(I have been thinking a lot about religion lately. Specifically, how interesting it is that there are so many religions in the world. Obviously many people believe there is a higher power, but the different forms are interesting to me. )

My question is, how can people claim to be christians without reading the bible. My husband was very insistant on getting our son baptized, however asked me sarcastically what I was doing when I was reading the bible. Why is there such a stigma on reading the bible? Isn't that what teaches up what Christianity is all about? What are your thoughts?

My husband is Catholic, however he could not answer this question so I am posting it here...

What does it say about nuns in the bible, if anything. How do the women know it's ok to be the bride of Christ? I am totally confused about the whole thing.

What is your take on this break in the infamous JonBenet Ramsey case? Is this her true kidnapper/killer, or just an insane pedophile obsessed with the case?

Does anyone still think her parents and/or other family member(s) had something to do with the murder?

Or Phil Collins? Was it just another day in paradise. In this Land of Confusion, should I follow you, follow me. Did the shamans Wish it would rain down upon them? Does god have an invisible touch and tell jesus he was no sone of mine? Are some people in too deep and feel like they are against all odds? What about the hippies and their groovy kind of love, did they speak out "jesus he knows me" Can I spend One more night at my home by the sea. When will I find my true colors and be able to know that I have the ability myself to say Take me home, and it will happen?

Okay, I had the paper at one point and lost it...
Shortest verse: i just saw, JESUS WEPT.
Longest verse, Psalms...
But something about, Jesus/ God has a message for us and it is in the very middle of the Bible or something.
THANK YOU

He is very masculine he has a huge personality and ego. At times he is wrathful and vengeful- I have heard he has condoned mass murder he is prone to violence and has engaged in genocide. He is easily displeased and that is kind of scary. He says he once murdered every human and animal on the planet save for a few on a boat, but I am thinking he is just trying to impress me.
He is a bit insecure and he needs total worship and devotion, I am so not into that. But he requires it and if he doesn’t receive it he will banish me far, far away where I will be tortured and burned. Eeeeek.
I want to have children someday but he doesn’t have the best track record there, he murdered his own son to prove he loved us, I don’t know if I am okay with that. I think there has got to be another way. He also said it was okay to sell your daughter as a sex slave (Exodus) and to beat her with a stick as long as she recovers in a few days. Hmmmm. Not the best parent, okaaaaay.
He can be fickle, judgmental, arbitrary and needy.
He did say I could see other people, I think he called it free will, but with his track record I am afraid to. He can be a bit jealous.
Oh and he is invisible.

So, do I give this guy my number or what?

Most religous people believe that the lord will either arrive, or return depending on their particular faith. They all agree that someone will come. But I have yet to hear WHERE that person will arrive. Do you think they'll show up at CNN headquarters so they can let everyone know or will they show up in Sascatchawon? Maybe they'll return to the middle east. Where will the return take place?

In Revelation, there are two prophets who are beheaded on Live TV and they come back to life after 3 days, just like the Left Behind books say...

Do you think that those Fox News people who got captured are going to be the two Witnesses???

There are so many people on here that do not believe in God. I was wondering if something significant happened in your lives that caused this disbelief?

Are athiests trying to save me?
Why would an athiest come on here except to save me from my foolish belief in God? Aren't you really just being hypocritical by saying that Christians are trying to save you when you're basically trying to save us too?

Do you believe that God really created a man, and then made a woman from that man. Then that man and woman ate a piece of fruit because a snake convinced them to which made god hate them so much that he punishes all of their decendants forever? And then there was a big ol flood and only one family was saved and somehow the world was repopulated by that one family...

If you do then why do **YOU** believe it? Notice the emphasis. Don't say "because it's in the bible" because that's not why YOU believe it. What justifies the story in YOUR mind?

An inspiration in the terms of what humanity is capable of? Not the sin and being saved part, but his abilities? Are we capable of being able to be Jesus' equals? Should we try?
