If you're telling the truth about anything, you wouldn't care if people question it because you know what you're saying is true so you would have nothing to hide and nothing to worry about. On the other hand, if you know you're lying, you wouldn't want anyone to question you because you know they might discover you're lying. Think about it.

In the temple endowment why do you put on green aprons like satan? What does this represent? You think there is nothing wrong with this? Please give me a straight answer and don't brush me off. Be truthful.

Think about it. In the Bible, Jesus rose from the dead and was depicted as having a bright light shine above him, taking him up to heaven. Has anyone seen X-Files lately? Those "abductees" were taken up by a bright light. Coincidence? I think that it's just aliens messing with our heads all these millenia.

People use the word "practice" to describe how they live in their religion. I find this to be funny. I know that there are many uses of the word practice, but think of it in a way as you would practice a dance for a recital. When you practice that dance, you are practicing so that when the "real time" comes, you'll be ready right? When will the real time come to exercise whatever religion it is you "practice".

I know this is probably a silly question, but I am one of the sort who find humor in the many uses for words.

Heh.

For atheists: The world continues to produce flawed societies (Nazi Germany, Rhwanda) where a majority rises with a distorted collective conscience of right and wrong--and atrocities occur. To systematize a code of morality, would you support a global vote on right and wrong? This concensus could educate those with damaged personal conscience, and reduce the capacity of powerful personalities to sway societies into violent value systems. "Universal Truth" is off the table for the atheist--so shouldn't we have a worldwide vote to at least establish a global definition of right and wrong? Majority rule is all there is, so wouldn't a global morality vote be the best?

Ok ppl to begin think about thats statment. there was trouble in schools while the bible was in school, ppl just didnt pay attention to those things, b/c the bible was the altimate fact based on there opinion. Segergation in all its forms came from the bible while in school, against people of jewish, islamic, and budist faith, aganist homosexuals, etc, and people had to concel themselves from the world around them, while in school drugs new were introduced such as lsd in the 1930s, herione, etc, these were all things that didnt have restrictions untill a certain point, the only thing ppl dont think about is the fact nothing was wrong back then other then things that were out of the norm. lsd was used buy pshycologist, and it and other drugs could be oder out of a catalog, you werent suppose to be gay, jews killed Jesus which intitled them to be abused, and if you noticed that the moment they baned the bible from school they also baned alot of other thing, then at that point you begin

im a new Christian (i dont belong to any church) .Id like to ask you wether its a sin to believe in universal energy and use it for healing? Let me explain my definition of universal energy-reiki: modern quantum physics has shown that everything is composed of energy which, when in dense form, forms atoms. this means that everything physical is energy. From biblical point of view, God created everything from Word. As we know, biblical language is symbolic. So, when we consider Word to be something not physical, yet existing, could that be a synonym of energy? Eastern religions believe in this energy as well, they call it reiki. So, my question is: when i use reiki for healing, is it a sin? (im not asking about opinion of Church, but what the Bible says about it. I havent read it yet)

It is no longer news that the church has divided into countless denominations world wide. Can't say i have anything against that. But my worry is that a christain would rather travel distance to worship in a church of his denomination than worship in another in his locality. If we all believe in Jesus Christ, should we discriminate btw churches? I notice muslims feel at home in any mosque. Why is this so? I need honest answers because its so confusing.

2006-06-29 04:59:33 · 25 answers · asked by Anonymous

When Christians debate about god's existence, all they do is ask a bunch of questions and hope you can't answer them so they can say "god is the answer". Atheists can give other answers other then god and that's when Christians get frustrated and say
"This conversation is going no where" happens all the time.

Basing you argument on questions is a very ignorant thing to do

How did we get here?
Who made the world?
Why do things happen?
Why are we here?
What happens when we die?
Why does so many people believe in god?
