You aren't swearing, and it's an intimate moment, so why not?

Seriously, there is loads of religions out there how can one person be sure theirs is the right one? I mean no one lived way back then so how can anyone know for sure? Is a six armed god any whackier then someone rising from the dead? How can people be so sure that the bible and other religous readings aren't just works of fiction by a creative mind? Personally, I don't believe in any one religion...I have a good heart and live a good life and when I die what happens to me happens. If "god" rejects good people because they didn't worship him their entire lives, do we really wanna spend eternity with some holy dictator anyway?

Maybe I am missing something, but for the life of me I do not understand why Christians think that Isaiah 53 is messianic.

First off I simply do not see the author saying that this chapter is talking about the messiah. The author has no hesitation in chapter 11 to say that this is what the messiah will do so why not in 53?

Second, the entire chapter is set in the past tense. He did suffer, he was broken, ect. Again comparing it to chapter 11 as well 42 (which are talking about the future) this is strange. How can you have a prophecy when you are talking about history?

Those are just two problems I have with this understanding, can anyone clarify?

The First Pillar of Islam is the testimony of faith in Allah alone, and testimony to the fact that Muhammad is his final Prophet to all mankind (and Jinn). What does this Pillar mean to you?

Can you please tell me about why you think He exists? Any proof? (Please don't say "it's what I believe so He exists in my faith" or something like that) People keep on saying "there's proof He exists," but they just ironically stop at that and doesn't state the proof. Well, I'm asking this question to know that.

I've googled it and all that shows up is questions from this site. So has the Atheist Mafia caught on outside of Y! Answers?

I cannot even answer her questions that she posts. I have a person that stalks me and is very rude in answering my questions but I can't get rid of them. I have no idea what I did to "JUST ME" and she has the power to block me. Is anyone else able to do this to other people?
It upsets me to know I have to tolerate it.

I've been a Christian for 13 years, and am so happy. Recently, some Jehovah's witnesses have been coming to my door and asking if they can talk to me. I let them set a time to come. I don't have a problem with learning what they believe. I think it's interesting to hear what different religions consist of. I'm even taking a college course on it right now. I have no interest in converting though, and the friends I've mentioned to that these ppl are coming to my house just say, "Good Luck!" I'm getting nervous now! I'm okay with talking to them, but I dont' want them persisting on me converting. I'm just afraid they're going to MAKE me... ha ha... what can I expect?

i get urges to masturbate about every other day, sometimes every other two. I enjoy the stimulation but after orgasm feel ashmed. I regret doing it but manage to repeat the action again. im not a loser. i have friends, hobbies and i used to have a girlfriend. sex doesn't control my life. it just is a part of it. the last relationship i had was about two years ago with a girl i really liked. in the end i was crushed and havn't been the same about dating since. do you think this is a possible reason why i reach towards masturbation. as a balance for the intimatacy not present in my life. and i dont see any place in the bible that says masturbate and go to hell, but why do i feel so ashmed after the action but not before?

God is a man from his feet to his hair, that's why we say "Amen" after each and every prayer?

He keeps trying to convince me the Earth's only 6,000 years old and the Bible is literal truth. NOTHING I say seems to work when he debates me. "Fossil's can't be that old. Radiocarbon dating doesn't really work. It's a lie" "Everything worked with Noah's Arc because it's a miricle" "It's perfectly logical that the population of the Earth grew from Noah's family to bilions across the globe in a few thousand years because God just created extra people. That's also why we're not ll inbred. Because God just created more people all over the globe after the flood."

It goes on and on like that all night. Does anyone have an argument that will at least shut him up?

All too often as I trawl through questions on religion, do I see anti-Christian and, I'm afraid to say, anti-Atheist remarks. It seems fruitless if both sides uselessly hammer away at each other, furthering their animosity when, in fact, the time could be spent more wisely in intelligent conversation with sympathy for the other side's beliefs. Can this be achieved or are both factions too paranoid?
