Why do people of the orthodox religion kiss the icons? What is the siggnificance of the icons? When does fasting start and when does it end? I would really like to talk to somebody about the religion because im thinking about converting, if you can, can i have your email?

Today I need prayers for my son. He is in a detox in Florida and I am in CT. I ask anyone who prays any kind of prayer to please pray for us today. If you want me to pray for you let me know and I will no matter what religion or lack there of. If you are an atheist maybe you could just think of some nice thoughts for us or do some kind gesture in our name. I thank everyone ahead of time. Peace

can all theist pray to god for terrorist so that, they may understand that there nothing better in life than love for others, they give up path of armed struggle to non violent mode of protests, similar to that Gandhi experimented in india and south africa.

1) there is only one god so there is no meaning in saying which religion is better, the only issue is to understand god better, lead a better life before god and men.

2) Time has proved different ethnicities, cultures, politics,religions, castes and sects can co-exist in a country and can be prosperous than any other singular society.

3) It is time for all groups to come together leave violent modes of protest including terrorism, come to an understanding in all possible areas that is having unresolved issues.

do you think there is hope for non violence in this world? if you do, please pray, ask your friends and family to pray with all their heart, so that people will leave violence and increase in love for fellow human beings

If you live by the fear of God, how can you believe in His forgiveness, mercy and love; and if you love Him how can you stay fearful of His punishment?

I have been going through a rough time. I just lost my dad not to long ago and I also lost my grandpa. I l haven’t work for 2 years now. I spent the entire last year helping family. Right now I’m still helping my family but i just can’t seem to find a job. I’m so discourage. I try not to lose hope but its hard, I applied for jobs where I am more than qualified and I don’t even get a call for interview. I have two bachelors (1 in Marketing and 1 bachelor in business and system analysis).

I’m not sure of myself anymore. I’m not even sure if I will be able to get back on the work force anymore. Mom tells me not to loose hope and not give up. She tells me not to destroy what I have built. Lately I wonder if I even built something and if something was built it is probably destroyed for good. I can’t sleep anymore like I use to, I’m fighting not to fall in a depression. I am a mess right now. I prayed like crazy for help but no answers. I prayed for help for my family and that were answer

It has been said (see my previous question) that in order to be a true prophet of god, ALL their prophecies have to come true. But this is not the case with Joshua and Ezekiel:

Joshua said that God would, without fail, drive out the Jebusites and Canaanites, among others (Josh. 3:9-10). But those tribes were not driven out (Josh. 15:63, 17:12-13).

Ezekiel said Egypt would be made an uninhabited wasteland for forty years (29:10-14), and Nebuchadrezzar would plunder it (29:19-20). Neither happened.

I posted this question as a "bait" to see how "smart" people are but I expected that YOU can see the bait.

It's not unusual for religious folks to dismiss the possibility of life arising spontaneously as a result of natural chemical processes, but we do know that amino acids, the building blocks of proteins in living organisms, are formed as a by-product of chemical processes that take place naturally in interstellar clouds of gas and dust. It is in the nature of atoms and molecules to bind together into more complex molecules in the presence of a source of energy - In this case, UV radiation. If amino acids can form spontaneously, by common chemistry, then why not more complex organic molecules? Why not, by chance, a self-replicating molecule? Why not, ultimately, life? Even if the chance occurrence of a self-replicating molecule is a very low probability event, what does that matter in a universe of a billion trillion suns and billions of years for chemistry to have its effect? And one such event might be all that's needed to kick-start life.

We live in fascinating times :-)

I have a very nonconventional form of spirituality. When I hear the word "God" I do not think of a big man with a white beard in the sky, or even any kind of concious being for that matter. Im pretty much athiest but I do believe in God. Just that God is all that exists and all of the laws that govern it are also God. What do you guys think of this. I definitely do not believe in a concious being that has created us and that we must worship it but I think that doing our part to keep the eco system thriving is what we are here to do.
