satan does the demanding not God. If you do anything sinful you have to do more and more and spend more and more money to satisfy your desires. God's love and gifts are free.

Why won't you receive them?

And the planet really does need saving. You get the newspaper, you hear the news, there are so many things man cannot solve from how to handle more earthquakes to melting polar ice caps to lack of a way to feed everyone. Is it really really wise to just sit around saying "there is no God there is no God?" Wow I"m glad there is a God and he's coming to take us to a new heaven and earth. Thing is we have to do it his way this time so as not to destroy the new one. That's not hard is it? Can't you just ask Jesus into your heart? Is it really that hard? If so why? Doesn't your determination not to believe make you realize there MUST be a devil fighting for your soul? Can't you see that? I pray you do.

...always wear the most expensive clothes, have a big house and have a more expensive new car than the people he's taking money from? Doesn't that go against the basic principals of religion? Why isn't that money going towards helping people in need, he doesn't need the "high life"?

He is lovingly and meekly allowing peope he died for to remove him, from their lives, from the classroom, from the government. And did you realize as you destroy him and take his name in vain and make fun of him.....he still really does love you? and he will prove it to you as well? amazing, don't you think?

He supposedly demades that sending 80% of all living humans alive today to some firey eternity because we do not choose to follow a book that makes no sense.

Or He demands that we go to this fiery place because we do not see any evidence on this planet that He exits.

We know that it is not okay to kill our kids for cursing us. We know that it is not okay to sell our sister into slavery, we know that is not okay for force a rape victim to marry her rapist.

We know that there is no possible that the earth could flood over Mt Everest.



If it is so important to God that we stroke His ego and sing Him praises, why has HE not let us all know once and for all.???


"Hey here I am. I want to live as Jesus taught you, love one another as I have loved you."

Can you imagine what he thinks of our mental abilities if we accept nonsense as facts?

Why can't "Islam" be seen by non-muslims as how we muslims see it?
•The peaceful and gentle Islam.
• We are not radical.
• We do not support terrorism.
• We believe in human rights.
• Muhammad was a good man, who did righteousness.
• Muhammad (pbuh) Didn't wage war against people who were non muslim for the simple fact that they were non muslim, as quoted by a sahih hadeeth, the prophet (pbuh said, whoever hurts a non muslim, is like he is hurting me.
• The prophet Muhammad didn't rape, or have sex with Aisha R.A when she was 6 or 9 years old. She was offered marriage to him, by her father Omar R.A, because he knew Prophet pbuh was a good man, and could protect her ( his family) for the sake of life*.
• ALLAH SWT is our one true, mono theistic God, and we associate nothing with ALLAH SWT.

In sudden recognition

or in awareness that has moved carefully and quietly, until it taps you on the shoulder?

that you have been here before, and they have been here before, and although there are no sufficient words,

do you welcome Old Souls returning?

I grew up in a religious family and I always hear things about being with God, salvation, day of judgement, praying, and how obsessing with religion is the only way to 'not stray from the right path'.

But over the years I re-thought everything and realize that God's divine will and whatever it is that the Higher Power has planned, isn't going to change for each and everyone of us despite prayers, rituals, whatever it is that everybody does.

The more I worry about it, the more it drives me insane. Feels like I should just live my life a day at a time, to the best that I can, and be a good person.

Sometimes my body is curvy sometimes it's not. I think it's because of my prayer because sometimes I feel forced to pray for things I don't want. Last Saturday my neighbor said to me "You have a good body. Small waist and big hips" But yesterday my mother's friend said my body isn't like a coke bottle because my hips aren't big enough and my waist isn't small enough. How could my body have changed that quickly in only a few days? That must have been a miracle. Why last week people told me my body is like a coke bottle but yesterday somebody said my body isn't? It must have been a miracle. I don't believe in the God of the Bible- I believe in another supernatural force that answers prayer no matter what. It's strange. I tested the power of this prayer a month ago. A 3 year old boy was walking by. I prayed my friend would think he's 15. I asked my friend "How old do u think he is?" He said "15" Wow that little boy certainly wasn't 15! That must have been a miracle. What do you think?

Yes, yes, I know sometimes it's hard to even find here sometimes, but seriously, is it not truly ridiculous to belive that there isn't? How much do you believe that religion interferes with with the scientific study of this? Or does it further it?

the biggest sacrifice i think is Moses giving up the last forties years of LIFE because God said So .....sacrificing everyday hardship and adversity for FORTY YEARS in the desert....and even though He wasnt permited in the promise land God let him see the promise land before He died.

John 8: A woman was accused of adultery, and was going to be punished by stoning. Jesus said: "If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her."

Actually one person did throw a stone at her (This line was deleted from the Bible). Who was that person? Ten points for the first correct answer.

it happens all the time, but scientifically childbirth is an amazing thing. We cant explain how we get from these chromosomes and eggs( we know the process) to form into other humans, like where the bones came from and the veins and the heart.
It was one of the main reasons why this one big Athesist- Flu( name) started beliving in God. But maybe it can be explained later in the future, but right now, its a pretty cool thing, scientificaly....Child Birth is trully a Miracle

I was OPEN-MINDEDLY curious about the islam religion and was looking up things about them and I have found a website where these muslims (not terrorists, a muslim family who runs a bakery wrote this page for other muslims to study through) And they called us devil caucasians, and the reasons (as best I can gather it) is because we stole the land from the native americans and are all selfish and evil and greedy. My problem is, Muslims in america are mostly african-americans and people from the middle east, I didn't even know native americans had anything to do with the muslims, and if not, why do they hate white people for it? It's not any of their business... and not all white people are selfish, evil and greedy, and even if that were true, I bet you could find just as many in the muslim community. And don't come spouting anti-islam sentiments, because I am completely against that, no matter what relinion color etc., I am open minded. I'll post the website link in the next block.
