In 2 Cor 11: ....for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light. 15It is not surprising, then, if his servants masquerade as servants of righteousness.

Do you guys think people are lead astray by following half-truths that are offered by many religions ?

If God created Adam, Eve, and everything in the garden then did he create the serpent, aka the Devil? He had to since he created everything. So if God created the Devil, boy are we going to laugh big time when we find out at the end, aren't we? Atheists don't have to explain this question, we already know the answer but the Christians I feel will have a problem answering this question.

Please don't quote the bible to answer the question. I have already read it and it sounds to me like the serpent was already in the garden ready to jump on poor Eve the moment he got the chance. So if the serpent was already there then God created it along with the rest of the things in the garden.

If so, please share them with me. I'm constantly surrounded by manipulative people who betray or try to take advantage of me. I need protection and guidance on how to deal with this. If scriptures have not helped bring you some comfort, what has helped you get through times like this?

For christians, or people that believe in a higher power, do you believe that god:
1. Knows how you life is completely going to go from start to finish?
2.He leads you in certian paths in life, and gives you little nudges towards the right direction, and hopes you take his lead?

Hey young punks, I had to tone it down because they said I was too violent with my last question and took it off. Can you believe that YA Nazi BS? WTF?

I'll say it again, only nicer this time.

The maker wants me to let you know that he has authorized me to do some serious attitude adjusting for any of you sodomites. I may look old and feeble, but I'm stong and wiry for my 72 years. I could take you and teach you a lesson to two. It won't be pretty and let's just say that I'll be mopping up the floor with your punk @ss hair. It's called whoop @ss and it's what I do best in the name of the Lord! Amen.

Obviously atheists are not "religious" or "spiritual". Do they just want to dispute and try to belittle religious questions? If they don't believe in any kind of religion, why do they even care what is discussed here? Are they looking for more answers than atheism provides?

The products of Christianity are the BTK killer, Charles Manson, The Green River Killer, Jeffrey Dahmer, etc. What good is it, as a religion? Probably that group of soldiers who raped and killed that 14-year old girl in Iraq recently, were all from Christian households. Christian leaders have more than their share of child molesters. Seriously, this religion seems ineffective.

React with glee! Yeah! This PROVES that the Bible is a pile of BUNK!

OR

There MUST be a reasonable explanation for this APPARENT contradiction...the Bible is God's revelation of His will to mankind and a little HONEST research with an open mind will unravel the "contradiction." The Bible is NOT a piece of $h1t!!!!!

You love us too much, that is the true reason you haven't moved to another planet in your own private spaceships.

Deep inside your soul you do like Christian people, and would miss us if we weren't around.

Warning: This comment wasn't written for the purpose to hurt anyones feelings, nor to get long scientific reasons of why you haven't left planet Earth.

Please don't get mad at me.

I'm just curious, how much time of your day do you spend "thinking" of religion. I mean take into account, tv, shopping, cleaning the house, earning a living, taking your kids to the ballgame/beach/school, volunteering, spending time with friends etc. On a scale of 1-10, 1 being rarely and 10 being always, how do you rate and why?

My parents are Hindu but I believe that a God does exist in a diestic kinda way and if u live a good life u go to heaven and if u dont then sucks for u... Now all my Christian buddies tell me that I need to accept Jesus as my Lord and what not to go to heaven. What if right when I am about to die I say "Jesus, I believe" but my whole life I didnt and I just lived a good Christian life without any major sins... Will I go to heaven??

I have seen these flags hanging at some residences and churches. Peace is in english, the hebrew letters for shalom is on there, it looks like there is peace in a mediterannian language, etc. I have looked on many different websites for peace flags and this particular one is not shown. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

I have frequent sexual fantasies about my Pastor. He has a wife and kids and he says that homosexuality is wrong, but I can't deny how I feel about him. When he was on a trip recently, he trusted me to water his plants and feed his cat. When I was at his house, I tried on some of his clothes and took a pair of his dirty underwear out of the hamper. I like to bury my face in his underwear and inhale his scent as I pleasure myself. Should I tell him what I have done? I am afraid that he will not forgive me and that he will throw me out of the church, and I especially don't want to have to give the underwear back. I'm so confused. What should I do?

I read this in John 14:

21Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one who loves me. He who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I too will love him and show myself to him."
22Then Judas (not Judas Iscariot) said, "But, Lord, why do you intend to show yourself to us and not to the world?"

23Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. 24He who does not love me will not obey my teaching. These words you hear are not my own; they belong to the Father who sent me.
