Do you recycle? And if not, why not? I try to recycle and not be wasteful, but its pretty difficult sometimes.

P.S. Prosteletyzers please butt out.

“When you buy a Hebrew slave, six years shall he serve; and in the seventh shall he go out free, for nothing. If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. If his master has given him a wife, and she has borne him sons or daughters, the wife and the children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. And if the slave shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: then his master shall bring him unto God, and he shall bring him to the door or unto the door-post, and his master shall bore his ear through with an awl, and he shall be his slave forever.”

—Exodus 21:2-6.

We haven't been in touch in a while since I stopped going to church after I stopped believing in God. The Church I went to was one of those very devout ones. Out of respect for him I want to attend the services but I'm afraid that it will look really odd that I'm not fully participating in all the praying and other stuff. I really don't want to attract attention to myself but I'm afraid I will since everyone else will be all into their God and stuff. Should I just sort of go along and pretend that I'm praying?

Hello

Im interested to know if you can observe how the popularity of religion waxes and wanes as you look at a cross section of society?

for example how are variables such as age, class, education and even race associated with 'belief'

Furthermore, to what extent has religion declined in modern europe?

Many thanks!

This may seem like I'm whining a bit here, but Christians help me out! I'm usually in church, I pray (most times) I admit I'm not the best christian, I wish I was, I don't pay my tithes correctly, but I do try to give something. I got a crummy job with crummy pay after searching for three years. Money slips through my hands like running water, I have horrible thoughts. My problem, I think God just plain out dosen't like me

Do I just give up and realize Christianity isnt for me, or that I can't do any better? I see other people who don't go to church at all they seem fine (which I know is not all true). Do I choose to stay and fight or come to the realization church and trying to lead a Christian life just isn't for me?

Real people here with real answers, no silliness, I got enough problems as it stands.

I was wondering for all you non believers , when the day comes and you die and you come face to face with Jesus, what will you say to him as for why you never believed?
You would rather believe that the last thing you will ever do is ride in a hurse? Then to believe you will spend an eternity with a God who loves you unconditionaly?

Why even be reading these question about God and so on. If you already have your mind set. Why even bother answering Christian questions about angels, etx? Why hate God if God really does not exist in the first place? Why hate some thing that is not even real??

1.) Why would an all-knowing, all-powerful being -- someone who needs nothing and lacks nothing -- want and demand our devotion and praise? Why would he even bother creating other beings? Again, as a perfect being, he can't be lonely (it would imply he lacked something), and he can't hope to learn anything new (he already knows it all)...

2.) If Jesus was willing to appear before his disciples and show them his injuries to prove his resurrection, why won't he do the same for me? Is it fair that he doesn't offer everyone equal evidence (and thus, and equal chance at salvation)?

3.) People attribute all sorts of miraculous cures and healings to God; but why won't God heal amputees?

4.) Punishment on earth usually serves two purposes: deterrent and rehabilitation. But if people in Hell will never be let out, and people in Heaven will be incapable of sinning, and no one has any hard evidence of Hell's existence, what's the point of Hell?

[Kanye West]
My homie Mali used to stay, 79th and May
One of my best friends from back in the day
Down the street from Calumet, a school full of stones
He nicknamed me K-Rock so they'll leave me alone
Bulls jacket with his hat broke way off
And walked around the mall with his radio face off
Plus he had the spinner from his Daytons in his hand, keys in his hand
Reason again to let you know he's the man
Back when we rocked Alieses, he had dreams of Caprices
Drove by the teachers, even more by polices
How he get the cash the day his father passed away
Left him with a lil somethin, 16 he was stuntin'
"Al B. Sure" ***** with the hair all wavy
Hit Lakeshore, girls go all crazy
Hit the freeway, go at least bout 80
Boned so much that summer, even had him a baby
See back back then then if you had a car
You was the Chi-Town version of Baby
And I was just a virgin, a baby
One of the reasons I looked up to him crazy
I used to love play my demo tape when the system yanked
Felt like I was almost signed when the **** got cranked
We'll take a Saturday and just circle the mall
They had they Lincoln's and Aurora's, we was hurtin 'em all
With the girls alot of flirtin' involved but dog..
**** all that flirtin', I'm tryin' to get in some drawers, so
Put me on with these hoes homie
He told me, "Don't rush to get grown, drive slow homie"

