If we all knew that God really existed wouldn't we all live saintly lives and if so how could we tell the truly good people from the evil?

So, in the case of Imagination... the guiding hand of creativity, of hallucinations, of dreams... what IS it? In the arts of divining, astral projection, summonings... in the wakeful dreaming states of spiritual rapture, of drug and poison-induced hallucinations, of divine visions...

WHAT GUIDES THE HAND OF THE MIND?

The answer 'god' is forbidden in this answering, for not only does it show the inability to vary your answers, but it does not satisfy my curiousity. Being that I study the Qabalah and use many references to gods, angels, kings, etc... I tend to say that it is the 'creative powers of the archangels', but merely a metaphore is all that that is... for what?

It seems that Imagination has purpose, it gave us literature/ language/ art/ science/ and more...

Also is it true only Catholics teaches about the concept of "original sin"? Does it mean Protestant doesn't teach the concept of "original sin"?

If Protestant doesn't teach the concept of "original sin", what is your opinion regarding "original sin"?

for those of you who are not farmiliar with God's prophecy, one of the major signs of the end times is that a "mark" will be given and no one can buy or sell without this "MARK". mid 2005, an RFID chip was created by major corporations, i.e. Master Card, Microsoft, American Airlines and more. This "chip" will be injected into everyone who wishes to recieve it. it will reduce theft, robbery, burglary, rape, child abduction, and more. Corporations say that it MUST be placed into either your right hand or forehead. Coincidentally, god says the mark of the beast will be placed into the right hand or forehead. is anyone else putting 2 and 2 together?
I am a saved Christian and know that i'm going to heaven but it still scares the S_hit out of me, these coming times, God says MANY will be decieved into taking the mark, but ANYONE who takes it WILL go to hell, i think about all of my friends who will inevitably take it, regardless of how many hours i spent talking about this.it scares me so

When an athiest says they have an open mind and free thinking and all others are brainwashed, or when they argue you to the death that Darwin's theory is 100% the only truth?

A christian when they say the follow christ's teachings of unconditional love for all, nonjudgement, peace and harmony, or when their holding a sign that says "God hates fags" telling us all that they are an abomination and going to burn in hell?

Micheal jackson when he says it doesn't matter if you're black or white, or when he shows up three shades lighter every time you see him?

Everyone keeps saying "Stop insulting my religion"
"Quit insulting Atheists"
"Quit insulting Christians"
"Quit insulting Wiccans"
"Quit insulting Muslims"

How about, "Quit insulting anyone", that would be refreshing. People keep trying to point fingers, "Oh those Atheists keep insulting religion" and then an Atheist will say the exact same thing about Christians... Its obvious everyone gets nailed, so can't we quit crying about it, acting like we are the only ones getting mocked or insulted. Every religion/irreligion hands out insults, and being insulted does not prove your religion right, nor does it prove the other religion to be full of hateful people.. There are some sincere, respectful people in all religions, and some bitter vengeful people. Just ignore them, you can't change them. It is just in their heart to be indecent.

Your thoughts? Why does this happen? Will it ever stop? Speak up!

I have been so lazy in my prayer life, and I do not go to church as I find most of it boring, and I do not read my bible as much as I should. I have had a very close walk with Father, and in return has blessed me with dreams and visions from him. Now since I have gotton lazy is that walking away from God? I am not doing it on purpose. I am worried if I died I will end up in hell. I love Jesus and believe he died on the cross as we all would be going to hell if he did not come onto the world. I believe he is the son of the living God, and I have repented for most of my sins. I feel that this may not be enough. Even going to church you are not gauranted to be saved. I am not a church goer. Each to their own right? Anyway I want genuine replies only, no smart asses. Christians if you are not going to be genuine do not respond, because if you do judge, you are not the christian you thought you were, you would be a hypocrite instead. Nice christians only please.

meaning CHRIST/LOGOS IS MASCULINE; HOLY SPIRIT IS FEMININE, SYMBOLIZING GOD AS A WHOLE. I don't belong to some cult...just that nature itself is divided this way.

They got to Pentagon and flying schools and toured the White House and govt escorted family out news said. They are in at least 40 states and pres of Iran said he has key informers in US. He is serious about his call from 'allah' in that for his task to prepare the world for their 'Mahdi' there must be a all (radical) Islam world with big chaos & bloodshed, We are on the list as he's said like it or not and I'm sure he knows we'll be like putty in his hands(the aclfu will back him). I don't know why we the great USA is taking threats, warnings intentions from someone who can. What's the difference between now & Hiroshima danger?

I'm actually Christian right now... it's really hard for me because my entire family is Christian as well. Besides, I don't like God (lol that sounds stupid). I read the bible, and it's all: don't kill.. and then God encourages them to have wars so they can take over land... kinda ironic to me... and also (this is kinda selfish) i'm not straight so Christianity is against who I am.

so... I'm wondering if I should convert to Buddhism? Any ideas would be really cool, I'm kind of confused right now, that's all.

Like when a prisoner is being tortured by his|her captures, does the prisioner think to themselves, ' hey this guy really is love, he's like slowly burning of my flesh.'
And what do atheists think, hypothetically, if a god organises for you to be burned alive forever, will that teach you the truth as explained in the Bible quote-' God is Love.'?
Can the Christains also please explain how someone burning you alive forever and ever and ever and ever is LOVE?

Doesn't the Koran instruct Muslims to kill infidels and apostates (those who wish to convert from Islam)? Doesn't it also insist that good Muslims must strive to install a theocracy where they live, by violent means if necessary? So, wouldn't a Muslim have to renounce many of the fundamentals of his religion in order to embrace Western-style democracy?

I know that to many it is an illogical idea. I feel extremely strongly that I have a soul. LOL!

If not, can you explain why?

Young children view their parents as bearers of infinite knowledge, so if your parents tell you that the Bible is the Word of God, you will accept it without needing any proof. But once you reach adulthood, you no longer have absolute trust in anyone - so there would be no one who could convince you of God's existence without providing some evidence to support the claim.

I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who, after being raised believing there was no god, decided as an adult that the Christian Bible was substantively accurate. If so, what made you decide this?
