I am curious why certain religions, more then others, tend to knock door to door to tell everyone about their faith and beliefs?
The local Jehovahs, CONSTANTLY knock on neighborhood doors and try to engage everyone in an hour long chat about how great their religion is. And that is fine! That is great. I feel if you love your religion, embrace it. But I don't get why they have to go to stranger's houses to try and get others to join them.
At least if I knew of Christians, Protestants, Jewish, Baptists, etc., coming to your door, I won't feel so confused. At least in my area, the knocking people are Jehovah's but in my old neighborhood they were Mormons. I have put up a sign in my front door's window saying " ATTENTION RELIGIONS! The Bible doesn't need door-to-door salesman, it sells itself!"
I'd like to hear from those that know the answer or at least have had other religions at their door (christians, catholic, etc.).

Why do Some Christians say "they're throwing god out of this country" or "god wont be there for us anymore". I'm an atheists and I would like to thank you for letting me know that I control the one that controls you

I was asked to have the youth group meetings at my house. Is it impolite that I ask the kids to not wear shoes inside during the meetings and for their parents when they come to pick them up. How do I do this?

I was raised Catholic and belong to Catholic parents. I've gone to Catholic schools all my life. I've always believed in God and still do, but I've never agreed with some of the main beliefs in Christianity. Ex. I don't believe in the Creation story, I'm pro-gay marriages, I think some parts of the Bible are subject to change over time, etc. Before I thought that meant that I'm just not a "traditional" Christian, but now I think that I can't be a "true" Christian without accepting some of Christianity's most fundamental beliefs (and I know a lot of you will agree with me).

Right now I'm not really following any official religion. My parents are devout Catholics and a lot of my friends are believers so the Catholic faith is a huge part of my life (like going to church; I know it's not big deal and it's only 1 hour but I feel like I shouldn't even be in church anymore). Should I tell them I'm questioning my faith (if so, how?) or should I just suck it up for now until I've decided?

Some Christians think that End Days are near. If you're one of them, how do prevent this view from being a self-sulfilling prophecy?

I am very concerned that those that think End Days are near are doing things that might bring about some really nasty future events. I think that such people are encouraging armageddon because they think that's "what God wants", or they think it's inevitable, or they don't want to be proven wrong.

The "prophecies" of the bible have been misinterpreted for centuries, this trend is not stopping. If someone claims they can tell the future through bible interpretation, they are lying to you. It is not our place to know the future. Claiming to do so, is claiming to know the mind of God.

DO NOT BE FOOLED!!!

Many people who celebrate Christmas are nonbelievers and it's more about commercialization nowadays. Christmas actually originated from pagan traditions. What do elves and reindeer have to do with anything, anyway?

I'm a Catholic, but I don't see how it is possible. Isn't that what all Catholics believe? I can understand that the hosts and the wine are symbolic of the body and blood, but that's not what Catholics believe.
Can someone please tell me, simply, what Catholics actually believe?
Thanks.

We all know how gay-bashers claim that God hates homosexuals, but where in the bible is that stated? I've searched all throughout the old and new testaments and come up with nothing that states, "God hates homosexuals."

My question is how can I trust God?

I have tried very hard to always put christ first in my life.
Now God has plagued me with several diseases at a very young age. I did not have sex in highschool because I wanted to follow the lord and wait until marriage. I now know that I will never be able to get married, have children, or even work my way out of debt.
I will probably live a long, endebted, and alone life.
I know the cracker-jack box answers to the question, "why does god hate me?"
I want to know how can I trust him?
Would you still trust him if he set you up to fail and then surrounded you with nothing but reminders of how your life is far below expectations, and how no matter how hard you try your life will never get any better?

Oh... what I would give to have been born a starving person living in Africa. To have never believed that life could be good.

Please do not tell me there is no God. I respect your view, but I am asking other believers for help. Thanks

I home school my sons and some people think I shouldn't have that right stating society should. I say when society gives me children then they can have a say. "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." This is the U.S.A. not Ancient Sparta where the government owns the children and their parents.

My question is: If atheists can't stand the fact that christians spread the word about their faith, minister, and try to recruit followers, why then do atheists/agnostics do the same to christians? This word, "ATHEIST" is a label you gave yourself, and it is not a religion, and you proudly say, "I have an absence of belief in the existence of God or gods", yet you too try to recruit members. One person comes to mind..... username: AtheistsRule
Just my opinion, anyone have any thoughts on the matter?

we're supposed to be showing others the love of Christ and leading them to Him. we're not supposed to jump on them and "beat them over the head" with the Bible. can we please come together and show people the way to God without pushing them away?

we're not trying hard enough. there are still thousands of people on their way to Hell and we are just sitting back doing nothing. lets get out there and tell people about Him. are you with me?

any three random points is a triangle.Which is equal to a 180 degrees.Divided by three is 60, 60, and 60. Or if you put them in a line like this ___________ that is still 180 degrees and is divided by three is 60,60, and 60. So I guess I am wondering why does 6,6,6 and 60,60,60 look so similar.
Kinda like The father=George Bush Sr
The Son=George Bush Jr.
and the holy spirit=hmmm? Death, The element which keeps you alive. Even vegetables are alive before cook or eat them
The next question is why is the anticrist emblem, the cross turned upside down. It is the same symbol point blank.
Now here is the thing Jesus was crucified on the cross supposedly. Depending how you look at it, that is a sacrifice for the devil. Depending on how you look at it. http://www.towson.edu/~mrix/amaranthyne1b.GIF
