When I was in school many children were allowed to be excused from classes that conflicted with their faith or not required to answer. Such as evolution, Sex ed, and some P.E. There were also those exempt from the Pledge of Allegiance. Should not these children be allowed the same as regards their right to their faith? This is a matter of opinion so all answers are welcome and encouraged.

I kind of think alot do. They keep saying peace, peace, but meanwhile they mean anything but, or they condone pure cowardice. He has said "Do not think that I have come to bring peace but, I have come to divide--a Mother will be against her daughter and a Son against his Father. " I have learned that there is much truth in the proverb " Rebuke a fool and he will despise you "

Intelligent Design is not science, nor is it a scientific theory. Niether is anything having to do with religion or the Bible. As much as creationist would like it to be it's not.
Intelligent Design is not a theory for many reasons the least of which is that it predicts nothing.
Scientific Theory:
A set of statements or principles devised to explain a group of facts or phenomena, especially one that has been repeatedly tested or is widely accepted and can be used to make predictions about natural phenomena.
Ok. got that?
Please stop trying to confuse the issue.

I am a mathmatics graduate student and I need hard facts, not touchy-feely "my book says right here that..." assumptions. It seems like people that "know" God, know everything about God...So? If I were to die right now by a sudden and unforseeable cattle stampede because some idiot cowboy decided to smoke "the reefer" on the job, what is the percentage that I would get to heaven.

Let me rephrase the question, because I know I'm going to get a lot of "Well, are you a good person? do you praise God everyday?" That isn't what I'm asking. In today's world, I need to know if 1,000,000 people suddenly died in a strange, but somehow funny, metropolitan/marine manure accident during the lunch hour involving a medium scale earthquake, a tidal wave, and several bulk freighters carrying cow poo...How many people would actually get to heaven (on average based on society's current standards)... Is it approximately 450,432? 700,428? 4? What?

Near Future!!! World War 3?
Ill make this short. As you can see NK tested its nuke. Iran is making nukes also, with Russia's intelligence. This is how its going to happen. U.S. and its allies attacks NK. NK nuke Japan, then NK getting wooped and calling for its allies Russia, China, to help and Russia's and U.S's with over 50 nukes alone will blow this planet into pieces lol!!

world war 3 has already begun just waiting for things to heat up.then someone will snap and nuke, if the middle east (Iran, etc)gets a hold of the nuke theyll use it without hesitation! Then all hell break loose! CAN'T WAIT! lol

ALSO north korea facing sanctions! and now more! North korea economy will be corrupt but if this happens most likely North korea will sell its nuclear bomb to Iran (second largest oil maker) MUAHAHAHAH

I am muslim myself and believe that everyone should be entitled to their own freedom of expression whether it be wearing the hijab, niqab, cross, or turban. I think there is a great misunderstanding and people easily result to extreme views instead of stopping and thinking in the middle

Entry for October 10, 2006 CRYSTAL HELPS ME!!!!!
THIS IS ME(MARIA) AND MY BEAUTIFUL AND VERY SMART DAUGHTER {CRYSTAL}.

WE WERE HAVING FUN AT LINVILLE FALLS, NC. CAVERNS NEAR BY.

FRED, BRAD AND BRADLEY WERE ALSO WITH US. IT GOT SO HOT THAT WE TOOK A LITTLE WADE IN THE WATER. CRYSTAL USED HER T-SHIRT TO MAKE A HAIR RESTRANT!! SHE DOES THE COLLEST STUFF. NOW WHO SOUNDS YOUNGER? IAM THE TEEN!!! LOL.

TODAY CRYSTAL HAS DONE SOME RESEARCH ON SCRIPTURE AND GAVE MUCH THOUGHT TO MY STRUGGLE WITH IS JESUS AND GOD THE SAME OR TWO SEPERATE BEINGS.

I NEEDED HER TO TRY TO HELP ME AS MY MIND HAS BEEN CLOUDED WITH SO MANY POINTS OF VIEWS AND FROM SO MANY RELIGIONS.!!

CRYSTAL IS ALSO YOUNGER AND SHARP!!

SHE WAS ABLE TO CONCENTRATE ON THIS WITHOUT SATAN BLOCKING HER THOUGHTS!!!

