It tells us in the Bible that Adam and Eve were made in God's own image - and bearing in mind that man evolved from the great apes - is God a monkey?!

I will not enter into any discussion regarding evolution as this is proven scientific fact - no matter what religion you belong to.

The Bible was written by many people guided by the wisdom of God. The koran by one man's ramblings of which many he did not think were from God. I do not offer any apology for being a christian and my two year study of Islam that has made me a much stronger Christian and never even tempted to be a muslim since both the Hadith and koran make no sense whatsoever

So the catholic church says that birth control is bad and all that, but they believe that the family planning method is fine. So if the whole point of getting rid of birth control is because it is conflicting with openess to birth/life, then how is the family planning any different? If you plan out days where for sure you cannot get pregnant, doesnt THAT defeat the purpose of openness to birth as well? Just a thought.

When someone posts an imflammatory questionto the R and S board that they seem to think is terribly funny, why not just respond with humor?

What they expect, is for all the Christians or whichever group they are targeting, to scream, rant, yell, condemn, and give them all the negative attention they desire.

Why not just respond with humor? Which is the exact opposite of the response they want you to have, and thus you defeat the dishonestly asked question from the outset.

I have to admit, that it gets difficult to spend much time at all on the R and S board. Everyone seems to scream, yell, and condemn. And that atmosphere begins to reflect in my own posts.

"When you dig a pit for your neighbor to fall in , you shall fall in it yourself", are these verses something that Christians who rant about other Christians should consider?

very specific details such as cars, electricity, the internet, etc? Could it be that it is just a bunch of gobbledy-**** made up by men who weren't prophets, but just storytellers?

Could we all get along after that? Would we be able to put aside our differences in beliefs so that we could unite as a country like we once did?

as a life stye choice. For example people who claim to have a direct communication with a god are widely tolerated and not treated for their illness. Why is this? Is it right that this happens?

I just heard Al Sharpton say on CNN Headline News that the ONLY people who you can legally commit a hate crime against is a black person. (Heard with my own ears)


Do you think he's right or do you think he's off base?
(I ask this here because he is "Rev" Al Sharpton.)

I certainly wouldnt. Besides the obvious multiple partners issue, would you? & why is it not ok for a woman to have multiple husbands like the mormans & muslims? If someone already sleeps around, is it better if they marry 4 people to legitimize it?

This is a ? for believers only. Five years ago I received prophetic dreams, which were backed up on numerous ocassions by God in the Bible, other believers, and signs. I prayed a lot about what God was saying to me in the dreams, and asked for correction should I have misinterpreted the message. Instead, I got wonderful confirmations and I have actively questioned them, and accepted it critically. I am a very rational Christian, and know the dangers of believing in something not from God, so it is very important to make sure that I heard right and it was from God.

So, the question is: if you believe something and you base your life on it but you are mistaken, will God allow you to continue to believe and follow that path? What loving Father would allow a questioning child to have false hope, receive all these verses and confirmations, and never say "Excuse me, child, but that wasn't me or you did not hear/see right". If I was wrong I would have known by now... your opinions?

We see them almost everyday, they tell a story about their desire of converting away from Islam for some stupid reasons. I have no objection on conversion at all. But at least they should play it smart & educate themselves a little about Islam before telling their stories.

Some tips for future stories:
1- If you want to convert away of Islam, you don't need to ask how to convert away of Islam, rather ask how to convert to religion X as converting away requires nothing, while converting to specific religion might require something.
2- Muslims worship Allah, they don't worship Muhammed (pbuh). So instead of saying "Mohammed doesn't like girls/guys to do so and so", say "It's forbidden in Islam to do so & so"
3- People convert to another religion out of religious purposes not to live their life with no restrictions. So if your point is to bash on Islam restrictions, do not use another religion, think of something else.

Okay, hear me out. As I understand it, Einstein was some kind of supergenius who came to a lot of conclusions. Here's the weird conclusion I came up with: at what point was there some kind of connection to realize that there's a nuclear force, rather than solid objects? Where'd we come up with all of these ideas that are so different from common and ordinarily observational perception? Was Einstein touched by the will of the universe, and able to draw upon that power to lead us to the truth, and the staggering power that that truth contains?
