Muslim Head Teacher running a Christian faith school?? I sure haven't.
So why on Earth is there a Christian running a Muslim school??
And to add to this - not even running it properly:

This guy proved to me that Jesus was just made up and I researched the apologist answers, and then the skeptic sources and I guess he's right - but I don't care!

My pastor told me that I had to still believe anyway because my parents are believers also and I cannot break tradition because it will ruin the economy and democracy, He said that facts do not matter when it comes to faith.

so I decided even though Jesus never was really a person, that I would just keep believing - I mean it's a lot easier to keep believing it, instead of listening and debating against all that reason and logic. I mean, i get tired of thinking so much. Which is OK because my Pastor said that the Bible says to bypass the intellect with faith and it's dangerous to think about things too much - one could blaspheme!

I understand it is a basic American right. I'm interested to know your opinion on if it is still necessary? I can see how that would be necessary in colonial times when the British were invading homes and such. But I just don't see why we need it in contemporary society?

Statistics point to US as extremely violent in comparison with other nations. Nations with lower homicide/suicide statistics showed greated "Gun Control" laws. Do you think greater Gun Control would lead to less violence?

OK. Who wrote the Bible? It is claimed to be the word of God, fair enough but who wrote it down? Just a bunch of people who claimed to be speaking to God a few thousand years ago? Well consider if someone made the same claims today. Where would they end up? A secure unit? Also why follow the bible when in truth it is simply the viewpoint of whoever wrote it all those years ago?

In all honesty I like the idea of religion but all the rational parts of my mind cannot get around these few issues.

I was hoping not to offend anyone with this question so apologies to those who were offended.

Before Me there was no God formed, Nor shall there be after Me. Isaiah 43:10

If there is no God formed before or after God then who is this verse talking about.

In [the] beginning the Word was, and the Word was with God, and the Word was a god. NLT

Did God say there would be (a god) formed after me or that there would not be a god formed after me?

My favorite was Three Billy Goats Gruff. It taught me:
1. Don't be greedy.
2. No matter how tough you think you are, there's always someone bigger and badder out there, who's more than happy to kick your butt!!

So this is our work end of the year party. We can't even call it a *holiday* party because we want our friends and coworkers who are JWs to attend, without offense. We are having it at a mexican restaurant and we are all about emergency air ambulance. I think it would be good to include the word *fiesta*

Any great ideas?

Serious question. I do and will always continue to do so. As Christmas time approaches, spare a thoght for those who can't afford anything, let alone, a Christmas dinner. Some suggestions.
1) Buy a small toy for the Salvation Army, they distribute to poor children at Christmas.
2) Send a Christmas Card to some "Retirement Homes" , even if you don't know anyone there.
3) Take a toy to Church, to be given to any poor families with children.
All ideas welcome?

Since coming into Yahoo Answers I have learned that the Mormon church claims that Polygamy was commanded by God. When did this happen? I was a Mormon forty years ago and that was never mentioned in their church.

Also are Mormons pushing to have polygamy reinstated? I see some of their members talking in here about how they wish polygamy was legal.

I wanted to find the right God, so I just started praying four years ago for God to reveal himself to me, whoever he was. I wanted the real God - the creator of the universe - the God of love and truth!

Well, I get on my knees every night before bed and sincerely pray for God to show me himself (however he chooses to do it) I've done this for four years! I wait.

I pray first thing in the morning also, while I'm getting ready for work. I got nothing at all, really, except for this deep peace that I was a human and that everything was going to be alright.

I felt an increasing connection to all life and to the world. But no specifics about who or what God is!?

So two years ago, I read through the Bible, and was somewhat compelled, but something just wasn't jiving with my soul, so I read the Koran- same thing!

I read the Bhgavad Gita and it stirred me, and felt more like a philosophy that I could relate to than a God-focused religion.

God, feels more and more like just life itself!

It seems that around the world, the church is becoming more and more extinct!

Wicca is the fastest growing religion

and More people than ever are claiming to be either atheists, agnostic or skeptics

Is it just that people are becoming more educated about things - I mean, you can browse the internet and in minutes, find out the answer to any question!

Is it just harder for people to embrace mythical stories and believe in stuff like walking on water, virgin births and water turning into wine, when that kind of stuff just doesn't happen in real life?