THIS BELOW WAS HER EMAIL ANSWER & THEN I WILL ELABORATE:


..God is like a cake except not sliced..layered..When baptised it says in the name of the father and the son and the holy spirit (NOTICE THE WORD AND)..but yet it says name not nameS...When it says persons, it doesn't mean flesh its like the entities of God or parts.....Inside the peel of and orange there are slices and they are all in there but all separate but Gods slices have thoughts and feelings,they are one they are God...This all can be because it is just so far beyond our reach he can have different people in him because they are him but he is them. He is their contiounce but they are his. They are equal. I think the Methodist prayer of affirmation most closely relates to this..here is what it says...
A Profession of Faith
We believe there is one God, whose nature is love; revealed in one Lord Jesus Christ, by one Holy Spirit of grace.
We believe the authenticity, genuineness, and inspiration, of the Holy Scriptures; that both the Old and New Testaments contain the revealed will of God and that the Bible is the supreme written authority in all matters of faith and conduct.
We believe that Jesus is the Son of the Living God. He came in the flesh, died for our sins, was buried, and rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures.
We believe, that holiness and true happiness are inseparably connected; and that believers should do that which is right, and strive to maintain order, and practice good works, for these things are good and profitable to all people.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revised Apostle's Creed

We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of Heaven and Earth.

We believe in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died for our sins, and was buried. On the third da y he rose again. He ascended into Heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father from where he comes to judge the living and the dead.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy universal Church, the communion of believers, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the dead, and the life everlasting. Amen.



CRYSTAL SAID THE PARTS ABOUT GOD AND CAKE..LAYERED CAKE...SHE IS SO CUTE!!!

ALSO ABOUT ORANGES.

THEN SHE FOUND THINGS TO SUPPORT HER THOUGHTS.

AFTER SHE CALLED AND TOLD ME TO READ HER EMAIL, WE DISCUSSED.

WE BOTH HAVE SEEN THE REAL LIGHT!!! JESUS WAS A MAN...BORN OF A VIRGIN, BUT GODS SPIRIT/HOLY SPIRIT WENT INTO JESUS AT JESUS"S

BAPTISING FROM JOHN THE BAPTIST.

MATTHEW 3:13 THEN JESUS CAME FROM GALILEE TO THE JORDON TO BE BAPTIZED BY JOHN. BUT JOHN TRIED TO DETER HIM SAYING: "I NED TO BE BAPTIZED BY YOU!!, AND DO YOU COME TO ME??}

JESUS REPLIED,LET IT BE SO NOW;IT IS PROPER FOR US TO DO THIS TO FULFILL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS; THEN JOHN CONSENTED.

AS SOON AS JESUS WAS BAPTIZED ,HE WENT UP OUT OF THR WATER,AT THAT MOMENT HEAVEN WAS OPENED,AND HE SAW THE SPIRIT OF GOD DESENDING LIKE A DOVE AND LIGHTING ON HIM., AND A VOICE FROM HEAVEN SAID: THIS IS MY SON ,WHOM I LOVE; WITH HIM IAM WELL PLEASED!!

AT THAT MOMENT HE WAS GODS SON. NOT JUST MAN, BUT GOD /MAN.

AFTER THIS HE WAS TEMPTED IN THE WILDERNESS/DESERT, BY SATAN,

THEN AFTER THIS JESUS STARTED HIS PREACHING!!!! HE GOT HIS APOSTLES

AND STARTED SPREADING GOD THE FATHERS WORD!!! MUCH HAPPEND IN BETWEEN,.....................................

JESUS WAS BOTH GOD AND MAN , HE WAS CRUSIFIED, HE WILLINGLY GAVE UP THE SPIRIT AND THIS IS WHEN HE CRYED: ELOI,ELOI LAMA SABACHTHANI !!!! (WHICH MEANS: MY GOD ,MY GOD, WHY HATH THOU FORSAKEN ME!!) WHEN JESUS THE MAN GAVE UP THE SPIRIT HE FELT ALONE!! HE ONCE AGAIN BECAME MAN. HE DIED. FLESH DIED. HE WAS INDEED SERVANT OF GOD, BUT AFTER HE WAS BAPTIZED HE RECIEVED POWER THROUGH GODS SPIRIT.

