Theocratic governments, shared with Mankind? I see many Muslim answerers here in YA mocking and insulting us and it makes me wonder what have they ever done for mankind. What have they to bragg about? Even their precious oil was discovered by Americans who even built their first oil wells.
This is just one of many antagonistics that loves to throw stones.

can it just be assumed some people do not want to know the Truth? For example Catholics do not believed we are saved by works and even though this has been said many many times the people who have heard this have turned around and continued to say the same thing that Catholics think they have been saved by works. My question then seems to be pretty much a no brainer---Are these people just not interested in the truth?

We need matter in order for things to excite. Matter is substance: that which has mass and occupies space; "an atom is the smallest indivisible unit of matter"

Scientist say that the "BIG BANG" came from nothing... how could everything be create if there was nothing... no substance??? It’s impossible.


I believe there was always something, and i believe God is time. Time has no beginning or an End, Time travels in light, God is light. God always was there and it will always excite. Without light there would be no life. Even in the bible tells us that God is light, scientist tells us that we need light for there to be life. God is the giver of life. Therefore he is time and light.

Here is some simple empirical eveidence:

Authority:
Catholics say it resides in the Church Christ established: The Church decides doctrine, as it did in the book of Acts regarding circumcision. This is why we have unity of faith among 1.3 billion Catholics, and why our teachings are exactly what the apostles and their successors have always taught for 2000 years.

Protestants say the Bible is he final authority. For a protestant, their doctrines come from their own scripture interpretations, which is why they have thousands of disagreeing denominations. Lutherans say you baptise babies, Baptists say you don't. Espicipalians say there is a priesthood, Fundies say there isn't. On and on.

The batlle cries of the protestant revolt in the 16th century were "Sola Fide" (Faith Alone) and "Sola Scriptura" (The Bible Alone). Both are false. Can't anyone see that?

"Sola Scriptura" (The Bible Alone) is obviously wrong for the reasons stated above.

And "Sola Fide" (Faith Alone)?

I was raised a mormon. My Dads whole side of the family is Mormon. There is like 50 of us. Growing up in the Church you are strongly encouraged to Bare your testimony before the Congregation. This is done the first sunday of every month. People volunteer to go infront of the Congregation and say why they know that The Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder saints is the only True church. With the only living Prophet, and that Joseph smith was the First True prophet of the Church. And that he helped restore the church and essentially turn it into what it is today. When i was 14 or so i went infront of the congregation and bore my Testimony. I said i know that This is the only true church, that joseph smith was a prophet put here by god, and that i know the Book of Mormon is a true testiment of Jesus visiting the Americas. Then a couple of weeks later i went to Birmingham to be Ordained into the Melchezidik Priesthood. I was interviewed by one of the Top dogs. and he sat me down and before

Many pagans don't acknowledge the Christian God or Satan (even though they are often accused of worshipping him). There are many people of all religious walks that don't believe in the Loch Ness Monster, fairies, trolls, etc.

The point is, to believe in one being does not mean you must accept *ALL* beings. So why do many people feel that agnostics are ambivalent towards EVERYTHING?

Believing in a God doesn't automatically mean an acceptance of all things supernatural. So why would agnosticism suggest this?

What's the deal with always trying to 'disprove' the existance of God? I myself am not very religious. So trying to make me a believer or non-believer is going to be fruitless, but that's beside th point. Anyway, if you say that Christians are always trying to shove their beleifs down your throat, and thus believe yourself to be better, why do you do the same? When you say God doesn't exist based on 'facts' that you have found, such as 'the existance of poverty, you are using your OWN logic, much as Christians use their logic. You christians do not have enough knowledge or facts that prove the existance of God, which is true. Having said that, we are all only huimans, Can you truly say that you have the knoweldge and intelligence neccesary to disprove the existance of a Superior being? Why are you so against Christians? The response that they are "They cause of all the wars" is untrue, based on the fact that Christianity is an idea, and has no say in political issues.

I don't know that for sure.

I speak out regularly that I think there is a God but I know there is no proof. I call that a mind made up, don't you?

Is God a being or an intelligent energy? I don't know; but I think that there was intelligence that initiated life.

Hi guys i no this sound really weird but when i was about 5 years old my Nan died i didn't really no her that well to be honest only know what she looks like from photographs. For the past year I've been feeling like she looks down on me and is my guardian angel. When i go to bed a night i talk to her i know this may sound weird but i feel that she can hear me. Sometimes i feel like she is in my room at night becuse i feel all cold and sometimes feel someone sitting on my bed. I've never actually seen her it's just like a sense feeling. And I feel like everthing bad that happens to me my nan makes it happen like that and them makes something else happen so it didn't seem all that bad. For example we recently went to see The Macdonald Brothers off x factor and after the Gig I was heartbroken because I didn't get to meet them i emailed their manager and he gave me a backstage pass and sent me a signed poster. I think my Nan knew that was going to happen. Am I going crazy or is this real?

For Christians that judge Mitt Romney inappropriate, or incapable, as a president of the USA because he’s Mormon: What are your reasons for not voting for him?

Over 30% of the USA says they either wouldn’t vote for or have reservations about voting for Mitt Romney because he’s Mormon. It’s well known that a large percentage of those people are conservative Christians, especially in the Bible belt.

If you are not American but you would still not vote for Mitt Romney, if you had the chance, because you judge his religion to make him incapable of being a good world leader, I’m fine with you answering too.

What is it that you believe about Mormons that cause you to judge Romney incapable of leading the nation based on his Mormon beliefs?

Please note: if you wouldn’t vote for Mitt Romney because of his politics, not because of his religion, this question isn’t for you. Obviously if you would vote for Romney, this question isn't for you either.

I work in touch with a lot of american tourists in France (so please apologize my bad english) and 9 times on 10 they don't answer me when I say "bonjour" or "au revoir" (good morning / good bye).
At the beginning I founded it awful, but now I'm used to this, but I still don't understand.
Isn't it politeness?????????
If some of you could answer in French, that would be sooooo great!!!
Thank you for giving me a lesson of civilisation...
