Which explanation explains why teenagers are "more immorral", (which I don't agree with because I think everyone sins every day since that day with the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil)

1. Prayer left public school.

or

2. The modern economy has computers and people have to work longer hours to keep their jobs since they're less white collar jobs, clearly less blue collar jobs, so people might end up working more hours and some work two jobs. So the familys that have mommies and daddies don't have the same hour for hour of mommie and daddy with the children week to week. Traffic jams, etc. There were single parent families before the 1950s.

3. TV (Queer eye for the straight Guy)
Now, what do you think is the real cause of "immorrality" in America, is it that God left school, is it the modern economy, is it that evil TV making high school kids give each other fornication?

Yesterday my sister in law almost got run over, a neighbor was going out of the garage too fast and didn't see her. He didn't apologize but started cursing her and saying mean things to her as it were her fault. I was a couple of yards away but saw everything. We know this guy, he lives near and he is always annoying everyone with loud music, throwing garbage to the street and things like that. Do you think we should tell my brother and make him confront the neighbor? Try to get some revenge?? Or just let it pass and wait until karma hits him???

It is surprising that intolerance for homosexuality, religions other than your own, abortion, and the like is an acceptable practice if it is your own religion and views. But when they differ and the opposing view is as zealous as you are, thus begins the conflict. So shouldn’t (on the whole) religion be excluded in policymaking, just in case your opposition comes to power?

I mean, the truth was pretty amazing, who knew our sun was only one of billions of stars, and it really blew our mind when we found out ours was only one of millions/billions? of other galaxies! We didn't find out about how not alone we were in the universe until 70 years ago--we are so teeny tiny but are part of something so huge--one of billions and billions of stars and planets-- perhaps even other universes--how could anything earthly even answer a question like that when we now know what the real truth is?
Don't you think religion should work with science and try to find philosophy of what happened before the big bang why everything in the universe evolves instead of trying in vain to fight it?

I know it's very generalized to just say Christians. Maybe more specifically I should say evangelical or fundamentalist Christians.

I would like to hear opinions on this. Would you be happy if creationism completely supplanted evolutionism in public schools? If prayer in schools was mandatory? If all our elected officials had to consult with a pastor or priest before enacting legislation? If all judges had to have a degree in theology? Maybe even if everyone was forced to go to church a certain number of times a month?

For example, they chose exactly four Gospels from among the over 40 that were in use within the early Christian movement as God inspired, inerrant and infallible. They rejected the rest.

So God didn't inspire 40 people to write things, only 4, and this was decided by man.

What was in those other 36 I wonder.

Hi! "USA" ans

Truly, was there a remarkable change after prayers were cancelled at schools in America?

Is it true that crime has increased in schools since morning prayers were cancelled out of schools in America?

Is true also that occultic practices like Satanism has increased in most American schools since morning prayer was cancelled at scools?

Is it true that most pupils do not have good manners at schools since prayers were taken out of schools?

When you answer please mention your stand "Christian" or "Atheist" or "Agnostic".

Please just give your honest opinion or realisation.
Please don't be rude or sacarstic.

Thanks!Hug!

Why do different religions fight over who's religion is the true one. They should all be right.

Isaiah was a prophet, Ezra was a priest, Matthew was a tax-collector, John was a fisherman, Paul was a tentmaker, Moses was a shepherd.

Okay a prophet is synonymous with predicting and seeing the future, so basiaclly that's a psychic hotline person.

A priest spends all day long praying to imaginary people.

A tax-collector will say anything as long as he gets your money.

A fisherman? I have a hard time believing they were the most educated person back then.

A tentmaker? See above.

And a shepherd. Unless the shepherd is teaching me how to move sheep around, I don't think I'd trust his knowledge on any other subject.

Why do you care??

Why do you care if two people of the same sex love each other. Why do you care if a woman doesn't want to have a kid. Just leave them alone and let them live their own lives. They have the right to do whatever they want. I know some people will disagree with me, but that's okay because they are the people who is in everyone's else's business. Just let them do what they want. If I get an abortion, it WON'T affect you. If I marry a lesbian, it WON'T affect you, so I'll ask again ............. Why do you care??

Every answer of him that I've read is followed by this verse: Qurán 9:5
""The Verse of the Sword""
"" Fight and slay the pegans wherever you find them, and seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem""

I've read this chapter and it concerns treaties that has been broken.

9:4] If the idol worshipers sign a peace treaty with you, and do not violate it, nor band together with others against you, you shall fulfill your treaty with them until the expiration date. GOD loves the righteous.

[9:5] Once the Sacred Months are past, (and they refuse to make peace) you may kill the idol worshipers when you encounter them, punish them, and resist every move they make. If they repent and observe the Contact Prayers (Salat) and give the obligatory charity (Zakat), you shall let them go. GOD is Forgiver, Most Merciful.

I am not a muslim but I'm realy getting irritated by people like him.

I teach in the children's ministry at my church on Sundays, and there is a disruptive child in the class. Some teachers who have taught him get frustrative due to his behavior, even though they know that he has ADD. He takes medication. I know that children need to be disciplined and that's not the issue, but how do I create an atmosphere where he's not the bad guy in the class. Alot of the preteens in the class call him "bad." Not cool in my book. Any suggestions?

Instructions: Find a very large candle and put it in the center of the room. Then place all of the Kings and Jacks out of a deck of cards around the candle on the floor. Light the candle and say "Spirit of fertility come forth and grant me the wish of the man I long for." Do this every day for seven days, keeping the candle lit for the entire 7 days and doing the ritual at midnight each night. Extinguish the candle saying "Spirit now in the air go forth and do your work and I will be in debt to you forever." And it will happen!!!!!! I'm gonna start tonight.

Are you as outraged by this as I am? This isn't to excuse the other side, which in my view is a terrorist organization called Hezbolah that kidnaps and launches rockets at the state of Israel, and if anything, THE ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD BE DEALING WITH THE SCOURGE OF TERRORISM.

But all I'm asking with this question is, shouldn't a legitimate government want to set the example and follow the United Nations request.

Or if the United Nations is wrong, tell me why you think they are wrong. (I think there is a simple solution, all the organized governments gather together and work on how to eliminate all terrorist organizations, using the United Nations or whatever your prefered international diplomatic channel)
