...other than to lessen the pain involved? Do you think that if Hell lasted only 1 year instead of forever that more people would end up there? Why does Hell need to be so unbelieveably bad? It could have been much less so and still achieve the desired results.

Forcing shops etc. to restrict their opening hours on sunday is an insufferable restriction on trade. To many working people sunday is the only day of the week that they can get out together as a family. Why should these 'keep sunday special' religious nutters tell the rest of us how we should spend the day? Do they really expect people to waste their time attending church? A day's shopping is far more enjoyable! And why should Muslims - for whom sunday is NOT in the least bit 'special' - be expected to comply with this humbug? They don't demand that christians - or anyone else - must 'keep friday special' do they?

To me, from an outside perspective, I can't think of many examples in which an organized religion has really promoted women. Maybe Epsicopalians, because they support the ordination of women....

Just look at the Baptists, who have openly come out against having female preachers.

Look at the Muslim and Amish Communities where women have to wear veils.

Do you think the Dali Lama would ever be a woman? Even Scientology is focused around a guy. Muhammed, Jesus, and Moses were all men, no surprise there. Do you think an orgainzed religion would ever be focused around a woman?

So women, my question is this. Why do you put up with these stupid religions that seem to be so focused on keeping you one step behind men?

Is it because the true geological age of the Grand Canyon conflicts with the creationist story that it was formed during the great flood in the Bible. Why has the National Parks service been gagged like this?

He suffered and died on the cross at Calvary for YOU and me...because we could never be reconciled to God by anything else but by the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. For all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God and the wages of sin is DEATH but the gift of God is ETERNAL LIFE through Jesus Christ our Lord. So will you accept Him into your heart today? because tomorrow may be too late.

Did Christ disagree with Satan concerning his ability to give him all of the Kingdoms of the World?

Matthew 4:8,9 - the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."

While on this Earth, Christ admitted that someone other than himself was the current ruler of the world.

John 18:36 Jesus said, "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place."

Just before his crucifixion, Yeshua alluded to Satan's status as the current ruler of the world:

JOHN 14:30 "I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me." (NKJV)

Satan is called the God of this World.

Col 4:4 - In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not.

In their congregations, when they greet each other, are they trying to pierce through the mask to dig up the dirt and label each other hypocrites "not true Christians"?

When a Pope during WWII remains absolutely passive while Jews were being gassed, when Anglican bishops and catholic priests in Rwanda actively cooperate with the genocide is it enough to say that they were "not true Christians" and keep doing business as usual?
Isn't this the same argument Communist sympathizers used in reference to Stalin, Mao, Castro, Pol Pot when they claimed that they were "not true Communists"?
But doesn't the fact that your Religion or Ideology fostered so many monsters have enough weight of itself to raise serious doubts about the soundness of the general belief?

I mean, I'll admit, the techno music would get on my nerves after a while, but at least the place would be neat, well-kept, and there would always be friendly people to talk to.

"There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every affair under the heavens."
Is it time now for the Catholic Church in England and Wales to initiate the process towards complete separation of Church and State?
I really cannot see a reason why religious institutions, adoption agencies, etc., affiliated to a religious community (or institution as those outside the community like to think of it) should have to play ball with those who really ARE NOT INTERESTED in understanding them, and are merely tolerating them at best.
They have a right, as does any community in a democracy, to use their resources as they see fit. Why then, continue to engage with an increasingly secular society who are interested (nominally) in the Church's POV only when talks of money arise (the Church is filthy rich, right?). Does the outreach cause require Catholics to be 'doormats'?
Let the religious communities look after their own affairs and let the secularists support the secular causes.

What scientific proof is there for the proposition that "all men are created equal, endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights"?

I certainly believe that, but I would assume those who say that we must be led by science and reason, not religion, would demand more proof than I would.

So, where is YOUR proof?

For this question, we will presume god exists, the bible is god's literal word, and it is accurate. What does this mean?

KJV

1 cor 6:9Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,

10Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.

11And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Does that mean drunkards can't go to heaven, or that they can since some were washed and sanctified? If so, can the effeminate and "abusers of themselves with mankind" also go to heaven following the same procedure?

I do believe in Jesus, isn't she judging me? she does not look at my emails, she said one time that I am on a different path then she is on, and she ignores me, and a couple times I brought her over some pizza I made she rejected it, and I came back home crying, I feel like giving up on church just like my other friend did. They were friends too. she makes me feel worthless. All I want to know isn't that a form of judging someone?

My younger sister is attacted to women and is currently in a relationship with another woman. Me, and the rest of my family are very concerned for her well being, as we believe homosexuality to be a terrible sin. Is there anyway Jesus can cure her homosexuality? I keep hearing that he can, but so far, I don't know of any real world examples in which Jesus cured somebodies homosexuality.
