For my sins (even though I haven't commited any).
Atheist etc...
Won't I simply pass out - or get used to the pain after 2 hours? Won't the nerve endings be destroyed etc?

If we are to believe what he says he thinks about homosexuality, it is hard to believe that he would then choose to be attracted to members of the same sex. I'm a heterosexual, an Eastern Orthodox Christian, and I think homosexual acts are immoral, but, on the other hand, I have always felt that the Evangelicals who claim that people choose to be gay makes absolutely no sense. Who we are attracted to is a passion, it is just something that happens to us, what we do about it on the other hand is a choice.

I am making a video of these tactics and how to disprove them. Having been a Christian most of my life should give me an extra boost.

Many Muslims say that Islam discouraged slavery and that Islam had a long-term plan to end slavery on the long run. However, I realize that slavery did not end in Saudi Arabiya (the birth place of Islam and the most holy country for Muslims) until 1962.

Is that what Muslims meant by saying "long-term" plan?

Doesn't God have the power to do anything he wants? Can't He make a person without having it be his son? Just because jesus had no natural father, it does not mean he is the son

I love him, I think he is an awesome Man of God...I read several books he has, and I watch him on t.v. This guy I know told me not to follow his teachings because he is a fake leader or something like that he said. He said that about Creflo Dollar, and Bishop Bell aswell.

I do read the bible myself, but I think Jakes is a great teacher, I am learning a lot and so is my boyfriend. I'm thinking about becoming a member of his church here in my state.

I want to know because if it caused you pain I don't want to be tricked into believing it and have to go through all the pain you went through.

Maybe the sheer beauty of your not wanting me to suffer as you did is one of the most meaningful things we can do as people?

Maybe a great joy will chain-react and be experienced by thousands upon thousands of individuals... and all that joy is found to stem back to that grain of empathy within you right now?

What if like being carried in that poem, "footprints" you can could help carry someone else for a little while.

Bill Gates died in a car accident. He found himself in Purgatory being sized up by God...

"Well, Bill, I'm really confused on this call. I'm not sure whether to send you to Heaven or Hell. After all, you enormously helped society by putting a computer in almost every home in the world and yet you created that ghastly Windows 95. I'm going to do something I've never done before. In your case, I'm going to let you decide where you want to go!"

Bill replied, "Well, thanks, God. What's the difference between the two?"

God said, "I'm willing to let you visit both places briefly if it will help you make a decision." "Fine, but where should I go first?" God said, "I'm going to leave that up to you." Bill said, "OK, then, let's try Hell first." So Bill went to Hell.

It was a beautiful, clean, sandy beach with clear waters. There were thousands of beautiful women running around, playing in the water, laughing and frolicking about. The sun was shining and the temperature was perfect. Bill was very pleased. "This is great!" he told God, "If this is Hell, I REALLY want to see Heaven!" "Fine," said God and off they went.

Heaven was a high place in the clouds, with angels drifting about playing harps and singing. It was nice but not as enticing as Hell. Bill thought for a quick minute and rendered his decision. "Hmm, I think I prefer Hell" he told God. "Fine," retorted God, "as you desire." So Bill Gates went to Hell.

Two weeks later, God decided to check up on the late billionaire to see how he was doing in Hell. When God arrived in Hell, he found Bill shackled to a wall, screaming amongst the hot flames in a dark cave. He was being burned and tortured by demons. "How's everything going, Bill?" God asked.

Bill responded - his voice full of anguish and disappointment, "This is awful, this is not what I expected. I can't believe this happened. What happened to that other place with the beaches and the beautiful women playing in the water?"

God says, "That was the screen saver".

Fundamentalist Christianity. Fascinating. These people actually believe the world is 12 thousand years old. Swear to God! Based on what? I asked them. "Well, we looked at all the people in the Bible, and we added them up all the way back to Adam and Eve, their ages – 12 thousand years." Well, how ******* scientific! Okay. I didn't know that you'd gone to so much trouble there. That's good.

You believe the world's 12 thousand years old? "That's right." Okay, I got one word to ask you. A one word question. Ready? "Uh-uh." Dinosaurs.

You know, the world's 12 thousand years old and dinosaurs existed, and they existed in that time … you'd think it would have been mentioned in the ******* Bible at some point. "And lo, Jesus and the disciples walked to Nazareth. But the trail was blocked by a giant brontosaurus … with a splinter in his paw. And O, the disciples did run a-shrieking: 'What a big ******* lizard, Lord!' But Jesus was unafraid, and he took the splinter from the brontosaurus's paw, and the big lizard became his friend. And Jesus sent him to Scotland where he lived in a loch for O, so many years, inviting thousands of American tourists to bring their fat ******* families and their fat dollar bills. And O, Scotland did praise the Lord: 'Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.'"

Let's say there's two families stranded on an island. A helicopter comes and only has room for two passengers. Once the helicopter leaves there will be no return. The father of one family gives his only child away. The second father tries to give up his child as well but the child refuses and runs away. Should the second father take his place (assuming the other father cannot go)? What's the difference between the two children? In what ways is the second child more honorable or more stubborn?