HE WAS RISEN , SPIRIT BACK IN HIM, BUT HE LOOKED DIFFERENT, MAYBE AS HE LOOKED MORE LIKE HE DOES IN HEAVEN, AS GOD/GODS SON DOES IN HEAVEN.(JUST MY THOUGHTS) SOME DIDNT RECOGNIZE HIM. SOME WERE AFRAID.

HE PROVED IT WAS HIM BY THE NAIL HOLES/SCARS AND HSI SIDE THAT WAS PIERCED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS!!! HE WAS THE LAMB, SACRIFICED FOR US.

AS PART MAN JESUS WAS AFRAID TO DIE. HE HAD PRAYED IN THE GARDEN OF GETHESEMANE (MATTHEW 26:35 ) THAT IF IT BE GODS WILL, TO TAKE THE CUP FROM HIM, TO NOT LET HIM HAVE TO DIE.

BUT YET HE WAS OBEDIANT EVEN UNTO DEATH, HE DID AS GOD PLANED, HE DID IT WITH FREE WILL.

HE DIED FOR US, SO WE COULD ASK FORGIVENESS THROUGH JESUS (OUR MEDIATOR) IF WE ARE REALLY SORRY IN OUR HEARTS , WE ARE FORGIVEN. WE MUST TRY OUR BEST TO NOT KEEP REPEATING SAME SINS. WE MUST

TRY TO BE LIKE JESUS . HE SET A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF LOVE!!! PEACE, WILL POWER ,SACRIFICE ,FORGIVENESS ETC.

BUT JESUS IS GOD. I NOW SEE THAT GOD HAS THREE PARTS BUT YET IS ONE GOD!!!

HE IS ABLE TO CONVERSE WITH HIMSELF AS HE IS MORE THAN ONE PART.

AND AFTER ALL WAS DONE AT CALVARY, AFTER HE ROSE(JESUS)..

HE ASSENDED BACK TO HEAVEN, BACK TO BE WITH GOD!!!

BACK TO WHERE HE HAD BEEN FROM THE ALPHA . HE LEFT THE HOLY SPIRIT TO GUIDE US, COMFORT US.TO LEAD US TO TEACH OTHERS, JUST AS HE TAUGHT THE APOSTLES TO TEACH OTHERS, WE ALSO MUST TRY TO WIN SOULS, TO ENLARGE THE KINGDOM OF GOD.

WE ARE LIGHTS SHINING HERE IN A DARK, DARK WORLD!!!!

SAVED PEOPLE I MEAN.

THE LAMB ,THE SON OF GOD BROUGHT LIGHT INTO A LOST DYING WORLD.

AND AS FOR SLEEPING UNTIL JESUS RETURNS, WELL...I WAS TALKING TO AN OLD FRIEND LAST NIGHT., HER 13 YR OLD GRANDAUGHTER SHANNON .P.

HAD BONE CANCER. SHE DIED AT 13!! THAT CHILD HAD LOOKED OUT HER BEDROOM WINDOW GAZING AT THE HEAVENS. , SHE WAS ASKED WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING AT, HER MOTHER AND FAMILY SAID THAT SHE COULD SEE HEAVEN, SHE SAW ANGELS , LOVED ONES?

THIS CHILD WAS NOT DELUSIONAL. SHE DIED A FEW DAYS LATER.

ALSO HER GRANDPA WHEN IN THE HOSPITAL SAID HE SAW SHANNON STANDING THERE IN THE ROOM , CALLING HIM, REACHING OUT HER HAND TO HIM, BECKONING HIM TO COME AND GO WITH HER, BUT HE SAID HE WASNT GOING JUST YET.

TWO DAYS LATER HE SAID: SHANNON IS BACK, IAM GOING WITH HER NOW! THEN HE CLOSED HIS EYES AND WENT!! (DIED). SO NOW I DONT FEEL

THAT WE SLEEP. I HAD HEARD THESE ACCOUNTS LONG AGO, BUT SATAN HAD BLOCKED MY MIND!!!

