I tried to say "the de-th of Christ, " de-th"

I use this site as recreation all the time...it is filled with seniors, and very many of them are in a less that ideal situation. I mean, there are many here who are worried about where the next meal is coming from! WE all give to charity...would it be possible to form our own charity group here and help out those few who have shown such kindness to us all? IT takes so little to help so much...I know that many will say "scam," but think about it and let me know what you think. I, for one, would rather contribute something each month to our far less fortunate brothers and sisters here than give my money to unknown charities who spend more on administration than they do on the actual charity work! Here, all money could be used to really be a huge help to those in dire need. I am being too far out? I all but bleed when I read of some of the things that go one here. Please let me know your thoughts...either here or by personal email. Love and peace, Phil

I know I often do.
To me, it seems so sad that reality is so hard for someone that they have to resort to fairy tales.

I know molestation victims that arent even that emotionally fragile!

We know that the universe has the property that consciousness happens inside it, since we are conscious. We are part of the universe and we are conscious. So if a part of the universe is conscious, does that make the universe conscious?

Look at it this way: Your brain is conscious but your heart is not. So, since part of you is conscious, does that make YOU as a whole conscious? I think you would say yes. So is the universe conscious?

They are basing this on what? If God is all powerful, he could lie all of the time, and then just change it so it doesnt look like he lied.
Dispute Logic. And Dont use the Bible Quotes

I can see telling a young kid that to inspire them, but why tell that to a 13 or 14 year old? Its not true, you cant be anything you want to be. We need to teach kids about the realities of life. I am not saying to discourage kids but be realistic. Thoughts?

We have a female manager and all the girls are going out for a Christmas lunch. Our manager wants to treat as a Christmas to all of us and I suggested we all go in on a gift for our manager. Someone wants to buy her a diamond necklace, but others, including myself, feel diamonds are a bit intimate and personal, not something you'd give to a person you work with/for. What do you all think?

Is The Mindfreak Chriss Angel also the son of God? Or does he just own the same magic set as Jesus?

Randy and Paula White, Benny Hinn, David and Joyce Meyer, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland, Bishop Eddie Long, Creflo and Taffi Dollar are all being scrutinized by Senator Chuck Grassley for possible improprieties.

The big winner so far has to be Joyce Meyer, who (according to the Jefferson County, MO assessor's office) has a $23,000 marble-topped commode in her ministry's headquarters. One has to wonder how many needy people could have been helped with $23,000.

What are the tax-exempt reasons for some of these lavish acquisitions?

There's a story that he traviled to the Himilayas to study with Hindu and Buddhist preasts. Some say he returned there after the "resurection."

Where does this story come from and what is the evidence for it?

The last while I have grown very aware of the importance that other "things" have in my life, other than God. It is very upsetting, because God is meant to be first, and I always have a person on my mind. When I wake up, during the day, at night, I can't get him out of mind. And he's shadowing God in my life. What must I do?

That was embarassing to yourself or your character, but you need to talk about it, but have nobody to tell. How did you deal with it?

Let's say you buy a package of gum. You give the vendor $10. The vendor gives you some change. Do you check to see that you have been given the correct change and not been ripped off? Do you look for physical proof that you are being given what you are anticipating to be true? Or do you have faith that you have been given what you believe to be true?

Belief and faith will only take you so far, and almost always lead you astray and you'll be ripped off.

Then why, for the sake of common sense, do you not seek for real proof, real truth, behind some antiquated god-claim much higher in apparent value than a paltry few dollars? How can you put so much trust in an ancient belief system when you must, on a daily basis, actually see the "little stuff" with your own eyes before you will accept it? Doesn't this contradiction seem wrong to anybody else?

And don't use the lame "the bible tells me so" answer. That falls in the same category.

I was always taught to think that Jesus was God's son and have always wondered how anyone could allow their child, their ONLY child, to suffer so much for the sins of others (us). I've just never gotten that and now that I have a child myself I know that I would first die than to have anyone hurt my child so I just don't get why God would allow his only son to suffer so much. If you don't believe in God then please don't answer with He wasn't real. I would like answers from those of you who really believe in Him and that believe that Jesus was his son.
