And if he is wrong or makes mistakes - and you must be pretty annoying to upset an angel to the stage where they rebel completely I would have thought, so what's the big deal about him being all seeing and doing, not to mention wonderful? he sounds falible to me. How can he hlep me put my house in order if he cannot do it for himself?

They say that no matter who you are God loves you. Even murderers get told "God loves you and forgives you if you just accept him."

Now, think about this, if it were possible could you doom your child/friend/anyone you know personally to spend an eternity in a fiery hell even if you only like them a little? Now what about the person you love. Could you do that then?

If God let's this happen, he does not love us, and we need to stop deluding ourselves.

I understand when female is a pro-choice. She is exercising her free will but what the f… is wrong with pro-hell ppl (pro-life)
According to Mathew bad tree produces bad seeds. SO if female decide to have an abortion than she is bad and only bad seeds can come from her. Also most ppl who are pro-choice are normal ppl (agnostics, non-believers etc…). So before hand we know those children’s besides who knows what earthly life they will have for sure will be tortured in eternal hell. It seems that those Christians who scream they are pro-life know that most of those born kids will be in hell before they even born. SO who do they work for, Devil? It looks like pro-life Christians doing part time job for devil. They want to populate hell. Even if few ppl will manage to get to heaven most of those ppl will ended up in hell. Unless Christians are pro-life only for Christians, and not for the rest of normal world. So to be a Christian means to be pro-hell?

This is kind of a funny story. I work in a setting w/ a lot of Jewish people, maybe 25%. I like & respect them. But I get asked an awful lot if I am Jewish. Or better yet, I just get asked how my Hannukah or Seder or Shabbat was (like I am so obviously Jewish they needn't even question it). Often, when I say" no" or "not at all", they say "Oh, well, you look it." (Jewish people would ask & say this 99% of time) or "Are you sure? You look it."

Ok, so I got married 1.5 years ag. I would say I used to get asked once a month.
So far (1.5 years), not once.

My new last name is very waspy sounding, English ,etc.

So the thing is, why do I "look" Jewish only w/ the "Jewish" last name (which was actually Austrian).

I think maybe sometimes people say you "look it" just because they feel a little foolish when they are wrong, and want to justify it. no?

Thanks & remember I love the Jewish people I work w/ I just find it amusing & odd!

I challenge you to scan the vast number of pages and keep score on who is attacking who........while there are some Christians who respond to provacation, the level of vitriol and malice is not proportional to the sheer volumes of posts that start out abusive and degenerate from there

I know humans have free will and are responsible for our actions and whatnot, but what about the things that are out of our control? Is God responsible for things like insomnia, schizophrenia, mental retardation, etc?

I propose it does not mean using it as a part of a swear word. Let's analyze why. "In vain" means failure or inability to do something. For example, "They tried in vain to find their car keys"
It also is the word vanity derives from. Vanity is a feeling of excessive pride. To think you are better than something else.

Here is what I propose now.
To take God's name in vain, REALLY means that you say you walk with God, but you don't. You say you follow Christ's path, but you don't. You tell everyone you are close to God when you don't even walk the path he has set out before you. You think because you know God that you are better than everyone else, you are taking God's name in vain to suit your own desires.

Who is with me on this interpretation?

Especially on yahoo answers... you get a few answers saying one thing, then you respond with another question asking about that response and then you get answers saying christians don't believe in that... then you ask about that belief, which you get people saying christians don't believe in that, that they believe in something else :S :S :S

I have a serious question about how people decide that abortion is murder in the early stages. I put it in religion because it seems like the conservative Christians are the biggest opposers of abortion.
But if you believe in birth control then you probably use condoms and maybe even spermicide condoms, which kills the sperm either way. If you're a woman and take the pill or get shots etc., you're killing the egg.
Now an early abortion in the first month is killing a zygote basically. It is a clump of cells that start to resemble some kind of alien eventually. But besides being shaped vaguely like a human, it doesn't have any organs, no nervous system (it can't see, hear, smell, taste, or feel), under the official definition it doesn't qualify as a living organism. My point is, if you can kill the egg and sperm seperately why can't you kill what is essentially just the egg and sperm combined? Destroying them seperately and destroying them together doesn't seem too different to me.

If you're a "pastafarian," and you worship the "FSM," wouldn't you consider that a deity, or a god that you worship? Then you can't be an atheist? How does that work?

They have there public toilets in my church. They have 3 doors and no bowl so you have to do you business on the floor. The problem is that there is carpet on the floor.

There is also a curtain so you can poop on the other people using the tiolet.

Well Fr. Ted just informed me that it wasnt a toilet but rather a confessional box, or something, anyway my question is this:

How do you get #2 out of carpet?
