The villain tht goes by the name of Oderus is spreading heresay and rumors! It is evil, and all tht spread tht blasphemy, according to the Gospel of the FSM, WILL NOT GET THE VOLCANO AND STRIPPER! (not to mention they are doing nothing to help the global warming problem.) I, one of the devout followers of his noodly appendage, have decided it is time to launch crusades on one of a strongly Oderus influenced cities, Winchestertonville, Iowa! Who will stand with me and act as the Noodly one's earthly appendage? Who will destroy the moronic, decieved, followers of Oderus...Who will stand with me? Jerusalem..I mean Winchestertonville, Iowa will burn in the flames of FSM's wrath!!!! And once we capture the town we will put all the followers of Oderus into a gas chamber and burn their bodies in ovens!!! So, What say you?!? WHO WILL STAND WITH ME?

Did god not forsee Adam eating the fruit? Did God set up this world to be a perfect paradice for us to live on for all eternity in perfect bliss; only to create man and on the first shot have him screw it all up ad usher in pain, suffering, and death.

or

Was the fall of Adam the first nessesary step towards salvation, and returning to live with God? And by eating the fruit, Adam did a very noble and nessesary decision, knowing that we could never know Happiness with out Sadness, and we could never die, and be resurected to go to heaven and live with God; With out death there could be no salvation from death.

On a side note.
Since God married Adam and Eve before death was ushered into the world, does that mean God intends for Marriage to be everlasting, and not just "Till death do you part."

for pre-teens or teens to start questioning their beliefs, correct? they're going through different times, and start wondering a lot more, and i was just wondering if it was natural.

and i'm wondering if parents are usually hard or do not accept their child/childrens' religion if it happens to conflict or not be their own, and try and force them to believe what they do?

i hope that made sense.

As Christians, we can easily say we are in love with God and totally committed to God from the comfort of our homes where the worst we face in persecution is from either people on this board or possibly a nasty comment.

But what if we were in a place where being a christian and staying firm for the cause of Christ could mean death, torture, or slavery? What if being a Christian would mean not being able to buy or sell to survive or possibly executed for our faith?

How do we get to the point that we will stay firm to the end in our relationship with God? That no matter what befalls us we will not reject Jesus?

I had this weird dream that there were a bunch of people staying at our house and the house was so crowded, they was not much room for people to sleep. (this has happened in real life, where we have had to sleep on a couch or sleeping bag)

The people staying at my house were family friends, my father's friends, and my mothers side of the family. The guy I like is a family friend's son so he stayed too, except he had recently become a cross-dresser. (in my dream, not real life) I never in a million years would have thought that, but I respected his decision and so did everyone else.

I only wanted and only ate honey dew melon. That's all I can remember from my dream. So do you think you could interpret it, or find the meaning of this weird dream please???

If the flying spaghetti monster does not exist, than how do you explain the decreasing number of pirates to the increasing problem of Global warming? Surely this is not a coincedence...Just use your noodles. Global warming up=pirates # down. It is not tht difficult. I am tired of all you ignorant atheists saying something that makes no since. (also be aware that any flaw you find in this is actually just put in place by the FSM himself to throw off non-believers) Plz..I really care about you guys finding the light and the true creator. How else will you get your beer volcano and stripper?

"you need to really want it, so if you never had it, you really deep down didnt really sincerely want it"

I wonder if it ever occured to the dim wits that say this stuff how offensive this is....

I see, so your imagined pshytzo relationship with Mr Hand, or God...whoever, is real cause your heart was more pure than the poor soul who is to damn honest to "pretend"by playing along and talking and walking with Mr Hand like you.

How condescending...its the little "spirtual level" game the religious peoplesss like to play. Keep wanting it more deeply and truely and purely...and if its not-a-comin, well, obviously your hearts not pure or you dont really want it. What a hillarious viscious circle.

You can have Mr. Hand....I will take reality.

My philosophy is that it makes no difference which religion you have, as long as it works for you then that's great. I could care less what people believe or don't believe, just as long as they don't try to tell me I'm wrong or try to impress their ideas onto me. So for those of you who do those things, why do you do it?


Furthermore, you atheists who accuse believers of being brainwashed, why do you care? And you believers who accuse atheists of being immoral, why do you make such a rash generalization?

How can there be an angel of death, Michael, if in Hebrews 2:14 it says that Satan holds the power of death? Is it really the devil that ends our lives when our time comes, I always thought it was God calling us home? Please no answers mocking any type of faith, I am in search of some insight, thank you.

Do you follow the Lord because He is good? Or because you want to go to heaven? What if there had been no promise of heaven? Or what if there is a promise of heaven, but you have to do BAD things?

Please don't take offense. I've wanted to ask this question for a while. Thanks.

For example...
Four Catholic ladies are having coffee together. The first one tells her friends, "My son is a priest. When he walks into a room, everyone calls him 'Father'."
The second Catholic woman chirps, "My son is a Bishop. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your Grace'."
The third Catholic woman says smugly, "My son is a Cardinal. Whenever he walks into a room, people say, 'Your Eminence'."
The fourth Catholic woman sips her coffee in silence. The first three women give her this subtle "Well.....?"
She replies, "My son is a gorgeous, 6'2", hard bodied stripper. When he walks into a room, people say, 'Oh my God...'."

I am very interesting in learning more about Buddhism. I have read many books on the subject and I don't know where to go from here. How would I learn more about the practises, especially meditation? There are no temples close by and those that I do know of I'm not sure what type of Buddhism they offer. Is there a lot of difference between the different types? Which have you found more helpful and why?

I work in a clerical position at a medical clinic. I have applied for another position as a authorization/referral coordinator. I have recently given my life back to Lord and have been praying about the job. I thought of something today that is causing me to think twice though. Processing referrals and authorizations for patients to get abortions would be something that may be included in my duties. Even now, I get calls from people wishing to abort and I have to transfer their call to this particular department. As a Christian, would it be wrong for me to take this job, since I would be involved in contributing to someone performing this evil procedure? Please only answer if you are a Christian. No offense to anyone else, but I am seeking advice from a Christian viewpoint.

this is a statement not a question, but you are free to say whatever you'd like.

I'm atheist and I'm sorry for making any others mad here. We should realize though that this forum has descended to a vicious circle. Atheists diagree with a religion and debate it, then Christians or Islamics, or for that matter other Monotheists say we go to hell and we keep insulting each other. But can't we just stop?

Being told that we have a demon in our hearts doesn't make us want to be Christian, we atheists do not wish to deny Christ. And personally Christ was a wise man in my eyes. But I do not believe he is the Messiah. When you say that we are told that we are doomed to hell, and I don't care what people say, that stings at least slightly. Who wants to be damned to hell after all?

So sorry. For my own mistakes and my own intolerance.

ROFLMAO I want a real explanation of this belief NOT a bible verse. I ask that you explain your own understanding of why you think God cares if we have a good time alone. Wasting sperm doesn’t work because women don’t waste anything and my body can make more very quickly (it isn’t even human life it only has ½ the DNA required). I can not understand why something that brings pleasure and harms no one AND has absolutely no consequences is a sin.
1+1=FISH asked if it was a sin and I was suprised at the response, now I want to know why.

...have a problem applying that to our deceased loved ones?

According to the Bible, it is no less true for the dead than the living.

So why do you not acknowledge that you are asking people to worship a god who, according to your scripture (Revelations 21:8), sent their deceased loved ones to Hell?
