1. Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me either. Just pretty much leave me alone.
2. The journey of a thousand miles begins with a broken fan belt and leaky tire.
3. It's always darkest before dawn. So if you're going to steal your neighbor's newspaper, that's the time to do it.
4. Don't be irreplaceable. If you can't be replaced, you can't be promoted.
5. Always remember that you're unique. Just like everyone else.
6. Never test the depth of the water with both feet.
7. If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of car payments.
8. Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.
9. If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.
10. Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish,and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

If there are any Jehovas out there I have a question and I'm really not trying to be insulting. Why do you go door to door? Is that part of what you are obligated to do. I think its great to spread the word and the women who came to my door were very polite and charismatic, but I never have any other religous affiliation come to my house. And also who do you believe Jesus is? I am new to the religion scence but have found a really great non denominational church; so how do you politely tell someone that your not intrested in their church?

A comparison of peoples' views in 34 countries finds that the United States ranks near the bottom when it comes to public acceptance of evolution.

Only Turkey ranked lower.

Among the factors contributing to America's low score are poor understanding of biology, especially genetics, the politicization of science and the literal interpretation of the Bible by a small but vocal group of American Christians, the researchers say.

"American Protestantism is more fundamentalist than anybody except perhaps the Islamic fundamentalists, which is why Turkey and we are so close," said study co-author Jon Miller of

As God is almighty isn't it illogical for him to appear amongst people in human form as some Christians say? Isn't a messenger enough? He can make his messenger act as however he likes?

This is like a Great Great King going inside a community of coal workers to check how they are doing? Why would he need to do it? If he can see everything and send messengers and hear them talking?

I just can't understand this. It really doesn't make sense for me to accept a human as God...

I think it is possible because I saw a show on the history channel about levitation. The host said that back then a long time ago, there were reports that says people have seen Saints fly in med-air. He said that only a person with great holy morel values ( like Jesus) would fly in mid-air by using the divine powers.The historians however belief that the saints were just good athletic people but it could be possible. So, what is your opinion on this?

Note to Atheist: This is not a drinking question and/or game. You are free to answer this question but do not be rude or I will report you

All they would have on them are just a few simple facts, like, prison statistics showing how many Christians are incarcerated compared to how few secular people, the high proportion of educated people who reject the biblical explanation for the origin and development of life on this planet and of course some figures on how much money various religions turn over tax free.

Why do most christians don't believe that the pentagram(not the inverted one) is a christian symbol?It represents the five wounds of Christ.The pentagram was used as a Christian symbol for the five senses,[10] and if the letters S, A, L, V, and S are inscribed in the points, it can be taken as a symbol of health (from Latin salus).[citation needed]

Medieval Christians believed it to symbolise the five wounds of Christ. The pentagram was believed to protect against witches and demons.[11]

The pentagram figured in a heavily symbolic Arthurian romance[11]: it appears on the shield of Sir Gawain in the 14th century poem Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. As the poet explains, the five points of the star each have five meanings: they represent the five senses, the five fingers, the five wounds of Christ,[12] the five joys that Mary had of Jesus (the Annunciation, the Nativity, the Resurrection, the Ascension, and the Assumption), and the five virtues of knighthood which Gawain hopes to embody: noble generosity, fellowship, purity, courtesy, and compassion.

Probably due to misinterpretation of symbols used by ceremonial magicians, it later became associated with Satanism and subsequently rejected by most of Christianity sometime in the twentieth century.[11]

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has traditionally used pentagrams and five-pointed stars in Temple architecture, particularly the Nauvoo Illinois Temple[13] and the Salt Lake Temple. These symbols derived from traditional morning star pentagrams that are no longer commonly used in mainstream Christianity

ok ok... I'm a little confused with all this. A few months ago I asked here this question: If Jesus was a Jew, why aren't we all Jewish?

The answers I got weren't bad, some of them made sence. I'm Christian (Mormon) and I believe in Jesus... but I don't understand a lot why the Jews don't accept Jesus. That is the only thing I know about Judaism. I don't know any Jew except for 2 great teachers I have and they are super great persons but althought I have a lot of curiosity and my intention is just to learn, never to be disrespectful, contradict or make conflicts but I don't really dare to ask them because I don't want them to think that I want to contradict or something.

What is the Jew's point of view about God and why did Hitler hate them so much? (another part of history that I don't really get).

Is it true that Judaism only accepts one part of the Bible?
if so, why not the other one too.

God’s love is related to His salvation program. He loves His chosen people (the elect), who are scattered all over the world; and He demonstrates His love by saving them from eternal Hell:

Romans 5:8 “But God commendeth [exhibits] his love toward us [believers], in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”

Galatians 3:13 “Christ hath redeemed us [believers] from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:”

2 Corinthians 5:21 “For he [God] hath made him [Jesus Christ] to be sin for us [believers], who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.”

Revelation 5:9 “And they [believers] sung a new song, saying, Thou [Jesus Christ] art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

The KJV has served it purpose. Let it go! There is no need to struggle with two foreign languages; the translated Greek and Hebrew and the archaic British! Many modern Americans can barely understand Brits today, let alone, 300yrs ago!! Don't get me wrong, the KJV was a great translation for its time. Did you know there was as about much criticism over the KJV back then compared to other "elder" versions as there is over the modern translations compared to the ,now, "elder" KJV!! What a small world afterall! A wise book once said, "History only repeats itself." This is so obviously the case right here. Tradition can be a two-edged sword. Some traditons are good such as family reunions, praying before you go to bed, going to church on sunday ,but on the other hand there are other traditions that are bad, such as slavery, goverment oppression, the unrest in Middle East and so on. God has given mankind common sense to discern between a "good moral excercise in faith" and just a bad habit.
