She has been in the hospital for almost 4 weeks,
with severe head trauma after her ex b/f beat
her. Doctors aren't having much success with
reducing brain swelling & fluid build-up. April is
having intense pain and diminished motor skills,
and I am very worried for her : (

She needs all the help she can get,
so please keep her in your prayers
to ask God for her complete recovery.

Thanks in advance for your concern : )
May God Bless each of you !

"Christianity has been used throughout history as an exuse for some of the most brutal, heartless, and senseless atrocities known to men. The historical examples are not difficult to recall: the Crusades, the Inquisitions; the witch burning; the Holocaust... I did not see much in Christianity that I considered to be worth the having." Ken Schei, atheist

Okay, I'm Christian - I believe in God and Jesus Christ.

Whats the difference?

Please NO talking bad about others here, please NO JUDGEMENT.

I want to know what the difference is - I was told that Muslims believe only in the Old Testament of the Bible and that things in the New Testament have not happend yet?

ok, so... I don't believe in God or Buddah or anything like that. However, I do believe that there are greater forces out there, like spirits. I believe that once a loved one passes on, whether human or animal, their spirit is present around us. I believe in the notion that they are looking over us. Not to the point where I would have rituals, lol, but I do believe they're out there. What would, in this case, be my religion?

I asked this question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Av4MMEejivQefwqmJzDZu7Hsy6IX?qid=20060716153519AA81zNF
People are laughing at me and saying that im drinking. Im only 14. How come some people are so prejudice? How come some people are so rude? And this one girl insults me on every lin of her "answer" and says that she is a good Christian. How is that possible? Some people need to wake up. You cant be a Christian and mock everyone in site for simply asking a good question or 2 about Jesus. Am I right?

I seen a picture of this written on a sign in the front yard of a house after Sept. 11. What do you think off it? If you agree can it work both ways. If some renegade groups was to go comment some terrible act in the name of Christianity and America would it be fair to say "Kill them all let God sort them out"

I am not condoning any act of violance, I just want to see what people think of this.

Im sitting here reading the bible and everywhere I read it seems to me that worship is like spiritual sex. It looks like marriage is the mirror of worship of Jesus and that being with G-d in prayers and worship is like being with your husband but in a spiritual sense...am I right ? Wow....if thats true then I really wouldnt need to be with my bf...I could like really wait for a husband. I know you dont have physical sex with G-d so dont frigging yell at me. OK?

As we all know, rainbows appear when light passes through water, and the water slows down the light, making it appear as the different color spectrums, with the light slowing more the futher it travels through the water. But the bible says that God gave us rainbows as a covenant after Noah's flood (see Genesis 9:8-17). And most Christians act as if this is some special gift to us from God.

But is it possible that, all other physical reactions being the same, God could have NOT created rainbows? Would light somehow pass through water at the same speed it does in air? How could that be? Would this also happen in the ocean, making the whole thing bright as daylight even at the bottom?

I'm not suggesting that God didn't create the earth. I'm just saying that rainbows are clearly not a special gift, but a natural feature that would have been very difficult to prevent. Explain otherwise, and try to be specific. And if you don't understand rainbows, you probably shouldn't bother.

The bible is very clear. Jesus is the Son of God. Why do the liberals have such a hard time with this simple concept?

It has to do with the Bible, and Samson, the guy who was strong because of his hair. Does anyone know what it means?

Recently I've been learning more and more about religion and thought of something.
Why is it that over 99% of the children born in a certain religion remain in that religion. Why are Jewish children Jewish, Why are Muslim children Muslim.
I was thinking that we may be lost. The answer might be that we don't search. We buy religion too easily and just stick with it. And some of us believe in our religion so much that we are willing to argue for hours on which is right and which is wrong.

The message here is that for some reason, we just pass on, we keep ignoring the little thought we get once in a while on which path is right. I'm not preaching any religion here but I do think that one should at least give it a chance and try to fidn what is correct.
