ATTENTION: After answering this question, please google up Bible or Qur'an contradictions and really look in to it. Both of these books contradicts itself mutiple times...... I used to be a preacher(stongly believed in the bible) at my church, I taught sunday school, I attended church like 4 or 5 times a week, and I was raised to believe in God/The Bible. But the day I googled up bible contradictions I've learned that it's all untrue, and when I truly thought about it alot of it doesn't makes since. For example: The story about Job, God is all knowing & Satan knows that God is all knowing(James 2:19). Why would Satan make a deal with God for he could get Job to curse God? Satan(an ex angle) knows that God already knew that Job wouldn't curse him, why make the deal? Would you make a bet with someone that already watched a game and you knew he watched it? No, because it wouldn't make since to do such a thing......anyways, google up bible contradictions..You'll be amazed!

8 Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. 9 For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; 10 and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. 16 So let no one judge you in food or in drink, or regarding a festival or a new moon or sabbaths, 17 which are a shadow of things to come, but the substance is of Christ. 18 Let no one cheat you of your reward, taking delight in false humility and worship of angels, intruding into those things which he has not[d] seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, 19 and not holding fast to the Head, from whom all the body, nourished and knit together by joints and ligaments, grows with the increase that is from God.

to make things clear. i'm a christian with my own orthodox beliefs. i've been browsing the site and saw a lot of christians souting out their faith. they write about how much they pray, how much faith they have, how they are right, that they go to church. i hope i'm not mistaking and explai to me if i am... isn't MODESTY the base of christianity? aren't we supposed to pray in the dark, alone, away from stranger's eyes. in my religion and in catholic too i think, praying out loud is showing off. god can hear you even if you don't scream. religion is not material it's spiritual. am i wrong?

Even with all the fossils we have? And all the evidence of Ice Ages millions of years ago?

If not, then how old do they think the earth is?

I'm taking anthropology in college and I'm just wondering about this...

If you want proof, just take some college level classes on this subject and you'll get all the scholarly proof you need.

I know the fastest growing religion is Islam, yet the religion with the most people is christianity as whole.

Everyday, it seems that Agnostics and Atheists are growing much more rapidly than anyone else. (Well at least in the USA) Why is that? Is it because of the greater scientific knowledge we have, compared to ten years ago? Do you feel like there are lot more of them now? I personally believe that they will surpass christianity in the next ten to twenty years....but that's me. What do you guys think?

When Christians make any comments against homosexuality, they are quoting Leviticus 18:22, which is out of the OT. So since it is not longer valid, why do you use it? Do Christians understand the term hypocrisy? You are quoting a source that you say is no longer valid due to Christ's coming.

Some want to force non-muslims to adhere to muslim principles, but why should others have a foreign religion forced on them? Why should we not criticize islam if we believe it is irrational or harmful? Why should those muslim followers force others to ceremonialize their values when we have our own? We don't need to respect islam if we are not muslims, what good has islam ever done except shed blood?

Inpatient, heparin & Coumadin level have to be right to go home, up & down they go. So tough weird life. Only lately some nice things. Acclaim my well mental, emotional, & spiritual state of being. Not so sure now. Biking, walking again, wonder? My once estranged 30 old emotional / socially challenged son, needs me still. He never had a parent for all practical purpose. He just starting therapy on his own volition (Only way it works). Do I go on? I just don’t care right now… like why life? Please, God does not need glorification to be Love or feel Love. God does not have low self-esteem issues or does God

Other religions have there rules to conform to, law cannot play a part in a religion - providing its recognised. Ie - certain religions have to pray at certain times daily, this cannot be interrupted by law or other means. Jedi, although from starwars is actually a recognised religion - you only need a few thousand followers to make anything a religion status,

Would Nicotinology, Ie worshipping Nicotine - the elite smokers club also be able to claim the "religion" status, providing there are enough followers, and if so - would this be able to bypass the new up and coming anti-smoking laws.?? Ie - must be able to have a smoke break every so many hours, and adequate facilities are to be provided by employers and the goverment. This is a serious question.
