a mouthgasm. And, as we all know, mouthgasms are a sin... which amounts to holiness in my book.

I just wonder if any of you, while in public, pick on another religion (or the non-believers) as easily as it is done here?

In the past couple weeks this section of Y!Answers has grown into such a melange of fun; levity; trivia and deep questions too that I am thoroughly HOOKED!

What about you? Have you been inspired to hang around longer?

I go to my doctor and trust her completely even though medical research follows the scientific method.
I trust that when I go on a plane it won't crash even though aeronautical science follows the scientific method.
I trust that almost every single technology I use will work correctly because all the research that allows for it to work follows the scientific method.

Except when it comes to evolution, the big bang and the age of the earth for some unexplainable reason I suddenly stop trusting science right then and there.

It's like when I see flaws in the evidence for evolution like that one fake hominid fossil I completely reject the whole theory. But when medical science does the same thing like when a pharmaceutical company recalls a certain medication for health reasons, I still will trust my doctors and the medicine they administer afterwards and I don't start denying medical science.

I am asking this in order to include a poll in my research paper. Please tell me whether you do believe, do not, or are unsure about the existence of ghosts. Please also include whether you are male or female and whether you have personally had any paranormal experiences. Thank you very much for your input.

I will say - my personal opinion is slavery was horrible. It was a crime against humanity but to understand it better, one must READ and look at what was going on at the time. How many black people do you think even know it was their OWN tribes, their own people who tortured, beat, and kidnapped them to bring them to slave traders? And even BEFORE the Europeans even landed in Africa so don't go blaming the Europeans for drumming up the business. The African slave trade was in full force amongst its own tribes and people well before the Europeans ever got to Africa. So, my question is - why don't black people in America ever get pissed about that? I'm only talking about those black people who constantly think of themselves as victims to white oppression because of slavery. They were oppressed originally because of their own people! It was wrong for Europeans to look at people as property but that's how it was back then. You can't continue to blame all white people for this.

I've noticed that a lot. Athiests and Pagans especially, even if they haven't said one remotely abusive thing and answered a question honestly and completely, always seem to have a lot of thumbs-down.
Which brings me to another question - do you judge whether or not someone is a good person by what they believe in? Would you deny yourself a wonderful friendship just because someone doesn't practice exactly what you do?
I'm Pagan. It's my goal in life to constantly better myself and the world around me. I have never hurt anyone, and I certainly have never been negative toward anyone based on their faith. What you practice is fine with me, and I'm glad it works for you.

It seems kind of hypocritical to me. It was my understanding that most religions try to teach tolerance and acceptance. And in the religious community, it's really rare to actually see people like that.
