Do you really feel that we of faith treat our beliefs like a hobby? Seperate from other areas of our lives? My faith is who I am and how I live ALL areas of my life. Just as you live by your personal beliefs so do we. I am sure that this applies to most if not all people of other faiths too. So why should I hide or keep secret my faith?

when a person of one faith attacks a person of another faith the first person cries foul the loudest when the second person fights back? ...(corezink)
i think it's a bit hypocritical of someone to whine about something if they did indeed instigate it in the first place.

Came upon this quote recently:

"The trouble is that God in this sophisticated, physicist's sense bears no resemblance to the God of the Bible or any other religion. If a physicist says God is another name for Planck's constant, or God is a superstring, we should take it as a picturesque metaphorical way of saying that the nature of superstrings or the value of Planck's constant is a profound mystery. It has obviously not the smallest connection with a being capable of forgiving sins, a being who might listen to prayers, who cares about whether or not the Sabbath begins at 5pm or 6pm, whether you wear a veil or have a bit of arm showing; and no connection whatever with a being capable of imposing a death penalty on His son to expiate the sins of the world before and after he was born."-Richard Dawkins, world famous ethologist, evolutionist, and author of the book "The God Delusion"

Is this a logical argument? What do you think?

Every day it ends up being this big fight. And people ask questions trying to insult everyone else.


I'm begging you all, can't we try and get along?

Are you really entertained insulting one another?


I'm not, lets have an intellectual discussion on here when we ask these questions, ask some good questions please.

It would be more entertaining.

I'm just so sick of everyone insulting everyone. Get a grip act like an adult.

I understand why many do not want religion taught or endorsed in school, I agree with that stance, but why are many American children denied the right to practice and wear signs of their faith? Is that not their right as well? This applies to Muslimas who are not allowed to wear hijab, Christians who cannot wear Crosses/Crucifixes, and all other faiths as well?

Is it because they cannot get their children to listen to them, so they want the school to take responsibility for raising their children? Are their kids so undisciplined that they cannot get them to go to church or even teach them the tenets of their religion and therefore want the school to do it for them?

Do they mean others don't believe in god or just non-believers in their flavour of insanity?

Seeking info from anyone who can offer info on living in Turkey, my husband hasnt lived there in about 10 years so its a realistic and scary thought for us all but inevitable to keep our family together after 10 years of marriage keeping our family together is the most important but very difficult especially when dealing with other family members and there concerns and thoughts and ours as well.
knowing what has to be done can be very difficult and doing it is even more.
note: Me and the children have also never ventured outside the USA so you can only imagine.
So Please send me your thoughts and ideas

The ultimate aim of satan is to destroy every human being. John 10 v 10. He wants us to follow a path that leads to destruction.
To that end, he tries to PREVENT anyone coming to faith in Jesus Christ!
The Bible says: "The god of this age (satan) has BLINDED the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel. (2 Corinthians 4 v 4.

I am wondering.....if YOU - (unbelievers) - know this?

Ya'll hoop and holler about there's no scientific proof for God; but theirs plenty of believers around the globe who have experienced blessings and miracles. How do you explain away (if I can remember right) the man in Africa a few years ago that was brought back to life. The professional doctors and coreners had pronouced him to be dead, and the corener had removed all his bodily fluids (blood and everything) and pumped him full of preserving fluids so his body could be used for the funeral.
But the man's friends and family prayed for him, and to the astonishment of the corener(or whoever happened to be around his body at the time)the man rose up and came back to life.

How do you explain to the blind man who recieved sight via Jesus that his miracle isnt real?Or a deaf man that revieves his sight via Jesus that what he experienced was smoke and mirrors.Uh!? Explain theese away please

And I myself am a miracle;doctors told my parents I would die;but Im here today.
Explain?

Following up from an earlier question from someone else and prompted by someone elses answer,

what scientific proof? If you say the Bible, my reaction is that is a book written by a human being. The fact that it says God wrote it doesn't persuade me, other books say the same thing.

If you say the universe is "complex" and requires a creator, thats just not a scientific statement.

My question stands I really want to read some great answers.

How can god be "all-powerful" and yet allow the world to exist full of evil? I know this question has been posed before, and most people respond with the free will arguement. I'm a Christian myself, and I have my own ideas about this, but I was wondering what other people thought. If God is truly all-powerful, should he not be able to design a world which incorporated both goodness and free will? If he's all powerful, he should have the power to go beyond the powers of the universe, right?
