I ask this question in response to people who think knowing and agreeing with there religions metaphysical ideas is more important than focusing on loving there neighbor as themselves. For many it is about the fear of hell, or being in judgment of others than it is about true caring itself. I believe God couldn’t give two hoots about our metaphysical ideas of him/her/it compared to how we treat should treat creation, from our spiritual hearts.

I mean obviously only for [ENTER RELIGION HERE].

How many innocent children is it okay to kill before God gets mad?

Would it be better to do away with religion like at http://flushaholybook.com and not allow religious justifications for war?

So, I was just sitting here at the desk, eating my multi-flavored Jelli-Beans, contemplating life when I decided to ask this after seeing so many examples of it. Do you believe most Christians use the lord (or bible) as their weapon? Do you disagree? Elaborate...

I was sworn in at court a few years ago & the woman actually watched to see if I put my hand on the bible...what if I had a different religion or don't practice any at all?

I'm in Canada...maybe it's different in other countries.

I find that there are invisible forces around us, and I wonder where they really come from, or what manipulates it all.
do you believe in Karma?
I had experiences, even little ones: I used to spit gum on the ground all the time until one day I was driving on the highway and my flip-flop got stuck on the gas pedal. I couldn't get it off. Luckily, I just took my foot out and then pressed the break. Since then, I never spit my gum out.

This is going to make a lot of people mad but i better ask it. -_-;
I dont want to give up having sex. I've lost my virginity when I was 18 but I didn't have vaginal intercourse. I dont' believe it's "wrong" and that God said for us to wait until marriage to have sex to prevent "baby momma drama" if you know what i mean.
Please enlighten me with advice or even some scriptures :)

As long as our Prophet Muhammad (SWT) lived among the Ummah it was Islam who was leading the Ummah – And Soon after the death of Prophet(SWT) it was Ummah who was leading the Islam and at the terms of their own.- And the direction set by Ummah for Islam only led it to division and hatred and terrorism – And Islam which is more known today as the religion of Hijackers and suicide bombers and Oops! Not to forget “ Terrorists “ as this may find disturbing to some mentioning Islam without honoring the Terrorists! See More Details and Cast your vote:

When I was in grade school we were allowed to celebrate Halloween. Now, public school kids can't dress up anymore because some religions are offended. I think that bollocks! If those parents don't celebrate Halloween, keep your children at home on October 31st or whenever the school would have costume day. Why do they have to ruin it for the rest. We let them into our countries and how do they repay us? My making us change our Western traditions.

Some grade schools can't even decorate for Christmas now!!

After he accused creationism of actually having no evidence for its assertions, but instead only attempts to poke holes in evolution.

(disproving evolution does not constitute proof of creationism, folks)

He got a number of answers.
Either creationists said that they have evidence, but somehow forgot to present it! (strange, huh?)

Or what did they do?

They tried to poke holes in evolution, calling that evidence for creationism!
That level of idiocy is hysterical!!!!
That is what he accused creationists of doing, and to prove him wrong...
They DID IT AGAIN!


someone needs to find the science teachers of these creationists and slap them. They cheated their students out of an education.

did anyone else notice this and laugh?

I know this question is asked often but I just want to know, why is being homosexual so wrong in Christianty? A homosexual can't help being attracted to the opposite sex. There is no way to "correct" that because it is going against their feelings. I could never imagine living life not being able to be true to myself and who I am attracted to or love.
Did God say that a "man shall not lie with another man" to prevent STDs or AIDS? Help...

with so many religions beliving in diffrent gods and differant ways to worship him, how do you know which one is true? for example ask a jew and he will say his god is the true god and there way is right, ask a christian and he will say the same thing about his religion.... they all have asmuch faith in there god as the next religion and all is based on a book called the bible. is differant religions just differnt peoples view on this book? if so how do you know your religion has it right over any other religion?

Is this the "life of the spirit" that the New Testament admonishes you to live? Is it not just a return to "the law" ("following the rules")?

Can't you learn all about what God wants from you if you just listen to the Holy Spirit within you? Or do you not really know how? Quoting Bible verses incessantly only makes people think you don't know for yourself what you're talking about.

this question is for anti-abortionists, but pro-choice can answer too. please be respectful in your responses. this is a legitamate request for a real answer.

according to this publication 2006:
http://www.guttmacher.org/presentations/ab_slides.html

in 2002 there were 1.3 million abortions in the u.s.
of the women
70% identified as christian (protestant, catholic, evangelical, and born again)
22% none
8% other

it seems like religion isn't having much effect on the decision not to abort.

HIGH rates of abortions still happen in the countries who illegalize it (nigeria, mexico, brazil, dom. rep., chile, peru). it doesn't stop it from happening, it just makes it unsafe. it also results more abandoned children. with this knowledge in mind, illegalizing it doesn't seem to be a realistic or healthy solution to the problem.

a good portion of abortion cases use contraceptives, though not always correctly. many happen in steady relationships and in ones that already have chlidren.
