Who is or are the Anti Christs? 1 John 2:18 tells us there are many Anti Christ's. Was Hitler an Anti Christ? Does the bible not tell us Jews will be persecuted throughout history, Hitler did claim to be acting in the name of the Lord and at the same time murdered millions of Jews. The bible gives stern warning against changing the words of the bible. Yet the book of Mormon has been changed throughout the life of the Mormon church. And caught in the outright act of plagiarism. Was Joseph Smith one of the Anti Christs? Was Jim Jones an Anti Christ? Jones claimed to be Jesus, Akhenaten, Buddha, Lenin, and Father Divine. This coming from a man who used to sell pet monkeys door to door. The bible says Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.Matt 7:15-16. What about David Koresh, he wrote the bible to suit his own needs, and claimed to be Jesus Christ. Who are the Anti Christs?

I just looked out of my window a few seconds ago and saw this hearse drive slowly by with a coffin in the back and all I could think to myself was "How sad for the friends and the family that they've lost their loved one." so close to what is supposed to be such a joyous time.

I for one will be praying that their sorrow and pain is made better.

It appears to me that some people spend a lot of time worrying about other people's sins. Since God says we are all sinners, does anyone have the right to judge another person's sins or deny him any civil right given to citizens in this country?

Jesus states that we must not judge other people, but Republicans have spent the last several years judging others...using their religion as a club to strike at liberals, at homosexuals, at the poor.

Shouldn't we be worried about our own sins, and not spend our time judging others? Since God loves us all equally, has it occurred to anyone that homosexuals are as precious to him as anyone else? How can anyone on this planet believe they have the right to do God's judgment for him? Aren't we supposed to live our lives, make our choices, and leave it to God to judge our actions? Since many scientists believe that homosexuality is a genetic factor, how can some people claim it is a sin, when it may be as genetic as eye color or race?

Have any avowed atheists lived a live of exemplary moral virtue and self-sacrifice, comparable to the many Christian saints?

There are two ways to win best answer for this question.

1. Establish that a person actually is an avowed atheist AND that he practiced exemplary moral virtue and self-sacrifice.

2. Debunk the claims of a supposed saintly atheist by showing either that he was not an atheist or not saintly.

I went Christmas shopping the other night. I was fully in the Christmas spirit. UNTIL....a woman almost ran me over with her cart, a man grabbed something I picked out right out of my hand, and a spoiled child stood there and screamed until her mom gave her what she wanted...Is this what Christmas has become? Has anyone else had a horrible shopping experience?

All aboard! Time machine leaving...this ride only makes 3 stops, and because we forgot the flux capacitator it only goes one way (and then hops back to present)...so where will you go?

What tip would you give a person or people you meet?

What 3 people/places would you visit? or who do you hope to visit in the future?

Don't forget souveniers: any favorite items or foods you'd bring back/ or expect to find, like sci fi gadgets? (please keep em small enough to get back lol)

If you had the choice, would you stay where you were for good?

And last, do you think you'd try to blend in with the time or go with your normal clothing?

Whooooaa, Totally Excellent Dude! Backkkkk tooooooo theeeeeee fuuuuuutuuuuuureeeeeee!

consider acts like those occuring in china, the "killing rooms" and violent treatment of those who voice their political opinions. Are we more cruel now than we were say, at the time of the spanish inquisition and before? is war getting bloodier or less bloody? is the treatment of prisoners, women, refugees etc improving around the world, or worsening?

Last night, I asked why people still die if praying for sick people is so effective.

I also asked why I should expect God to alter his grand plan for me when he doesn't for the thousands of starving people around the world. I got a few "countries why deny god brought calamity down on themselves" answers (which I think is a bunch of crap) and a few "You should do it for the comfort of the sick person" answers (which I agree with) in among the "You need Jesus" and "God doesn't exist" standards.

But lets say God does exist and has a big grand plan. Should you ever ask for things to be other than He wants? I mean, presumably, if it is happening, it is a part of the plan, so isn't asking for something that is happening to have a specific outcome asking for something that may not be in accordance with the plan?

In Wicca, they place great importance on not meddling with the free will of others - love spells, for instance, are generally considered a very bad idea. (continued)

If dragons never existed why does every single civilisation mention these beasts?
Why are they inscribed on walls(Babylon,Iraq), in churches, etc.
Why did Alexander the great (a man of respect to say the least,a man who knew what he was talking about)mention coming across them in India?
Why did Marco Polo(another man of high standing-and of education)mention in his notes that the emperor of mandarin,China kept dragons at his palace?
just a couple of examples there of people of competence and repute mentioning them,there's alot more for those that wish to really find answers to their questions
