Other than sacrificing his only Son for them? He already did that, Jesus healed the sick, and raised the dead. What more could God, and Jesus do to bring faith and belief in Him?

We are born surrounded by people in families, or even as orphans there are people around us.
With our life and bodies we do everything smoke,drink,grow fat,flunk school or succeed despite what we do everyone say: "it's your life". But a friend came to me and said that "your life is not yours to take (he did not understand people who were suicidal for personal,political reasons or Faith).Your life belongs to these 35 people that have known you for better or worst your whole life, friends and foes your existence is interdependent with theirs. Hence commiting suicide is a selfish and immoral act which is not your call in the first place".

Do you think he is right that at a certain extent our lives are not really ours?

Do you really really manage to fast the whole entire Ramadan, or do you sometimes cheat? And if you really fast - how does it affect your physical and mental health?

I don't like noisy crowded places, pubs or clubs, and don't smoke.

My interests seem to be either solo and home based, or don't involve crowds, eg the countryside.

I lack confidence, and rediculously shy, except with animals and birds, and been stuck in a rut over the last few years.

Any helpful suggestions please?

if christians say that jesus is god begotten son then they should also agree that every women who give birth twin babies one is begotten son or daughter of god because in their first symtomb of pregnancy they dont know they will have twin babies?

I mean this with total respect to each and every religion and their followers...
I have been trying to understand why Religion is such a strong thing... Who cares and why.
Why does a book writen thousands of years ago, which has been translated however many times, had bits removed by diffrent british kings and added and all-sorts have the power to controle droans of people world wide in a churches every sunday... ( and where in that book do it say, sit on rock hard wooden seats).
why should the Muslim scriptures, again with there age and posibal outside inteferience and (with depest respect) so easy to cross interpret have the power to make someone actualy blow them selves up.

I appologise to christians and muslims, you are the most well known to me at the moment please do not take this as me picking on you.
at the heart of all religion is there not pece (with the exception of saidism) yet no religion is willing to stop and say, "pece" also does anyone have the real answers?

Is it OK to say that 'atheists' are proof that the end of the world is here?

Is it OK to say that 'blacks' are proof that the end of a neighbourhood is imminent?

Is there any difference between religious hate speech and racial hate speech?

He is staying in my house. My dad rented him a room. Ok He is SUPER EXTRA ANNOYING!!!!!! I hate him. He is just so nosy. He snoops into my drawers and borrows things from my pencil case without my permission. And when I am watching TV he talks seriously loudly on the phone on purpose!!!! And then when I go to the kitchen for a snack he just takes the remote from the table and turns to his stupid, lame, boring channel!!! I mean can't I watch my favourite programme in peace. Sometimes I am really kind to him and let him watch his seriously lame tv show for like 5 hours. Then when I ask the remote back (cuz my tv show is on) he just makes up ridiculous excuses just so that he could watch is lame channel all night. And all I can do is sit down and watch it with him. And that is not all. When I put food on the table so that I can eat it tomorrow he takes it and gobbles it down. I mean like hello need to EAT!!!! please help me I seriously don't know what to do cuz this man bugs me alot!!!!!

Did he have help to kill the matador? maybe 4-5 bulls ganged up on the human and then they stabbed him with slow acting poison-whilst one of the bulls minced around with a cape and a funny hat.

Now there are 100s or thousands that die everyday. what percent of them do you think make it to heavan? im thinking less than 5 percent. so are you telling me that it matters how i live my life? (which compared to erturnity is like a blink of an eye) why would i worship a god that gives people a small chance to succeed and stands by while more than half his creation burn in aggony? and you will say god gave us all a choice. so tell me where was our choice when god decided that he was lonly and would make a whole new species (human) and even new before hand that more than half of them would be tortured for eternity? its my opion that all relgion is rediclious. my grandfather just passed away and my grandmother doesnt know if he was saved or not.

I want to get the right equal word for “fulfillment” in Latin language. “Fulfill” in a sense that you desire to reach something or do something, maybe an ideal one.

Thank you,

...and how did you deal with it? This weekend we drove out into the country, and parked our car on the grass verge, and a high-falutin` little Hitler - literally on his high-horse, came out and told us if we didn`t move our car off`HIS grass` he would fetch his tractor and move it for us!
Of course, I wanted to pull him off his horse, but he turned and galloped away.

When someone says they'll get a task completed, and that was 10 months ago, but when I call them on it, they come back with "Patience is a virtue". Only fellow Christians please answer. I think the above saying is to steer away from impulsiveness. I think waiting around 10 months is being patient enough and starting to lean towards being naive. What if someone does not get the task done? How long do we let that continue? Or, was I right in saying that as far as I'm concerned, the person will not complete the task and will only see otherwise if they actually complete it one day? Why should I continue to expect that they will complete the task if over the past 10 months they haven't? The task is getting a quilt to someone. The quilt has been complete and in their posession now for 10 months.

In our town we have a special needs school that was a bit run down. A group of local mormons have spent the last 2 weeks building playgrounds and planting trees. As a devout athiest I would like to say thanks to the mormons for this kind gesture.

what I mean is

for catholicism and Christianity it is usually wine so, "alcohol"

and for the Rastafarian it is the cannabis sativa plant
praise Jah "marijuana"

do you know of any other mind altering substances instituted in any of the other religions?

what about Buddhism?

For example, Homeland Security (Y!A Member) wrote in response to one of my questions:

"Do atheists? And do they also like burning forever? That's not a threat. That's a promise of God.

Rev 21:8 But the fearful, **and unbelieving**, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death

Read it and weep sweetie"

It doesn't really sound like he regrets the loss of my soul to the lake of fire, does it? It almost sounds like, "Ha, well YOU'RE going to Hell and I'M not. Hope you like your fire, sweetie!" Reading it, I can actually imagine HIM poking me with a pitch fork while I roast in magma, and dancing around laughing with little devil horns.

Definitely not how you'd imagine a good Christian would WANT to be seen, right? So what's the deal, Christians? Do you love us or are you happy that we're going to burn?

Hypothetical situation:
Someone's dying and despite many people praying for their health they kick the bucket. The reason that person dies depsite all the prayers is because it's in gods plan.
Question: If god has a devine plan, which will not be changed despite prayer, what's the point of praying for things?

I believe the rapture will come soon and Jesus will return. Just look at all the countries that have nuclear weapons.
