A good friend of mine just lost her first baby. She wasnt very far along however she has been wanting to have a baby forever and is obviously crushed at her loss. What are some good encouraging bible verses that may help remind her that as bad as things are now they will get better?

Something I have been trying to get across the R+S section is religious tolerance. Although I think because I'm seeing this from an atheistic perspective makes it harder for others to understand.

See myself, I have no problem with what others believe, because I feel in the end we will all end up in the same place, whereas Christians do not see it the same way, and I'd go to hell for my different beliefs, and will try to help me see the light, so to speak.

So can we have religious tolerance when there are such different ideals? Or will we always argue back and forth?

Christians are now being questioned by lots of skeptics and even among themselves. Can you list some of those that you find baffling (I mean if you are honest with yourself)?

According to his article in TIME, he is a devote Christian. Won't this make them seek someone else.

Ok i just had a little boy. I am so not the religiouse type, in fact i think the catholicreligion is so corrupt and contradicting its not even funny. However, my boyfriend and his WHOLE family are psyco *** catholics. Anyway, my boyfriends mom is trying to push me into baptising MY SON catholic and so is my boyfriend. Every single time i go to her house she bombards me with "why havent you baptised him!" blabblablabla Its so annoying, i feel like telling her tostfu and stay out of my buisness. If i have to baptise him i would want to baptise him non denominationally, i dont want anyone to push religion on him. I do care what my boyfriend thinks but it seems like he doesnt take my feelings into consideration. Hes not the one who carried the baby around for nine months but he makes ALL of the major decisions. AM i being selfish or do i have a right to be aggervated?

Valour — Courage and Knowledge
Generosity
Liberality — Giving
Diligence
Patience
Kindness
Humility

I'm not sure what the difference is between generosity and liberality? Something for me to think about.

It seems like many non muslims are very surprised when they goto mosque open houses or study Islam from authentic sources. I believe that education is the key to understand other cultures and break down stereotypes. My opinion is that Muslims and Non Muslims alike should have more interfaith dialogues.

"O humankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (not that you may despise each other). Verily, the most honored of you in the sight of Allah is (he who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things)." (Quran Chapter 49:13)

If you examine the questions I have asked today, you will see the theme of my questions for today has been about Christianity sanctioning slavery. It's a historical fact that Christianity has sanctioned slavery (my questions provide the evidence for this).

Several people have had trouble with this, insisting Peter and Paul were speaking of maids and butlers, and not slaves.

My question for those who have this difficulty is, have you never been taught that Rome practiced slavery? Have none of you heard of Spartacus, a gladiator who led a slaves' revolt against Rome and defeated several Roman armies before finally being put down? Are you unaware that this occurred before the birth of Jesus?

In light of these facts, how do you justify Peter and Paul telling slaves to accept their fate as slaves? Peter goes so far as to say "Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh." (1 Peter 2:18).

Be honest don't research it.. If you do not know just say I do not know....

Obviously the translators couldn't even translate the name of the Christ correctly so what makes you think they got anything else right.

I was a Baptised Christian for 16 years and did not know the answer to this question until I got wise and became Agnostic!!

Don't they realize that the Catholic church is not the final authority on the love of God?

A drunk is sitting on the street curb in front of a bar.
A stranger comes by and asks if he's O.K.
The drunk replies by asking, "Do you know who I am?"
The stranger says "No. Who are you?"
The drunk proudly says "I'm Jesus Christ...and I can
prove it! Come with me!"
They enter the bar and the bartender looks up and yells
"Jesus Christ! Are you here again?"

I just see in Danish TV that one airport in the states have problems with muslims, because they don't want to drive with customer with alcohol in their luggage. I never laugh so much. Things same this can only happen in the states. In Denmark we will never accept such muslim drivers if they follow their religion first. Take them out, many can replace their jobs. What will the next be ???? Are the states slowly turning into a muslim country??
