My preacher at church started talking in tongues. I am not sure if I believe that really can happen. What do you think and what exactly does that mean?

This might sound really random, but I used to have a christian children's cassette tape that I would really like to try and buy again---the only problem is that i don't remember the name of the cassette or company.

The cassette tape is blue and the tape consists of what appears to be a musical. It has kids to were not friends at school, that are tasked to go to a park and help clean it up. During their day there, they all become friends and clean the park up.

Some songs were the beatitudes (Blessed are), Jesus loves the little children, and a song about Chadrak, Michak, and Abendigo (SP?). Please help!! Thanks!

I was told by a college professor that when you answer those personality tests before getting hired somewhere and they ask you if you ever stole anything from an employer, if you say no then they automatically disregard your application. What if you are someone who has never taken anything, even a pen, pencil, tablet? Isn't it a shame that we have gotten to be the kind of society where we have to lie to be accepted?

Are there any peer reviewed studies that show a positive impact of faith on health?

I see bibles all over the place, but never a Quran. You would think the most widely read book in the entire Middle East would have at least a small circulation here but I never see them.

I mean, nuclear physics, or astronomy, geology, chemistry…if one studies and becomes proficient in all these branches of science, then one will discover that they too contradict the bibles explanation for the origins of reality. The thing is, these subjects are a little more advanced and therefore, beyond the reach of most Christians who prefer studying a moldy old book of nonsense stories than the latest advances in understanding our universe. But evolution; living organisms change over time – the more time has passed, the more changes have occurred. Simple, hey? And yet understanding it and accepting it as the truth immediately proves the very first sentence of the bible false.

if someone disagrees with your sexuality do you call them a bigot. i disagree with child poverty, war, racism. i don't agree with lots of things but i don't resort to derogaroty comments, so why when a heterosexual person poses a question, you may not agree with, they are a bigot. are you not then discrimintive towards 'straight' people. you want acceptance, and people to understand, so why not respect others comments or questions. this is the first and last time i venture into this catergory. what an awful bunch of people!

It stands to reason that if God existed, then that fact wouldt be incontrovertible...and readily apparent, especially to the learned..

Has anyone ever donated to these organizations? Do you really get letters from the kids in Africa and such. Are they real? What all happens when you donate monthly to them? Is it legit? Please tell me your experiences or your opinion from knowledge about these groups. Thanks!

Do you accept people who are Buddhists?
Do you accept people who are Islamic?
Do you accept people who are Christians?
Do you accept people who are Atheists?
Do you accept people who are Agnostic?
Do you accept people who are Pagans?

Do you think someone's beliefs indicate how moral a person is? Should it, or should it not play a role in determining a person? Should sterotypes and generalizations be frowned upon?

If you didn't know it--holiday is just another word for "holy day"---you can look up the root words and find this to be true. Hallow means to make holy.

If you are a Christian--why do you think it is OKAY to celebrate such a disgusting practice of dressing up in evil costumes and engaging in a pagan druid festival?

I do not want to hear all the excuses of ..."well, we dress up as angels" and "it's all in fun." Do you think it is "fun" to celebrate evil? I just want to know what is wrong with all the Christians who celebrate 'hollow'een--are just seared in your conscience or just a hypocrite? Do you honestly believe you are pleasing God by celebrating satan's holy day and telling your children it is just all fun?

Numbers 32:23, "But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have sinned against the LORD: and be sure your sin will find you out."

Do you really believe Jesus is blessing your practice of halloween?

This year has been one major foul up after another. I have tried to hold my head up and look on the bright side, but I honestly don't think I can anymore. I just want to throw my hands up and say, "I give up. You win. I can't do this anymore, I give up." Is this some kind of test from God? Is He trying to tell me something? Can someone enlighten me?

People can't afford to be Catholic!
This is the problem. Our church was run by the same priest for years. Eveyone Loved him, he was kind and was very concerned about the childrens Catholic education, especially since this chrch is in an urban low income setting with many immigrant famlies.
When he left a new priest came, but now he is charging money for everything.
To say Mass on Quinceneras he is charging 300 dollars, and 100 dollor per each alter boy. we used to just give what we could in donation or not pay at all.

Next he is charching 200 dollars for conformation class. I got it for free and whatever donations I could afford with the old priest. Now the children cannot afford to be confirmed,

and the class scheduale is ridiculous. Instead of just sundays he is expecting people to come on week days. People here are low income and even the teenagers work to contribute to the house hold.

I'm an teenage atheist, born a Christain. I don't believe in God for the same reason I don't believe in Zeus, it doesn't make any sense. I doubt you can change my mind, but I think its best to give it a shot.
