I was told it was the cardinals and that they let it be known when they are all in agreement when the white smoke appears.....but it can take days for this to appear.....why does it take so long sometimes when surely they all follow the same scripture and bible and teachings....Doesn't God give them some idea of who it should be seeing as the pope is going to be His voice on earth.....Religion is so confusing :o)

Would you agree that when someone actually understands evolution, they have no choice but to 'believe' it? A lot of religious people tend to have no clue what they're talking about when it comes to evolution.

Do you think this might influence the hearts and minds of diabetics who are opposed to stem cell research on moral or religious grounds?

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article1637528.ece

"Diabetics using stem-cell therapy have been able to stop taking insulin injections for the first time, after their bodies started to produce the hormone naturally again.

In a breakthrough trial, 15 young patients with newly diagnosed type 1 diabetes were given drugs to suppress their immune systems followed by transfusions of stem cells drawn from their own blood....."

Try tell us what you think about this issue without bashing, Thanks! Love ya all!

I've been on this site since November of last year. I used to adore christians and would defend them vehemently. What I'm learning from R&S is that the majority of christians here are not at all what I know Jesus to have been represented in the bible to be. Can you change my mind? If so, how? Remember, I'm just one.. I guarantee I represent many more. Is this the witness you want me to see?

Some people do such a good job of assailing each other's faith/non-faith on here that I'm amazed so many of you stay around.

Can't we all just get along?

This question was just brought up at work, and it made me think. One of my co-workers is a faithful member of a church, and stated that she watches Creflo Dollar (not sure if thats spelled correctly) just as faithfully as she goes to church. Another Christian co-worker began to tell her that she should only seek church leadership from one source and not both. He stated that it was like being a member of two churches. What are your views on this topic?

As I listen to the groaning of creation for its Creator, heard in every ally and every bar and every church and every heart, I will hope. For every Human cry, there is an answer. Hungry was not created for the sake of being hungry, but for the sake of the experience of being filled with what is good. I dont know much, but I do know this: those who hunger and thirst will be satisfied.

Is it all just s3elfishness and greed locked in a perpetual and fruitless chase, or is it possiable that we were made hungry like this by a Creator who is also driven by desire? I am inclined to believe the latter. I cannot fathom that all me needs and wants have everything to do with little ole me.

I was recently having a conversation with a friend on this subject. She said she had heard it was because when you die your possessions go to your spouse and that the church didn't want to lose any properties that their priest may own. This seems a little silly but I don't know the answer myself.

Deny the deity of Christ, they deny the Trinity, Jesus'
physical resurrection, and salvation by grace through faith.
How can they be Christian?

I hate working at UPS, I am a part-time package handler.I get wrote up everyday. My supervisor and boss yells at me. I get disrespected everytime I go to work. Everytime I look up it is time for work. I make $8.50 a hour and I am 22 years old.

Why is God torturing me. I can't take it anymore. I just want to give up and die. I hate my job, I hate it. I am so scared of life. I am so scared. I just want to give up.

I am in so much debt, from credit cards, and going to Chicago State University.

I owe Chicago State University $5500.00
I owe my credit cards over $1500.00. All I did was buy gas for my car.

I don't have any kids, who is going to take care of me when I get old.

I can't even see my face. I have no clue what my face looks like. I look in the mirror, but I don't think that what my face looks like. It looks a lot different to other people. I have never seen my face.

I hate my job, I hate it so much. I go to work in the next hour.

from what i've read yes. He gave women to man so that man can have a companion and something to dominate over. The bible says women have their place and it should not be over man.

why is god sexist?

A "gay friendly" church would be any one that allows gay members without attempting to convert or change them.

Some churches like this include but are not limited to:
Unitarian Universalist
Sunshine Cathedrals
Science of Mind
Dharma Centers
some 2nd Presbyterian Churches

Any others that I am missing?

I'm working on a presentation for something I am doing with the youth about temples and am wondering which ones you think are the most beautiful. All of them are beautiful, obviously, but I'm looking for some very distinguished temples that are different and beautiful (i.e. Logan UT or Oakland CA).

Christians and NON stupid people only.

Do you guys think that all of these kids (im young myself) that dress like FallOutBoy and Avril Lavigne and every other fad in society, and still CLAIM to be Christians are doing more harm to the spreading of our Faith and not to mention our reputation among nonbelievers. Our notability and credibility is shriviling in my eyes due to these posers that CLAIM to be Born again, yet they are not seperated from this world at all.....What do you guys/gals think?
