on these gangs of young yobs who attack the Firemen? I have just been watching our local news North Tonight, and in Dundee a town not too far away the fire crews were trying to put out a blaze. All the while this gang of teen yobs were pelting them with stones, sticks, anything they could lay their hands on. WHY?
Whats their reasons for this behaviour, does this happen in other countries, or is it just the not so jolly old UK.

to Prove the GOD of the Bible exsists.

You don't know GOD personally the GOD of Creation , the GOD of the Torah, the GOD of love the GOD of Wrath, the Alpha and the Omega so you cannot cleary say what evidence you need, because you don't know what kind of evidence that would be.

The evidence is the Bible and the Holy Spirit..What many of you are saying is you need some magical evidence, well since some people can perform magic I assume you think they are GODS?

How do you know LOVE is real? is it a feeling? can it be seen? did you understand LOVE when you were held in the loving arms of your mother for the first time? I say this because GOD cannot be explained, yet you know his love and his presence through a relationship, just like you have with your parents who love you.

Why do you fight so hard to have God removed from schools, court houses and everything from flag ceremonies to the top of the washington monument if he's not real and can have no effect on you?

If you wanted to pray to the easter bunny and have him help me , I sure wouldn't stop you. I might laugh, but I wouldn't stop you. Because i know nothing will come of it.

Some teach that Communion of the Lord's Supper (which Orthodox call "the Eucharist") us only a sign or symbol. Most of Chirstendom, however, believes it is far more. The Orthodox Church has always believed that we, in a mystery, receive the Body and Blood of Christ in the Holy Eurcharist. Jesus saud at the Last Supper:"This is My body" and This cup is...My blood" (Luke 22:19,20) The Lord states clearly that His gifts to us are more then just a sign or a mere memorial, and all of ancient Christendom took Him at His word. The skeptic might say, "But Jesus also said, 'I am the door.' Certainly He did not mean He was a seven-foot wooden plank." No, and Christians have never interpreted His statement that way. But the Church does teach that He is our entrence into the Kingdom of God and that the bread and wine becomes, in a mystery, His Body and Blood. In 1 Corinthians 11:29, we read people who became sick and even died through receiving Communion hypocritically.

I'm trying to write a story about a person who gains werewolf-type powers, and the story would be better if I could incorporate some Native American legend into it. I don't really know any yet, though, so if you could give me a link to a good site about that stuff that would be great.

Evolution is more of a explanation of how we became what we are. It's just a way of catergorizing life. It doesn't necessarily have to threaten the existence of God. Perhaps we just finally realized how God created us?

However Christianity and various other religions instantly discarded it and labeled it evil and apostatizing. Perhaps they just jumped to a conclusion too quickly? Which begs to ask the question, how many other conclusions are they too proud to admit may be wrong?

Why don't you prove us wrong, as you say we are? We prove you wrong everyday, how about some "payback"?

I am, Agnostic. Yeah....I dont go to church or anything. I use to but I dont like people shoving their beliefs down my throat. Im not narrow minded like most, and i think because of that, it has opened my mind to a lot of new things. It let me see other points of views, and not just ONE.
My parents dont like the fact because im not "reliogous", but honeslty, i dont belive in hell or hevan, i dont belive that moses talked to a burning bush, and i belive that people look towards god as a sign of hope and faith. ....As a figure in the mind.

Doesn't the bible clearly state that when Jesus returns, all will be judged? Where's the notion that some "second chance" will exist for seven more years?

Can anyone show me any references to teachings of "the rapture" that are dated prior to the 19th century? How is it that the Christian church survived 1800+ years without such a teaching, if in fact, it is to be believed?

Most organized religions are advocates for human rights abuses (inquisition, crusades, witch hunts, etc.) and civil rights abuses (no women voting, racism, censorship, etc.) but that those religions in operating in secular, modern governments don't advocate those abuses (openly). But those same religions either now or in the past when they mingled and shared power with the government (theocracies) that those abuses are advocated openly.

For example look how Islam is practiced in America or Western Europe vs. Iran or Taliban Afghanistan, etc. Or Christianity in Medieval Europe.

Basically... how most popular organized religions advocate terrible things but will "modernize" themselves based on external pressure from the government and/or public opinion not because of any internal desire to better themselves.

Anyone else have this observation? Or feel the observation is misguided?

Pop in front of you and say *Hey I am GOD* I can dis-appear re-appear in a mater of seconds? This is the kind of proof ytou want??? What kind of GOD is that? since you dis-believe the GOD of the Holy Bible and in the heck would you know him if he did appear right in front of you?

Seems like you are looking for some magic power or some picture you have in your head that GOD should look like>

So again what kind of proof are you looking for that GOD exsists the one that clearly identifies him in the Holy Scriptures?

I have a problem where my mail-carrier almost never bothers to pick up my outgoing mail. I have a drop-in mailbox so I can understand if you miss a letter every so often, but this happens 9 times out of 10(particularly w/ those big, red, floppy Netflix envelopes). I don't know how I should deal w/ this.
