Or will it happen after Judgment Day, and until then, all the dead souls are held in a timeless dimension (purgatory)?

I'm genuinely interested in answers to this. Why are believers in a god prepared to believe in a god? Is there a reason you are prepared to believe in something that can never be proven in this life? Was there a specific incident that caused you to believe or were you just raised to believe? Have you ever questioned your belief or is it something you just accept?

I think it's so awesome that our world is starting to switch up things n starting to dating people out of their nationality. I've always been curious though, why do white guys really like us African-American girls? I've heard it's because of our bodies n we know how to stand up for ourselves, but I know thats gotta be a HUGE lie because from my point of view you fall in love with someone for who they TRULY are n not just for their apperance or their race or how light or dark their complextion is.

Thanks!

You tell me that god is loving and helps if you accept him into your heart and pray. Correct????

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THOSE LITTLE CHILDREN IN AFRICA WHO ARE DYING EVERYDAY BY THE THOUSANDS BECAUSE OF HUNGER, DISEASE, NO MEDICATION, NO HEALTHCARE, AND NO CLEAN WATER. OH BY THE WAY THOSE CHILDREN ARE CHRISTIANS WHO PRAY ALL THE TIME.

maybe you should turn off MTV for a while and see what happens to people in the world, whom god neglected, before you praise him everyday for the wonderful food you worked hard to earn.

Christian bookshops are refusing to stock copies of a new Bible study guide that challenges standard New Testament translations that describe gay sex as sinful.

A US distributor, God’s Word to Women, has banned the Australian publication, and withdrawn another Bible translation published by the same NSW publishing house, Smith and Stirling, for promoting a lifestyle in contradiction of the scriptures
1 Corinthians 6:9 and Timothy 1:10 Paul sets out examples of Jewish law including admonitions against fornication, idolatry and drunkenness, as well as the much disputed word “arsenokoites” which has been taken to mean homosexuality.

But in her study guide, Dr Nyland says the word has been wrongly assumed to mean homosexual.
The reference in Romans, and the story of Sodom and Gomorrah, were about angels having sex with humans, and not about homosexual acts
Satan in the Church again??

From the error and default messages I am receiving I cant send or receive email unless I allow others to email me on my profile - is this another bright idea of Yahoos? So the way Yahoo thinks is we accept all the hate mail and death threats sent to us or we arent allowed to use Yahoo email? What a crock that is -

I just placed my yearly Victoria's Secret Christmas order, as I do every year, requested gift boxes, as I do every year also. This year, the boxes didn't arrive with my order. When I called Customer Service, they explained that they now charge $3 per box. Chinsy and cheap, in my opinion. I probably won't continue to shop there because of the incident.. who else thinks it's absurd to charge for boxes at Christmas?

This "person" answered a question on sex like this:

"Check out 1Corinthians. Paul had a problem with sex. He was probably a closet homosexual."

How "illogical". Will this person ALSO say that homosexuality was a "problem" ? Or will they...lie?

My grandmother will be 65 3/08, and we're getting info about Medicare. I handle these things for her, and took the intro book home to read. Honestly, I don't know where to begin! Part A, Part B, Part C, Part D, Med Advantage vs Med Orginal...OMG! She does currently have a healthcare plan, which I know she'll need to keep after signing up with Medicare. I will be speaking with a Medicare specialist, not til next week, so, I'd love to hear any experienced voices with this! What is the first step in deciding what to do? My gram and I appreciate the feedback, folks!

I find this, in my face, suffering propaganda depressing and frankly morbid.
The first time I saw a christ on the cross I was 4 and I was really scared. Catholics are really good with all the gory details. And "The Passion" jesus freaking christ that was awful, now wonder there is so much mental illness associated with religion.

Well in my infinite goodness here is the definition:

Intensive, forcible indoctrination, usually political or religious, aimed at destroying a person's basic convictions and attitudes and replacing them with an alternative set of fixed beliefs.
The application of a concentrated means of persuasion, such as an advertising campaign or repeated suggestion, in order to develop a specific belief or motivation.

Yep it sounds like Christianity to me.

Some folks just moved a HUGE double wide in across the street from my place. They were out there when the first section was brought in. It almost turned over as they were trying to get it over the curb. This lady was praying every foot of the way, asking Jesus not to let her new mod. home get destroyed. My question is: since the deity she believes in doesn't take the time to heal people dying from diseases, or give amputee's their limbs back, why in the world would she think that her cheap trailor would be worthy of divine intervention? Yes, she was serious!

wouldn't you be considered an abusive parent?

If God is the Almighty Father of all of us, shouldn't he be more protective? If you knew your son in law was abusing your grandchild, would you intervene? I would. God doesn't.

If you knew your son was on crack cocaine, would you get him help? I would. God wouldn't.

If you knew your daughter was out on the streets cold and hungry and lost and confused, would you help her? I would. God would let her find her own way.

So don't tell me we are all children of The Almighty Father because if we followed his example of raising his children, we would have a bigger mess than we already do WITHOUT his help.

I don't want any help from God, heis parenting skills suck.

Is it possible for a person to practise both Roman Catholicism and Buddhism? Please note there is no god in Buddhism and we do not worship idols. They are used as meditation tools.

I am Buddhist, but for some reason, have found myself drawn to Roman Catholicism lately as well.
