Fair is fair. I'll go first. I like their holidays! Life would be boring without them. Yeah, they're based in Pagan Holidays, but they've done a LOT with them. So credit where credit is due.

Also, a lot of the art from the Renessaince is nice.

Would you be able to discern through this media if God were using someone(any of us) to oversee this question and answer session?...After all, God is omnipresent.
Yes, He is here, present in all His Glory spreading His Word through us all. Good and bad. Planting seeds, some will take..some won't.

Haggard confesses to 'lifelong' sexual problem

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (CNN) -- Less than 24 hours after being fired from the mega-church he founded, evangelical Pastor Ted Haggard confessed to a "lifelong" sexual problem.

In a letter read to members of his New Life Church Sunday, Haggard said he is "a deceiver and a liar." Haggard apologized to his congregation in the letter and asked for their forgiveness.

"There is part of my life that is so repulsive and dark that I've been warring against it all of my adult life," Haggard said in the letter read by Pastor Larry Stockstill, a member of the board of overseers of New Life Church. (Gallery)

On Saturday, members of the board ousted Haggard from the 14,000-member church, citing his "sexually immoral conduct." (Watch what led to Haggard's firing -- 2:40)

Mike Jones claims the prominent pastor paid him for sex over a three-year period.

1 Corinthians 11:14
"Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, "

Even if it was just a portrayal of Jesus, why would you permit a sinful portrayal in your churches?

You should throw Haggard under the bus.
NOT the asker.

Do you believe an individual is inherently good or inherenly evil, and what is your proof?

Please only answer if you have more to say than just 'good' or 'evil.' I am honestly interested in knowing why you think the way you do.

According to the bible, he drowns all of humanity but one family, orders a LOT of death, gives people rules about stoning others who don't worship him correctly.

IF any other being did these horrible things, we wouldn't call them"good." So why is god "good" when he does them?

I'm genuinely interested in what you think about this. I think when I was a christian I would have said "Because the bible says he's good" but that sounds kind of lame, so there must be something better than that.

Thank you for your answers.

I always thought that the god christians worship is the same god I worship who is God or Allah or Yaweh or whatever else you want to call Him. Sometimes, though, Christians say Jesus is god and some say Jesus was the son of God. So which one is it? Does it just depend on which denomination you are?
oh and please no answers that are intended on converting me or bashing Islam because i'm a very firm believer in my religion, thank you.

Pascal's wager is something I come across from timt to time in this section. I know it's flawed, and I know why it's flawed, but I want to hear your reasons why you think it's flawed, or not.

I dont want scripture, I dont want facts, I dont want a religious viewpoint. I want to know what makes him God, why do you feel that he is God, as in a supreme being. Why is there no possibility that he does not exist. Share your testimony.

Sweetest Song
(Laura Powers/Chris Pelcer)

I still see your eyes sometimes
When shadows darken the sun
I rattle the walls, my love
For the endless rain to be gone

With a wave you are by my side
Like a kiss from on high
Fill the emptiness with your words
Giving me wings so my spirit can fly

Follow the sweetest song
Rise over treetops to greet the dawn
Dance as your heart plays on
Long may your dream be your island

A harbor to rest the soul
Fair winds to calm the soul
When your heart leads the journey love
You will have all you need

Follow the sweetest song
Rise over treetops to greet the dawn
Dance as your heart plays on
Long may your dream be your island

Someday you'll find your dream
The paradise meant to be

Long before the world ever begun
We've been longing for our
Hearts to be one
Follow the sweetest song
Rise over treetops to greet the dawn
Dance as your heart plays on
Long may your dream be your island

Have you ever been asleep and felt like a dark enity attacked you in you sleep, like a punch in you face while you are sleeping and you automatically wake up and feel like something scary is there or is that just astral travel and having a bad return to the body, and have you ever had a dream where it was so real like someone was attacking you and really hurting you in the dream and you did feel the pain while you were sleeping and it hurt really bad that it finally woke you up and you feel really numb where you were being hurt in the dream. what could this be? All answers in all different views are welcome, no insults please on any part of my questions because i am being very serious here.