[Chorus: Kanye West]
Drive slow, homie
(Drive slow)
You never know, homie
About these hoes homie
You need to pump your brakes and drive slow, homie

[Verse 2: Paul Wall]
What it do?
I'm posted up in the parking lot, my trunk wavin
The candy gloss is immaculate, its simply amazing
Them elbows pokin wide on that candy 'Lac
Trunk open, screens on, neon's lit with 5th relaxed
I'm on a mission for dime pieces and sexy ladies
Allow me to introduce you to my CL Mercedes
It's a star-studded event when I valet park
Open up my mouth and sunlight illuminates the dark
You see them 4's crawlin, you see them screens fallin
The disco ball in my mouth insinuates I'm ballin'
I'm leanin on the switch, sittin crooked in my slab
But I could still catches boppers if I drove a cab
A young Houston hard-hitter all about the scrilla
Ridin' somethin' candy-coated crawlin' like a caterpillar
I'm tippin' on them 4's, I'm jammin' on that Screw
I'm lookin' for them hoes baby, what it do

[Chorus: Kanye West] (GLC)
Drive slow, homie
(Turn your hazard lights on when you see them hoes)
Drive slow, homie
(If you ridin' around the city with nowhere to go)
Drive slow, homie
(Live today, cause tomorrow man, you never know)
You never know, homie
Might meet some hoes, homie
You need to pump your brakes and drive slow, homie

[Kanye West]
My car's like the movie, my car's like the crib
I got mo TV's in here than where I live

[GLC]
And that don't make no sense, but baby I'm the ****
And everything I flip, you know it's somethin serious
I got the custom grill, I got the Bravis rims
I got the baller genetics baby this evidence
You see a player flickin', and how you ain't convinced
That you should go on and kiss it, just a lil bit (just a lil bit)
I wearin my custom kicks, I got my Jesus chain
My canary's is gleamin', through my angel wings
They see me, hoes actin' like they seen a king
With that mean lean, smokin on that finest Cali green
My woodgrain oak, I'm ridin on Vogues
My cylinder quiet, like tip-toes
I sold O's, and this I know
When you see them hoes, lil homie drive slow *echoes*

(Tony Williams harmony ad-libs)

[T.I.]
Lookin' at the life through my rearview, all the problems I had
Could be seen alot clearer after time had passed
Known for livin' so fast, they wonder how he don't crash
With 220 on the dash, he constantly mashin'
(Why don't he slow down?) They be constantly askin'
But me in the fast lane is like metal and magnets
Now I ain't tryna say that it's the way of the masses
But it, so hard to change, I love this **** with a passion
Since me and Sigel cuttin' classes, showin' our ***
Shootin' out in broad day in the middle of traffic
I remember sellin' crack faster than I could bag it
A shame I ain't playin' with you shorty, I ain't braggin'
Me and Cap got life, some other folk got blasted
Had a partner OD'd and after this all happened
It's like the only thing that kept a pimp from cryin' and laughin'
And the Lord smiled on me at the end of the madness
I never thought that I'd make it this far rappin'
For introducin' the youth to what we now call trappin'
Considered now a classic, who'da imagined?
Me in Milano, gettin' models in next year's fashions
So nowadays, they can call me old fashioned
But it's way too much cash to see blue lights flashin'
So I guess the moral of this here class is
Life about who make it now not about who make it the fastest

Drive slow homie
Dri, uh dri slowly

They worship both Allah and make an idol out of the Quran. And since the penalty for insulting Muhammad is death (just like insulting Allah), you could argue that they worship and have three Gods. You don't get the death penalty for insulting any ordinary human being, but you get it for insulting any one of their three gods.

It is often requested by theists for non-theists to prove the non-existence, or disprove the existence of their god. This as we all should know is impossible. You can only prove the existence of things, not the non-existence of things.

Here is an exercise for you to understand this. Try your best.
