Isn't that Gnostic, the idea we are saved because of any knowledge we have?

When you are answering a question about what you believe about God, how does being rude (insulting, deriding, mocking, etc) help your audience understand you?

How does an unwillingness to question your own faith and intolerance of another man's faith help him to see your point of view?

I'm asking this of any believers, Christian, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish, etc.

If it were not for attachment to culture and traditions, sub-cultures and overly intellectualism.....wouldn't most of us all come to a common ground of Agnosticism?

Agnostics claim either that it is not possible to have absolute or certain knowledge of the existence or nonexistence of God or gods; or, alternatively, that while individual certainty may be possible, they personally have no knowledge. Agnosticism in both cases involves some form of skepticism. ~From Wikipedia

I guess liberals don't want our kids to have no moral values.

This question is ONLY for Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Muslims, Pagans, Hindus, Deists, Agnostics, Atheists and those that adhere to "no label"

Take your best guess, it's too early for "serious" queries....

Well my long time gf says she doesn’t want anything for Christmas. its her worst holiday, she says. We told each other were not getting each other nothing, I only said that cause she’s the first girlfriend to say she doesn’t want anything, kind of in shock. I want to get her something but not sure how she would take it. I’m sure she's not getting me anything cause of financial reason, she started going back to school.

I don’t care if i get anything but she's special to me and i want to show it. the only people she's getting gifts for is her family. I would feel weird if I did’nt get her anything ITS CHRISTMAS for sake

If there is a God who made God? for people that do not believe in God. You probably believe in evolution. Which I do too 100% I think God is pretty patient he waited a billion years for all this life to happen. But who bought that one tiny single cell? There has to be some sort of non-scientific answer.
But o.k lets say God was made out of this one tiny single cell. Who made that?
I tried asking a nun and priest once in who made God and they confused me.

I find this ridiculous! She had only been in the country for a month and had let the children vote on a name for the teddy bear. There were 4 children in the class called Mohammed so I don't understand why this has happened or why it is an insult to Islam. I wouldn't be insulted if they had called the bear Jesus.
What do you think?
What do others followers of Islam think? Do you think she should be flogged in public?

10 points for the first person to give me a word that is used everyday in every aspect of life. From the kitchen table to the halls of government, which you will not find in the bible. A hint is its not there for a reason, and that reason is God does not do it. He has never done it, he will never do it, and he commands his people not to do it. Even though it is now preached in churches, taught in schools, and proclaimed in every news paper as a ‘good thing’

What are your views?

Do you gracefully listen to what they have to say or do you slam the door on them?

Personally I don't normally have a problem with them.....that is until they start trying to shove THEIR religion down my throat. I've flicked though the watchtower a few times and most of what is said makes sense but the ideals mentioned are in no way dissimmilar to most, if not all, other christian religions

This is a very interesting question. Listen to how and why
it was asked. Reading is a fundamental part if life, and
even in modern day living. So of a literary behemoth, like
the BIBLE, King James Version, should as is very well
respected by many, all over the world. Scientists,
scholars, teachers, philosophers, wizards, and even
some non saints, if you know what I mean. So because
this Book is such a big influence, to inquiring minds,
spiritual minds, at most, then it is a big deal. More
popular than any other Book ever written in history.
So why is there some, who would believe otherwise.
And if you are an atheist, then do you view yourself
as odd, given the fact that you are not, for whatever
reason, a believer in things unseen ? I mean faith is
a factor, in science right. Besides, these things written,
from times past, can now be proven. Do you read the
BIBLE ? Best answer wins. ***

2. How long does light take to travel to the CLOSEST star from our sun?

I know exactly what you're thinking, but the point of this , is precisely the bottom line of your religion. How do you picture our sky, and do you have any idea regarding our macrocosm.....
