Many folks have a problem with priests, or even Christ standing between themselves, and God. I have a problem, accepting Angels. Shouldn't they be at the back of the line?

If your here to tell me god is stupid, please leave.

Have you ever had a spiritual vision or a sign that confirmed your beliefs when you weren't 100% sure of God?
What do you think of "those who claim they can contact the dead"?
What would God consider the most important things to remember from the bible?
Do you believe God works through other people?
Do you believe that Evolution and the bible go together?
What do they mean by the holy ghost and what does this part of god do?
This lady says that god is going to be using my friend soon, and to keep on her best behaviour. Doesn't he want to use me to?
Is it true that once your in the book of life its forever? Even if you do something really bad? So once you've accepted god as your god(?), your forgiven for all the past sins, all your current sins and all your future sins?
If you have sinned than you die before you can repent but your saved will you still make it into heaven?

Please try and answer these as open questions.

...the whole design of brainwashing is that individual choice is actually usurped by using mind-control techniques...what would give any member a clue that they are being duped into believing lies...and how could they follow THE CLUES if mind-control techniques are built into the foundation of the church system and are being applied to members at every turn?

FOR CENTURIES, Christians have recognised Islam as a false religion. Until recently Muslims (or Mohammadans as they have been known in the past) have been the focus of evangelistic outreaches. But today many people are considering Islam from a more ecumenical point of view. It is often said that Christians, Jews, and Muslims are worshipping the same God, but in different ways. Muslims have capitalized on this misconception and now urge Christians and Jews to worship the one God with them, and work together for solutions to the world's many social problems. It is important to know some of the history and false doctrines of Islam, and to reject the new approach of this fast growing religion.

Islam began about 600 A.D. in what is modern Saudi Arabia. The religion of Islam has as its focus of worship a deity by the name of "Allah." The Muslims claim that Allah in pre-Islamic times was the biblical God of the Patriarchs, prophets, and apostles. The issue is thus one of continuity. Was "Allah" the biblical God or a pagan god in Arabia during pre-Islamic times? The Muslim's claim of continuity is essential to their attempt to convert Jews and Christians for if "Allah" is part of the flow of divine revelation in Scripture, then it is the next step in biblical religion. Thus we should all become Muslims. But, on the other hand, if Allah was a pre-Islamic pagan deity, then its core claim is refuted. From its dubious beginnings, Islam has grown to approximately a billion adherents worldwide. For centuries Islam has exerted a great deal of influence over the people of the Middle East and Africa, even dominating southern Europe for a time. Today Islam is endeavoring once again to have a significant influence upon the culture and society of the Western World.

The new image Islam is trying to present in the West is a far cry from the fanaticism and violence advocated by many Muslim leaders. Nevertheless, the devotion of Muslims in the West to Islamic principles is as uncompromising as any in the world. The presentation of Islam in Europe and North America is characterized by intellectualism rather than emotionalism. The irrational religious frenzy by which Islam has become recognized worldwide is covered by a facade of civility. Yet, Muslims around the world concur that Islamic laws and principles take precedence over the decency and morality of civilization.

I'm a woman and I bleed every month and that's not my choice. If one believes in God they should know that God gave that curse to woman.

Dictionary defines curse as "A source or cause of evil","Menstruation".
