(Whoops...just asked this in the wrong category...)

I just stopped by the Yahoo home page and spied this article:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071115/ap_en_ot/praying_for_hollywood

It's a good thing I hadn't eaten supper yet or I think I would have thrown up. I couldn't even make it through the whole article. This is the best thing that these people can think to pray about?

so everyone says that there is no evidence for jesus or the bible or that any of it is accurate but could you not say that for just about all of ancient history? why is everyone focusing on jesus and christianity? how do we really know that china had many dynasties a long time ago? if people dont believe that jesus existed because everything that was written about him was by his disciples and "crazy" people that claim to talk to this "weird" god and they were all lying could that not be true for all other ancient things? chinese dynasties? ancient wars? things that have no proof other than what people have written down on stone tablets and painted on walls? could they not have been lying? could they not have been "crazy" too? why only question christianity and not everything else?

if 9/11 never happened i think there wouldn't be harsh racist against Muslims, and so much stereotypes when you think of the word "Islam" or "Muslim". Cause me as a Muslim its has shaped me to become proud of my religion and i think everyone should be proud of what they are. And i really don't believe that Muslims where part of 9/11 and i don't need you guys to explain that. So how has 9/11 changed your perspective on Muslims, and how would America and the whole world be if 9/11 didn't happen? Please be kind and respect i want to discuss this like grownups.

I had an experience once. As I approached a doorway, and then another. The spirits there, faces were blurry at first. But were smiling when I got closer. Made me think they could have just as easily appeared frightening to someone who wasn't allowed to be there yet.

imagine if you will, the first group of apes that develop the ability to reason. the apes that grow tired of the silverbacks getting all the action, make up a story about the sun god wanting them to have monogamous relationships so the smarter apes can have some fun. when more problems confront the clever apes they invent more sun god rules, and the blind stay blind.

Creationists:

Please watch this video before responding:

Do you believe the (99.9999%) of scientists from all areas (biology, evolutionary bio, genetics, etc.) who believe in the theory of evolution are lying? Or do you believe that they are just misguided? Do creationists just shrug off science? Whats the reasoning? Just curious.

How would you say "I did not do anything mean to her so why was she ignoring me?" in French?

Would it be:
Je n'ai pas fait quelque chose me(/)chant a(\) mon amie. Porquoi mon amie a ignore(/) moi?

(The (/) or (\) means the accents on the letter before it)

Or do you think it will be made exclusively for government use one day; or, on the other hand, do you belive this won't happen because it is a way of keeping track on people?

I don't have money myself, but often think I could do something, anything to help. As a family, we often give bags full of good stuff to charity shops who then sell them on at inflated prices and I never know what happens to anything. I'd rather give it directly or at least be able to contribute in some way. Selective links only please. This is a serious enquiry. Thanks

How can you take a complete lack of evidence and draw a conclusion on that basis?

I mean have you ever actually seen anyone walking down the street thumping on their bible? We talk about God's word and share it when we can. Just something I have wondered about......where did that term ever come from I wonder? I guess if someone would play the candlesticks you could have a pretty good band.

“Truth always rests with the minority, and the minority is always stronger than the majority, because the minority is generally formed by those who really have an opinion, while the strength of a majority is illusory, formed by the gangs who have no opinion -- and who, therefore, in the next instant (when it is evident that the minority is the stronger) assume its opinion... while truth again reverts to a new minority.” ~ Soren Kierkegaard

Yet, I have been to some "christian" churches where members get up and confess their sins to the congregation.

Others attack on the validity of the Catholic Sacrament of Reconciliation. However, they do not understand the Catholic faith because Catholics as a matter of fact do ask God for forgiveness everyday, if they are living their faith correctly. We also make an act of contrition at every Sunday mass, begining with "We confess to Almighty God..."

In addition to these, Catholics are blessed to receive healing and forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Also, all minor occasions of sin are wiped clean every time a Catholic receives communion. You who oppose the Catholic Church and Her Holy Sacraments, instead of condemning and criticizing, should praise God for His mercy on Catholic sinners.

To paraphrase Jesus, which is easier to do: Vocally confess to a living person and bring your sins into the light, or keep your sins in secret and in the dark?
