KJV Bible 1611 + 395 = 2006 less 1963 = 43 years study, reading and doing the math with birth and death dates of bible people and search for accurate bible time line as math is my love in life, the stories of all the people, I have tried to learn, along with all subject in and around those from all lost, until all possible is saved by the savior Jesus Christ our Lord, so I hope I live to learn all of it as it takes a long time. More than 43 years I am sure.

I mean, you never see a muslim asking what's the dealio with you poor, confused, godless sinners, or a question making them justify their beliefs. ALSO, how can I get rid of years of Christian brainwashing that still pops up occasionally?

Answer my question why or why not. I 100% do, nad I love with my heart. But if you don't belive in God, I want to know why you don't. Not why science doesn't or "there's more and more proof of evolution..." I want to know have you tried Him but he just didn't answer your prayer fast enough or what? I really can't understand how people can just not believe in a Creator or some kind.

I've started reading about the Mormon Church a LOT recently. It seems like sometithing I might be interested in joining. I am going to go to a church with my LDS friend when I get back home (a few weeks), but I was wondering: What happens to new members? I've read you take 6 classes before you can join, but what about attonement? I've been living a pretty..umm.."unclean" life by mormon standards, what would I have to do to be square in the eyes of the church? Also, family is really important in the LDS church, and i was wondering if any like...boys that were raised LDS would even be interested in someone whos had "a past"?

I'm talking about the bad stuff of course, like family problems, rape, drug additcion, abortion( and yes it's wrong) Masterbating innocent children( Just because they can't control or happen to them when they were a child and they want revenge and make it go away by doing it to their own child or some one else.) I'm sorry if I affend anyone one of you who reads this but don't think that this is right. I'm mean talk about God being perfect and loving us all when all these bad things in this world happen today and future. Sad folks but truth it's for.......real. I know some of you think it was right to send Lucifer or Saint John or whatever you call it, but remember this in the Bible God qutoes that he made him better than the other angels. So I bet he placed a destiny on him too, God wanted Luicifer to do that just so we have the choice whether to follow him or walk into darkness with the devil. To me it didn't help by placing the bad angel there .........it made things worse.

L ron Hubbard announced to the science fiction writers of America in the 50's that the way to really get rich would be to invent a religion. After that, he took some of his ideas and invented Scientology.
It is not possible to take the scientology test and NOT receive a result that states you need your engrams (a term that Hubbard coined) altered or cleansed.
Why oh why?

(1) Please don't try to convert me or quote a bunch of scriptures. I am secure in my faith and am wondering what makes other people secure in theirs.
(2) I am not trying to offend anyone or start an arguement. Please try to give a more thoughtful answer than "because the Bible/Koran/Torah/etc. says so". Why did you choose to believe what you believe?

Believers and Non Believers. Chriastians and Atheists. Why do you care? Why have you come all the way in here to talk about it? Have you seen some of these questions? They look more like insults and rants. Why do you care so much about what others believe? ESPECIALLY when you know there is nothing you can say that will change their minds.

Christians almost have an excuse for this behavior. They are encouraged to go out and tru to convert everybody. Atheists, though. Why in the Hell would an atheist come to a place like this every day just to tell the world that they are still an atheist, say ridiculous things in hopes of irritating and confounding Christians, and bullying as many people as possible into joining their cause? Their behavior seems more like opposition than disbelief.

Why are you so worried about GOD? He's not even there, right?? Let the kids have their blankie.

A group of scientists recently completed an eight-year research project on Radioactivity and the Age of The Earth(RATE). The evidence points to a relatively young earth. Has there been an academic response by evolutionists?

I'm amazed by the name calling, the lack of respect, the accusations & general poor attitude of athiets. BOTH sides have a right to their opinions, be they logical or not, without resorting to name calling & general put-downs.

The word tolerance seems to be more and more used and replace the word acceptance to define people with religious beleifs that need special treatment...

Have you noticed the change of language in the media...

I mean: Replacing more and more the word Accepting by the word Tolerance?

The only way science progresses is to challenge itself, admit when it was wrong, question its beliefs and proceed in a fresh direction.

That's a hell of a lot more than I can say about any religion.

Do you not question the Bible out of fear of what you'll find?
