Aren't they mutually exclusive, since Christianity is a theistic religion, and Buddhism is a non-theistic religion? How can you possibly reconcile the two?

I can certainly see the connections between Buddhism and esoteric Christianity, in terms of the enlightenment experience, but one experience is the "Void" and one is a loving "God", which are different in themselves.

So how to reconcile?

Proof all around us?Scientists once believed in the idea of random chance plus time yielding life, but in 1965, the Big Bang theory came to dominate in cosmology. This showed that the universe was not infinitly old, but less then five billion years old and with that the mathematical odds of assembling ONE living organism are so astronomical, that even if you optimized the conditions it wouldn't work. The probability of linking JUST one hundred amino acids to create one protein molecule by chance would be the same as a blindfolded man finding one marked grain of sand somewhere in the vastness of the Sahara Desert, three differant times. Plus the FACT that the fossil records show that in rocks dated back some 570 million years, there is the sudden appearance of nearly all the animal phyla and they just suddenly appear, with no evidence for Darwinism. Also there are about 50 constants and quantities that must be balanced to a mathematically infinitesimal degree for ANY life to be possible

Seriously, racism is so overrated! Everyone is human, and everyone has feelings! WHO CARES IF YOU ARE BLACK, WHITE, RED, YELLOW, or WHATEVER color you are!! I am so sick of reading articles about racism and about how people do stupid things just because they don't like someone because of their color! God made everyone equal and people need to grow up! Do you agree??

Im not talking about the 10 commandmants, for what are we stoned for, burned, killed, and all other things. How many people were punished in the bible? Why are the rules in the OT not followed today? Is there something in the bible that says, change #1, all previous editions are not to be followed, these are the new rules.

Over the years, I have been surprised at how the USA seldom talks about Puerto Ricans. Many Americans know little to nothing about thier history. Some say they are foreigners. With so much emphasis on illegals, they are simply forgotten. Before, it was all about Cubans and the fight over the little boy from Cuba. Many Mexicians do not considered ricans as hispanics. How ironic to think that Mexicans are the only hispanics when Spain had visited the Caribbean long before Mexico. Peurto Ricans are easier to get along with. They do clique against others like La Raza. Many ricans are pro- illegals. This is a major mistake! Mexicans are using them for ulterior motives. I live in El Paso and used to live in San Antonio, I know how they are treated. Many choose to simply blend into the Mexican community and exist. I know ricans, cubans, and dominicans who are treated like dirt in Texas. The USA wants Puerto Rico to become a State but fails to treat ricans with appropriate respect.

At first, I rejected religion(Christianity) and called myself an atheist for a while
But I also have a side of me that I possibly might believe that there was a God that did create the universe but does not interfere with any universal laws
That there is no worshiping , no afterlife , no prayer , pretty much doesnt have anything to do with Us (humans)
My ideal image of God would be like a empty spirit and has no physical form whatsoever
Do you think Im insane? I have been thinking about this for a while now . Am I just creating a belief or a religion? Or is this Deism?

I am going to be a lead in my university's theatre play. We are putting on a play called "The Angry Atheist".
I do not lie though, and the play calls for me to lie during some of my lines. I am wondering if it is okay for me to lie in this situation, since its just acting. I NEVER knowingly tell a lie.

Here is a synopsis of the story:
I am a young homosexual atheist who lies, does drugs, and steals. I am suicidal and all. Then I finally find my way to Jesus Christ and I turn over my life as a homo, thief, and liar for a life devoted to Jesus Christ.

What does it really mean to become a Christian? Is it inherited? Is it a way of living?
I am a Mexican-american and tipically was born in a catholic home, therefore we worshipped the 'Virgin Marie' and all sorts of saints including Jesus Christ. We called ourselves Christians. I developed a need to read the bible and I found lots of things that I personally didn't like about our worshipping habits. We worshipped idols, we prayed saying the same thing over and over like the model prayer and the rosarie. Then I asked myself what is a real Christian? The bible never says about Jesus worshipping saints or idols. He never even said it was ok to worship him or his mother. In fact he specifically said that there was only one who deserved ALL the Glory, his Father. That's why ask this sorry it's so long but I was confused, and I want to see if anyone had the same problem.

Personally, I think that there SHOULD be a separation. The religion of the majority is not the religion of all... so I belive that in a democracy, at least, there should be a reasonable separation between the two. Ethics are not the same as heaven-sent laws.

But I'd love to hear other people's perspectives-- send 'em in!

You know the rules - first correct answer get's the points...

have ye spiritually been born of God? Have ye received his image in your countenances? Have ye experienced this mighty change in your hearts?
Do ye exercise faith in the redemption of him who created you? Do you look forward with an eye of faith...?

Can you give me scriptural references where Jesus says He is God?

I can find many verses where He says He is the Son of God.

I do not understand.

This question is for evolutionists;

Why is it that when you see a new peice of evidence you look at it through your 'evolution colored glasses' and say things like (I heard this on the history channel) "If I didn't know better, I would say these things lived with people, but..."

Because you accept your theory as FACT and not a theory, you can't see the signs for any other theories, why do you do this? This is the kind of thing that is S L O W I N G down science, if we had open minds, in my opinion, we could objectively look at evidence and decide things much better than we do now.
Again, this is my opinion, but, evolutionists, why do you do this?
