It is nothing more than a celebration of evil.

My pastor said so.

How can anyone really be 100% sure that there is or isn’t a God, or an afterlife, or any of that?
Such huge arguments going on, none of them really rational or logical, over something that can’t possibly be proven. I know that scientifically, the complete lack of any evidence does point more towards there not being anything beyond this life, but still there is nothing that could possibly make either side guaranteed 100% correct. Why can’t either side just accept that other people believe something different? Why can’t they just let each other be on the subject?

One of the major problems I have had with Christianity is its view of women. God is portrayed as male, Jesus is a man and he had twelve male apostles. A woman (Eve) is blamed for the fall. And here are some scriptures for you:

1 Corinthians 11:3
3 Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.

1 Corinthians 11:7 – 9
“7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. “

1 Corinthians 14:34 – 35
34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 35 If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

I know that lots of people say, "because theres no evidence," but what about creation? i think Gods way is a lot more convincing than "the big bang theory." and then theres that excuse, "because i want to live life my own way." Well, if theres an surgery needed to be done on a best friend, your not going to say to the surgeon, "i want to do the surgery, its my best friend!" And what other explanation can they give us about death? I mean, id rather not take a chance. other than that, why don't people believe in God?

USA should be #1!!!! So I don't like this! How should we go about depriving people people of evolution teachings? How can we ensure that Intelligent Design is taught solely in every American science class?

I've noticed recently, upon updating my wardrobe to not look 15 anymore (I'm 21), that I've been getting "looks". Not from women, per say... But from older men. I'm fine with that, I just want to know why. They seem to hit on me quite a lot.

I don't concider myself a supermodel, or anything. And this question is not asked in vain, but why are SO many older men hitting on me. They can't ALL be gay, right?

Sometimes it's smiles, long stares, looks up and down. It's strange. Very not used to that.

By "we" I mean Christians and atheists alike.

Say what you will, Christians, about your religion - say, for example, that it's the only way to salvation, and that salvation is important because we're all damned by default per Christian theology. I can't argue with that, so you win: Christianity is the only way to Christian salvation.

But don't pretend it's reasonable! In fact, the whole point of it is that it's NOT reasonable. If you could explain a miracle, it wouldn't be a miracle, would it? As the early Church patriarch Tertullian famously said of the Resurrection, "I believe it because it is absurd." He was stressing the primacy of faith over reason.

And "faith" is "the evidence of things unseen," as Paul said, or "belief in what ain't true," as Mark Twain said - essentially the same statement. Christians aren't even supposed to WANT proof beyond this. Remember "Doubting Thomas"? "Blessed are they who have not seen and who have believed."

WHAT DOES THAT REALLY MEANS WHEN WE SAY THAT ZAKAT HAS TO BE GIVEN TO MUSLIMS WHO REALLY NEED IT?
WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE MUST RECIEVE ZAKAT?
CAN WE GIVE ZAKAT TO A PERSON AND NOT TELL HIM THAT WHAT EVER WE ARE GIVING HIM IS ZAKAT?
IN OUR DAYS THEY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE RECIEVING ZAKAT AND ASKING FOR IT, IT CONFUSES ME.
HOW TO CALCULATE ZAKAT?
WHAT ABOUT GOLD OR SILVER THAT WE HAVE FOR YEARS,DO WE HAVE TO GIVE ZAKAT ON THAT EVERY YEAR?
OR WE GIVE ONCE AND IF WE GET MORE WE TAKE OUT ZAKAT FOR THAT ONLY?
WHAT ABOUT PRODUCTS THAT WE BUY TO SELL?

I have tried everything to get him out from under my bed, but he says he is hiding from la Chupacabrita, I guess that is his girlfriend, and that everytime he sees her, all he gets is baby mama drama. Now, I know that alot of Texas folks have this problem from time to time, but I am here in Arizona, and my friends are starting to ask questions about the smell. What are your ideas on this?

Let's say the Pastor at the church I attend has a first name of Bill.

I have always called him "Pastor Bill", but he almost always responds in writing as just "Bill". I am expressing my respect for his title, while I get the impression that he is humbly expressing his equality with the congregation.

The congregation is rather casual, and many call him "Pastor Bill" while many others call him "Bill." I suspect that if I asked him directly, he would say that I can use any name I feel comfortable with using. The fact is that I'm not comfortable with either. "Bill" sounds very casual and lacking respect while "Pastor Bill" sounds very formal and lacking familiarity.

Granted, this question isn't of any dire importance but I'm curious for your perspectives.
