Will you please pray for my family?
My husband and I have recently adopted our fourth child (we have two biological children and two adopted children :D) and we're very excited. Is it at all possible that you could keep my family in your prayers? If it's possible, can you also pray for my parents? I lost them in March in a terrible car accident and they weren't alive to see my children born/taken home. I'm very sad and I pray for my family & friends each night and I know this may be a lot to ask; praying for people you don't even know...but please. Please, please! Thank you so much!

I'm always finding pumpkin pie recipes with pumpkin puree, but that's too much work, so I would like a recipe with just canned pumpkin of some kind, please.

Everyone always says that I can't do certain things because I am too arrogant. But I don't know why they think that. Is it the things I say or the things I do? What do you think?

Can you name one morally virtuous act that could only be motivated by a religious person and not a non-believer?

On the other side, can you name one morally reprehensible act that could ONLY be motivated by religious belief?

My guess is that you cannot come up with one example for the first question, but can come up with many for the second.

I'm a Christian and have been for many years. I have chosen to be alone until God sends the right man for me. I want a christian man who believes in God too. Worldly men want you in the sack fast and if you don't their off like the road runner. Just my experience, i know all men are "not" like that!!!
Anyway, a few months ago i met a nice guy. I can't believe it really he is pretty much what i'm after but, he isn't born again. He is a believer a Catholic.
We have been seeing each other once a week and last week he wanted to kiss me and i said no, that i'm not ready.
I have told him i'm a christian and christians don't get physical till marriage and spoken like a true worldly man, he said.. 'Sex is healthy and it's a sign 2 people are attracted to each other'. I explaned my side. I thought he would never call again after i told him no Physical stuff, but he did!.
Christains, what do you think i should do with this guy? Do you think i should stop seeing him, or keep seeing him??

As I read the clearly-marked "AM" and "VT" responses in R&S, I find an eery cult-like consistency among the responses. And I'm not talking about answers that consistently reflect a thoroughly vetted philosophy, but rather a consistent use of keywords that express a simplistic idea. So is there some sort of underground cult meeting place where atheists agree upon certain keywords while chanting above a bust of Charles Darwin? Or is atheism just some sort of low-level pavlovian response to religion that invokes identical responses?

Then we define a day as now?

Could you back up your beliefs with Biblical quotes (wow, I almost never ask for those!) as well as your own reasoning on the subject? Did the antediluvian people live in time separated by days & hours? Knowledge of ancient calendars would be a plus here as well. This is not a subject I know a great deal about and I'd love to hear what you all think and know about it and perhaps learn something new.

For my non-Christian friends, this is a religious question aimed at Christians for the most part but, like myself, I know many of you have read the Bible and formed your own opinions on the subject. What did you interpret the Bible as saying about the length of days? Did you feel it was clarified or contradicted throughout the rest of your reading? Please give examples too of how ancient calendars and ideas add to or take from your belief.

I understand why days are as they are today. This is a question about the past. Thank you for your answer!

Is this idea found in the Bible, or did it come from the freethinkers of the Enlightenment? Please cite specific authors and works, or chapter and verse.

Do you like it, or loathe it, or are you just indifferent to it?

Jesus has just given his judgment. There are now two groups before you: 1) those that Jehovah (YHVH) will allow into Heaven and 2) those that Jehovah won't allow into Heaven.

He has left the responsibility of deciding where they will go to you.

Obviously, you decide that all those who may enter Heaven, will go to Heaven. They have been forgiven, so you count on Jesus' judgment of them.

Now you are left with those that aren't allowed in Heaven. Obviously, you can't send them to Heaven. It's already been denied to them. But you find that, contrary to everything you thought you knew, you have two more options left to you: you can 1) send them to a place of eternal torment or 2) have Jehovah completely erase them from existence.

For many this is an easy decision, but I know some of you will have difficulty with this because, as far as you're concerned, IT'S EITHER HEAVEN OR TORMENT. I understand this, but it would be great if you tried anyway.

Here's my question:

What do you decide?

I noticed how high pitched some people's voices are, recently. I think the American accent makes their voice even more high pitched?

Does faith require any arguments or explanations?

Many Creationists are constantly intent on disproving Evolution, by means of prefabricated arguments, like "If we evolved from monkeys..." or "We're yet to see those transitional fossils"...

Science measures the data provided by reality and facts...it's your problem whether you want to believe it or not.

Science is not trying to disprove religion, religion disproves itself with its own load of absurdities.

So keep the faith....or accept the facts, but don't even try to dream that your minds can even faintly entertain the thought that "faith" can disprove facts with "arguments"....
