I am not suggesting what is referred to on this site as "fundie" dogma. I have a unified theory of all things developing and I have given it a name "One". I am completely certain that this forum does not provide me enough space to offer my argument.

One thing I am certain off is disagreement from every angle. So, this is a poll of sorts; how many people by percentage would be willing to investigate an argument that provides a unified solution to man’s biggest questions? How many would be free thinking enough to consider such an argument?

We have all these thoughts on heaven and hell, when we really don't know what we're saying to begin with. Without evil, there is no good. This world works both with good and evil, so acts upon events can unfold in this planet. From negative, is positive. They go hand in hand. Lets just say text book style, hell is a place the evil are condemned. What defines evil though? Do men and women that serve their countries go to hell because they murder in belief for their call of duty, their country, their belief? One of the commandments that COMMAND you, says you should not kill. How do you explain that? Is there fine print that says "exception of wars." A man that steals to feed the poor, does he go to hell? Some religious beliefs believe that sacrificing your life for a cause grants you to heaven, yet to others that condemns you to hell. We will never understand how this universe purely operates, so many should stop believing in silly stories that tell us how. Be rational. Not insane.

There is one argument a LOT of Christians use - "Ok then, how did the molecules come about?" well I ask: "How did God come about? He would be FAR more complex than anything else in the universe wouldn't you say?"

I have a 27 pound turkey, it's been in the refrid since monday and it's still frozen. Should I take it out and place it in the sink, once it thaws - I am planning on cooking it (tomorrow). My house is about 78 degrees so I'm not sure if it will be wise leaving turkey in sink

If you look up, is it because you want to see God?
If you look down, is it because you are ashamed?

I tend to look up...

My back yard is the woods... I like to sit on my back porch and contemplate the greenery and I pray. That's my altar.

I was in Sociology class tonight and our lecture was on aging. This question came up (I am the only person over 30 besides the teacher) and I said I would ask you guys and come back next week with some answers. My answer was that I can enjoy more things because I am not so worried about what others will think.

I also heard, that in the bible, they said it was against the bible's rules to date a black if u where white. I have nothing whatsover bout blacks. Some are pretty cool. I say the same with whites, SOME are cool. Not all of them are. Some whites are crack heads, some blacks are crack heads. Don't you wish it would all stop? Don't you wish that u wouldn't get pushed out of the way coz ur white or black?

I'm white, u might notice that, and a lot of black people are very mean to me. I know it isn't intentional, and I prolly shouldn't care, but I do. But it's kay, some white girsl are snobs. A lot of em are. No one is superior to the other, thanks for reading, make sure to answer!

We all believe in the same God so why judge Religions?

Catholics believe in the same God as you do but yet many of you judge us, did Jesus tell you to?

So what if we do things that are different, what has it got to do with some people, why tell us we can't do this and we can't do that, and what we do is wrong, is that your place or not?

Instead of judging why not show love and peace, that is what Jesus wants!

As it is nearing the Christmas season, I realize that alot of parents out there can barely afford to pay the bills, let alone scape up some money to buy their kids Christmas presents.
I am 16, and I come from a good family, and make good money. But for some reason this made me sad knowing that kids out there will be sad on Christmas. Where can I donate some money to help them?

Who are these angels?
Vs 6
And angels who did not keep their own principality but abandoned their own dwelling place, He has kept in eternal bonds under gloom for the judgement of the great day.

A cross reference for these angels is seen in 2 Peter 2:4

For if God did not spare the angels who sinned but delivered them to gloomy pits, having cast them down to Tartarus, they being kept for judgement.

What do you believer these angels have to do with the account in Genesis 6:2 where the sons of God and the daughters of men were married and the breed of men called Nephilims were born.. these mighty men of old.

What do you know of this matter in the word? Please feel free to share on it.

Ty in advance
in Christ

Why is it that the state has to stay out of the affairs of the church but the church doesn't have to stay out of the affairs of the state? To me it seems that government can not interfere with religion or with the church but when the church voices out against something of the government or state, people usually oblige to their demands and change things because of them in the government. Why is this? Does separation of church and state only apply to the state not being able to interfere and allow the church to interfere with government? I know this is not true and that the deal goes both ways but to me it seems that the church interferes alot with the government.

i love God and the catholic faith
espacially when God saved me from being a satanist.....
even though i am not baptised but i realised this..God is a father more then my father on earth...Mary is my mother more then my mother on earth
why is it that all my friends (their catholic)
seem like they only pray when it fits best for them...or when they are told to...
but me i am not baptised but i pray a rosary everynight before i go to bed...
i pray for people who hate me, for my friends even when they hate me, for all my friends
i barely ever pray for myself unless its for forgiveness of sins
i pray for everything to be good for them...
nothing for me

am i being misleaded
i dont want to sound like anti catholic but
catholics are suppose to be caring loving people
who are selfless
but thats not what i see when i look at some of my catholic friends

am i being tricked to go back to satan
what the hell is wrong with me
idk if this helps but my parents are buddahist
