You aren't Jewish and this isn't Hannukah. Even the Jews only go 8 days.

Why are you Christians always trying to take more and more of the calendar. If you're going to take 12 days for a Christian Holiday, might I suggest St. Patrick's Day. It's much more fun for the rest of us.

I can't beleive I'm coming out and asking this.
I feel so stupid.
I'm 18 years old, girl, and I think I'm bi, well know I'm bi, for now.
I'm with a girl that's 16, we've been off and on for 2 years.
She's mad because I won't tell my friends.
I feel like I shouldn't be with her, but I love her, a lot.
I feel so stupid lately, like I messed up bad, but I don't know what to do about it.
Should I just change my number and try to deal with the fact that I shouldn't be with a girl, it was wrong.
Or what should I do?

I saw this answer several times: There is no God because there is no indisputable proof God exists.

My question is if an atheist relies on science, and the rules of science dictate that absence of proof is not proof something doesn't exist, how can you be an atheist?

If you rely on the lack of evidence but science dictates that it takes proof in the negative to determine a theory doesn't exist, shouldn't all atheists who believe in science over religion be agnostics?

how do you explain the power of prayer?

My mom had a golf ball sized lump in her breast that needed to be biopsied. The entire church prayed for her, layed hands on her, even made her a prayer quilt. When they went to biopsy the lump two weeks afer the mamogram that found it, 2 docrors and 3 ulrtasound tecks couldn't find it. They did another mamogram and there was nothing there. If God didn't make it go away then what did?

This is the second time I asked this, but I wanted some new answers. Thanks.

For a while the fact that humans possess one less chromosome than all other primates would disprove the theory that all modern day primates came from one species. The discovery of chromosome #2 being a fusion of two chromosomes found in other primates shows how a single ancestor is incredibly likely. This is one of many examples of how if evolution wasn't true that the evidence of evolution was created deceptively.
If you believe in creationism, this would suggest that God purposely created us to make it appear that we had evolved. Do you think your God is intentionally deceptive?

Everything they've ever "known" has been proven to be wrong. A thousand years ago everybody knew as a fact, that the earth was the center of the universe. Five hundred years ago, everybody knew that the Earth was flat. I would say more scientific things but it seems the more complicated the words get and fancy things being thrown into an argument they (majority) just throw in the towel, I mean book of faith that they believe in and quote from there.
Anyways, the more things are discovered and become common knowledge, will faith become more and more hard to come by with all the answers being found?

I have been conversing with a Muslim and the request was made that I speak with some that have converted to Islam. Out of respect and so we can continue our conversation, I am doing just that. I posted before and got only one response. If you converted to Islam, would you please share your reasons and experiences? If you know someone that has converted, please share my question with them. (I am a devout Christian and not looking to convert, just looking to expand my knowledge, so please, no preaching.)

I know that my gay friends are pretty divided between Hillary and Obama...

They like Hillary's plan for healthcare and Obama's take on "marriage" being up to the churches and states instead of the federal government.
