I think abortion is wrong. I'm not saying that because I think some invisible thing would burn me in hell if I said otherwise, but because I think it's wrong to kill anything that's alive. Fetuses in the womb can react to music, which, to me, is a sign that they're not just bundles of cells.
I'm not trying to piss anybody off, just wanted to know what you guys thought.

I've suffered an (unseen) disability for 12 years, and pondered why God hasn't healed me.
Don't tell me it was Him testing me. 12 years of constant pain, suffering, humiliation? No living being with any compassion whatsover, let along a supposed 'all-loving God' will allow me to keep getting my hopes up, then crashing them to the ground as I realise I truly can't do what almost everyone can do, time and time again.
12 years of trying to passionately reach my goals, only to have this condition stop me- no matter how I persevere.

And don't tell me it's my fault, because i don't have enough faith. You don't know my levels of faith (which clearly, are fading).
Don't tell me it's Satan. That's rubbish. if that were true, all the promises 'if two shall join in my name,' would have caused any possible evil spirits to flee my body long ago.

It's just this f**ked up world we live in.

is there a God? i don't know. But if there is, moderChristianity's representattion of Him is surely wrong

God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we, murderers of all murderers, console ourselves? That which was the holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet possessed has bled to death under our knives. ..."

And the slave owners thought that the ones who were opposed to them owning slaves were taking away their "right" to own slaves.

There were many people of that time who argued that people should just mind their own business about it. Sound familiar?

Legalized abortion is today's Social Darwinism bringing its ugly head back up again. It's a license for the strong (abortion supporters) to have a legal choice to take the life of those innocents who have no choice, who can't fight back against the blade of the abortionist, and who are an inconvenience to someone because they are "not ready yet to have a baby".

It’s illegal to destroy a turtle egg but legal to kill an unborn baby at the whim of the mother. I guess the mother’s nurturing instinct is dead.

We learned nothing from history because it has repeated itself. History will judge us again as being a barbaric society. Our attitude as a society is no different than Cain's attitude about the murder of Abel.

I am seriously curious to know why someone would choose to not believe the Bible and live the way it says to. What if you are wrong? If christians are wrong, at least they have nothing to lose. We would die and that's it. But if a non-believer is wrong are you really ready to face an eternity of hell? Why not believe even if it might not be true? What if there is eternity for the soul after death? If we live every day for Christ and die and find out we are wrong, what have we lost? NOTHING! But a non-believer will suffer in hell for all of eternity. Who is willing to risk this? I am serious and I would appreciate it if the answers would be also!!!!

To illegal drug use?

1. It is the "other" person's body.
2. It is their choice.
3. They are the one paying for it.
4. "Nobody else" is really getting hurt.
5. It would be "safer" if prescribed by a trained physician.
6. We shouldn't try and "force" other people to acquiesce to our views of "right and wrong".

What do you think? If we used pro-abortion morality across the board, would we have to legalize cocaine and heroin (and etc) due to freedom of choice/privacy?

IF THIS IS NUTS, WHY ISN'T ABORTION?

Adam was walking alone in Eden sighing. God comes to him and asks him why he is sad.
"Well, look. See that camel? It's got a partner...and that Zebra..." Adam pointed.
God shook his head in understanding. "I WILL BE BACK IN THREE DAYS WITH THE SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM." God said. Three days later, God appears and says "ADAM, I'VE GOT IT. I SHALL CREATE FOR THEE A WOMAN."
Adam perks up. "A what? What is a Woman?"
"A WOMAN WILL BE THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CREATURE I HAVE EVER CREATED. SHE WILL LIVE TO SERVE YOU AND ONLY YOU, SHE WILL KNOW YOUR EVERY DESIRE BEFORE YOU DO, SHE WILL..."
"Awsome!" Cried Adam. "Give me twelve...wait." he paused for he knew God very well. "What will I have to give you for this Woman?"
"NOTHING REALLY. JUST YOUR RIGHT LEG, A LUNG, A KIDNEY, YOUR LEFT TESTICLE..."
Adam thinks about this for a minute. "What can I get for a rib?" he asks.

For those men who complain about why women are the way they are, it's your fault!

I don't see many Christians on Yahoo Answers, so there aren't many people for you to annoy. Maybe you people are just trying to teach each other how to annoy Christians.

I know this isn't an orthodox question, but I beg you to bear with me and help our family.

My grandfather's dog might possibly have bone cancer, and we need all the prayers we can get for her recovery. This dog is very important. She's a retired service dog who belonged to my grandmother after she was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. After my grandmother died, Star became one of the most important beings in my grandfather's life, and if she were to go now, he'd just be crushed.

I know there are many of you out there who consider your dogs a family member and would hate to see your dog in a horrible situation like this. I'm asking all of you from the bottom of my heart to send up a small prayer for the recovery of our dog. You have no idea how much of a positive impacked you will have just by doing this!

Thank you so much for your help!

I see a lot of pictures of a white Jesus with long blond hair and blue eyes. Do you think this is the way Jesus really looks? Not that I really care but this is an issue my friends and I were discussing. If you need more reference, go back to Revelations. It said Jesus had hair like wool. Nappy hair...duh!

The wise man builds his house on the rock.
The foolish man builds his house on the sand.

This was a parable given by Jesus, meaning - those who hears His words and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears Jesus words and do not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against the house, and it fell with a great crash.

What is your life built on - the Rock (Jesus Christ) or the sand?

Becuase most of athiest argument is basically that the Bible is written&put together in a way that they cant immediatly understand.And that their carnal brain alone cant understand;seems to me atheist really arnt willing to dig deeper&learn to believe with their heart¬ just their mind.The Bible is written and put together in a way,that only those that are believing with their heart first will understand.Cuase if the heart is involved then a person would take the time to figure out&properly understand what is being said and what verses go together,what is unique to the particular time&what is refrencing future generations,what is in God's time&what is in man's time.Athiest,true or false,you really dont want to search&think more than you think you should have to.So intead of perservering in understanding,you take the easy road&just give up cuase you dont want to think that hard?

I was reading that when Joseph Smith was translating the plates that his friend lost Lehi's portion of the plates (or I guess Nephi's account of Lehi.) This means that the originals of the rest of what your book was translated from is still out there. Where is it located at this time?

*Serious question. I spent many years in a Mormon church, but never heard anything about this. I just read it on Wikipedia.

They say

"It's not about killing a baby, it's about having a choice."

A choice to do what? Oh...to legally choose to kill an unborn baby.
