People need to be more specific because a thousand different things are meant when people use the word "God," and tons of them aren't Biblical. The word no longer has any meaning. And for those who speak of a Universal force or inner light, perhaps "Supreme Being" is best.

Statement 1: People say that Marijuana is a "gateway drug," but personally, I think 'milk' is a gateway drug/substance. 98% of people that use hard drugs drank milk between the ages of infancy - 5 yrs old.


Statement 2: God does exist - he is what you make him. If I decide to worship a rock and live my life the way I think a rock would expect me too and pray to the rock the way one would pray to the Man upstairs then that works as a God for me. I've tried it, and my prayers were answered about 50/50 in both cases. <~~last line borrowed from George Carlin


The first one is from a response by jennainhiding and the second is from nlywy23.

Is mono to deal with high school kids who make out? Cancer to deal with arrogant cells who think they can control their growth? Hemroids for people who should have eaten more fiber?

Joseph and Oliver prayed for direction concerning baptism. Their prayer was answered by a heavenly messenger. The resurrected John the Baptist appeared to them and gave them the priesthood of Aaron, or Aaronic Priesthood, which has the authority to preach the gospel of repentance and to baptize.

http://www.mormon.org/learn/0,8672,1291-1,00.html

So if this is not true, then how do priest gain the right to baptize? How do they gain the right to have the priesthood?
If any man can have the priesthood then why did Jesus Christ lay his hands upon the 12 Apostles and CONFER that power?

THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO
ST MARK
CHAPTER 3 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:

The former generations created a nonexistent entity that we call god. It is abstract and unknowable. They needed to explain the universe through such an entity of mystery by means of which they can herd thousands of people. And it worked for them. It works for us now. AND it will work for another 1000 years to come. Man needs herdsmen. But man resists the idea of being herded by his own species. Therefore, the herdsmen thought it better to create a superior herdsman whom we call God or Lord or whatever it is...

The Scriptures tells us to .."Believe not every spirit (teaching), but test the spirits, whether they be of God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world".- I John 4:1

So according to scripture .....how do you determine if a teaching is not of God but a lie from the spirit of anti-Christ?

It exists or not. No one should care about if anything named god exists or not. What would be the difference if it existed at all or not would be a better question? The number of evidences to the effect that it existed is equal to the number of evidences affirming that it doesn’t exist.
Take a piece of matchstick and divide it into halves repeatedly. You will find out that since every material has its half your act of division will go into infinity. In other words you will not find the smallest unit because the smallest has its half too. So, there is no a smallest unit. How can a creature that we call god can hold that non-existent smallest unit to make the universe??? This is the proof of the non-existence of a God. But the universe and the flowers and the animals and the human beings are there in front of us in perfect harmony. And there must be a creator behind that harmony. Only an absolutely perfect being which we call god can be the cause of it.

Look at his signature...
The slant of the letter B to the left means not so happy, a pesimist if you will. The O has writing inside of it, that means "something contained and hidden", I am told.
Want to see for your self? You will find it located at the mid to lower right below his picture at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

I do not hate him. I hope he is a Christian like he claims...
I hope that because I want the best for everyone. But he is a human "animal" and wants to be President. (You know, controls the nuc bomb, head of the military, presidential veto)

DO YOU KNOW ANY HIDDEN DETAILS ABOUT BARAKO WE SHOULD KNOW?

Atheists can't be mad at god, dig? If someone asks me to proof read their paper and I give them some criticism does it follow that I'm angry with them?

Who am I?
Why am I here?
Where am I going?

God has answers to our questions.
Each person is still someone of special value in God's sight.
Out of everything God has made, each one is worth making and worth saving. God wants us to enjoy Him now, and live forever.

Jesus said: "I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and believes Him who sent me has eternal life and will not be condemned; he has crossed over from death to life."
John chapter 5 v 24

Do you get tired of the bashing towards us? Does it make your faith stronger when people write hateful stuff about us?
For me, I'm am tired of it, but it only serves to make me even more proud to be a Muslim. Shall we pray to Allah for the terrorists to stop what they are doing? I will do so. I am tired of people of judging us, because of them.
Muslims, let us unite in peace and love to end all hate in this world. Not only to us, but to all that don't deserve it. Let us pray for peace in this world. Allah bless us all.
