I have done what I am supposed to do but don't "feel" like a Christian. I know faith isn't based on feelings but shouldn't I feel something?

in a negative way? Do you tell them that they are just nasty - paranoid - whining - absolutely right - do you apologize - give it thought - overreact - think that they have no right - communicate - ask more quiestions.... What do you do?

God approves of slavery. In Exodus 21 the guidelines for the buying, selling and treatment of slaves is given. God says in verse 4 that if a male slave marries, his wife and children shall remain with the master when the slave departs because technically speaking they belong to the master. How's that for family values? Now if the slave is imprudent enough to protests because he loves his wife and children and wants to stay on, the consequences can be pretty drastic. In verse 6 the master is directed to "Bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl; and he shall serve him for ever". This is all repeated with some minor alteration in Deuteronomy 15:16-17. Here the master is told to "Do likewise to your maid slaves." In Exodus 21:7-9 God even instructs men how they are to go about selling their own daughters into slavery. Here it is worth noting that many church officials including popes have owned slaves

I've always heard Christians say that Jesus died on the cross for theirs sins. I ask if he has died for your sins then why do you have to do good deeds. Afterall(according to you) Jesus was punished in place of you. So don't you think it's so silly?Son of God dying for no fault of his'?By the way can a son of god(=god) die?

Please do not talk about preaching - you can do 'more.' Let's hear about the 'more' this time.

Please answer these questions only if you have serious answers.

1. If a woman does not wear hijab (cover her hair), how will she be punished on the day of judgement?
2. Strange men and women are not allowed to shake hands with each other right? So isn't this hard to do living in the west? I mean, when someone wants to shake hands, what do you do? Launch into a speech and try to explain why you can't shake hands?

I'd really appreciate decent answers. Thank you.
