State your non/religous label

The Innocent Deaths...

The Abused Children...

The Starving Masses...

The Penniless...

The Hopeless...

It's time to stop praying...

... And it's time to start acting.

Prayers are well wishes. But what if YOU actually did something to try to fix any of those problems? Instead of telling the man who's trying to build a house "Good luck", actually helping?

I always hear about how we should pray for this group of people, pray for that group of people. I think that prayers can be strong things, don't get me wrong.

But it won't put food in a starving man's stomach.

It won't clothe a woman in poverty.

It won't even aide to close the wounds of abused children.

I say it's time to stop standing on the side-lines. Get active in the Global Community. Go to New Orleans, Solomon Islands, ANYWHERE hit by ANY disaster to help them rebuild.

Give your old clothes away.

Adopt a child. If not, soothe a child you know who's been abused. Give toys to an orphanage.

I JUST returned to the faith, (like less than a month ago) and my "church" has been in the comfort of my own home, reading the bible, praying, getting info and questions answered online, and inspiration from a few televised preachers such as joel olsten and gregory dickow. I want to be in a church enviornment but honestly i am afraid that i'll get scared away by some people who might come on a little strong and ask constant questions "oh whats your name?" "how come your here by yourself?" "what made you decide to come to our church?" Honestly it freaks me out. is it rude to keep quiet and to myself in church and not really socalize? or is there some tips anyone might have to help me not get scared and maybe be more "friendly"? thank you

If you Christions cant show me a God by 7:00 pm 17 May 2007 Then you have to admit there is no God. And that us Atheists have been right all along. None of your lame excuses. You better get trucking. Can you do it?

time and space exsists because the human mind and body cannot comprehend all of reality at one given moment, so it is broken down into chunks that it can manage.

Wouldn't that mean that we are born with the god given ability to manipulate time and space? If so do you think we would be able to tap into this ability and alter reality further?

I am asking this in Religon because I want to get a philisophical opinon on the question.

That we are simply just an intelligent life form, so intelligent that we communicate extremely well, we can feel love and hate, happiness and sadness. Also that the world is natural, I cannot explain it as nobody can. It is so beautiful to see a day dawning or fresh snow or bright sunshine. Science appears to have explained many things we did not know and ideas are updated as and when they are discovered. I don't hurt anyone either or believe in wars. Am I strange or just completely normal?

If evolution were to be proven true, how would it change your religious beliefs.

**This is obviously directed toward those who believe evolution has not been/could not be proven, but anyone may answer.

Just once to stop the killing, fighting and separation of humankind that the question of his existence brings? Which in turn would save millions and more from hell for not being believers? If god just showed (himself) once and proved his existence, so many would believe and not have to burn in hell for all eternity. Why wouldn't a compassionate god do that..? Your thoughts christians? My fellow Atheists, please chime in as well!

The correct date for Noah's deluge is from Nov.1, 2345 B.C. (Gen.7:11), to Nov.11, 2344 B.C. (Gen.8:14).

Our Hallowe'en and All Soul's days are still kept in commemoration of the deluge.
