I'm Christian, this has been one of two questions that I'm not sure how to understand yet. It would be easier to understand if we chose to live this life, but we really didn't ask for it. The other would be why God allows unequal opportunity to come to know God, i.e. some grow up in atheistic worldviews making it not impossible, but harder to seek and understand God, while some are born into a Christian household.

Please only people with a mature faith who know what they are talking about like William D or Kait or someone.

If Christians are Gods chosen followers and the "moral" people why is it that more NON religious doctors give to charity (Study by Uni of Chicago), Atheists have LOWER divorce rates, and Christians have WAY higher prison rates??

If we Atheists are supposed to be the heretics and immoral people in this country, why is that on countless studies it shows we are nicer, more giving, and generally smarter people??

Does GOD want you to take a hint??

whom I seldom see nor talk to except my holiday card once a year. They were really nice and helpful in the past. They never acknowledge my holiday cards. So I feel like not writing anymore and let them go. Am I doing the right thing ? What do your think ? I'll go by what the majority of you say.

When you talk to people who tell you that God or Jesus will soon cause widespread natural disasters which will kill most of the people on the earth, do you sense ill-will on their part? Are they actually wishing that God will do that to so many people?
Are you afraid when you talk with them, because you think that if they sense you don't agree with their theology, you might be in physical danger from them?
Frankly, the people who talk that way give me the creeps.

The article below from CNN just broke my heart. Overlook the Hilary Clinton stuff - she's a very polarizing character - but read about this woman in Saudi Arabia. Recently, I've been rather embarrased of the action of my country, but look at what some others condone! It honestly makes me sick that any human being could think this is right.

Recently mothers across the nation decided it was time to change santas looks. He has been setting a bad example to children because he's fat and eats lotas of cookies. They are urging mothers to portray a leaner santa and leave him celery and carrot sticks. What is our society coming to when tradition cna culture needs to be changed because children have become weak? Where do we draw the line?

Country on the planet if not for GOD?

And why has the USA been going down the tubes, ever since secularism, the ACLU and people wanting to take GOD out of every
facet of public life?

Why were we stronger as a GOD fearing nation? if Secularism and Atheism is better for a country we are we going down as a country?

I'm wondering if Pro-Life Christians only consider it murder if the embryo is inside the uterus.

For example, suppose a woman has her fertilized embryo frozen. Would you consider it murder if she later changes her mind and chooses not to have the embryo implanted? (Assume that if she doesn't carry the fertilized embryo, it is not destroyed, but rather left to survive on its own, which it won't.)

My buddy and I are going on a trip next week (he's gay and I'm bi leaning gay) but he lives with another dude currently.
We have a very good mutual female friend in common and she relayed this absolutely silly story about me and my buddy taking a business trip and how my buddy is going to miss his man so much, he's never been away from him this long, what will he do without me, blah, blah, blah. I say awwwww isnt that sweet and then it happened.
The mutual friend looks me in the eye and says " your both full of s**t, what the f**k are the 2 of you up to"? I'm gonna tell _______ the truth, he doesnt deserve this.
I'm sure I got caught like a deer in the headlights because I'm not up to anything, if something happens great and if not that's ok too so I told her this and she just stormed off.
What do I do now?

theory suggests that individuals are "playing a role" and that really there is no such thing as hypnosis. A relationship is built depending on how much rapport has been established between the "hypnotist" and the subject. Could this be the same as a vicar and a congregation, each person "plays along" through subconcious peer pressure?
Generally, during the communication process people can become more receptive to suggestion, causing changes in the way they feel, think, and behave. Some psychologists such as Robert Baker claim that what we call hypnosis is actually a form of learned social behavior, a complex hybrid of social 1.compliance,
2.relaxation,
3.suggestibility that can account for many esoteric behavioral manifestations

I've found God today, he spoke to me, and told me that only people with the following adjectives will make it into heaven:
brown eyed, brown haired men, with engineering degrees, who are also browns fans, and who own red 1997 cadillac eldorados are going to heaven....how's that for a narrow road?

I'm going to heaven, yippeee

wait, that means I have to live forever. Oh well, I better get started playing guitar hero...
