Satan is did not create evil nor can he be ervery where as God is. Satan can only be at one place at a time. Furthermore, since satan was created by God, then where do Satan's actions come from. God made all things, everey action, thought, and being. if it was not God then it must have been some other god(or idol). So since God controlls all things and created all things then he created good and evil and controlls what is good and evil, am I right.(Isaih 45)

you know what i'm talking about. if you don't, don't answer. the scene where she shows jay and silent bob how she doesn't have 'any equipment.'

i mean, jesus was never married, right? and he was sinless, so he would have no need for anything there, right? god knew he wouldn't use it....so did he have it?

Without telling me what you were taught -- can you consider what you were taught -- and based on that, guess what percentage of humanity will go to Hell.
Or, if you prefer, the percentage of all persons alive today.

Look at the world around you (the whole world) and give it your best guess.

Of course, your estimations may vary a great deal depending on what you have been taught about Hell -- but for this part of my report I need to get your answers without knowing how you've been taught about it, or what your specific religion is.

Obviously, to answer this question you must at least believe that Hell exists.

I thank you in advance for your participation.

I have a fireplace but have not used it in years. I plan to buy the rod-iron tea candle holder and put in my fire place this Christmas. Our fireplace was built with a defect by the previous owner, and if you use it, it will work for a while but then the smoke drifts into the house instead of up the chimney.

Considering that Pat contends that the 9/11 tragedy was God's punishment for the United States being an "immoral" nation, does it seem weid that he now supports a candidate that is pro-choice and pro gay rights?

we have a problem. im baptized in the greek orthodox church and my fiances religious background is baptist but he never went to church growing up. in order to get married in mychurch he needs to get baptized. I have been calling churches and they say getting baptized is a very spiritual thing. I mean he belives in god and all that but the preachor was saying he has to live by god. Sinning is basically everything bad pre.. marital sex, smoking, drinking , lying so what do they mean you have to give up your life to god? So what does getting baptized really mean and can't he get baptized just for beliving in god?? or does he really have to be SAVED and all this other stuff that is tooo complicated to live life by.
please help

And no, I don't mean a Richard. Have you ever stopped to think why you should be so busy impressing Him and living up to his standards and cleaning up/dealing with His messes?

when that god only blesses America? We hear americans say all the time that, "God bless america and noone else"!
Is american christian evangelism a tool to create "useful christian idiots" in nations to serve American interests? Is all proselytizing for those purposes?

Why do people pray to the Virgin Mary and the other Patron Saints?

Why if God is the only one who can grant forgivness, does a man tell you to say 3 Hail Mary's and you will be forgiven your sins?

Reason i ask a woman held the door open for me when i was like 30 ft away yesterday causing me to have to rush. When i did not break into a sprint she shot me a nasty look. Never mind the employees upset about heat streaming out on a freezing morning. I say if you are further than 7 ft, the only right thing to do is let the door fall and you can open it yourself.

Experiments have been conducted and have shown that ill people for whom nobody prayed experienced better rates of recovery than did ill people whom received prayers.

If God isn't even going to bother responding to prayers to heal sick people, what exactly does he respond to???

This keeps coming up when I dialouge with Christians, they think that it says in the Torah that "if you break one Law, you break them all and you are damned to hell." Did they get this from another misquote from Paul(Galations 3:10) of Deuteronomy 27:26?? If so, Christians, please read the verse and understand the context.
