Is it some kind of Catholic rule that Catholics can not tolorate non catholics? I see a lot of prejudiced opinions and most of them are coming from people who are supposedly Catholic. Scares me..if the Catholics are going to save the world some day as they believe then maybe they should just shut and do that.

People always say when someone dies they go to heaven. Or so and so is in heaven. IF that is the case then what is judgement day as mentioned in the bible? I dont know the answer but it is confusing. How can people be in heaven if they havnt been judged yet?

Is it just because I live in the US and am exposed to it constantly? Or do they truly believe that the universe revolves around them?

I just read on Yahoo news that a bunch of coins were lacking "In God we Trust" on the edges. Personally, I did not think this was a big deal. So what if the coins lack that? I don't even care about that on any kind of currency, and in the article they say it needs to be corrected? Nothing personal to anyone, but I think we could spend money and time better than trying to put some religous saying on a coin's edges.
Does anyone have any comments or concerns about this? You could also tell me a good reason why this should be necessary. (Yeah, right)

Jahovas Witnesses have been coming to my house for over a year. I am always polite but today I told them I find it so offensive they would come to my house to explain to me how my beliefs are in error and I should immediately change to their way of thinking. They are very arrogant to think they are the only true religion and please do not come to my house again. I wasn't ugly and never raised my voice but I am really annoyed.

How do you feel when they come to your door?

Please note I did not specify my religiocity one way or the other so please do not assume you know how I feel about this. Just answer the question with your opinoin. Do not decide for me what my opinion is or insinuate that I have an opinoin at all. Please just answer with your opinoin. Please do not change my question and then answer that question. Please just answer the question I posed with your own honest opinoin. I am not concerned with what the RIGHT answer is. I am only interested in your HONEST opinoin.

If you feel the need to answer my question with another question or revise my question in any way , please include a claus that I can use in the future to avoid said answers.

as you might be able to tell I am not religous but i want to know what is the deal in the buy-bull it says that a man left his wife cause she was menstruating on her wedding day and an "evil" spirit "layed" with her and she became pregnant. I was menstrating on my wedding day as well and I got pregnant by my husband and I had my beautiful son. So what is the big deal about getting pregnant on your period? I just wanna know.

I know I am. Ive lied when i know its wrong. And yet, i teach my children not to lie. (just one example). My question is generated around comments ive read in some of the answers posted in this forum. It seems that alot of people seem to think that because someone is a Christian, that they have to beyond doing wrong. Or think of themselves as "better" than someone else. Were not. *Were sinners just like everyone else. Im not trying to offend anyone or bash any one belief system, but in the end, arent we all hypocrites on one level or another?

*(If a Christian disagrees on this point, or does hold themselves up as "Holy-er than thou"..I for one question their faith)

If you are against gay marriage, why do you think there are straight people who are for gay marriage, not just gay people? Also, why do you think there are Christians, not just non-Christians who are for gay marriage?

A seperate question, but one I am curious to, some people have compared this to the issue of whites and blacks getting married. Do you feel this is a fair or unfair comparrison? I've heard it stated that because people had no choice in being white or black that its ok for them to be married. Is this your position?

I also would like to learn about how Aaron's rod turned into a snake and ate Pharaoh's servants' snakes.

Church science holds the key to many such mysteries, if I'm not mistaken...

Question: Anybody know how to get a degree in church science, and how long it takes?

I shall confound the atheists!

Would you be upset if a teacher told your child they couldn't sing their song in the school talent show because is was a gospel song. If so why?

i was raised in the church (cult). i guess i still really have issues about how isolated i felt growing up in a religon that said everything the majority of the population is doing is wrong. i quit going at 16...when i basically had a choice and really resent everything they taught. does anyone else need therapy after attending?

I heard that the Episcopal church believes almost everything the Catholic church believes, expect Episcopalians don't recognize the Pope as their authority. Does this mean that Espicopalians, like Catholics, don't take the Bible literally? How else do the two denominations differ?

The Book of Exodus:
4:21 And the LORD said unto Moses, When thou goest to return into Egypt, see that thou do all those wonders before Pharaoh, which I have put in thine hand: but I will harden his heart, that he shall not let the people go.
7:3 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, and multiply my signs and my wonders in the land of Egypt
7:13 And he hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.
7:14 And the LORD said unto Moses, Pharaoh's heart is hardened, he refuseth to let the people go

Why did Moses even bother asking? What about god or the situation prevented him from "softening" the pharaoh up a little bit?

And when all the firstborn babies and children throughout Egypt were slaughtered, was it the Pharaoh's "fault"?

(Please no "the bible is fairy tales" or "there is no god" answers, I know all that, this is aimed at believers and their perspective)

If there is a God, wouldnt God not be "he" or "she", but "it" instead. God should be considered sexless since he is beyond the material world.
Most would describe God as a male because (1)God created Adam in the image of himself. (2)Jesus being a man was the reincarnation of God.
If God is considered a man, whats the point of his sexual organs? He creates without the need of a physical form, yet he is assumed to have these reproductive organs which makes a man a man.
Also, Why did God imprenate Mary with Jesus when he could have made him out of dirt like Adam?
Prior to the birth of Jesus, God was considered to be one not three, right? Than where does the holy ghost fit in or was God a two part God?

Christ's teachings are ignored more by Christians than any other religious groups. If a rich man has less chance to go to heaven than a camel thru an eye of a needle, why is the Vatican chock a block with work of arts?
All religions are created by men and perpetuated by mothers on infants. What u learn in infancy, is almost impossible to unlearn.

Did they get back in their graves later?

Did they remain among the living, and become normal members of society?

Did they recovery from what made them die in the first place?

Did they get their old jobs back, etc?

How did the Roman authorities deal with this situation?

Did they write to Ceasar, exclaiming "Hordes of dead Jews have come to life and are putting a terrible strain on our facilities!"?
