We all know that the earth is coming to an end with all the pollution and natural catastrophies.

We also know that there is a possiblity that humans might have to evacuate to Mars or some other planet.

If one day it is announced all over the world that humans must immediatly evacuate in a spaceship to Mars since earth is going to blow up in 5 days, would you Christians choose to
stay on earth to wait for Jesus for another 5 days or hop on the ship for safety?

If you choose to leave earth then there goes the whole prophecy about Jesus' second coming Oo

This is not just a hypothetical question. Sure it won't happen anytime soon but for the future Chirstian generations it will happen.

If you happen to be in that generation as a Christian what would you do?

What if you choose to stay and earth actually blows up without any Jesus coming?

Then Mars would be free from Christianity I suppose.

That would not be a nice way to end your cult.

I've met many people who claim to be very, VERY, religious god-fearing people.
However, at the same time, these people consciously do 'bad things'-- acts that are considered sinful and immoral. They then go on to state how appalled they are by agnostic or atheist people.
On the other hand, these terrible nonbelievers generally seem to be kind, considerate, moral people, who are seen as supporters of the devil.
I find this ironic. Agree?

I'm not saying this is always the case, but I've witnessed it a lot.

Assuming this is true, why would Jesus have not died at the "end of the world", preached the redemption gospel to everyone in the history of the world that has died, and allowed all of them to see direct evidence of his sacrifice? Why come in the middle, preach to some in hell (if so, there would be no reason to say "nah, I think I'll hang down here, you guys enjoy peace, joy, and the A/C in Heaven."), and offer salvation by faith to others. If he wanted us to worship him through faith and choose to love him, why wouldn't he have come wayyyy earlier in human's recorded history to allow more people to serve and worship him in this way?

Nation. How is that so? You tell me?

For example: their anti-war and anti-Government consistently and incessantly are not helping in building up a strong Nation but on the contrary destroying her as the "fifth column"

Imagine the great disappointment and disgust that the young proud Americans who volunteer to defend their Nation; going to wars and what they sincerely believed as protecting their families and Nation; upholding freedom, and peace and equality for all men, to come home and be attacked by these leftist with rotten tomatoes and vicious verbal attacks from the mass media ? Worse than that, even when they are in the foreign lands helping to set the natives free from their tyrannical rules, their morale are being wounded by the same liberal back home, singing the enemy's tune and kissing the bully's boots while undermining the good works of the troops oversea and the people back home.

What a sorry sight these Democrats and Liberal portrays to the world watching. True?

Paul and other NT writers firmly believed that Jesus would return either within their own lifetime or the lifetime of the people they were addressing their books to. They were obviously wrong (if you believe in a future coming of Jesus, and not a spiritual coming in AD 70). How can we trust anything else that they say when they were so wrong on this point? How did the Holy Spirit who supposedly directed the words they wrote misguide them on this simple fact? They did not take the approach that most mainstream Christian leaders now take ("It Could be today, it could be in a hundred years, but let's be ready!"). They were very obvious in their belief that Jesus would return within their listeners lifetime...they did not know when, but they knew it would be soon (and soon in the most simple definition...not 2000 years).

Etiquette says that gifts shouldn't be asked for or given for an elopement; however, my fiance and I have already received two (cash).

How should we respond to anyone else asking what we'd like or want from them? Basically, how do we turn them down politely?

My Advantium microwave/oven suddenly quit working. I love this appliance. Am baking bread in the big oven on the stove and heating up soup on the burner. I really miss the convenience. I hear it's healthier to not microwave foods anyway.

Its like what they say about Voodoo, or ghosts. People only see when they believe. So if nobody believed, and I mean everybody on the planet, would their be a God? Assuming that only one person is needed to believe, in order to make God real. So if all of the human race goes exinct, and there is no human to believe in a God, is there still a God?

Just a thought

I am totally lusting over a man at chuch. I am married and will never do anything. However I find myself thinking about him and looking for him at chuch. During mass when it was time to exchange peace, he winked at me and held my hand so gentle. My husband will not let me live this down, he refers to him as winky. My husband knows I am attracted to this man, but he knows that's where it ends. Help!! How do I stop lusting over him. Do I need to change church? Should I talk to a priest about this. I have prayed and although it helps, it's still there.

Thomas new Jesus intimately but still demanded proof. I neither know him intimately, nor did I get the same proof as Thomas did. If one of his followers distrusted how can one who is not a follower be slighted for demanding the same proof?

Hello!! So, I am writing a paper for a class (Anth 332, Shamanism and Healing) on people's experiences of losing a loved one, sensing the presence of those who have passed on, etc. etc. Please, answering even just ONE of these questions would help, as long as you don't mind possibly being quoted in a paper. Thank you soooooooo much!!!!!

1.Have you ever been close to someone who has died? If so, who? How close were you?
2.Have you ever felt a strong sense of the presence of someone who has died?
3.Have you ever had vivid memories of someone who has died?
4.Vivid dreams?
5.Do certain sights, sounds, smells, etc. bring back strong memories of a person?
6.Do certain places (specific or unspecific) give you a strong sense of the dead?
7.Have you ever felt the presence of a person/people that you did NOT personally know? (i.e. being in a place and sensing spirits of people who died long ago, sensing past unrest)

I just finished watching "Judgement Day: Intelligent Design on Trial" on Nova (PBS) which recreated the recent lawsuit against the Dover PA. school board when they tied to sneak "scientific" cretinism, er, creationism into the classroom.

Displayed over and over again was the intellectual dishonesty, and immoral and unethical actions of the religious activists on the school board both in the board meetings and in the courtroom.

How stupid do they think we are? Didn't they realize that this was doomed to failure like all other attempts to being religion into the public classroom? Why did they waste the school board's money fighting this ridiculous lawsuit.

What the hell is the matter with these people?
