There's a blood drive at my school and a friend told me that it wasn't okay for Christians to give blood. Is this true?

I am looking for some reference material that can provide me either proof or disproof of reincarnation. Biblical texts are fine, but I am also looking for other sources, such as those from other ancient texts such as the Essenes, and other lost gospels, so to speak.

I need serious information. I don't want personal opinions or thoughts, only proof. If anyone knows where I can find this info, I would really appreciate it very much.

reflection of your parents? This saying would always stop me in my tracks when I was about to do something because I did not want to bring shame on my parents.

I'm on a selection commitee at work. Employees have submitted applications to join a volunteer program. We have to select who should be on which volunteer program. We don't know most of these people.

There's one black guy in the group. He called a Mexican-American volunteer a drug dealer because of his name. He wanted to reject another volunteer because his name sounds Jewish and they make good lawyers but should stay out of everything else. He went on and on like this making 4 or 5 comments. Some of us pointed out that he was in violation of company rules by making those statements. This guy truely believes that blacks are the only minority group in the US and all others are fair game.

How should this be dealt with? Should we report him or ignore him?

…her/him?

I think that anyone living in today's society who claimed to be the messiah would be regarded as having some sort of mental disorder. If you agree, then answer this:

What difference does the fact that he lived two millenia ago make?

-Please note that the only reason I specify Christians is that they worship someone who was a person with a physical body rather than an abstract being.

The outrage we feel against evil acts - hijackers steering jets into buildings full of people, kidnappers abusing and killing young children, the list can go on and on - Does this point tp a built in sense that something is desperately wrong. If there is such a thing as evil ... Doesn't it offer a backhand proof of God's existence?

What is your view on Hollywood and Christianity? Example: Let's say like Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston marry. Both of them are actors. Brad has steamy love scenes in his movies and Jennifer has steamy love scenes in her movies. However, they're married to each other. Isn't that comitting adultery???? The Bible says "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." Matthew 5:28. So THINKING about sinning is already committing adultery. What is your take on this?

We should have a right to no believe, just as you should have the right to believe. Why do you feel you need to 'save' us or show us 'the way' and save our souls from eternal damnation and a hell of eternal flame!? We don't need salvation, we don't believe, please respect that, and we will respect that you do believe! Does anyone else feel attacked by christians?

Is it true that the New Testament was written 100s of years after Jesus's lifetime? Who wrote the books and where did they get their facts?

...I have heard "Faith is the element of belief". I have also heard that "The Dead Sea Scrolls were found in the Earth, so that must be evidence!"

Just curious of what religion is actually "correct", because there is "evidence" of all religions being "correct". Or has this evidence been placed in the Earth by ancient people for later discovery meaning nothing but a distraction from the truth? Some may call me crazy, but no one person can really the "truth" until death. I am just wondering your take on religion, so I may use it later as a resource of some sort.

Mine are the freedom to go through any door in any public or gov't building without ID, being able to go to church with the doors always open, being able to open a package of anything easily with no tamper-resistant packaging, being able to just get on a plane when it arrived with no hassles, being able to leave K-Mart without having my receipt checked on the way out, not having to give my name, rank, serial #, and SS# to do business, to name a few.

On the issue of whether or not there is a God, primarily. Personally, I think Alan Keyes or even the pope would give him a run for his money.
