That out of nowhere a earth, planets, air, people, stars including the sun, animals, and other things just "popped" into the universe. That noone created all this. How can "nothing" create something?(or how can there be nothingness and all of asudden something?) How can this all be here without a creator? Everything has a creator so how can the earth itself not have a creator? how can there just be empty space. There had to have a been some type of being in the empty space to have created the earth? If there is no God what is the point of human kind, animals, and the earth? Why would there be no point to live?

Why do people think Allah and God are totally diffrent?
Allah is just the Arabic word for God
Yhwh is the name for God for Jews.
and God is for christians xD

We all have the same god, but we all have a diffrent view of god is all.

Racism are prejudices against other nationalities or people that do not share the same belief or culture that we have grown up with and that has been passed on to us through our family.

He promisses to destroy all wickedness & that includes all religions even those who call themselves christian
(Matthew 7:21-23) 21 “Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the kingdom of the heavens, but the one doing the will of my Father who is in the heavens will. 22 Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ 23 And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness.

These are PROFFESSED CHRIISTIANS , then there are many others, all described as a Harlot in Rev cha 17, They have whored themselves to the governments.

(James 4:4-6) 4 Adulteresses, do YOU not know that the friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever, therefore, wants to be a friend of the world is constituting himself an enemy of God.

Christianity has pretty much died out in the now secular UK, we're now the 4th least religious nation on Earth.
This has caused many changes in society, some for better and some for worse. This question addresses the things we've lost, rather than what we have gained.

Here's the biggest things I can think of-

1) Since most people don't congrigate in church anymore, they don't need to associate with neighbours who they share very little in common with. Without these forced social gatherings, the sense of community has been damaged. Can this be replaced?

2) Prayer is often the practice of holding other people in your thoughts, which itself is an exercise in empathy. Is it possible to replace this forced empathy which encourages people to feel sympathy for others?

3) Not everyone agrees with the law, but religion teaches shared views of morality. Television (ie soap operas) dishes out the fables nowadays, is this a viable alternative? What about when the Internet has destroyed TV?

My grandad used to be a vicar, and i was baptised and i was confirmed about a year ago. I would like to be a better christian. I dont attend church every sunday because the rest of the family i live with arnt very religious, i dont really think they notice that i am actually quite commited to Christianity.
I do wear a necklace with the cross on it nearly every day, prey every night, and sometimes read the bible.
I also try not to waste things like food and try to be more greatfull for the things i have.
How else could i become a better christian.
I should be hopefully attending church on Christmas eve.

Before I start, I want to assure everyone that I'm not anti-American at all, and that this question is based on curiosity.

I've heard a lot of Americans talking about the freedoms they have as an American, and some who seem to think that the US is the only with those freedoms. Are there any freedoms that the US has that the UK, Canada, and Australia, for instance, don't have? Please try to answer in a tolerant way.

Psamls 14:1 says -only a fool has said in his heart there is no God!!

How coudl you'll not?? Everything that surrounds us is clear proof that a higher Supreme is over man!!

Think about computers,tree,ipods,the sun the moon,the stars,anilmal,cats,dogs,cars..etc

There must've been someone to create those things.NO, it wasn't a man who created them ...somone created a man...and someone created the thoughts in a man to bring about inventions like the car and ipod!

I would like to create a newsletter for the youth at my church. I will be asking them for some ideas of what to name it, but thought I would see what you thought as well (in case their creative juices aren't flowing).
Of course. 10 Points for the very best!

Please respond after reading this article that I wrote --

(And, yes, I *did* do exactly what I said in the article. It's one way to oppose moronic extremism.)

Two other things -- IF you can't seem to return here from there the usual way, just click *rapidly* on the Back button. And, in case there are any trolls out and about who think that my linking to my article is "solicitation" -- you would be wrong! It's a totally NON-commercial site.

I was chatting with my Jewish friend.
she said for Hanakuah, they are killing a cow to eat or something.
Without painkillers, meaning the animal would feel the pain.
I asked why cound't give it some painkillers.
It's kosher law to slit the throat of the animal and let the blood drain out while the animal is still alive.
Sad D:

So is this true?
any jewish people, do you guys do the same?

Why do people think we focus on guilt so much? Why does it anger people that Catholics set high standards for living? Born and raised Catholic, I dont understand this. I just watched vespers from St. Peters and heard the pope speak (this is what got me thinking about this...) he said something I really liked, "each child born is a sign of God's faith in man."
What do you all think about that quote in relation to the question?

I'm friendly with my neighbors in my apartment building. I was on my way back from the mailboxes and my neighbor was just coming in the building, he smelled my cooking of beef stew and barged in asking for a bowl, I like the guy and gave him a bowl, after finished he proclaimed it was delicious and thanked me and we chatted for a few more minutes then he left for his own apartment.

I felt it was a bit forward but I enjoy chatting with the guy otherwise. He has made a few passes at me in the hallway but he has a girlfriend.
