Just curious. I am not looking for the standard religious line here. Anyone read any accounts of near-death experiences with suicide? Many books on near death experiences don't go near this subject. Share any experiences, religious included. All are welcome. Thanks!

So, knowing that I am a Pagan, would you be willing to befriend me for the person I am on the inside, or would you just befriend a 'lost soul' in the hopes of converting me?

Be honest please and don't worry about offending me.

Muslims think they will go to heaven for killing so called God's enemy

Christians think they can kill 5000 people, repent, say they're sorry and really mean it and still go to heaven

To the best of my memory, before I came to the saving grace of Jesus Christ, I did not believe the Bible was true. I doubted whether God, Satan, heaven, or hell even existed. I believed that we were born, lived so many years, and then died. I had my own business and thought that I had succeeded by my own wits.
One evening, my wife and I heard some documentation that these were the last days before Jesus Christ would actually return. Not wanting to hear it, I almost walked out. Something kept me there, and I listened but was not convinced; however, I decided to do some research to find out if the Bible was really true. Indeed, if I could find one contradiction or anything that was not true, then I could disregard it. I believed this would not take long. This led me into much research. I learned nearly one-third of the Bible is directly or indirectly related to prophecy which includes about 10,000 prophecies. One thing needed, was to determine when the Bible was actually written. Thus, a study of biblical history, various translations, and archaeology was necessary. The Dead Sea Scrolls, which were found in Israel, contained parts of the Old Testament including prophecies of the coming of Jesus. It has been proven that these were written before Christ came. Thousands of clay tablets and archaeological sites also confirm many accounts in the Bible.
I took time off and began studying the prophecies. My wife would spend much time at the library. She obtained documentation for me from reference books which I would check against the Scriptures to see if the prophecies took place. One week went by and then a month. Every prophecy that we were able to get information on proved to be accurate. I was astonished, but still not convinced. Later, there were people who would show me what appeared to be contradictions in the Bible. These were not contradictions, but only a lack of research on the part of those that said these things. Stubborn, that's me. Even after four months of intensive study, proving prophecy after prophecy was true, I was still skeptical. Four months turned into six. I became more determined. It wasn't possible that the sixty-six books of the Bible written by many people over hundreds of years would not have some errors, I thought. Thousands of prophecies, and every one perfect? No, impossible! If I would admit that, then I would also have to admit there was a God. I was not prepared to do that—yet, I wanted to know the truth. More months passed. Finally, I had to admit after spending almost countless hours of research—I was wrong. I may have been the biggest skeptic in the world, but now I know—the Bible is true and is the perfect Word of God. Anyone willing to take the time I did and do the same research could only come to the same conclusion, if they are honest with themselves. I became afraid that I would perish. I surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God as a result of His love, compassion, mercy and grace.
I know that there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we MUST be saved (EXCEPT JESUS)-ref Acts 4:12. I REPENTED of my sins and received Jesus Christ as my only hope of salvation by FAITH-ref Eph 2:8-10. It is written, EXCEPT YE BE CONVERTED, AND BECOME AS LITTLE CHILDREN, YE SHALL NOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN-Mt 18:3. You can also call on Jesus NOW to be YOUR Lord and Savior.

Ive been seeing shows and stuff about the "bible code" seems a bit ridiculous to me - wasnt the original bible written in aramaic? are we to believe that the bible was written so that english speaking people with computers could find english words in it 2 thousand years after it was written? like would kennedy and bin laden be the same in english as it would in aramaic? and twin towers and such? it seems pretty stupid to me. anyone have any insight on how this aramaic gets the code broken and then made into english words?

Why is the Atheist symbol on the "approved" list of "Available Emblems of Belief for Placement on Government Headstones and Markers", while the Wiccan Pentacle has been stonewalled for nearly a decade? Why do religions such as Eckankar, the United Church of Religious Science, Humanists, Christian Scientists, and the Tenrikyo Church have approved symbols, while Wicca is caught in the bureaucracy? Surely this couldn't be religious discrimination in the United States, could it?

Are dreams just random, or do they have a meaning? Is it what we think that makes us dream what we dream?

I am tired of hearing Christians complaining that the non-christians need to stop posting in this category. This category is for ALL religions and spiritual paths, and there is more than just Christianity as a religion.

Here are the advantages of converting fairy tale believers to Atheism

1. It promotes thinking

2. It promotes self confidence

3. It promotes being good without having a gun to your head(threat of going to hell)

4. It makes people realize that only man can fix mans problems

5. By not believing in the after life, it causes us to place more value on the REAL life

Note: I like when a fairy tale believer tries to convert me because they're the ones that end up questioning their belief. My Atheism is sitting on a solid platform.
