The Catholic church are demanding to be exempt from new gay rights laws in regard to adoption. Should they be granted this exemption? They're threatening to close down adoption agencies they run rather than adopt out children to gay couples! and whats more the government is thinking of giving in to their bigotry . How do you feel about this? i personally think its disgusting.

Don't other groups assimilate pretty well? I just don't hear of so many assimilation problems with religious bodies except for Muslims. Am I wrong?

I am asking this question because I have always wondered but never really got a clear answer. My parents were calling themself christians but didn't really go to church or had a bible. Now I know the story in the bible so no need to explain that to me.
It is just that someone that wasn't even a catholic once told me that the difference is this: non catholic christians pray to Jesus and catholic pray to Virgin Mary.
Is this true?

just hear me out, ok? math explains things even if we cannot see them or even if we don't have the technology to empirically test/support theories. if the math works out in the most complex of situations, we can be very confident that we are right...we knew the thrust and angle and all that good stuff that we needed to send satellites (and later dogs, monkeys and eventually people) into space b/c the equations told us the answers and it worked. why can math explain the universe so precisely? it is more than theory it is TRUTH. your thoughts?

Last time I said "Christians only please!" Most of my answers were from bashers instead. Have a little respect. You bashers have 10,000 other questions you can answer on this site. Don't be rude and disrespectful by answering please.

Christians - First of all, do you believe the gift of tongues practiced in the pentacostal churches today is the same gift of tongues spoken of in Acts?

Secondly - Does anyone believe it isn't real or it isn't from God?

...from someone who REALLY knows. In other words, if a muslim scholar would put the rumors to rest, I'd appreciate it. The main rumor I heard is that Muhammed married her when she was six years old, and had sex with her by the time she was eight... Right? Wrong? Set us straight, please.

The kid that was abducted for 4 years that was found along with the other boy---his parents were on the Montel Williams show in 2003 with Sylvia Brown. I just saw a clip of this last night. They ask her about him and she told them that he had been abducted by a dark skinned person with dreadlocks in his hair and that he was not alive and that his body would be found by two large boulders. So, in 2007 he's found alive. Where could she have gone wrong? Is she for real or did her spirits lie to her or was she just having a bad day? Montel Williams had no comment for the news organization doing the story. Your opinion?

Over the years the Christians "unchaning" deity has changed a lot. I guess the excuse is that now they "better" understand the message. When evolution was discovered christianity adapted to incorporate theories of evolution.

Now that it is being observed that Earth is not unique, as far as topograpical features, will the God theory adapt to say that God created many Earthlike planets but only one with life?

The 4th commandment states:

Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath day of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work; you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.

Did Jesus keep the Sabbath as a part of God's law?
Luke 4:16:

"And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up: and, as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read."

If we are not to worship and honor the Lord on the sabbath then what does this commandment mean?

I am trying to help my dtr find her bio father. His name is Robert Cooper. He has 2 brothers (Ronnie/Kem) He has 2 sons Robbie and Brandon. He lived in Coral Gables, Fla when she was concieved. His brother Kem (wife Michelle and dtrs Amber/Christian) lived in Enterprise, Alabama. His parents lived in the Baltimore, Maryland area. He is black. 6'1". 180 lbs. Very good looking and a smooth talker. Brianna (my dtr) is 15 yrs old. We want nothing (money wise or anything). She feels incomplete and wants to meet him soooo bad. We are very happy and she is something to be very proud of. Again do not be afraid that we are seeking anything other than just wanting to meet him. I have gone to sites and tried contacting people I thought might be him or a relative and have come short. It just hurts knowing that all she wants to do is meet him and feel complete. She is a great child. Honor student/ active in theater arts/ and she looks sooo much like him, he will cry if he sees her

Seems like theories that contradict The Bible are thrown out, while those that don't touch The Bible are wholeheartedly accepted. Anyone else notice this strange behavior?

Allah is an arabic word used for god. Allah = God(one). ok.
Allah is also the name of the arab pagan moon god(fact). It(allah) was then used for God(abrahams god).
To all muslims who argue that allah is not a moon god:

why is the flag of ISLAM a crescent moon with a star?
