Thomas Paine was a pamphleteer whose manifestos encouraged the faltering spirits of the country and aided materially in winning the war of Independence:
I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish church, by the Roman church, by the Greek church, by the Turkish church, by the Protestant church, nor by any church that I know of...Each of those churches accuse the other of unbelief; and for my own part, I disbelieve them all."

For hundreds of years "christians" on one side of the fence have killed their fellow "christians" on the other side, and multitudes of others as well. They also pray to their "god" before they begin to fight and kill. That doesn't seem to follow that which was taught by the one they say they believe in.

a few days ago my cousin told me that some of the cheese sold in the US has enzymes taken from animals. i opened a site and found out that there was animal shortening in some sweet products also and even in toothpaste and cereals. i was wondering how you handle this problem about not being sure if something is halal or haram. its really impossible to do know everything that is haram but wouldn't it also be haram to not check up on something and eat in doubt? thank you

They sell THE SATANIC BIBLE in BARNS AND NOBLE! How can the sell somthing so evil? They are teaching are childreen how to worship the devil. This means more murder and human sacracies.
How can we let such evil things be sold in a christian nation. And if you say the U.S is not a christian nation, you are wrong. ALL of our founding fathers and presidents were Christians.

We have the seal guy and others jumping to the book of Leviticus to condem homosexuality, but the same Leviticus laws about not eating shrimp or pork are completely ignored because in that case we have the New Testament covennant and all of the Old Testament rules are thrown out because of it. Can you all stop flip flopping around and develop some integrity regarding what you preach? Thanks!

Have you researched it thoroughly? If you have then you would know that 1/3 of the Bible is prophetic. You would also know that the bible is over 97% accurate, since we have many ancient manuscipts to prove its accuracy (dead sea scrolls for old testament and 20,000 ancient N.T. manuscripts, etc.) Many prophecies have come true, including the Jews returning to their land in 1948 after 2000 years in exile! Why Do you not want to believe with so much evidence?

I am 20 years old, and Ive come to relized that the older i get the more i think about the "meaning of life." i know im young, but lately ive been thinking about what happens to me after death?im scared that i wont ever see the ones i love after i die. im scared to know how i will die and what happens after. im scared that since i have no TRUE religion, what will happen? lately, ive been leaning towards believing more in jesus and god, but i fear, what if this is not the "truth"? im stressing over how life has an inevitable end; death. im losing sleep over thinking about this. basically im reaching out to people out there, who have felt the same as me, and what have helped them overcome this. im also asking for people to help guide me.

in the place of where the word "homosexual" is now listed in the Bible? You now read about sinners being referred to as adulterers, murderers, homosexuals, etc who will never enter the Kingdom of Heaven. If homosexuals truely were a hot-button issue back when the Bible was written, what one word description did they have for them and why did it get changed if there ever was one?

Aren't god and Allah the same entity?

Abraham was the father of Isaiah AND Ishmael. Isaiah is the father of the Hebrews and christians, while Ishmael is the father of the muslim religion. both are sons of abraham, who believed in god/allah/yaweh.

agreed? why or why not?

Sin, sinners, hell, eternal damnation...
why is it so easy to commit a sin (since everything pleasurable is a sin) and so difficult to follow its precepts (love thy neighbour as yourself??? i dont think we humans are able of doing that).
Wouldnt it be wiser to create "laws" that people can follow more easily???
