Anyone know of a free website that matches a person's beliefs with a religion? I have tried tickle, but they want money for a full report. I am in the preliminary stages of religious discovery, so web sites are what I am comfortable with for now. Please do not espouse your beliefs upon me when you provide your suggestions.Thanks for your suggestions.

I apologize for the way John is behaving. I promise to you that not all Christians are like that. I am not close-minded like that, and I just want to say I'm sorry on behalf of all Christians. Our reputation is ruined when people like John force religion down people's throat instead of just showing God's love...

If god wanted to, could he remove all evil from this world?
If he is incapable of doing so, he is not all powerfull.
If he is capable of doing so and does not he is a sadist.

they are obviously being asked by nutjobs? To read some of my posts, you might think me an atheist, but I'm a Christian and on the pastoral staff at my church. However, the arguing, insulting junk that gets written on here often times has me answering in ways that go against a person's belief, just to try and challenge what I think is fundamentalism, hate speech, intolerance, etc. Any others out there like me?

I need to know what it took to have that experience, and how you finally obtained it. What in your life has changed? How long did you have to use kriya and meditate before it happened for you?

Why does God waste His time on people who are going to die anyway instead of raining sulfur or turn rivers into blood?

I'm a humanitarian who will always lend a helping hand to those in need. But I do not believe in a Creator. Despite my life of doing kid things, does that insignificant fact make me a bad person? =(

It was Charles Darwin that said, "To suppose that the eye could have been formed by natural selection, seems I freely confess, absurd in the highest degree."

(Did you know that the eye has 40,00,000 nerve endings, the focusing muscles move an estimated 100,000 times a day, and the retina contains 137,000,000 light sensitive cells?)

Also, George Gallup, the famous statistician, said, "I could prove God statistically; take the human body alone; the chance that all the functions of the individual would just happen, is a statistical monstrosity."

Albert Einstein: "Everyone who is seriously interested in the pursuit of science becomes convinced that a spirit is manifest in the laws of the universe -- a spirit vastly superior to man, and one in the face of which our modest powers must feel humble."

it's a book by Charles Williams.
Has anyone read it? What did you think of it? Any insight on the book?
My son is doing a report on the book and he didn't quite get it. I haven't read it but I have done some research online and do have some reviews but also have read that it is a tough book to get through. His report is due Tuesday - HELP!
And if you have read the book then you know why I am asking in this section. And no reason to answer "there is no hell" ... that answer will be considered a cheap way to earn 2 points.

THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

At what point did you "wake up"? What finally tipped you off to the insanity of religion?

Do you remember a specific occurrence that helped you realize a more logical reality?

Jesus always referred to himself as having been sent by God (John 17:3) and his followers, too, considered him a man approved by God (Qur'an 19:37; Acts 2:22, John 3:2).
Jesus prayed to God like all other God-fearing individuals (Luke 5:16), and engaged in spiritual exercises such as fasting (Matt 4:2). Furthermore, Jesus lacked knowledge of the future (Mark 13:32), as only the Divine Being possesses perfect and complete knowledge.

Jesus (On whom be peace) was not God, there is only ONE God. Jesus was a Prophet sent by God to confine to the Children of Israel. (Qur'an 3:50, Matt. 10:5-6; 15:24)
"And he (Jesus) went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed..."-(MATTHEW 26:39).

And, behold, one came and said unto him (Jesus), "Good Master, what good thing shall I do, that I may have eternal life?" And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but One, that is God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the Commandments.-(MATTHEW 19:16-17

Most Christians claim that the devil is not omnipresent and not everywhere at the same time. To get around this problem, a network of demons is proposed who do the devil's bidding. How many demons are there?

If there aren't enough demons to go around, could some people be uninfluenced by the devil?

Do demons take breaks?

Maybe when someone goes to sleep, a demon moves on to another person that wakes up! This would maximize efficiency, and maybe decrease the number of necessary demons! Maybe only 4 billion demons are necessary.

My point is that when I think "impure" thoughts about sex, drugs, or even punching someone in the face, it has nothing to do with demons or the devil.

It's neurology. When I think about sex, it's due to hormones. When I think about punching someone in the face, it's because of anger and the aggressive part of the limbic system in my brain.

For the devil to influence me, he'd have to be part of my brain structure.

John 20
24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
29Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."

Listen, I am a christian and I believe it is a sin to be gay which is why my friends and I do whatever we can to stop these gay pride parades. We are out there with our megaphones preaching the word of Christ, handing out bibles, carrying signs, and if we see these homos making inappropriate contact with eachother we shoot them with paintball guns and douse them with holy water. Yes this sounds a bit extreme but its nothing compared to the eternal damnation that awaits them for their acts of sodomy. Its not that I hate them, its just the sin I hate which is why I feel the need to take extreme measures. I usually wind up getting arresting while I am only exercising my right to freedom of expression. Whats wrong with this country anyways?

There are tons of scripture describing Jesus as God. I just don't get why my friend won't go the full mile to say he is Lord, but only the son and therefore is nothing special in her mind.

I want to see a talking flaming bush, people that get swallowed by whales and come out alive to tell the story, a boat big enough to contain two specimen of every species on earth, people turning into salt, two fish and a cup of wine become a feast for thousands and yeah, I wouldn't mind hearing the voice of God or some angel -not that "he speaks through your heart" stuff, but an actual voice!
Anyone else?
