Lee Strobel was an atheist. He also was a journalist. He set out to disprove christianity and eventually decided to become a christian. Anyway in The Case For Faith, he writes about what he calls the eight "heart" barriers to faith. To summarize, 1) If there is a Loving God why is there suffering? 2) If miracles contradict science, how can a rational person believe? 3) If God is morally pure, How can he sanction the slaughter of innocent children in the OT? 4) If Jesus is the only way, what about people that have never heard of Him? 5) If God cares about people, how could he let them go to hell? 6) If God is the ultimate overseer of the chruch, why has it been rife with hypocrisy and brutality throughout the ages? 7)If God really created the universe, why does the evidence of science compel so many towards evolution? 8) If I'm still plagued by doubts, then is it still possible to be a christian? Wndering if any atheists have read this book, and what they thought about it.

I was off the clock at my former job, I was speaking to fellow Christians about Bibical things: (all sin is selfish and thus when we sin we are leading a selfish lifestlye, and I was trying to explain this in an understanding way). A lady sat next to us on the otherside of a divider, so she saw and heard us talking. She had her children infront of her, and mid-way through my sentence I hear "EXCUSE ME! Can you please shut up, so I can eat in peace?" What made her not have peace, and why did she sit next to us, when she could have easily move. Needless to say I said, "I'm sorry" then I addressed my friends "Hey guys want to move over there?" We ended the conversation, but my question is, why are things in life like this, why is everything so hateful? Why can't I talk about what I believe without strangers listening? And why can't you eat in peace only if a Christian were talking? If a Muslim were next to me I actually would be interested in what they had to say, not offended!?

I'm just a regular country bumpkin. I tried living in a city once and couldn't handle it. Too many people, too close. I like plenty of elbow room!

THIS QUESTION WAS REMOVED SO I LOST ALL YOUR ANSWERS I hope you can answer again so I can learn something about the Muslim Religion Thanks

(1) I am Jewish but my family is not very religious so as far as Muslims, I dont know much. I really dont know the difference between the two and if there are other versions of Muslim Religion please tell me.
(2) As far as "do they not like each other" I have fuzzy information about Shea & Sunni fighting each other in Iraq?? I do not mean to be critical or anti-Muslim by asking this.

Thank You!!

I was talking with a gentleman today that told me quite a horror story about an adopted girl that accused him of molestation. They took the three girls out of the home and basically cleaned him out financially. There is no way that this guy was a Pedofile.

I don't say that because I think I know, it is a cold hard fact and it was proven he was innocent.

Is Social Service praying on children as a means to tap into our money?

Do they have too much power?

Has anyone had a calling and after some circumstances came your way, you walked away from that calling for a time (5.5 years) only to wake up and realize that you have been living in misery because you forgot? I feel like I have been living in rebellion....if not, please do not reply.

I'm not talking about being nicer than usual, I'm talking about giving to charity, visiting nursing homes, inviting lonely college students to dinner, etc. I've done benevolence and volunteer work for years. At Christmas people are falling over each other to help; then the rest of the year--poof! They vanish, but the sick, lonely, and hungry still need help. What would it take to get people to spread the love around a little more?

Very few times have I been able to tell the difference in a $12 cut vs more expensive. My daughter has a friend who comes to my house and cuts mine. I give her $20. My husband gets a haircut monthly and he goes to the shop where a friends wife works. He also pays $20. The cuts are $12 and since he knows Margret he tips her well.
Am I just cheap or do you think it is a case of you get what you pay for...
