I use to think no but then i saw these verses, and now I don't know. Don't just say it's the outward sign of belief unless you can explain these verses.
Acts 2:38
38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." (John 3:5)
"And he said unto them (His Apostles), Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (Mark 16:15-16)
Colossians 2:12
12having been buried with him in baptism and raised with him through your faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.
Galatians 3:27
27for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.
and there are many more then that.

How can they expect respect from students, parents, the school board, or etc, if they themselves don't respect them as well? Respect works on a two way street. You respect them and they respect you.

Where I live NO-ONE cares about that. Religion is a personal choice! It shouldn't matter one way or another.

I think Mr. Romney is a very good man, and his morals will be a refreshing change in Washington. As a Christian, do you think being a Mormon goes against your Christian values at all, or would his exemplary life be a good role model for young americans?

We all really appreciate the more popular names like Moses and Abraham, David, Samuel, John the Baptist, Paul, Peter etc. But what of the ones that do not have as well known names or even no names at all. Such ones as the old lady Anna or Simeon who both knew that the Lord Jesus, even as a babe was the Savior of the World.
Please share today...and refresh our memories of all those who made their small mark.
Ty all for taking the time to respond

Where I live, everyone believes in God. Even the ones that don't go to church. On Friday, I told one of my supervisors that I'm an atheist. She looked at me with pure shock in her eyes, paused for a few moments, and then started stammering, "Oh, well, that's okay, I knew somebody like that once." As if I have a disability or something, lol.
I'm still new to atheism and have only started to tell people in my real life recently that I am one.
What have your experiences been like?

When my mom found out I am a lesbian she freaked out. She kicked me out of the house when I was only 15. Then I guess she started doing drugs and stealing money from my brother to buy the drugs. She has now been through rehab and is in therapy. She is now begging for both me and my brothers forgiveness and she wants back in our lives. I want to have a mom again but im afraid she will leave again. Should I forgive her or will I only be setting myself up for more disappointments?

Forgive "them", for they know not, is before the cross.
After the cross it seems to be destroy "them" all,
with Noahic & Sodomic type destruction... iff
one like the Son of man should come again,
for vengeance (is not merciful) on them all.
So top up faith with "charity never faileth",
cause "charity thinketh no evil" to forgive;
and charity is above "forgiving one another";
to be put on "above" endless err and forgive.
What are your thoughts on endless error & forgive?
Adults priding themselves on being "children" of God?
On "children" being tossed to and fro by winds(spirits)?
On "know not"s: children and servants "differ nothing"?
Why did God say: let us make "MAN" (not child)?
Why did JC say: thou art no more a servant (slave)?
Why did Paul put away child things when man kind?
Why did Paul say: "be no more children": Eph 4:14?
Why is the Lord longsuffering to us-ward, not them-ward?
Why does destruction come on them, not us: 1Thess 5:3,9?

And most Muslems only accept other Muslems...
A TEDDY is loved by everyone, and as Mohamed is supposed to be PEACEFULL and LOVING..... WHATS THE PROBLEM ???

Since man cannot pro-create he will die out upon his death?.
The first of all species on Earth must, of necessity, been self procreating - that means only one inarguable specy - female.
That means, does it not,(if the Bible is to be believed of even one single word) that God, who made the species after "HERSELF" must, also, have been a self procreating female of the species(and ALL species).
God(SHE) had already made the species to populate Earth in her name and had given dominion over all of the earth and the creatures upon it. On the second day(25million years) after she had set her spawn upon the face of the earth she saw that certain of her spawn were "laying down" with her kind and an intercourse of sorts was taking place. God questioned her spawn asking - is it your desire to lay down with your own kind which I have placed upon the Earth to recreate and populate the Earth ?. The answer came - We would have a partner to lay with us and help us to enjoy this work which you hav

A police officer came upon a terrible wreck where the driver and passenger had been killed. As he looked upon the wreckage a little monkey came out of the brush and hopped around the crashed car.
The officer looked down at the monkey and said "I wish you could talk."
The monkey looked up at the officer and shook his head up and down. "You can understand what I'm saying?" asked the officer.
Again, the monkey shook his head up and down. "Well, did you see this?"
"Yes," motioned the monkey.
"What happened?"
The monkey pretended to have a can in his hand and turned it up by his mouth.
"They were drinking?" asked the officer.
The monkey shakes his head "Yes."
"What else?" The monkey pinched his fingers together and held them to his mouth.
"They were smoking marijuana?"
The monkey shakes his head "Yes."
"What else?" The monkey motioned "kissing."
"They were kissing, too?" asked the astounded officer.
The monkey shakes his head "Yes."
"Now wait, you're saying your owners were drinking, smoking and kissing before they wrecked."
The monkey shakes his head "Yes."
"What were you doing during all this?"
"Driving" motioned the monkey.

I just finished re-reading "Frankenstein" and it got me thinking.
We have all known parents who are narcissistic monsters, who try to force their children to be something they are not. This usually ends badly for everybody concerned. When genetically engineered “designer babies” are available, will their designers fare any better than the hapless Victor Frankenstein?
