Because Christianity and Islamism are cousin religions, very similar and worship the same God?

Perhaps it was a kind word, a smile, simply a sunset, a bird singing, or even an old friend calling to say you are loved? I see all these things and more as spiritual moments.
Peace Be With You,
Debra

if you abandon belief in a deity altogether you have, to many, committed an unforgivable act?

"I believe in magic tablets and that I'll play my uncle in volleyball in the clouds" Oh, that's his right.

"I believe that I haven't reached level 7 yet on my pre-post clear" Oh, that's his right.

"I don't believe in any of it". SINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Because they rely on the Bible to be able to LIVE? And think trough the Bible? And explain through the Bible? I could go on forever.
Can you live WITHOUT a BIBLE?
I can.

It's a bit vain, but I always think of 'enlightenment' myself.

I am "the king" if you saw my other question im going to post what i wrote just incase you missed out.

"Now lets say the big bang theroy was correct and thats how the earth was created ? How can life just appear without an intelligent designer. The Earth was once filled with no life so is spontaneous generation correct life started from none living things ? How was the first cell evolved from a non living substance. I forgot his name but in the 13th century it was though that rats came from rags and magots came from meat spontaneous generation the belive that living things originated from non living things correct. But this was dissapproved it also dissaproved evolution because life just cant appear unless you belive in spontaneous generation or an intelligent design im 13 amd i figered it out now have you "

And Dont Say spontaneous generation and abiogenesis are diffierent they both have the same meaning
spontaneous generation noun biology Also Called abiogenesis "

Yeah, neither do I.

But.....Do you know who thinks that some of the greastest evil in the world comes from the Jewish mind?

The co-author of the Left Behind series, Tim LaHaye seems to think so.

http://www.slate.com/id/45483/

LaHaye explained. "Some of the greatest evil in the history of the world was concocted in the Jewish mind. Sigmund Freud, Marx, these were Jewish minds that were infected with atheism."


Personally, I think that great evil comes from a Red Sox fans mind. But I guess I didn't get enough of that anti-semite training in those left behind novels!

All right, I am a very educated, level headed man, who doesn't believe in things which bear no proof or substance (i.e., God)

At this point in my life, however, I have "devolved" from disregarding all things supernatural as fiction, to not writing anything off as true unless I have evidence in it's truthfullness.

I'm asking anyone out there who claims to be a psychic, to refute my skepticism, and answer three questions for me. Note, these questions do not have answers which can be found in my profile, or any of questions I have answered, and are deeply personal. They're easy to guess at, I would suppose, but I want specifics. If you can answer ONE question correctly, then I won't write you off as a phony. If you answer TWO or more, then, well, you win.

QUESTION ONE:

I love only one woman: tell me something about her

QUESTION TWO:

My daughter is 17 years old: tell me something about her

QUESTION THREE:

I have a drug addiction: What is my drug of choice?

When I was in high school my community set up a program in which families could sign up to be on a "safe homes" list. If a child or teen was in danger (due to domestic violence at home, etc)., they could go to one of the houses on the safe home list.
Now that I'm an adult I'd like to register to be one of the safe homes, but I can't remember what the name of this program was. Any ideas?

I'm gay myself so this isn't a homophobic thread or anything. I know being direct and ask someone straight up is the best policy, but sometimes that's hard to do, especially when you're working at a place like Best Buy.

Anyways, there is a guy at work, whenever he sees me, he shakes my hand by squeezing it, and if he's far away, he would smile and wave.

EVERY SINGLE TIME!

Don't you think that's just too excessive?

I'm polite and friendly and I wave and say hi too, but not that excessively. He could be a phony, but he could also be gay.

What non-perverted thing can I do to find out about his sexual orientation?

He told people to pray to god "lead us not to temptation, but deliver us from evil". Is he saying that god does led people to temptation unless we beg him not to? If he was god shouldn't he have known that he does not get involved with our "choice" to do evil? Was he confused? Or just a man with questions like the rest of us?

will you feel like an idiot for having worshiped your religion?

like... when you are looking at earth from billion of miles away and think that at one time people imagined a holy war on earth was Gods primary concern... wont you feel like an ***?

or Christians, how would it make you feel if you were standing on an alien planet on the other side of the galaxy that was more advanced than us and had different views of where we all came from?

on behalf of all mankind to those of you who still believe in religion, please dont kill us all before we get there.

Someone asked if Jesus ever mentioned gays himself in the Bible:
I couldn't find them, so I couldnt email this answer.

Aren't I bad?
anywho, my answer:

Its impossible to know exactly what Jesus said in his lifetime, because it would be extremely deluded to think the words in the Bible were the only words he ever uttered.

You may also notice that Jesus did not mention that it was wrong to engage in incestous acts. Does that make it any less forbidden?

However, it all depends on where you stand, do you believe the bible is a faultless word of God? therefore, even though iut was not written by God, it was commisioned by God to have the "correct" info in it?

Christians are generally aware fo the fact that you can't "cut and paste" with the bible. You can't exclude any of its writings because it wasn't spoken by Jesus himself.

I have no doubt in my mind that Jesus loved homosexuals, but did not love the sin which would tear them from God.
