If you believe in God on faith alone, then why try so hard to prove your beliefs with science. I thought it was faith???

Do you think Islams intention is to dominate the world as supremists and extremists say, or do you think it's possible to live in harmony with other religions being equal and considerate

In your ideal version of this hypothetical situation, would non-christians be asking questions about christianity in that section? If the non-christians we're discussing had no desire to convert?

When I was a teenager, my best friend became a born again Christian. She invited me to a weekend party at her place, and I accepted. I got to meet a number of her friends, and hear live music around a bonfire, which was all great until the songs gradually becoming more and more Christian in theme.

After about an hour of pure Christian songs, the lead singer stopped, saying that he felt the the presence of Jesus. We all held hands and they prayed out loud. 'Apparently' Jesus had a message for a certain 'someone' in the group, and that person was led to them to hear his truth and glory. grrrrrrr!

I was furious! I had been 'led' there under false pretenses. I lived far away, and had no way home. I was trapped. That whole weekend was organized as a 'rescue mission' for ME!
I could hear them plotting how to 'save me' while they thought I was sleeping. They truly felt they were doing God's work by lying, scheming and kidnapping me. The nerve!

Has anyone else been kidnapped for Jesus?

Why it is so cool to be a woman

We can get rid of leg hair without pretending that we do a lot of cycling/swimming or any other sport that would require aerodynamic legs.

We absently hum tunes from musicals without anyone being suspect of our sexuality.

When we buy a vibrator it is glamorous. When men buy a blow up doll it's pathetic.

Should we wake up looking like something the cat dragged in, we can fix it with cosmetics.

We can have partners that are years younger than us without being called dirty old perverts.

We can scare male bosses with mysterious gynecological disorder excuses.

Systems support men always return our calls, and are nice to us when we blow up our computers.

We know that Tetris is the computer game to end all games.

We got off the Titanic first.

Our boyfriend's clothes make us look elfin and gorgeous. They look like complete dorks in our clothes.

We have total control over our eyebrows.

We can be groupies. Male groupies are stalkers.

It's cool to be a daddy's girl. It's sad to be a mommy's boy.

We can cry to get out of speeding fines.

The thrill of surprising people by being good at darts... and pool... and football.

We live longer, so we can be cantankerous old biddies wearing inappropriate clothes and shouting at strangers... men die earlier so we get to cash in on the life insurance.

We know that games are fun, but don't believe there's a direct correlation between the size of our scores and the size of our... womanhood.

Taxis stop for us.

We get drunk quicker and cheaper.

We have no desire to arrange our possessions in alphabetical order. Ever.

We've never fancied a cartoon character or the central figure in a computer game.

It does not enhance our social standing to understand the inner workings of a 'ruck' (or any other football thing). But we look incredibly cool if we do.

We never recognize ourselves in aspects of Mr. Bean. Ever.

We don't look like a frog in a blender when dancing.

Judges 1:19
And the Lord was with Judah; and He drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

If God had trouble with metal chariots, why do Christians think he'll be able to beat the armies of the Antichrist?
