...they think eternal Hell is a "just" punishment for not believing that a man rose from the dead 2,000 years ago? Christians, YOU don't believe the miracle stories from other religions, right? How is YOUR disbelief any different from the disbelief of those who happen not to believe in YOUR religion's stories? You expect US to lay away at night, worrying whether YOUR faith might be correct, but YOU never give a second thought about dismissing other people's religions as false! Are you SO sure of your OWN infailablity that you know YOU have chosen the RIGHT religion? Are you unable to make a mistake? What will you do if, on Judgement Day, somebody ELSE'S God calls you forward to render an account? Has it occured to you that maybe God doesn't want defamatory stories about Him/Her made up, like the ones in the Bible...?

that logic, reasoning, sense perception, memories, and scientific investigation can lead to accurate picture of reality?

Or do you believe this without conclusive evidence?

They are both mortal sins but they have to have different severities,right? I mean it sounds stupid to think that cursing is just as bad as killing someone.

Ever since the day my grandfather died, several months ago, I would have these dreams where I walked to the cemetery where he was buried and his spirit would talk to me. Just last week, he came to me in my dream and told me that he was leaving to go to heaven, and I could not see him anymore.

She is 13 and she admitted to me that she recently put her foot in her mouth by describing herself as a lesbian because she didn't know what a lesbian was. How about a list of vocab words for her? Any ideas for what the list of vocab words should include?

I'm interested in hearing some Christian speculation on souls.

1. Is the soul linked to brain function? If yes, then why should we differentiate between the two? If no, then why can't people remember anything after a coma - shouldn't the soul remember something?
2. Identical twins come from a single fertilized egg that has split into two - does each twin have half a soul? If each has a complete soul, then how can you argue that the soul is present at conception? How about chimeric individuals who started as two fertilized eggs that merge into one and go on to be a completely normal individual (you could be one). Do they have two souls?
3. Animals show complex emotions and social behavior: depression, sadness, love, highly ordered social hierarchies - why do you think they don't have souls but an embryo that is spontaneously aborted after 1 week does have a soul? By the way, 50% of pregnancies end spontaneously making God the greatest abortionist in history

If somebody wrongs you deeply and repeatedly...do you believe after the passing of many years, that person can truly change?

Now, I really only want friendship with him; he is not quite my type.
However, if we are both gay, I think it would be cool to know, and talk to each other about common experiences and stuff.

How do I go about asking him if he is gay in such a way that:
a) I don't offend him
b) he does not try to initiate anything that I don't want

And rather unrelated:
I answered a question: what are you looking for in a man?
I said what I am looking for in a man.
Why did I get a thumbs down? How could my answer be wrong if i honestly answered the question? Weird thumbing going on in this site!

when you really, really like something. like, some people love Winter time, or mountains, or the ocean, or a certain animal or color...and on and on. Do you think God is flattered by our love for some of the things God "created?" Maybe it makes him feel closer to us? Like "you like that bird? I made that!"

is faith really enough to determine your eternity that you may or may not spend with Him? Or do you think it is possible to be 100% sure before you die?

2 Nephi 25: 26 And we talk of Christ, we rejoice in Christ, we preach of Christ, we prophesy of Christ, and we write according to our prophecies, that our children may know to what source they may look for a remission of their sins.
27 Wherefore, we speak concerning the law that our children may know the deadness of the law; and they, by knowing the deadness of the law, may look forward unto that life which is in Christ, and know for what end the law was given. And after the law is fulfilled in Christ, that they need not harden their hearts against him when the law ought to be done away.
