they are discussing how when a Muslim man dies, he will see the "72 virgin women who are so beautiful, that you will want to just stare at them for 40 years straight .... etc...

1. Will there also be 72 hot virgin men when a Muslim woman dies?
2. Where did they come up with "72" ...
and
3. Isn't putting the emphasis on just "good looks" and beauty sending the wrong message...?

seriously. so much time is spent keeping homosexuals out of the church, why cant that time be spent keeping child molesters and sexual predators out? dont you think the time spent hating gays could be put toward better uses?

there was even a story from a couple months ago of multiple molestations in a church. and there was this incident where a couple of girls (11 and 12) played a trick on their youth teacher, they put shaving cream on the ladies door handles (to her car) and in her purse and some other stuff. well she took some car oil and poured it on the kids, the kids thought it was water so they had their eyes open and looking up at her as she poured it on them.

what in the world is wrong with christians. (i know this isnt all christians but how can such a loving religion produce such people?)

Why does the R&S Spell Checker go nuts when you check the spelling of "proven" which is the past tense and the past participle of "prove". Doesn't R&S like logic, reasoning, and proof?

You say god won't interfere with my life because he wants me to have free will. But then you call yourself "god's warrior" and interfere with my life. Did god hire you "under the table" to act as his goon squad so that he could deny any involvment in the interference of my free will?

In my life, I have been to the alter to be 'saved' twice. Once when I was very young, 16 and then again during a period of deep depression 5 years ago. Even so, I was still what you would call a "liberal Christian". Thank God.

I have since learned a great deal and I don't buy into that any more.



I am just curious what you all have to say.

I do not fear the biblical god.

It will be interesting to see if you agree with each other or not.

if all religious holidays that are also federal holidays became normal operating days, but you were given an equivelent amount of days off for vacation...

personally I'd love an extra week or 2 in the middle of summer, i'd give up christmas, easter, and thanksgiving as a trade...

Thats more time for me to ride my motorcycle with my friends, or pick up girls on the strip in my dune-buggy...

What does "God" look like?
What would YOU see?
How do you describe "God" in manifest form?
{not what or who IS "God"}

God is real because if he wasn't science wouldn't exist...Nothing would stay the same ever. Things would constantly change and no law could ever be determined as absolute. Why is it that all things can change, except the fundamental laws of science? This makes no sense, and there is definately no scientific explanation for why these certain things must have laws...Many secular scientists notice the irreducible complexity in all living things...How long until the credit for this design is given to an all powerful and almighty GOD. That God is the GOD of the BIBLE! Jesus Christ came to this earth, by a virgin birth, to live a perfect life and to save this fallen world from the result of SIN eternal damnation. In order to save an unperfect world, a perfect sacrifice had to be made. The one and only SON of GOD was this sacrifice. Repent and turn from your humanistic views, what your following is BLIND FAITH...Trust in the TRUTH, JESUS CHRIST and you may be set free from Satan's choke hold!

Religions should not be exceptions to evolutions and revolutions. New religions have evolved from old religions in the past. Does this process continue even now?

C.S. Lewis:

Christianity, if false, is of no importance, and if true, of infinite importance. The only thing it cannot be is moderately important.

So, did he say this because he was genuinely stupid, or because it makes Christians feel more secure?

Christians, whether consciously or subconsciously know that no atheist (in the U.S.) would say Christianity is of no importance... so what was going through this man's head?

Our ignorance about Bangladesh, for example, is understandable since it's way over there and 10,000 lives lost in a cyclone (last week) is no where near as important as Paige Hilton's latest scandal. However, there's Canada - bigger than the U.S.A. - lying on top of us with all those heavy resources and what do we know about our neighbor? Squat!