THANKS TO GOD, CRYSTAL AND A LITTLE GIRL AND HER GRANDPA....

I NOW SEE CLEARLY.

MY MAMA ALWAYS SAID THAT I WAS HER ANGEL, GOD SENT ME TO HELP HER IN LIFE...WELL CRYSTAL IS MY ANGEL!!!! GOD SENT HER TO ME FOR JUST SUCH A TIME AS THIS!! I WAS ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS OR SPIRITUAL BREAKDOWN!!!!

IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW.

CRYSTAL IS TRULLY A WARRIOR FOR CHRIST!! I HOPE SHE USES HER SWEET SPIRIT TO HELP EVEN MORE PPL TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD AND THE TRINITY.MAYBE MAKE A WEBSITE!!!!

I ONCE USED TO SING IN CHURCH WITH MY MOM FOR GOD. (MOMS IN HEAVEN) 2-1-1932-11-12-2003 VIOLET ARLENE HOUSAND.

MAYBE ITS TIME I REALLY GOT REDEDICATED AND DID MORE FOR LOST SOULS MYSELF.

I GOT CONFUSED AND OFF TRACK BY SATAN , BY EXPLORING DIFFERENT RELIGIONS.

SATAN WANTED ME TO BELIEVE THAT I DIDNT FIT IN ANYWHERE ANYMORE.

I TALKED TO MUSLIMS, JAHOVIAS, MORMONS ETC. ALL CONFUSED ME MORE.

MY OLD FRIEND KATHRINE .S. SAID I NEED TO GO TO ONE CHURCH, ATTEND REGULAR AND READ ONLY ONE KIND OF BIBLE. DONT DISCUSS RELIGION WITH EVERYONE IF THEY ARE NOT OF MY BELIEFS.

IT WILL CONFUSE ME.

IT WAS ALL I THOUGHT OF TILL I WENT TO BED, AND FIRST WHEN I AWOKE.

MY WEEKENDS OFF WERE ALL DAY AND HALF OF THE NIGHT STUDYS ON GOD, JESUS , RELIGION, DIFFERENT BELIEFS. EACH DAY I BELIEVED WHAT NEW PPL HAD TOLD ME.

NOW I LISTEN TO NO ONE ELSE.

GOD AND JESUS AND HOLY SPIRIT ARE ONE..ITS STILL KINDA A MYSTERY, BUT I ACCEPT IT.

NOW JESUS SITS AT GODS RIGHT HAND!! HE WILL COME BACK ONE DAY TO RULE AS KING!!!

NOW IAM NOT WORSHIPPING 3 GODS, BUT ONE GOD. ONE LOVING GOD THAT CAN BE SO MANY THINGS EVEN AT ONCE!!!

THANK YOU CRYSTAL!!!!

& GOD BLESS YOU,& MAY YOUR DAYS BE LONG AND HEALTHY AND FULL OF HAPPINESS & MAY YOUR OFFSPRING ALSO BE BLESSED. TEACH THEM HOW TO WIN SOULS TO GOD!!. BUT THANKS MOST TO GOD FOR LETTING HER(CRYSTAL) PERCIEVE, THANK YOU FOR JESUS, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING IVE HAD OR EVER WILL HAVE!!

LIFE, FAMILY, FRIENDS, HOME, CAR, LAND, ANIMALS, ON AND ON AND ON.!!!!

THANKS TO GOD THAT FINALLY THROUGH HIS CHILD CRYSTAL ,THAT I SAW TRUTH!!!

MOM/MARIA!!!!

Why should Christian children be forced to learn about things that they and their parents do not sanction either? Seriously my sons have learned about the "Evolution theory" but if someone does not wish it NO ONE has the right to violate their beliefs any more than they have the right to violate your rights. So why should anyone pick for another what can or can't be taught?

I ask this in the religion section because religions say that parents must always be respected and obeyed. I know it is of very much importance in Christiany and Islam, but what happens when parents are really doing wrong with their child? If they abuse their children or if they make pressure on their grown up children, e.g. regarding what kind of person they should marry or what profession they should take if they make their child unhappy this way?
This is a serious question, what can parents do and should still be respected? What can they ask and can should still be obeyed? I think there must be a limit for this somewhere.
