Did you convert to the faith you are now? From what to what? Protestant to Catholic? Catholic to Jew? Atheist to Mormon? Jew to atheist? And why?

1. God takes the lives of 2,270,365 people. (NOT including Noah's flood, Sodom and Gomorrah, many plagues and famines, etc.

2. Satan gets 10 kills total. Jobs 7 sons and 3 daughters.

Why does God get so many more kills than Satan? Isn't God suppose to be the "good guy?"

If Jesus foresees Judas' betrayal, then it may be argued that Judas has no free will, and cannot avoid betraying Jesus. If Judas cannot control his betrayal of Jesus, then he is not morally responsible for his actions.

Doesn't the Christian Holy Book say, "Men justify the things they do to other men"?
Rules are needed to maintain order. They are "guidelines" to follow. Not the Law!
And adults make "judgement calls'.

If the federal government gives money directly to a religious school or organization in a manner that clearly violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, can anyone sue to stop it? The answer should be obvious: any taxpayer should be able to sue to prevent his or her tax dollars from being used in a manner that is an unconstitutional establishment of religion.

Unfortunately, President Bush and the religious right disagree.

On Wednesday, February 28, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Hein v Freedom from Religion Foundation, a case that threatens to make the federal government completely immune from challenges when it spends money to support religion.

In a 1968 court case, Flast v Cohen, the Supreme Court recognized an exception to the usual rule that a person cannot sue as a taxpayer to stop the spending of money that violates the Constitution. In that case, the Court said that the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment was meant to be a limit on Congress's taxing and spending power and that therefore taxpayers do have standing to enforce its commands.

Hein v Freedom from Religion Foundation is a challenge to the Bush administration's unprecedented attempt to funnel money to religious entities providing social services. In his first days as President, George W. Bush created an Office of Faith Based and Community Initiatives for the purpose of giving money to religious institutions. The question is whether a taxpayer can bring a challenge to this as violating the Establishment Clause.

As suggested by Fisher (2003) in Living Religions, consider the interrelatedness of everything in the cosmos as it is expressed in many indigenous religions. How do you think the importance of these relationships developed? What spiritual purpose do you think they serve for indigenous peoples?

It seems like you just have to somewhat know what the Bible says about God and Jesus but have a lot of faith that if you looked at the rest it would make sense.

Why don't any Christians have their e-mail addresses out?
I know we get bad mouthed allot, but if we can't take some e-mail beating what are we going to do when we step out the door later.
I have been wanting to write to some of you and say that I'm really proud that you still don't give up answering these questions honestly and getting scutinized for it.
I am glad to know there are more people that have the same faith.
Don't you think we should have some communication between us Christians? Even though we will get allot of crap from others.

If you count the number of people god kills in the Bible it is at least 2.5 million confirmed, and an estimated 30 million more. Compare this to "satan" who only has 10 confirmed kills in the bible. How do you justify worshiping a god like this? Or a god that gives you free will only to send you to hell to be tortured if you do something "it" ( I refuse to say "he" in reference to your god. The Abrahamic religions have created a god in man's image) doesn't like? Why give free will if you must believe in god to get into "heaven"? Maybe this is why the world is such a violent place-violent gods. And don't give me crap about Muslims-they and Jews are every bit as crazy as Christians and I would ask them the same thing.

I'm looking for the name of a Christian song, and it has to do with playing baseball. And striking out the first few times, but then after not giving up hitting a home run. It's an older song, I remember listening to it when I was younger. If anyone knows the name- PLEASE help me!

I asked a similar question a while ago and unfortunately many answerers did not get the point I am asking.

My question is very simple: Prophet Muhammed told a woman that a woman has less mind than a man. When the woman asked him about the reason he said that, he told her that the reason is because Islam consider a woman's testimony in a court as a HALF.

I am not asking why a woman testimony is considered HALF (although I would love to). I am asking whether this is he right explanation for why a woman's mind is less than a man.

For example, should I consider a non-educated man (who can hardly write his name) has more mind than a PhD woman just because prophet Muhammed said that?

Is it ever possible that they were "meant" to do it? By that i mean that i have heard of people who have tried numerous times to die,but always fail....because it was not their time to go..is it not true that if it isn't your time.....you won't succeed at it?? My friend did it and i have spent years trying to find some sort of reasoning to explain it...he had a short but very hard life.

Do we need to follow a specific religion to find God? Does faith have to include the regular practice of religion?
Isn't it more important that we treasure the natural beauty around us, and the people, and all the things that happen during life, than trying to not break a few rules?
What is your opinion? Whether your strictly relgious, Atheist or simply floating somewhere imbetween- lets hear your opinion!

some of the theories are good, but I dont think any of it is the absolute truth, just an interpretation of it.

In other words, if you go to heaven and are with God/Jesus, do you think the soul still yerns for loved ones or family still on earth? Isn't this the pinicle of the christian belief?

when ever i "Turn the other cheek" i give my rivals another chance to hurt me.

the problem is when you forgive, people see it a weekness. They dont understand that you are forgiving them, they think that you are scared or something. but when you make them pay they respect you.

people mix between weekness and fogiving, between forgiving and the abilty to beat the crap out of them!

so what is the solution? is there any lines not to be crosed? how can i forgive people that if i fogive them they will see it as a weekness?
