My friend said she "felt God" when she was with her father when he died. She also said her father was talking to her guardian angels that were standing next to her right before he passed. Has anyone had a spiritual experience such as this? Please tell me your story.

i don't want the "christians push their faithon us" answer, what im looking for is a profoundly solid reason as to why our nation accepts the fact that satanists and anarchists promote their religion with no resistance but when someone asks another person about "are you a Christian and if not, do you know Jesus" all hell breaks loose and the Christian is streotyped? Just wondering why the world is so bassakwards.

Most of the writings were in bad physical shape to begin with, there was translation, interpretation, and some parts omitted. When all is said and done, are we sure all that is written in today bible can be take literally? Take the verse "I am the truth, the way, and the life, no one comes to the father but through me", If I take the bible literally, it means worship Jesus to get to heaven, but that contradicts Jesus in context, I believe. I think Jesus want us to have a focus on God, the father, and to have a personal relationship with God. What if, Jesus meant, which would be more aligned with the context of his teachings, that no one gets to the father but though the way he lived his life. However, we may not know the truth of what is said, because through-out history, people for political, religous, and scientific reasons have translated, interpreted, and even omitted parts of the bible. Even today, the bible is being interpreted for "better understanding."

I'm an adventist. That means I go to church on saturdays and I believe Christ will return. I don't believe that we can live on after death without the resurrection of the body and one can't live forever without the body made immortal. I don't believe that we are eternal self existant souls that need not of God to live on.

Genital based morality-An infantile system of simplistic thinking, involving magical make believe, and is thus quite easy to understand. Abortion, homosexuality, pornography, prostitution, unmarried sex, oral sex, sodomy, non-monogamous sex, adult videos, nudist clubs, nude beaches, nude dancing, anything that touches upon, views, uses, or has anything what-so-ever to do with, genitals, is immoral and bad. And further inquiry, reasoning or evidence is irrelevant.

This is not a bash on people that are overweight, nor is it a ping on "gluttony". I have been told several times on here, that God doesn't approve of using drugs because they contribute to the destruction of a person's body ("Drugs" includes weak drugs like marijuana, nicotine, and alcohol).

With that reasoning, wouldn't things like saturated fat and not exercising also p|ss God off, because they are the destruction of a person's body (a temple in God's image)? I was recently watching the documentary Jesus Camp (SCARY!!). The woman who ran the camp was very overweight (by any standards), yet she was telling people how they should honor God. I kept thinking, "lose some weight before you destroy your temple with a heartattack!!"

Am I wrong in this reasoning?

An Exeter primary school used worksheets to tell children that 'only small children believe in Father Christmas' and that the Post Office replied to thousands of letters sent to Santa. Outraged parents now have letters of apology from the Head teacher and the worksheets have been withdrawn. Since when were teachers obliged to promote myth and apologise for telling the truth? More seriously, what responsibility do parents share for contributing to unbelief in God today by their disproportionate insistence on patently obvious fairy-tales? This is a recent development compared with belief in God. Would you parents think twice about encouraging your children to believe in Santa Claus if you knew that would lead them to be agnostic or atheist at a later stage? Or are most of the parents who go along with this agnostics and atheists themselves?
