I'm a Universal Unitarian and very secure in this fact. I simply like learning about other religions and asking questions about them. But I keep getting people telling me that "obveously your heart is straining for God," and "you wouldn't be asking these questions if you were reall a non-believer," and "you have a void in your heart that Jesus needs to fill." Um... what? No, I don't. Why don't people seem to believe me when I say I'm perfectly happy not being a Christian?

Similarly, why do people assume I'm Muslim when I try to defend Islam? I'm not Muslim, I'm simply someone who dosn't think you should say an entire religion is evil simply because of the actions of a few extreemists and the ignorant views of the public.

My brother would beat on his wife and had no repsect for women in general, he also did drug and was involved in gangs... he was killed 4 weeks ago, by a man who told him he need to stop beating his wife, will GOD forgive him?
I have forgiven him for ALL his sins, will GOD for give him? My family prays for him every day, asking god to forgive him, i hope God forgives him and lets him rest in peace.

They are so super-huge,the Christian religion is so corporate now, do they really qualify as religions or are they something else entirely with their global approach and far reaching political ambitions.

Seriously, my 4th of July was ruined by a Mormon who said that he didn't "believe" in fireworks and therefore he didn't want anyone to light them at the cookout. I did anyways and he flipped out saying he would call the police on me. I wonder if it's his own personal belief or that since it's illegal in the state I live in he'll being doing something against his religion. I am still really confused about this.

For instance, take omniscience and omnipotence. If the omniscient God knows the future with absolute certainty, how can he be omnipotent? For knowing the future, he can no longer change it. If God cannot change the future, then he cannot be omnipotent. But if God can change the future, how can he be omniscient? Does God have free will? For knowing what he will do in the future with certainty, he can no longer be said to have free will. He does not make any decisions for all his future actions are already known to him.
Some ppl will try to say that we can't understand GOD and his work but at the same time theya re using words that we use to describe what we do understand. May be we should invent some new words and just say hey. This are the attributes of GOD and don't explain what they mean?
But anyway i would like to udnerstand how its possible to be omniscience and omnipotence at the same time.

How do people who do not believe in a creator God perceive suffering? Why do horrible things happen? Is there a purpose, a meaning, final justice against those who hurt others? If so, where does it come from? The best they can say is everything is a crap shoot. Bob, duck and weave and try to stay alive and avoid pain because it is vainity and meaningless...

She says that she has a really good friend who was Catholic and would still be Catholic except that she prefers to pray to God directly and not to Mary and the Catholic Saints. She said that Catholics aren't really Christians because they don't pray to God and don't believe that Jesus Christ is their Savior. I have friends who are Catholic and they seem to be very Christian and I know that they believe in Jesus Christ. I'm a little offended by her statements, because people of my faith are routinely bad mouthed by people who don't have all the facts. The next time she mentions it I want to tell her she's wrong, but I thought I'd better make sure I'm right before I do. So, what gives Catholics? Do you believe in Christ as your Savior? Do you pray to God?

I know many non-Catholics will respond to this, but I will only consider your answer for best answer if you let me know you are a Catholic.

This one claims they're fake
http://www.bibleandscience.com/science/footprints.htm

this one claims one of the footprints belonged to a 10ft woman
http://www.biblebelievers.org.au/giants.htm

Are they serious?

Show me a fossilized 10ft woman and I'll believe that. Better yet, show me her 12ft husband.

And creationists claim evolution has no evidence.

It is true that good works alone do not save your soul. But many folks sit in their suburban air conditioned churches condemning others from a distance. Folks that they would never have dinner with or hang out with. Remember that Christ actively preached to those folks in person. He spent time with them. Prostitutes, degenerates, drifters, deadbeats, homeless, etc. Remember that being a Christian is much harder than it appears to be. You must sincerely befriend those from all walks of life. And you must share the words of Jesus with them. Indiscriminately. Even if it means giving up all of your belongings to do so.

Everyone thinks their god is the only true one. Allah, Brahman, Vishnu, Atman, YHWH, Krishna, etc. How do you say, "THIS god is the good one!"
