When the bible specifically says that you shouldn't worship false idols, why do Catholics worship the Virgin Mary and such? If there is only one true God and he says you shouldn't pray to others, isn't that exactly what Catholics are doing? And by the way, who gave them the right to make a human a saint? A human CANNOT declare whether someone is a saint or not because we're all sinners. Only God is supposed to be able to have that kind of power. And why is the chuch so afraid to recognize that Jesus was a human and could have been married and had a child? I was raised christian but i just don't understand why so many Catholics worship false idols and feel they can make up the religious rules. Can someone please explain this to me?

According to Christians, will Prophets before Jesus (PBUH), such as Moses (PBUH), enter Heaven? I know that Christians believe that you can only enter Heaven if you believe Jesus is God and your Savior. The Prophets before Jesus (PBUH) did not believe this.

Dosen't this proves Christianity is not true? What do you(christians think)? I just got it from :http://www.evilbible.com/Jesus_Lied.htm

) And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, `Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it will happen. "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." (Matthew 21:21-22 NAS)

4) Amen, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be lifted up and thrown into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart but believes that what he says will happen, it shall be done for him. Therefore I tell you, all that you ask for in prayer, believe that you will receive it and it shall be yours. (Mark 11:24-25 NAB)

A woman walks in to a room and speaks to a Christian man and asks "How do you know that God is on the otherside of death waiting for you? Are you ever scared what could happen after this?"
As the man was about to answer there was a scratching at the door, the man opened the door and his dog ran in and was wagging his tail overjoyed to see his master. As he calmed and petted the dog he said "this is my dog and she has never been here before. She had no idea what possible dangers could be on the other side, but she did know her master was in here and that was all she need to know"

I hope this helps when you are explaining the glory of God
And what is instore for us after this life

We got high in the church, we "hot boxed" the confessionals we broke all the windows and tore down the cross that was still standing we even urinated on it and other places around the church. And lastly I lost my virginity in it and took another girls as well.

I am being 100% serious; I actually did all of this.

Looking back on it I feel kinda bad, but I still dont really believe in god, I just sorta feel bad for destroying something on a historic level more then religious.

Down the line if I find god, can I still be forgiven?

About a month ago I signed up on eBay and selected the username "god.is.fake".

The other day eBay took administrative action against my account because my username contained "profanity". I really don't understand their position. There are users called "godislove", "godisalive", "jesussaves" ... the lists goes on and one. How they can allow one user to express their religious beliefs and prevent another from doing the exact same thing. Is this one for the ACLU?

Im by no means racist to any ethnic group. I appreaciate different cultures and i've traveled to Africa, South east Asia, and Europe and i've seen and embraced different cultures. But people at church arent like that, We are the only black family in our church and alot of people especially the older generation tend to look @ us, I dont know if its envy or anger but they tend to imply that we might be "well off" but we are still n*gg**s. It doesnt bother me, because if anything I feel superior over them, they cant get over the fact that blacks arent 2nd class citizens anymore and that we are making more money than them. I dont hate whites, everyone at school is white and I dont have hatred for their race. Im happy being black, im not "black and proud" im just happy in my own skin and whites,latins,asians,..everyone needs to be happy in their own skin and move on from the past. Once we learn and embrace each of our cultures, racism wont be any issue.

I want a Catholic version of the Bible, with all the books in it (including the 7 left out of Protestant versions).

However, all of the Catholic versions I have read don't have the "thee's and thou's" in it like the King James version, and I think those make the Bible more interesting and genuine.

Does anyone know where I can get a Catholic Bible written in the old English text?

So last night I asked my wife about putting her feminine energy into some silver, or some crystals. I wanted her to do that so I could have her energy to boost mine, since I am male. She told me no, she said cause she and I are soul mates that her energy already flows into me.
That the intention is all that matters, she contends.

Do you believe this to be true? That intentions are important more so than crystals or other objects made out of matter, since what's important is the intention of the energy?

Isn't all this irrelevant to you? Or should we read something into your protest and pre-occupation with things you apparently don't believe exist? What else is there that you don't believe exists that but that you concern yourself with daily? Is it possible there is a still small voice deep down that helps bring you here...? And if there was, would you even know it or admit it?
