Have you ever been given a "sign" from a recently deceased loved one? Or, have you ever seen your loved one in the form of a person after they passed away? My wife believes she received a sign from her father who died years ago. I'm not a believer, but this one was pretty convincing. Tell me your story. Ten points to the best one.

Or some mix? I'm wondering since They made you in their image and similarity.
Or is it the case a Black God made Blacks, White God made Whites, Yellow God made Yellows, Mixed Gods made each Mixed? In that case there's a never-ending collection of Gods, no?

12 Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in its lusts. 13 And do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin, but present yourselves to God as being alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. 14 For sin shall not have dominion over you, for you are not under law but under grace.

Romans 6:12-14 (New King James Version)

It has a character though it is flat and static we can call it a protagonist.
It has a setting: Heaven
It has an antagonist: Satan
It has a conflict: TO BE OR NOT TO BE

It is short: You just say God and the story finishes at one sitting or at one go, everything is resolved thereafter. ıt conforms to the theory of Edgar Allan Poe

Whats the point? I don't believe that God had a hand in writing the works of the Bible, but people still say to me, "In the Bible, JESUS tells us this and that, and GOD says this and that..."

To me, thats like quoting from a Dr. Suess book.

Don't people want to know what is actually true rather than what is in a fictional book?

I am a researcher for a TV production company called Glasshead in London. As part of a documentary being shot in Florida in August, we would like to talk to a person who has/is going to be baptised naked. A name, number, address/place or e-mail would suffice.

a 5 year old boy drowns in his home swiming pool but is rescued by the father in 6 minuits but is brain dead. he calls the ambulance and the paramedic has 2 choices in his mind. CPR can make the kid live but he will be a vegitable for the rest of his life. failing to give him CPR means he will die quickly.
if you were the father what would you decide, because this really happened to a friend of mine. (the father wanted the kid to live but now after 4 years he is still a vegitable)
does a human life has any meaning if it has lost all its quality, or does it mean quantity?

One of the answers here is suggesting that I am at fault for harrasing believers. Outrageous! I merely post a quote from the Holy Bible. Then I produce evidence of a stalker who uses the word adversary in her name. I am the one harrased by this person, this stalker. Outrageous these ethnocentric "believers". I am a "believer" in something different from you.

"The Gospel of Judas," an ancient Egyptian manuscript vilified by the early church as heresy, was released by National Geographic as one of the greatest archaeological finds of the past century.
"We are confident this is a piece of genuine, Christian apocryphal literature," said Terry Garcia, National Geographic executive vice president. "This is the most significant discovery in the last 60 years," comparable to the Dead Sea Scrolls, he added.
"Judas is presented as the one to whom everything is told," said Gregor Wurst, a German scholar who helped translate the document. "Judas was an anti-hero."
It claims that Jesus and Judas planned Jesus' Crucifixion so that the death of Christ's weak, earthly body could release His spirit to enjoy the glories of heaven.

Near the end of the Judas gospel, Jesus tells Judas he will "exceed" the rest of the disciples "for you will sacrifice the man that clothes me."

I was wondering. Do creationist 'scientists' (I use that word VERY loosely.) ever go out and do some digging of there own? Do they ever bother going out and doing some actual research for themselves? Or are they a bunch of armchair 'scientists' who just sit back and misinterpret the work that other people do?

If there are some that actually do go out on digs, do they bring their bibles with them to tell them where to dig?

First does God care about spelling? Because if he does a great many people here are in serious jeopardy. Before you post a question or answer please read it or at worst copy it into Word and spellcheck it.

Second is it better to serve in Heaven or rule in Hell? Think about it in Heaven, things are all good and happy and shiny but you have to do what your told. In Hell things aren't so happy, good, or shiny but your the boss so why do you care?

I don't care what religion you are but how can you still believe in a god? It can not be disputed that there is NO god, so why do you still give money to a church or temple, and waste time prying?

That would mean you believed in either a nutcase (cause He believed he was God but was not) or you believed in an evil deceiver (cause he told others he was God but he knew he was not). The only other option is that he was who he said he was and that is the only option that makes sense when believing in Jesus. He is not just a good moral leader. He either has to be God or one of the other two options described above.
