The whatever wager, you say you believe in God just so theists shut the hell up, and live in peace with everyone.

Would you consider this?

Don't get all pissy about it either, I heard this somewhere and since I don't read the bible I figured I'd ask those of you who do.

Has Christ ever prevented or stopped the EVERYDAY crimes against defenseless animals, innocent children, good women, elderly people or mentally-incompetent and physically-illed men?

If he reigns with the Father then what has he done to make this a better world to live in?

Where is his COMPASSION and POWER?

Decent humans have done more to help others than Jesus has.

If God does not approve of homosexuality ... then what does a person who thinks they might be homosexual do? I have homosexual thoughts, and I want to be with another man but I know that one day, I would like to marry a woman and have our own children.

But if I am sexually attracted to men ... how to I change that? I can't marry a woman and be not be sexually attracted to her. If I see a naked woman I do not get turned on, but if I see a naked man I will. Most of the time, the Christians that are against homosexuality only talk about how horrible it is, and how it's not what God wants. But what if a homosexual person WANTS to do what Christians say is right? What do the Christians tell that person to do?

Since I am a homosexual person who wants to change, can you tell me what to do? Or is it true that I cannot change my sexual orientation and I will still end up in hell?

I've been going with a friend to a Mormon chuch for the past year. Most of the time, they just sing hymns--it is so beautiful--I just love to listen. It reminds me of the old days--something about purity that I don't see very often. When they sing and play the violin it is so crude but they mean it--and the soft voices--I just want to hear it forever. And it's not as hypocritical as the Christianity I've seen--I've been raised Penecostal--all those people were fake and always in judgment--and these people are really just kind and live by what they teach. That being said, I don't believe that there is a God. Like, I'd like to believe that there is a God, but logically, I know I just can't. I know it doesn't add up somehow. Is it right for me to go to church with my friend if I am basically going for the music and just because I like being around people who seem pure? I don't now pretend to believe in the faith, but I'm worried about my friend thinking she can convert me.

There are many prophetic statements told by prophet Muhammaed about angel Gabriel who took prophet Muhammad's heart away, washed it, cleaned it, and put it back in prophet Muhammad's chest. Prophet Muhammad said that the purpose of that cleaning was to wash out evil feelings from his heart.

The strange thing is that teher are many of prophet Muhammad's companions who said that they saw marks on his chest left over from that washing operation!

Did this really happen?

Okay, this is a discussion on magick, eh? Whoa, like,
conjuring demons, throwing hexes, and predicting the futunre?
Manipulation of the Hodge/Podge to TOTAL WORLD DOMINATION?! No.
First off, any demons that might be around aren't gonna waste time
with Discordians (they're after the Greyfaced Religions, 'cause
the guilt they can lay on them...). Throwing hexes is painful, and
bad for the joints. And if you are worried about the future, and
world domination, then you have no business trying out magick
anyway. So, like, what is Discordian magick, eh? Okay, Discordian
Magick is a way in which the Discordian practicing it (called a
Phool) to either add to or create Eristic Vibes or to deflect or
destroy Aneristic Vibes.

Some Terms:
-----------
Vibes: Psycho-emotional energy given off be humans and other
creatures.

Eristic: Pertaining to Eris; pertaining to chaos in general.

Aneristic: Against Eris; pertaining to order in general.

Phool: one who is aware of the presence an actions of Vibes
and uses Discordian Magick to manipulate the same

Face: An aspect of Discordian Magick; the category of magick

Nature: The end-product of Discordian Magick

Hodge: The pseudo-Zen force of Order in the world

Podge: The pseudo-Zen force of Chaos in the world

The Doctrine: things have a tendency to work out ok in the end

Ju-Ju: The "aftershocks" of Discordian Magick; the long-term
effects.

The Sacred Chao: The image of the Hodge and Podge.

Greyface: One who unconsciously generates Aneristic Vibes.

THEM: A group who consciously generates Aneristic Vibes;
Phools gone Greyface.

Discordian: One who unconsciously generates Eristic Vibes.

Norm: A normal, vibe-unaware, guy-on-the-street. Typically
Aneristic, due to the great amount of ambient Aneristic Vibes
in the world.

Vibes: what they be.
--------------------
Okay, vibes are like energy which is given off by all
creatures. You may know of Vril or Kirlian Aura or Alpha Waves or
some other nonsense. Vibes may or may not be them, its really not
important. What IS important is that they exist, and if they
exist, then they can be manipulated and created and destroyed.
(Destroying waves can be bad Ju-ju. Be careful.) How do we know
vibes are there? Because, if you open up, you can feel them.
You're being hit by them all the time, just most people aren't
aware of them. Next time someone is being extremely chaotic,
notice how that person's actions and presence affect you... the
same for someone being extremely ordered. Sometimes, the vibes
can change your mood, your attitude, even y our health. So, now
that I know the vibes are there, what can I do with them? Okay,
eh? So, there are two basic kinds of vibes: Eristic and Aneristic.
Eristic Vibes are pulses of chaotic energy, while Aneristic Vibes
are pulses of ordered energy... this means the fundamental
concepts of chaos and order, not the waves themselves. (I.E. if
vibes have a structure, both Eristic and Aneristic probably have
the same structure. It is the kind of energy which differs, not
the structure.)Eristic Vibes USUALLY cause Chaos, Discord and
Confusion (the first three Faces (q.v.)) and Aneristic Vibes
USUALLY cause Beurocracy and Aftermath (the last two Faces). I say
USUALLY because, like most things, there are several occasions
when the five will cross over. A Phool must learn to appreciate
the spinning of the Chao, and the counter-push-pull of the Hodge
and Podge, and learn when Eristic Vibes are needed, and when
Aneristic Vibes are needed. As a very general rule, the world
needs more Eristic Vibes... there are far more Greyfaces in the
world than there are Discordians.

What assurance you have of your salvation?

I believe that all forgiven people go to heaven. To be forgiven you need to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior,because He is the way and the truth and the light.
