What reasons are there for the anger, ridicule and disrepect I see so often on this web site.................if there is a power higher than ourselves wouldn't that sadden them to see how we treat each other

I urge users of the site to dialogue with respect........axe grinding is so not classy

I was just reading some answers to a question and someone said something I have often heard before. That without God life is just meaningless pleasure. (one version of how I have heard it)

When I look at my beautiful daughter it means so much.

When I make someone smile or laugh it means so much.

When I look at the beauty of nature it means so much.

When I hear of someone risking their lives to help others it means so much.

I do not know if there is a God or not, but I don't understand how one can say that there is no meaning without a God.

I mean in Islam, we have the "hijab" or headscarf and all of the woman's body must be covered except the face and the hands. Do you have a similar thing in christianity? A limit or something? For example, can a conservative christian girl wear bikini in public?

Hello. I am an adult over 30 and I want to be adopted by other parents.
Does anyone know in what country this is allowed by law and how can I find other parents that could be interested?
(I don't want a foundation or an agency.)
I want a parish priest who knows people, a small community.
Does anyone know about such a case?
I need parents about 60 years of age=natural age.
I am not interested in their fortune only as family.Of course I could help them too.
Could anyone help me?

...is a waste of breath.

Do evangelists have to take a course on disrespecting the dead when they preach Revelations 21:8, or does it come naturally?

I meet women in Church and other social events, I would enjoy to meet a good Christian or Catholic woman to play on-line crib, Its a fun game and you can really get to know the person.

How would it change your faith and the way you live your life if you viewed Jesus as mythological instead of a man?

There is strong evidence that Jesus never existed in the flesh, but was a branch of Mythraism (practiced in well established and stable form for 600 years before Jesus was supposedly born).

1. From a historical standpoint, Jesus's life can not be verified by any documents or first hand accounts written during the time he was supposed to be alive. (The bible is not a historical document, and even if it was, it was written 4 generations after Jesus's death).

2. Mythraism was well established in the area by 600 BCE. Mythra was born of a virgin on December 25th, visited by 3 wise men, was worshipped as the sun god made flesh, died to redeem men's souls on March 21st, and 3 days later was resurrected in a cave. The practices of his church, including baptism, communion with bread and wine, and no physical idols was established 600 years before the birth of Jesus.

Why do they get so offended when you make a joke about jesus?

For example. "Why can't jesus eat M&M's?"
"Because they keep falling through his hands"

What I want to ask here isn't your problem. What is the name of this site and what is it for? The purpose of this site is to ask questions to get knowledge. This section isn't exclusive for people who love to criticize other people's believes. You can also ask good informative questions, you know.

If I have a fascination with the Jews, with Greek History or Pork, it isn't your problem. Do you have a problem if I am a Jew lover, but also have a fascination with pork?

Mind your own business lol.

I saw an episode of 30 days where an atheist lived with a religious christain family for a week. they seemed to havea tough time understanding what atheism is all about, which strikes me as odd as atheism is about nothing at all. but anyway, would you try to at least imagine things from an atheist point of view?

I have found that doing this once in a while has helped me understand my religion better and has actually helped me feel more connected to my family.

if a man grows up his entire life believing in God but still does what he wants to do. Then one day excepts Christ into his Heart and Confesses and asks for forgivness for his sins. Then the Very next Day commits Suicide. Does he still go to Heaven?

for the disbelief in a secondary resourse. We have nothing but the word of priests who lived 2000 years after the teachings and miracles of Christ. Shouldn't god send us another sign to lead us on the true path, or must we blindly follow some religion because we were told so from a gullible childhood?
