The truth is that inside, our conscious reveals that we are a part of something much greater than the sum of what we can see.

God wreaks vengence on his unbelievers, idol worshippers, those who proclaim other gods before him, that yes I agree with. No I am not a Jehovah, I am A Christian. God is not capable of evil, he has given people chance after chance. He does to us as a parent would disipline a child.Those of you who actually have children will realize you disipline your children, but you still love them Right?Those of us who are saved do not fear the bad we trust no matter what we will be with our Lord.Nobody can take that away. Jesus Loves YOU!

A woman died at the University of Kentucky Medical Center.
She said she was bitten by a snake at her church," Lt. Ed Sizemore of the Laurel County Sheriff's Office said. Church officials could not be reached for comment.

Handling reptiles as part of religious services is illegal in Kentucky. Snake handling is a misdemeanor and punishable by a fine of $50 to $100. Police said they had not received reports about snake handling at the church.

The Qur'an recognizes the Bible as the word of God, plus a little extra added by men, and thus corrupted. However, the subject of a future savior dominates the language and subject matter of the Old Testiment. How does the Islamic world translate that, or do they choose to ignore it?

I know that Jesus is only regarded as a faultless human being, not equivilent with divinity, and a prophet in Islam. I also know that the Muslims at one point were friendly (so to speak) with the Jews because of their common stance on Jesus and polytheism, but that their neutral ties were severed when the Muslims expected the Jews to recognize an Arab savior ("The Longman Anthology World Literature vol B, pg 406).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

If there was 100% proof, you would "know" it, not "believe" it
for example: We "know" the earth is round shaped, we don't have to "believe" it, there is 100% proof for it
But you say, you "believe" in Quran..

I want to thank some Christians, at least most of them know there is no 100% proof for their religion..

I am a good Christian, but I am a homosexual. I believe I was born this way, so it's not something I chose.

Will I really go to hell for something I cannot help?

The various Christian sects worship God, the "Holy Ghost," the Son, the Virgin Mary, and many other lessor demigods they call saints. On the flip side they fear a demigod they created and personified themselves--Satan. The also call on various Angels with prayer--as in Micheal the Arch Angel. That is a perfect dictionary discription of polytheism.

all wars are because of religion.

if there was no religion there would be more of a peace society.

obviously everyone would go nuts about not believing in a afterlife but since there isnt one anyways whats the difference.

so do you think if there was no religion it would be a better world.

We've cast this money spell but we don't need all of the 52 million dollars that we're going to win tonight on the N.J. Powerball. Any ideas as to which ( LOL, Which Witch!?! ) charities or worthy causes we should shovel some of the dough to?

A Florida judge rejected a woman's request to have her face covered by a veil in the photograph on her state driver's license, siding with the state Friday that a favorable ruling could be exploited by terrorists.
Her husband, Abdul-Maalik Freeman, said his wife would fight the decision.

"She's not lifting the veil. This is a religious principle," he told CNN-affiliate WKMG. "We don't quit. We have a no-quit attitude"

Could it be because the Bible says Christians would be persecuted because of their faith? Another source of proof the Bible is true!!!!

I mean, religious people believe that they were put on this earth to do something or other. And atheists believe we just can from biological soup (the theories vary but I'm generalizing here). Anyways, does there have to be a point to it all? Does everyone and every action have a purpose?

Of course there is no real definite answer, so I'm just asking for your personal opinion.

Consider, if you would, that instead of telling his followers to go house to house, to spread his Father's teachings, even to the Jews, he told them to simply wait for others to come to them, where would we be today? Would Christianity be as spread out as it is, or would it have died out?

Jesus called himself "the son of man" and Peter called him the "son of the living God". Jesus' 3 year career consisted of attempting to explain to people what "the kingdom of heaven' was like. CS Lewis (author of Lion, Witch and Wardrobe) said that the son of a wolf is still a wolf.

This is an incredibly complex thing to explain, so I'm not going to try to too hard. But basically, I am no saying that we all have a fate that we are destined to fulfill, nor am I saying we have complete control over are actions. If you stop to think about what makes you act the way you do, can you find a concrete answer? Now those of you who are extremely relgious may answer with soul or some faith based response and really I am asking this question towards the more logic based thinkers out thier. I basically think of free will as non exsitent simply because every action i have ever done is caused from an action done to me, and that action was caused by an action done to it, and so on and so forth. And if something happens to me, lets say someone says hello, though i may be able to think of diffrent possible ways I could respond, I can only respond in one way, meaning that beacuse the person said hello, it triggered one and only one possible response from me given that scenario

In my previous question one nice person of the Islamic faith said that suicide and the killing of innocent civilians will damn the perpetrator to hell. My question is what justification do the clerics and fundamentalists of the Islamic religion use to justify such acts if their religions clearly forbids them. I'm not talking about weak minded people or people with a learning disability who are convinced that they will get some reward, but the ones who convince them. Does the Islamic religion condemn someone who in the name of respectability; a cleric for example working for Hizbollah, Hamas, or that fanatice in Iraq; Bani Sader, talks innocent but weak minded people into killing themselves; does he go to hell also, or does the Islamic religion exempt him from accountability?

If it is for sex, isn't that just plain stupid? because sex is just fornication to proliferate, so it it is just a contradiction in terms and being on a spiritual plane, you will have no need for physical gratification....Duh!
