I am interest in learning more about traditional teachings of the occult and witchcraft, but problem is the secrecy that surrounds it.

Where could I start looking my local area to find such teaching?

I'm on a limited income - as are most of my fellow residents - but they spend their monthly check really fast and always come to me for 'loans'... They hardly ever pay back the full amount that I give them, putting it on their 'tab' for the following month. I'm really getting tired of it... can someone suggest how I toughen up and say No?

Evolution is a science, not a religion. What draws the evolutionists to the religion section? If you deny the existence of God, why spend time in the religion section? Are you trying to decide if you believe in God or are you just trying to be combative? Serious answers only please.

On the one hand the Jesus said, "I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven," but then when it isn't, Christians cite the escape clause: "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."

How do you reconcile these ideas?

I just need a little help because I am and always have been a good christian. And that's not the problem, its the science side of all this. I mean science has been wrong before hence why its theorys, but right now it seems so true. One example is like how we evolved from chimpansess. Why do we have tail bones, and molar teeth? I don't know. And I kind of believe in life outside earth- like aliens... And if I think this is is it wrong considering that it contradicts God? I'm confused, and I'm not sure if anyone can help me, but do you guys ever get lost with this sort of stuff too?

I keep seeing advertisements promoting a particular religion which boast it is the fastest growing religion in the world.

I think I've discovered an undeniable pattern to explain this, but maybe I have my facts wrong, and need to read more before I talk

;)

Any data accompanies with references would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I dont really believe in anything although I admit there probably is the possibility of god, ghosts, aliens, etc. But I just wanted to know if any atheists believe in aliens, and of those that do if why they dont believe in god but do in aliens.

Kind of the same reason why I asked if christians believed in aliens and if they didnt why.

Ok Christians, you say that you have tremendous faith and nothing will ever wither your trust in God.

What if I dare you to jump into a bunk of infested hungry tiger sharks.

You can pray to God and ask Him to protect you before you jump in.

Would you Christians whole heartedly trust in God and have faith that He would indeed protect you?

Try imagining yourself in the middle of those sharks; would you feel scared and unsecured eventhough you know God is protecting you?

Note that this is just a hypothetical situation so that you Christians would come to sense of what you actually feel.

So? Do you have enough faith? Would you really feel 100 percent secured without fear?

If you feel scared then you probably don't have as much faith as you claim.

If you say you don't feel scared you are lying and contradicting the TC's.

Think before answering.

You bunch of Hypocrits!

Will you whole heartedly have faith in God and trust God that He will indeed

* I just want to say I’m not talking about all Muslim parents, just some. * What role are Muslim parents suppose to play in their kid’s life? If Muslim parents don't teach their kids the correct Islam, and encourage them when they’re young to live according to Islam all the way, what fault do the kids have when they make a mistake in the future years? It's hard on teens (especially in the U.S and other non-Islamic countries) to live the correct Islamic way these days because the parent’s don’t teach or encourage the kids the correct way at a young age. I think some U.S Muslim teens see the American lifestyle and follow that instead of the parents making sure that they know everything (how and why) pleasurable and punishable in Islam from a young age. Also I think that parents should almost push (in a nice way) the religion on the kids at a young age, so that when they’re going through that confused state (hormonal, emotional etc.) they won’t be mislead. That way when they mature they will appreciate the religion and be with grave sin (like not praying, zina, drinking, and drugs etc.). Parents want to give their kids leeway, which is fine to a certain extent. Don’t you see Muslim kids acting like non-Muslims? The parents almost allow their kids to adapt to non-Islamic life styles. What does the Quran say about parents like this, and parent(s) who leave their kids? Not all Muslim teens that are around non-Muslims find themselves before sin. Do you think it’s the kid’s fault when they turn out bad? What do you think? (I know that some kids even with encouragement or force still turn out bad).

I.D. asserts that the complexity in the natural world indicates design, but proponents usually stop short of actually naming it "the work of God." Instead, they say the traditional god of any particular religion is only a "candidate" for the position of designer.

What are the other possible candidates? Are they being cryptic?

My candidate is the advanced alien life forms that designed the planet. Any others?

You ask for proof, but isn't proof just a human concept? You say you tried to believe but how many of you actually searched for the truth with all of your hearts? You say science is the truth but don't see the danger of looking to other men for everything you know, look to a scientist for answers and you will not think for yourself, you will have made them your God? You choose to deny my testimony, Why? Because I am not a scientist?

Needless to say it didnt go over very well with my dad. My mom was pretty cool (she generally is) but dad yelled and made all kinds of threats and whatnot. Im afraind of him doing the same (if not worse) to me. I dont want to keep this hidden from my family but am afriad. help?

You would think that people would eventually reject an ideology that creates such oppression,violence and hatred. Perhaps they are indoctrinated so extremely that it's difficult but eventually you would think that their desire to live free would cause people to reject Islam.
