There is a lot of Non-Biblical proof for the existence of Jesus..(The very date u write is based on his birth).Similarly there is proof for the existence of Alexander,Buddha,Etc.. Any such mention of Rama in any other source other than Ramayana and the other Hindu scriptures?

I hate bare feet, or just walking around in bare feet or just socks. At my dad's house, he made up the rule we have to take off our shoes before entering the house. I hate doing this, it feels so awkward and uncomfortable. My feet get really cold, and my toes curl up, and it hurts. How can I convince my dad to get rid of this rule. The only reason he has it is to keep the house cleaner, but he walks around outside with bare feet, so wouldn't that get the house dirty anyway?

It is mostly young people committing these crimes. It is sad to see 19 and 20 year old's die because someone has no self control but owns a gun. A 14 year old killed a 60 year old man for money. Don't these kids see the consequences of what they are doing?

At the last supper Jesus sat down with his Apostles and said, "This is My body, " not This only represents my body. Or This only symbolizes my body, but he said "THIS IS MY BODY." Why do you refuse to believe what Jesus said?

Some guy tried to argue that since Joseph Stalin was an atheist that all atheists must be just like him. So I pointed out to him that Hitler was a Roman Catholic. He said "well Hitler wasn't a real Christian." Just because someone doesn't follow the teachings of the Bible does not make that person an atheist by default. If you believe in God, but do not follow his teachings, you may not be a real Christian, but if you believe in God you are not a real atheist either. I don't blame all christians for what Hitler did. Hitler was one person. I am not going to blame a whole group of people for the actions of one person. Why do Christians have to blame all us atheists for the actions of one person.

ive read it over so many times but dont get it so wat do you think: John 4:18

There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

Should God have taught Adam and Eve about good and evil before placing the tree of knowledge and the serpent in the Garden with them? Surely God knew the nature of the serpent.

I can tell a 18 month old not to play with matches and feel comfortable leaving them lying about, if the child then proceeds to burn the house down thus killing several family members. I guarantee you the law would be holding me accountable, not the child.

As we mature, we gain perspective on why certain actions should be avoided, we are aware of the ramifications.

Adam and Eve had no such points of reference, just like children they were easily influenced, how then are they responsible for the fall of all mankind? Do you think that A and E had any inkling as to gravity of their actions?

As parents we instruct our children, provide guidance and act as rolemodels for them. We don't just impose rules and leave them to fend for themselves.

On October 7-13, 2007, straight people across the nation will "come out" as supporters of equal rights for gay and lesbian Americans.

From Santa Rosa, California, to Montgomery, Alabama, to Augusta, Maine, overnight vigils will light up American cities, providing unprecedented visibility to heterosexual men and women with the conviction to stand up for their gay and lesbian friends and neighbors.

This grassroots groundswell, dubbed Seven Straight Nights for Equal Rights, was initiated by Soulforce and Atticus Circle, two Texas-based organizations with members across the nation. With their support, straight community leaders are organizing vigils in towns like Greenville, South Carolina, Shreveport, Louisiana, Duluth, Minnesota, and Salem, Oregon.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is God both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
--Epicurus.

This is an open, hopefully non-bashing question. Many times here, a Christian will say that a REAL Christian believes that real Christians didn't participate in the Witch burnings. Also, many times here, a Witch will say that a REAL Witch don't even exist.

Can you offer something that is a myth about what you are:

Real Witches don't...

OR

Real Christians don't...

If you would also like to say what REAL Witches/REAL Christian Do do, please feel free!

I'll start. I am a Witch, and real Witches don't believe in harming anyone. Real Witches do believe that there are many true spiritual paths. And real Witches really do exist!

Is Why Christmas? a question.

Yes, it means what is the meaning of Christmas.

When I asked why did they delete my question,

The answers I got was because it is not a question.

Why all the ignorance?

The Greatest Love Song
Do You Know Jesus
By Mike McCracken

(chorus)
Do you know Jesus?
And how He loves us
How He died just to save us
Just because, He loves us

Judas betrayed Him
Who once was His friend
They beat, flogged and scourged Him
To where He didn’t look human

A crown of thorns on His head
Just another place where He bled
Humiliated in every way
Why, they even tore His clothes away

And there wasn’t any time loss
To where, they made Him carry the cross
To drive nails through His hands
He’s more than just a man

And Jesus still loved them
After all they did to Him
He did this for us too
When He said, “Father forgive them,
for they know not what they do.”

Jesus said that there is no greater love that a man can give than that he lay down his life for another.

Another poster's question inspired this one. Where is it? What's on it? What's your religion?

.............................

(My religion is a blend of Christianity, Spiritualism, and Mysticism with strong roots in Catholicism. So I have a picture of the Sacred heart surrounded by candles with different saints on them, rose incense, sandlwood, and a light crystal and a dark crystal side by side.)

And while we are on the subject... Who answers the most questions on Y!A R&S. The Atheists, the Christians, or their respective Trolls?

Would be nice to get a feel from the R&S community on their own view of the demographics of Y!A R&S...
