are not all churches today filled to capacity? I guess going to church, or temple or whatever just is too much to bother with.

Why must the different groups condemn each other because their beliefs are different?
Why can't we all just accept that everyone was brought up differently, and so we all have different values and beliefs, and that nobody's beliefs are wrong because everyone is entitled to their own beliefs? Just like opinions.
People should be more open-minded.

Sometimes we pontificate and 'relax' thinking that certainly we do good things for others and we'll gladly tell others how to get to God and Heaven , but how often do we also remind others that we are sinners too ?

Those without faith see those posts and get the impression that we think we are without sin . Some of those very same people see us as hypocrites and give-up on their search for God . And others see the self-righteousness as unattainable for themselves and give-up . That's not good .

Go ahead and answer as you wish , but I'd like to ask every God-fearing and loving Christian to add the fact that they themselves are sinners too when they answer questions on this site .

A little humility could go a long way .

What prompted this question ? -- My own self reminder that I am a sinner and fall short of grace . . . .but for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ !

I'm going on a trip to visit my Great Aunt and my two cousins (both in their 30's) who I rarely see but love. I'll be staying with them for 2 days and I don't know what to bring for gifts! I was gonna pick up chocolates and wine for each person, but that doesn't seem enough, some how. Any other suggestions?

Just curious and thought it might be interesting to see, if the Presidential election were today, what the trends would be by belief system.
So... if you are an atheist, who would you vote for?
If you are a Christian, or have other religious beliefs you follow,
who would you vote for?
Indicate as above, and if you wish, add any thoughts or explanation.

The question was posted recently and I couldn't find it later to respond. For anyone who responded that there's a difference, that "black" magic is Satanic, while white magic is not, what you would say to the following?

Direct quote from Anton Lavey (founder of the church of Satan) in "The Satanic Bible":

"There is no difference between "white" and "black" magic, except in the smug hypocrisy, guilt-ridden righteousness and self-deceit of the "white" magician himself."

Lavey reiterates this many times, having researched the roots of all these things. He's also made statements regarding neither being from God, so these powers can only come from one other source. Christians agree.

Also, in tracing the roots of these and all related religions/magic/religious philosophies (including New Age) to their genesis, we find they all sprung from ancient mystery religions, esp. Egyptian & Babylonian.

According to Apostle Paul in 2 Cor. 11: 3, 4, all such are deception from Satan.

Friends, in what other life are you going to go all out? We all have one shot and one shot only to leave a lasting legacy—a definitive mark on this world that reflects our decision to lean into, not away from, our areas of holy discontent. A legacy that says, "I have been trusted to carry God's message of hope to an aching, fractured world in need, and I refuse to rest until my role in that is fulfilled."

Catholic teaching says we all have Guardian Angels. But what I wans to know is what happens to an Angel after their charge dies? Does the Angel just go back to Heaven and retire, or is the Angel reassigned to some newly-concieved baby to protect through his/her life?

I used to be a Christian (a fading one at that...like Ghandi said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."...anyways, then I took a Philosophy class and discovered that there is no scientific proof that God actually exists...and was unsure what the truth was so I became Agnostic because I just don't know anymore...but here is what I have noticed...since leaving my faith behind...my life really sux, like EVERYTHING has gone wrong...is it just a coincidence or what?
What do I do? I'm totally lost...
