I cannot find anything in the bible which states her death and ressurection or ascencion into heaven. Is the Assumption implying that Mary translated into heaven like Enoch and Elijah?

Obviously there are instances where God interferes with human's lives and their free will.

i think God is very upset, because of this. He gave reason to all of us, and he gave salvation only to those who give up sin, not to those who take pills.

and besides, one cannot say that the psychologists etc are inocent people empowered to give advise..

Please don't direct your answers at me, its not personal.
A lady realizes she's become pregnant due 1 night she was sexually assaulted. She doesn't find out until 3 mons later, b/c everything was normal until then. She's single, but was in the process of starting a new relationship. Since she's found out she's with child, should she a) pursue the relationship and hope for understanding, but also risk being rejected; b) just forget about the relationship and focus on her developing fetus; c) put off the relationship, give the child up for adoption and then pursue her relationship, or d) hope its not too late for an abortion?

If there are other options please add.

, and considering that there is just as much factual proof to support radical Islam as there is to support radical environmentalism, and then considering both have the same agenda, the destruction of America, its freedoms, and its people’s way of life, then why do we tolerate the environmentalist pushing their religion into our schools, upon our children?

Why would God give instructions for the littlest things like what to eat and what one can and cannot do during the sabath and yet did not bother to condemn slavery as a matter of fact instructed people on how to treat slaves. He said it's ok to beat them as long as they can get up in a few days.

Exodus 21
20 "If a man beats his male or female slave with a rod and the slave dies as a direct result, he must be punished, 21 but he is not to be punished if the slave gets up after a day or two, since the slave is his property. . ..

Jesus said nothing about it. don't tell me it was the time. God doesn't have to wait for the right time to do anything.

There is no God.

I'm not an atheist, but personally, I refuse to believe that anybody goes to Hell. I think that the bible talking about Hell is just something made up to scare humans into worshipping God. And as for those near-death experiences where people claimed they've been in Hell(Bill Wiese, for example), I believe that yes, Hell may be real and he may have really been there, but I think God was just scaring Him and those "people" who he seen, I think either God made him believe those were people or they were fallen angels who shape-shift into suffering people. I refuse to believe that a "loving" God would just let someone be tormented in Hell forever without end and without hope. If they are in Hell, I believe there must be an end to the suffering EVENTUALLY.

The most popular argument against gay marriage seems to be that it is against God, nature, and society. But isn't divorce seen as just as bad from a religious perspective? Maybe I am wrong on this, but it seems like Christians should be wanting divorce to be illegal, just like Gay marriage.

It is hard for me to understand Christian positions on marriage, so I am looking for some help here.

I was going to start this by talking about right-wing Christians, but after a little thought I realized this could apply to any religion.

Why do people think they need to impose their views on others?

Example:
Christian conservatives want to ban gay marriage and go further if they could. If they believe in God, isn't it good enough for them to think these people will burn in hell?
Why even bother? If they believe in God like they say they do, why not let him(or her or it or whatever) take care of it?

I believe in God and realized that until I fix myself (which is never) I don't have time to try to fix others. Help others, yes. But not "fix" them.

What do you think?

Alma 37:33-37
Preach unto them repentance, and faith on the Lord Jesus Christ; and to be meek and lowly in heart; teach them to withstand every temptation of the devil, with their faith on the Lord Jesus Christ.
Teach them to never be weary of good works, but to be meek and lowly in heart; for such shall find rest to their souls.
O, remember, my son, and learn wisdom in they youth; yea, learn in thy youth to keep the commandments of God.
Yea, and cry unto God for all thy support; yea, let all thy doings be unto the Lord, and whithersoever thou goest let it be in the Lord; yea, let all they thoughts be directed unto the Lord; yea let the affections of thy heart be placed upon the Lord forever.
Counsel with the Lord in all thy doings, and he will direct thee for good;
