why doesn't he make sure it is more widespread than the Bible and available to EVERYBODY in their own language like the Bible is? There's no Quran in my native language, but there IS a Bible.

No disrespectful answers, please. :)

Of course, atheists included. In my view, religion is something that takes faith, and it takes faith to believe in nothing.

Have you ever noticed how those who proclaim their morality are often the ones who are the most dishonest? The ones who lie, cheat, etc?

There is evidence supporting this:

This is a prime example of why people of faith have it backwards. You are good person if you do good things. Believing you are a good person doesn't mean that what you do is good. Rely on evidence, not belief.

What do you say?

Do you, as a person of faith, have anything against homosexuals?
Why/why not?

I guess I will share mine. Uhmm I used to give some sermons at our church (100-200 people or so) when I was 16-18 and when I was 20 I got into some big legal trouble. Instead of turning their back on me the church got two cards, one for me and one for my family, offering their support and love. This really meant a lot. I kind of expected them to hate me and call me a hypocrite or whatever but they showed support.

And who's mom let her drink by age 11...had been with 4 different guys/12 kids...(yet graduated from harvard) basically we're talking the rich Southern florida life, and a daughter who's had no guidance, and she's probably the prettiest girl in the world so she's been through things/taken advantage of sexually.

point being without further details, the basis of my point is i'm trying to witness to her, and it's hard because there seems to be so much sin in her life that it's hard to see through it.

Point being how do you best witness to someone when they put a stigma on god and are so apathetic towards it?

It seems like I can't make up my mind about what I believe in or disbelieve in. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, how did you resolve this uncertainty. What conclusion about things did you come to? This has been tearing me up the past several days, and off and on many years. Just curious what others say about this. All repsonses are welcomed and encouraged. Thanks in advance.

I bought 3 felt Christmas stockings last year from Walmart. I was pregnant with my daughter and didn't buy one for her this year. They had quite a few different stockings and they seemed to be more modern. One has a Christmas tree on it and it is made of triangles. Anyway, I'm hoping to somehow, somewhere find another of these for my little girl so they all match. If anyone knows what I'm talking about or has any suggestions, thanks!!

(I know, I'm being very picky, it's her first Christmas!!!)

Speaking hypothetically, if someone saved your life would save theirs even if it could risk hurting you. In a dream i dreamed that i died willingly for someone and im wondering if it means i should save someone.

If Ephesians 2:8 says that we are saved by faith, which is the gift of God, and 2 Thessalonians 3:2 says that not all people have faith, then doesn't that mean that God didn't even give me a chance? If I don't have that gift, how can I believe? And if I can't believe, how can I be saved?

It is just one of those nights. Around someone who holds grudges from HOURS AGO; and messes-up my peace-of-mind. I really want to find a CONSTANT prayer that I can say that can help me to STAY CALM WITHIN MYSELF...no matter what my surrounding circumstances are!
Thanks in advance.
