I'm curious why Christian leaders (or religious leaders of any kind, but specific to America) move about in armored vehicles accompanied by secret service and guards. God said that He knows the day and place of your death already so technically no matter what you do, you will die when you're supposed to. It is God's Infallible plan. I am a bit irritated to find that our own government prays and claims God as a guiding factor when in all honesty, they don't even believe in Him. Thoughts?

I don't mean "confused." I mean: heavily into drink and/or drugs, burdened by psychological problems, prone to promiscuity, law-breaking, etc.

This includes at least one lapsed Jehovah's Witnesses, but it's almost always ones who claim to still be faithful.

I'm a muslim and having trouble understanding this issue:
If theres two young men, one of them a very pious, pure muslim who strives hard to achieve Allahs good pleasure and submits his free will to him, and the other completely the opposite, commits zina, dosen't pray salat and aqquires all the charactaristics hated by Allah. Say the obediant muslim lives his entire life obeying Allah and then dies prospering to jahana, and the other lives half his life uptil the age of 37 mischieviously then has a 'religous awakening' by scare of death or any other reason, if this man now sincerely repents and lives obediantly for the rest of his life Allah would forgive him since he is the most merciful? Thus, the disobediant man will also go to heaven! I fail to see any justice in this? They end up in the same place even though one of them has worked much harder and deserves it much more, i dont think its fair? Allah tells us we wont be dealt with unjustly but i cant see justice here. Please help!

Is christianity or muslims to blame? Everybody blames the muslims, but could the christians provoked it?

Yes, it's a rediculous question, but think about it for a moment.

Eternal UNchange implys stagnation. No growth, no advancement, no progress. To get around the problem of god being a lazy slob, we assume he exists outside of time, but that begs the question... why does a perfect, eternal being need to indulge in an imperfect temporal reality?

Is it really just to be "worshipped" by great humans?

How shallow and self-indulgent.

Muslims believe that the Quran is a direct utterance of Allah (God). Because God is infallible, one would expect the Quran to be infallible also. However, by examining the Quran, we are faced by many statements that go against the undisputed facts of science. It would be unacceptable if such errors were attributed to a learned human being, worse yet to attribute them to the Omniscient God. The list of the errors in the Quran is very long, and are discussed in full detail in other books. Here, we have a limited space to list only a few samples. Our goal is to question whether God can make such errors, whether God was in fact the author of the Quran.

I've wanted to convert to Judaism for a while now and I've talked to two Rabbis already, and everything is really cool. But, I haven't told the Rabbi that I'm gay. And I feel guilty about not telling him. I don't tell him maybe because I'm scared of what he might say. I know most Jews are fine with gay people, but I don't know how is it when it comes to gay people who are converting.

By the way I'm seeking either a Reform, Conservative or Reconstructionist conversion.

How does a big bang explain the innumerable amount of species of living things? Why is there sound and taste? And how did they evolve? Why do some creatures fly, while others swim, and some slither? Why do some creatures have two legs, while others have four and some eight? Why are some species predators while others are prey? Why do some creatures hibernate year after year while others must continue in motion to survive? Why do birds build nests, beavers construct dams, and spiders spin webs? Why are there millions of galaxies and trillions of stars? Why are there springs, rivers, and oceans? Why are there four seasons? Why does sand gather along the coastal shores and in the midst of deserts? Why do birds sing, wolves howl, and cats meow? Why is the world so colorful? Why are there a multitude of foreign languages? Why is the human brain more complex than the most powerful computer? Why do Humans have a conscience while animals have basic instincts? Why does nature possess certain natural laws while humans form laws to govern society? How did all these things come to be and why?

I've come to a lull in my own spiritual road, and I think that participating in a group might be the best answer. It's usually helpful to have others to bounce ideas off of and share experiences. Having looked over a few websites, I've found a few groups that I might work well with and might gain a lot from my involvement. Sometimes, though, things sound better "on paper" than they actually are. If anyone here is or has ever been a member of a Satanic organization, I'd really appreciate your insight. Thanks.

Where does it come from, this quest, this need to solve life’s mysteries, the simplest of questions that can never be answered?

Why are we here? What is the soul? Why do we dream? Maybe we are better off not looking at all, not delving, not yearning, but that’s not human nature, not the human heart. That’s not why we are here, at the end what does it matter if the human heart can only find meaning in the smallest of moments.

We all imagine ourselves as the agents of our own destiny, capable of determining our own fate, but have we truly a choice when we rise, and when we fall?

An asker asked if their Atheist Math was correct... Well I corrected it. They proposed:
Stupid - Integrity + No God = You are going to Hell....LOL
well, those that love math love to reduce:
Stupid + god - going to hell = integrity
seing that my views did not match those of the asker, they deleted the question. I feel my answer should still be viewed by the general public.

I am sincerely sorry for my last 2 questions. I am wrong to revel in my salvations and mock those without it.

Athiest or not, G-d loves and cares for you and so do I. I need a break from here. But thats not an excuxe. neither is grace, or satan or anything else. The fact it, I have wronged people and I am sorry.

I am wrong, ask your forgiveness and that of G-d's. Thanks to my Chrisitan friend for pointing it out, but I felt the same conviction from the Spirit. Good confirmation.

Blessings to you all... pray 4 me tonight,
David

Just so I dont get reported about not being a Q or A.....

How was your day?

I think that some people are more likely to believe in G-d and religion than others, due to upbringing, genes and their minds. If this is true (which I believe it to be - surely a logical atheist in a community and family of logical atheists is unlikely to believe in G-d) then how can G-d allow this? It is not fair, put simply.
Or if you believe Jesus is the only way to salvation - what about people in strict Muslim countries? They will have heard of Christianity, perhaps, but following it would be a huge sacrifice to themselves and their community.
Why would God give some people more of a chance to believe than he does others?

Christians, as you know there is a lot of atheists in the world today who do not want to know Jesus. That is sad considering that he died for their horrible sins. How do you handle it. Sometimes when the Holy spirit is taking over I talk to people about Jesus and our Father in Heaven, about how I became a Christian, and I tell them that before I became a Christian I had nothing in life that was satisfying. As there is an awful lot of rape, murder, backstabing, pornograpy, unbelievers, wars people who do not care about anybody but thenselfs etc. I tell them that there is something else out there other than this corrupt life, because this world will always let them down. Other times I could not be bothered talking to them about God because I do not always feel like it. I have noticed all of the unbelievers I have come accross are searching for something, and I feel that is a good start. I too used to think like the world, thinking this world is all we have, as I know the truth now
