Can you provide a link or literature that led to this separation? Also, are these the only two branches of Islam?

Religiously, I'm a devout Christian. Politically, I'm a liberal Democrat.

I'm pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, anti-death penalty, pro-stem cell research, and I'm for the separation of church and state, among other things.

Am I the only liberal Christian alive?

"18 And I say to you: That you are Peter; and upon this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
19 And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever you shall bind upon earth, it shall be bound also in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose upon earth, it shall be loosed also in heaven."

I see it as Christ giving Peter power of the Church so He could return to Heaven. I'm interested into what you think it means

so i've noticed that i have actually heard of way more people surviving cancer that was deemed "0% chance of survival" then i have heard of people dying from cancer.

and how come we are never presented with actual documentation of this "rare" and "miraculous" occurrence?

does anyone else notice how this event only happens to a friend of a friend of a friend of a cousin of the person your talking to?

what are the other non-believers thoughts on these "miracle healing" stories.

Everything we do is influenced by outside influences we just respond to them.
We thrive and make decisions on just one implulse
Our impulse to CONTENT OUR OWN SPIRIT--the NECESSITY of contenting our own spirit and WINNING ITS APPROVAL.
No one does anything for any other reason or person.

HOLD THE PHONE: There are young people who are energetic and full of life. And they give their time to their peers, families, etc. BUT WHEN did people start losing respect for their elders? When I was a kid, we respected adults so much more than many kids seem to do now.

For example, I know a 44 year old woman, and her elderly 87 year old mother. They were both attacked during a break-in, and they beat the 44 year old into a serious condition. Sure, I know thieves have no morals, but where did all the morals go?

Perhaps "torture" is a bit strong a word (haha) but y'know... don't you find it SO frustrating to come on here asking religious based questions only to have people enthusiastically replying with their phony circular logic, clearly not willing to THINK rationally? I do find it very frustrating myself.

I don't see it as a totally pointless exercise though. It's nice to think we may enlighten a few agnostic half-believers. But anyway...
What frustrates you the most about religious people?

he told me what it was and i got excited.
he said it was a Brighton watch...
and from what i know they are fairly expensive.... but he started describing it more and he said it didnt say brighton on it anywhere....it said Geneva...
He said he paid 105 dollars for it....
i searched for Brighton watches and that was their price. but when i searched for Geneva watches they were consideably cheaper.
the most Pricey one was 45 dollars.

Im concerned that my boyfriend got ripped off.
How do i tell him without him getting upset?
or should i not tell him at all?
im sure i will love the present either way but it bothers me that someone may have taken advantage of him :(
HELP!!

uhmm,,then why do we still have hell?

or he has only saved those that were already in hell before he came and so now all of us who are still here have a tendency to go to hell??

is it true that even though you dont respect your parents, commit murder, adultery etc as long as they believe in God and that Jesus is the Savior, and have asked forgiveness for their sins, they can still go to heaven?

1.) What does the Theory of Evolution actually say?

2.) What do biologists say are the two principles at work that collectively cause the phenomenon known as evolution?

It's probably pointless to say this; but please, evolutionists -- don't blurt out the answers! Let them show us they really DO understand what evolution is about (or immortalize their ignorance here online) on their own....

One of my good friends is subbing as a Sunday school teacher at his local church. We got into an argument today about the birth of Jesus-- he thought that Jesus was born on Christmas, whereas I believed that the Bible infers that he was born in spring (which it does).

Question: Has there ever been a time when you knew more about the Bible or another religious text than someone of that very faith? Details would be much enjoyed.
