I think they are. While we are able to make our own choices, think for ourselves and are responsible for our own actions without having to answer to an imaginary friend....christians are jealous because they are simply not able to do that and therefore hate us.

It's been a long time since I've heard someone "speaking in tongues". I remember the "language" sounding somewhat similar from person to person. What I'm wondering is if you were to go to a church where people's native language was different, would the speaking in tongues language sound the same? For example, if you hear someone speak in tongues whose native language is Spanish, does it sound the same as someone who speaks English? (or whatever) Is anyone aware of a good, comprehensive study on this phenomenon?

Recently, the European Pope said all USA Protestants go to hell.

Do you view that as religious hatred? Protestant bashing?

If morals are relative or taught by society, then how can we say that these actions, written in a different time in culture, are wrong or immoral?

((I'm an atheist. I'm not defending the God of the Bible. I'm just wondering if there is more to morality than society and "common sense."))

These recent shooting at the churches are perfect examples. It was an awful thing to happen but so where the mall shooting, school shootings and the execution of the Amish children. But for some reason, these TWO shootinings out of countless others means that America is out to get Chrisitans? I'm sorry but that attitude is selfish and beyond self centered which is sad for a religion that preaches acceptance and love. Why do some people do this?

I thought it would be interesting if some of us could post a link to our favorite religious music to share.

I'm an atheist, by the way...but I absolutely love Matisyahu's song "King Without a Crown." For those who don't know, Matisyahu is a Hasidic Jew...and an amazing singer. Here's the link. Enjoy.

If someone accepts Jesus in their life, keeps a close relationship with him and God, gets baptized, does good works, and witnesses to others but goes to a Baptist church, are they a saved Christian?

Throughout the synoptic gospels Jesus is called " son of David." He is never called or linked with Michael or any other spirit being.. An angelical idenity for the Son of God is clearly excluded. If Jesus had really pre-exisited as Michael he could not by definition have been the lineal and biological descendant of David. To speak of pre-human existence contradicts the scriptures which show Jesus as coming into existence only at his conception in Mary. One cannot exist before one exists. Such an idea is illogical. Would this not be a form of teaching re-incarnation? Michael the Angel changed himself into Jesus . Pre-existed himself. Became the son of God, went back to Heaven, is he still the son of God or Michael the angel or God himself?

There is no "guns" category here so I'll stick with the people I know and ask this here. There's an old saying that goes "A lock only keeps an honest man out."

Columbine - School policy said no guns allowed.

VA Tech - Guns were not allowed on school property.

Omaha Mall - Gun Free zone yet again.

The list goes on and on...
When we tell lawful citizens to keep their guns at home, the only people who have guns are the criminals. True or False?

There's another old says that goes "Why do I carry a gun? Because I can't carry a cop."

If there was a chance that someone ELSE had been armed, do you think the nutcases would have chosen another location? You never see a gun-toting wacko walk into a gun store and start blowing people away, do you?

Do you support a Christian theocracy? Has your lack of faith made you more liberal? Free trade? Please share your political views and if your lack of/faith has influenced them.

Please state your religion or stance on the existence of a God somewhere in your answer.

The thing I found most interesting about the Colorado shootings this weekend, was that the security guards at the chruch were armed and willing to kill someone. Gives a whole new meaning to WWJD. I think this goes way beyond hypocrisy, they were being hypocritical by having a massive megachurch with stores selling all kinds of cult crap, but armed security guards takes it to a whole new level.

My s-in-law has been nothing but hateful to my family ever since my brother and she married three years ago. I really wish I could have good relationship with her but she makes things impossible. I babysit my niece (their daughter) for them 5 days a week (for next to nothing) after I get off work and get home, so you'd think she'd be civil to me when she comes to pick the baby up. She either does one of two things: Comes in my house and says nothing, picks up the baby and leaves. OR comes inside and makes some kind of nasty comment about toys being on the livingroom floor (I have two kids of my own as well). Among the many hateful things she says, she acts the worst to my mother, whom she completely disrespects by refusing to let her buy her granddaughter any type of toy or gift. We find out she takes them back to the store and gets the money for them. Surely my brother can't be blind to this, but he sure is acting like it. The rest of us are tired of her ugliness. Puzzled.

You have to wonder: Why are people so stupid, they actually ruin their lives wasting years of it just on smoking/snorting/injecting. All it does is kill you physically and emotionally, so why do it? It just bugs me to see people so stupid like that. It makes no sense.
