I ask the question not to offend anyone, I respect everyones beliefs so please try to refrain from hateful comments. what if god was just the great wizard of oz, maybe he dosent even know why he is god, but knows that in order to have faith in him you must have faith in yourself? what if god was just a good friend at the end of the bar waiting for you to sober up, so he can take you home? He knows that you know the way, but from the blur of this life you have forgotten the directions. what if the meaning of god was not the meaning we suggest. what if the meaning of god was just to implie more of something that we cant understand?

There are some intelligent people here, and I'm wondering if any of you know why some people who are hell bent on suicide anyway, such as the Amish shooter, take innocents out with them.

To me that just seems like a cowardly, despicable act, yet it appears to be quite common.

Do any of you know the PSYCHOLOGY behind this?

Personal opinions?

Thanks for your time, and I put this in R&S because I like it here. You all give great answers.

I was wondering if you could help me to understand your view on this. I believe that the gifts of the Spirit operate in the church today, and have seen so much evidence that it's true, such as people giving me prophetic words that were so accurate and helped me in my relationship with God (they also did not go against the Bible, for those of you wondering about deception - sometimes it is just a verse in Scripture that someone feels the Lord has given them for me, and I know without a doubt that I needed to hear it at that time).

Anyway, I really just want to understand why people believe the gifts (such as tongues, prophecy, etc) died out. I'd also like to know where you got this information. It would be really helpful for me to understand this point of view on spiritual gifts.

Thank you.

If you see a prostitute in Vegas on the strip wearing hot pink hooker boots and a leopard print mini skirt, does this mean all women who wear hot pink hooker boots and leopard print mini skirts are prostitutes?

If you see a lady on the street going to the nightclub in this attire, do you assume she wishes to be sexually assaulted?

Do you assume she accepts money for sex based on this attire?

Are you justified in assuming whatever you do about this lady, and putting her down? When you don't even know her?

This will probably be your most irrelevant question today because it simply doesn't matter, however, when looking at the Bible it never indicates the age of "Adam" and "Eve". Logically, we would say that they were born adults to work the land, but God's care of Man was different before the Fall so perhaps that wasn't the main concern at the beginning. From a scientific standpoint, if Man emerged from a sort of genetic "goo" what was the incubator and what raised the first children if they were...well the firstborn EVER?

Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, JRD Tata, Dalai Lama, Dr.Martin Luthar King (jr), Nelson Mandela.

Would Allah not consider what they have done for society, humanity, nation and world, or the only benchmark for them destined to hell is being non muslims, so non believers..or so called "kafers" who are sure to get hell in afterlife..

Trinitarians try to prove the doctrine of Trinity using the illustration of vapor (steam), solid(ice) & liquid(water).
Remember God is a spirit (notice singular noun and verb is used (is & spirit) not (are & spirits). So if God is a Spirit therefore in that illustration He is only in the manifestation of “steam” (spirit) and not “ice’ & “water”. God’s Son is the one who became flesh and not God himself. So the illustration given is wrong.

What do you think?

All life appears to be designed, and evolutionists have failed to adequately explain why. Adaptation to environmental changes, mutations, and natural selection has not validated macroevolution. Louis Pasteur disproved spontaneous generation of life. Sir Fred Hoyle and Charles Wickramasinghe stated in their book, Evolution from Space, that “they estimated the probability of forming a single enzyme or protein at random, in a rich ocean of amino acids, was no more than one in 10 to the 20th power.” Next, they calculated the likelihood of forming all of the 2000+ enzymes used in the life forms of earth. This probability was calculated at one in 10 to the 40,000th power. They popularized the following cliché: “belief in the chemical evolution of the first cell from lifeless chemicals is equivalent to believing that a tornado could sweep through a junkyard and form a Boeing 747.”

a consist ant rational attitude of value towards life.
If you have the general love I defined, then you love everyone. There are different levels of love though and the most intimate love can't be rushed. One must really get to know the person.

The love at first sight is only an attachment to something you see, it's not really love. Even in Spanish we don't call this am or, we call it gusto. in other words, Love doesn't discriminate a life. It's constructive, not offensive.

I see this reason used quite often for many things that fundies say could not occur without some intelligence 'designing' things.
There are many spectacularly complex things that are made everyday through completely natural processes:
hurricanes, thunderstorms, tornadoes, snowflakes, ocean currents, fronts

None of these things require design, they occur because of natural phenomenon. So why is it such a stretch to think that things like DNA molecules, galaxies, and even our universe needed some intelligent hand to 'create' them?

And please don't give me the dr.dino DNA statistics. They are completely false, with no consideration of time or frequency.

Due to the radicals? I don't hate, or even dislike you or your faith. It's gets a bit tiring being called a heathen and a whore because I wear jeans and tee shirts as a female, but I can look past that. Many world leaders, and countless citizens of the world have a negative view about your religion. Moreso than most others. Muslims are on the TV and papers everyday blowing up people and buildings. Do the rest of you support their behavior? Or are you all going to help abolish this behavior internally? Do you claim these people as Muslims who conduct Jihad and terrorist acts? Don't take my word for it, facts speak for themselves:

Didn't he understand human nature and the confusion that would result from ambiguous scripture? For instance,

"He who loves his life loses it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life."

John 12:25

Couldn't there have been more detail and explanation or is that asking to much?

What is "evil"? I don't want answers like "murder is evil," or "it's really really bad," but what constitutes evil?

I believe evil is the lack of empathy.

Today two men hijacked a turkish plane in protest to the Pope's recent quotation stating that Islam uses the sword to resolve its problems as well as to make converts. Isn't it ironic the reaction still going on all because of one quote taken out of context.
