There are several very shallow but almost perfect human tracks found in the rocks in the mountains of New Mexico. The rock is of Permian Period of the Paleozoic Era, which is suppose to be from 299 to 251 million years ago(supposedly before the dinosaurs).
(http://www.bible.ca/tracks/tracks.htm)

With this fact, how can evolution be true? According to evolution man came several million years after the dinosaurs? But these footprints say that they were several million years before dinosaurs!

The Bible says that man and dinosaurs lived together (they were called dragon, Leviathan, Behemoth and unicorn). The Bible has a better theory than evolution!

Wouldn't the time you spend spreading the Word be better spent learning to count to ten before you react?

Does God give you credit for the number of people you convert, or the way you behave towards others?

If you do not love God enough to control your thoughtlessness, what example do you set for others?

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16

does this parable show that believers have no more favor in god eyes for having faith than the faithless for god loves all his children equally regardless of what religion or non religion you are ,does this not show there is no true religion and one trying to prove the other wrong is totally against the lords will

worn those fake tattoos to school and no one has ever said anything to him or made him cover it up. The other night at church his ss teacher put a fake tattoo on him of a cross. When he got to school the next day, they made big deal out of it and made him put a bandaid on it. Just because it was a cross, that's it. I am not upset that they made him cover it up, if they would have made him cover ALL of the tattoos, not just this one. The upsetting thing is that they felt threatened by this little boy, showing his love for Jesus and that is why they made him cover it up. It is hypocritical.

Is it a sin to lay with a woman or a man without the union of marriage, as it suggests in the bible. Or perhaps what the bible meant was that it is a sin to lay with a man or woman without love which in gods eyes is the marriage of man and woman. Is god not love? (the union of god, man and woman= marriage.)
I have seen many who are married, but do not have love in their union, but felt pressured from acceptance of societys standards to do so. Is this not a sin, to lay with a man or a woman without love. Do you think that is what the bible was suggesting, and man defined the scripture for himself?

There are so many Christian "experts" on the subject of Paganism... some claiming to have been part of a "cult" or having been "seduced". Many of these people have already been proved to be frauds, but still, they are the ones to go to when a Christian wants to know about the occult, Wicca, Paganism or Satanism.

These people warn that we Pagans are out to harm or ritually kill children, that we practice orgiastic sex, and whatever other manner of sickness. Christians believe them. In fact, we're being accused of doing just what the Christians were early on.

There are other "experts" that may have bought a book by LaVey, Buckland or Starhawk and believe that one or two books makes them an expert. That would be like reading the Proverbs, Genesis and Revelations and claiming expert status on Christianity.

Why can't Christians go to Pagans to understand Paganism? Why do they instead go to Christians with dubious credentials?

The Bibles says to love my neightbour but my neighbours are all acting like nasty little countries and putting up walls and barking dogs. My cat has no where to go out thats safe any more. If people loved their neighbours, if America loved Mexico, if my house loved the house next door and we shared all our loafs and fishes would that be a better world? But how do i get through the dogs and fenses?

How come everytime I mention why I believe in God, atheists come out with this don't cram your religion down my throat BS? Thats such a cop out. First off all its a free country, you don't like, leave or go somewhere it wont bother you. Just because you have insecurities about religion and God or the fact you have too much pride to, doesn't mean I cant express my faith. Again its a free country and you are allowed to tell me why Im a moron.

However one more question? You people are so much more intelligent and enlightened than my blind ignorant faith, yet tell me from a scientific analysis how has anything in this existence ever come from nothing? You claim no God yet in physics everything has a cause and effect, along with no infinite values existing in this universe, so explain to me how I evolved from nothing?

For all of those who are too ignorant to do research, ISLAM is the fastest growing faith in the world and the United States. Quoting stuff from Christian websites of course are going to be biased because they do not want to lose their foothold on society. WEll, that is changing. Islam IS the fastest growing faith and it WILL surpass christianity. Christians just need to realize they are losing now and Christianity is NOT the fastest growing faith. Get over it!

P.S-We all know just because someone claims to be a christian doesnt mean they are a TRUE one, so that takes me back...How many CHRISTIANS are there? REAL ones. Not a lot, I assure you.

God has tried umpteenth attempts to preach/teach us as how to live life through the ages vide his messengers whom we call prophets. He has tried ALL possible means : love, fear of punishment, sops, etc. Inspite the number of so-called obedients are much lesser than disobedients ? Miraculous, is it ? or it is Divine ?

Apparently God's plans for Saul (later Paul) were more important than whatever Saul may have wanted to do. So how does that square with God's gift of free will?

i mean, if i were to, for example, see people arguing in the food section on how to make pasta and i hated pasta, i'd tell them to "get over and be done with it, pasta sux". i wouldnt tell them "pasta doesnt taste good no matter how u prepare it" and keep presenting them the idea of buying insurance as an alternative.
similarly, you guys should stop asking questions with the intention of making fun, like this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuErieNbA_fM8yXYDGrJlWvsy6IX?qid=20061020205559AAF0rfF , this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=ArveoXpoLYOVmk7qFjhcJvnsy6IX?qid=20061020202605AAQFrKc or this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AoaiW1Johsupz9TWcy6Qenfsy6IX?qid=20061020205030AAl8dGv . but if u ask questions with the true intention to learn, like this http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsF0F8kYWleqfkto7pzMlwrsy6IX?qid=20061017095244AAXboZA and you'll be less hated and more than welcome by anyone else in this section!
question, do u agree?

Im talking about harmonics. If you watch a sad movie and you cry, try watching the same movie WITHOUT the sound. The same goes for the Church. Didnt you know thats why their is so much music in there. Emotional people open their wallets more. Try sitting in church with ear plugs and see if you still feel the same when its over. besides you already KNOW why you are there.

60:9 Allah only forbids you, with regard to those who fight you for (your) Faith, and drive you out of your homes, and support (others) in driving you out, from turning to them (for friendship and protection). It is such as turn to them (in these circumstances), that do wrong.
