I am serious. This is not a joke. Reading the Bible when you are high is amazing.

Why can't some christians just let the atheist alone? The muslims, jews, pagens, etc. Don't you somewhere in the recesses of you mind hear a voice saying that perhaps somebody else can be right too? I mean we're all human and therefore all of us make mistakes. Do you believe maybe more people would believe if we stopped trying to force feed them our beliefs and actually try to co-exist peacefully?

What is a huge regret that you have that you simply can't do anything about fixing? (A mistake you made in the past)

I'll go first. I used to work at a psychic hot line reading tarot cards. One night this 76 year old man called in. He had just lost one of his legs due to diabetes. He had no living family left, no friends, no support system to speak of. He was scared and very lonely. He was eating cat food cause it was cheaper than regular food and his landlord had put an eviction notice on his door. He wanted to know his future.

Like the dutiful employee I was, I keep this man on the phone with me for 59 minutes, the maximum allowable call for a 900 number according to federal regulations. We charged $4.95 a minute for that phone call.
When I hung up the phone, I put my face in my hands and cried. My boss gave me a raise because my call average went up so high. I quit that job a couple of weeks later because the guilt got to me.

It says in the Bible that Jesus was his only begotten son.
Also Jesus never says he IS God, he always refers to him as his father. So why do some of us insist that he was God? Is there a particualr reason or passage, or is this what you were taught? If you do why do you stand by it when Jesus says in the Bible himself that he is NOT God, but his son? Does it make you feel more comfortable with the idea of his sacrifice? Really, I just don't get it, which is fairly obvious.
I'm just curious as to the reason for this, that's all.

An article in Reader’s Digest ‘Almanac’, year book 1986, gave the statistics of the increase of percentage of the major religions of the world in half a century from 1934 to 1984. This article also appeared in ‘The Plain Truth’ magazine. At the top was Islam, which increased by 235 percent, while Christianity had increased only by a mere 47 percent. May one ask, which war took place in this century which converted millions of people to Islam?

or is the hate just for God-believers...or is it the idea of God that you hate? i just wanna try and understand your viewpoint. As a believer i would appreciate if you could do this without making derogatory comments about God. If He doesnt exist for you then you wont need to use Him to back your view up. But your welcome to say what ya like about me or us believers

thanking you

Why does the Catholic Bible contain 73 books while the Protestant Bible has only 66? With both claiming to have the complete Word of God, which one should be believed and why?

THE LORD'S PRAYER....

Do you think it would be wrong of me to post the Lord's Prayer on a Muslim/Islamic Forum?
This is a debate that has been created in our school forum.
Any information would be appreciated....
Thank You...

Why does the Bible say that Jesus wanted to die on the cross, when the one on the cross was shouting "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" according to Matthew 27:45 and Mark 15:33?

How do your religious beliefs or lack of religious beliefs affect your political positions?
How do they correlate?

Age of Aries : sacrifice of Abraham's Ram.
Moses condemns his own people upon finding them worshiping a 'golden calf' (a symbol of the previous age of Taurus and of the worship of the bull deity)

Age of Pisces : Jesus Christ
two fishes swimming in opposite directions, connected by a line joining each of their mouths.
Christian community being both fisher and fish within Christian responsibility

and now..
Age of Aquarius : "Christ Consciousness"
marks the time when the collective consciousness of Mankind will be elevated and the esoteric knowledge of God will be made available to all humankind.

but how could Buddha and Muhammad not mentioned ?
they both have great influence in this world.. the astrology must have shown something at least.. (positive or negative)

rather than "Merry Christmas" this Christmas Season?

I for one always wish people a Merry Christmas. They can wish me back whatever they want as well. I don't get real offended by people wishing me well in their beliefs. Your thoughts?

whats so good about guiding your life by means of blind faith which proves nothing?

while it may make one feel good why live your only life as a slave to foolish ideologies?
