And why do you never see people carrying placards that read 'God Hates Sabbath-Forgetters' or 'God Hates the Covetous'?

Superstition is the irrational belief in the significance of a particular thing or event.

What percentage of your thinking do you think fits into this category?

Scripture clearly tells us salvation is conditional. Also, Christians are not accepting the very words of our Lord, of the Bible?

Here is what I asked:

I think you should read Mt. 7:21-23.

Christians beware! Jesus himself said, Not everyone who calls me Lord, Lord will enter the Kingdom of Heaven, but only those who do what my father in heaven wants them to do. When the judgment day comes, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord! In your name we spoke God's message, by your name we drove out many demons and performed many miracles!’ Then I will say to them, ‘I never knew you. Get away from me you wicked people!’ Mt 7:21-23

The will of God is to be obedient and repent of our sins, not give in to them. These words of our Lord speaks to everyone. Our Lord, himself, was tempted physically, mentally, and spiritually. The spiritual temptation is knowing the truth but rejecting it. I hope this answers your question. God help us all.

FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD! What verse is this?

You know how we all think to ourselves? Well do you ever pray to God, or think to him in your head?

What if science proves later that this is some mental illness?

How would you feel about that? And if God is proven not to exist with evidence (impossible), would many of you shrivel up and die?

I'm beginning to doubt that my uncle is an atheist from some of the atheists answers from another question but he went to church as a Christmas present for his ex wife. Now an atheist who answered another question said that he doubts my uncle is an atheist because he will say to others May your God bless you & the other day he said maybe there is a higher power. So do you have any idea why he wouldn't come out & say he believes??

What if an atheist is a good person who helps humanity and tries to be better as a human being everyday But he does not follow the laws imposed by God such as the first commandment etc... For he does not believe in GOD obviously, would he go to hell even though he is a good person? If so, do you think that is fair?

What type of misinformed idiots actually believe that these two religions are actually the same? If anyone actually read up on Wicca at all they would realize that Wiccans don't believe in the concept of the devil, no do they do the horrible things that are often connected with it. No Wiccan would ever kill animals or people. We are taught to believe that all life (even that of insects) is sacred!

Example: late stage cancer makes a seemingly inexplicable disappearance. Doctors are baffled.

One Christian interpretation: "It was an act of God. A miracle. I don't just BELIEVE it was God, I KNOW it was God." This is a direct quote, by the way.

How is it that one might absolutely KNOW this event was attributable to God? Are all inexplicable events "acts of God" or only certain ones? If only certain ones, is there a way to tell the difference?

The end is in sight for my first book, its about America's religious heritage, and now I'm starting to think more about future books, Here are three ideas.

1) Refute the great book "Age of Reason" by Thomas Paine. I'm always up for a challenge

2) Study the church fathers basically from the Last Supper to when the Catholic Church was granted sovereignty from Rome, especially all the theologians that were between Paul and Constantine

3) A criticism of the Episcopal Church/Church of England/ Anglican church. Many within them are trying to change the marriage laws and endorse homosexuality, and basically I will compare them to their founder, the King of England, who created the Church of England because the Catholic Church would not grant him divorce. So basically the point would be that the Episcopal Churrch was founded on going against God's laws against sexual immorality and the Episcopal church is carrying on the tradition of their founder.

What do you think? Open to all.

What's to stop an atheist from saying that bestiality is wrong?

You can say it's strange and messed up, but if you're with a pet, and you both show affection with each other, how can you say that it is MORALLY wrong?

Weird? Yes. But not INHERENTLY wrong.

You need God to have absolutes.

This is where morality comes from.

And, if you answer this question, don't DODGE the question. Don't say things like, you're weird, or that's a stupid question.

ACTUALLY answer it.

for the wonderful cosmetic job it has done on us humans. I am so thankful to evolution for the small of a woman's back and her waist/hip diffrential (so crucial in survival) and oh yes, the wonderful, almost surreal look of a puppie's face. I also want to thank evolution for the diversity in nature. The look of non-medicinal flowers and the different tastes and looks of fruits and veggies is also so critical to our survival. oh, the music is playing! did I forget anyone? thanks evolution!!! =)

I've been doing a lot of thought lately.

I want to pull out a fast for myself, to help me meditate in different ways, however, I'm worried about a few things.

1. How much water am I allowed a day?
2. How long is safe?
3. I'm fat, but losing weight. Will it cause me to put on more weight when I am done?
4. Can I safely exercise while fasting?
6. [This is no joke] In a fast, am I allowed to masturbate, or must it be total deprivation?
7. Will this actually help me understand my spiritual self?


Also, if you have anything else to say, please, do.

Note: I'm not a Muslim
