There is a prophetic statement in Sahih Bukhary where prophet Muhammed tells his companions that he saw a female monkey that is being stoned (by other monkeys) because she committed adultery. When prophet Muhammed saw that scene, he helped the monkeys stoning that female monkey!!

That statement really buzzled me:

(1) Is there adultery among monkeys?

(2) Does this mean that monkeys can also legitimately marry and have a marriage licence?

(3) Was that female monkey aware of the consequences of the adultery (can monkeys perceive consequences and laws)?

What fuel keeps hell burning? Eventually, even the biggest cheesy-poof eatin' infidel burns up, so surely it's not just us. Is it fossil fuel based? I can't see hell being particularly environmentally friendly, so I guess wind energy, hydrogen fuel cells, and biofuel (except us non-Christians, of course) are out. Is hell supporting terrorism by buying fuel from contries that hate us? So is hell going to burn out when we run out of fossil fuels?

This isn't your father's panti-es theism!

Today's panti-es theism is about a relationship with the panti-es.

Time is a limitation. Something all-powerful would be able to create anything instantaneously and not be limited by time. So now what?

What if Jesus never died on the cross? What if hi was just a man but not a prophet, what if hi did marry Maria, and what if they had children? How much will this change the religion and disappoint the believers?

"I think that lack of evidence should indicate we need to look at the Universe and see what the Creator (if there is one) would be like." - What does this statement say to you?

I have fallen into the trap of debating a group of atheists many times and it always turns out the same exact way. After wasting 30 mins of my life debating evolution and coming up with numerous points that they can't counter, they will get flustered and then say "well, all atheists don't believe in evolution. you dont know anything about atheists" so then i will spend another 30 mins debating spontaneous life formation and after coming up with some points to counter their beliefs they will say "all atheists dont believe in spontaenous life formation, you dont know anything" and of course the same thing with "big bang" and every other theory until i finally get tired of talking and go home, which is when they consider the debate a victory for them. When atheists are cowards and use these tactics, how does a Christian win a debate with them. They always have another excuse or theory for me to disprove. if I ignore their taunts to debate them they will never shut up. What to do?

Why didn't they just stay in the comfort of their homes and pray? If they can ask God to end it, why bother with the politicians at all?

I was asked to write a palanca for someone, but I've never done it before. I never even heard of one until just recently! Can anyone give me some guidelines? Also, please suggest some encouraging Scripture(s) to use. Thank you!

Grilling: Islamist Schoolmaster Cross-Examined Over Hateful Passages In Arabic Textbooks... video
I mentioned this video a few days ago -- it's the video where a British newshost questions a Saudi-funded school headmistress in Britain is challenged on using textbooks calling Christians "monkeys" and Jews "pigs" -- but couldn't link it at the time as it had been, predictably, removed from YouTube.

We do this to try and turn you towards the Savior. If it were not true.....do you think we (Christians) would be making the effort to begin with?

There is a sense of urgency here.....like a child who has walked out into the path of an oncoming train.

We don't aim to antagonize....we aim to get you saved.....and make you realize that no matter what you think....you do need saving.

We are all sinners in need of a Savior......and the truth is still the truth whether anyone believes it or not.

When the first man and woman sinned, did original sin close the gates of heaven in a sense that no one could go to heaven until the death of Jesus. When Jesus died did He open the gates of heaven in a certain sense? What did He mean when He said He is the Way to the Father. Is it enough to go to heaven by dying to ourselves by doing our daily duties?

You all seem so strong in your beleifs.
Some of you would even die (martyrdom) for your religion/God

How can you have such faith that "your" religion is so true when there are thousands (billions) of other religions out there?

how can you be certain that your religion is the right one?

[please no qouting your holy book]

i don't know if i could ever feel so strongly about any religion :(
and that is going to drive me insane.

I would consider myself a Conservative Christian...and yet is seems clear that we are in the throws of Global Warming...I am seeking to understand why as a conservative Christian that I should not embrace this belief? I am looking for opinions from the Conservatives only please....because only they themselves know the answer...I would appreciate those with negative comments or those embracing assumed knowledge to refrain from answering...Thank you. Have a Blessed Day.
