I am not a Church goer, but I do remember the days when churches and chapels were relatively full. Whether or not the Christ we were tought to believe in can stand todays micro scrutiny I do remember there was something quite special and fulfilling to be had from participating in worship and song with full congrigation in the echo of a church. Also over the centuries the Church was the source of comfort to many, and has served to raise many a heavy heart. Will I ever start going to church again? - Probably not, it's not the same somehow.

I mean, if you saved Jesus from his crucifixion would there be a Christianity religion today? Would you actually benefit the Christian religion since people like Mel Gibson, who focus more on the death and medieval sh-t would be irrelevant? Would you hurt the Christian religion since Jesus would not be a martyr and would not have raised from the dead and all that other stuff that some guy named King James said happened? What would modern day Christianity look like if the philosophy of love and peace of Jesus was focused on more than the death and torture of Jesus? Or is there already examples of Christian religion sects that are already doing this?

I grew up Catholic, so I ask this question because Catholicism is kind of messed up man. I mean, even Jesus would have to question how they teach his word and philosophy.
Please answer this question with logic and reason, but of course including your own personal religious beliefs.

Thanks

Hi there,
I'm working on a tattoo design which incorporates the sentence "alive while remembered" but I want to put in in Latin.

Anyone know what the exact translation would be?

Many thanks in advance.

is there a chance that I will ever see Satan? If I'm going to suffer for eternity, don't you think I deserve a chance to take a look at the big guy?

The Hindu government in India has banned conversion, as there were many people converting to Christianity.

This is for those of you who are Christians. If you're not don't bother answering. Don't be rude, and respect my wishes. I'm not mindless, I simply believe differently. I wish you the best.

For those of you who are Christians I was reading and watching some comments from other Christians on random issues. I found a random comment that says Sin hurts God. We hurt God? That kinda caught me off guard. Is that right? ( and please use scripture.) Sin separates us from God, and I understand that. But I've heard people say this a lot. I even remember a song that says, " does he still feel the nails every time I fail".

Personally, my current opinion is that, that is hog wash. Sin hurts us. If Jesus already died and took our sins and returned victorious then why would he "feel the nails" again? Isn't that like Moses hitting the rock twice? And, isn't more blatant that God hates sin, so sin angers him (not hurts him). BUT I could be wrong.

Why do people without real science backgrounds try to prove or disprove evolution....creation of the universe....etc.

I feel like most people with "strong opinions" just read some 3-page pamphlet or are banking on highschool science.

I have never done this before, but I have never been so desperate.

A couple days ago I made the foolish mistake of skateboarding with no shoes or protection and of course I fell. I ended up getting the expected bloody scrapes on my elbows, knee, and also a scrape on top of my right foot.

Well I disinfected with 91% iso alcohol yet the foot has become infected and I can't walk on it! I had to miss the reviews for my finals because I couldn't walk to class. Luckily students gave me notes to help.

I want medical help for my foot because I can't sleep due to the pain. I know it sounds pathetic, trust me I feel pathetic, but this scrape hurts more than any bone I have broken. Picture below.

I also am a supporter of Ron Paul, and want to be involved with politics. I want to help in Iowa, expenses are covered except transportation. I have 3 bucks to last me until new years when I get a job.
