would the first thing they ask be for God to show Himself or prove Himself?

God is omniscient, omnipotent and all loving.
These three traits collide with the Satan story. As an omniscient being he knew the trouble Satan would be. He could have snatched Satan up and rehabilitated him, giving God's omnipotent attributes. And being all loving you'd think he wouldn't want evil and suffering for his children.

What's up with that?

After all, he created "Everything"! How can "man" worship him and love him if all we can around us is death and destruction? Good people dieing for no reason. Beheadings of the innocent. If there is a God, why does he let this happen? Makes you wonder if there really is a God, doesn't it?

I'm pagan and have been so for a lil while but its very very close to my heart. I'm in love with a wonderful man who happens to be an Aethist, as is much of his immediate family. My mother was raised in a Espicopalean family, and my stepdad is a Church of Christ Christian. My mother knows that I'm pagan as does her sister. My dad knows but doesn't approve of it. I have not told my grandmother because I'm afraid she'll freak out along with some other key members of my family. I want my faith reprented in my wedding but I don't want to upset anybody, but it is my wedding. So I've decided that instead of having a traditional wedding or a handfasting that I want a combination of the two. I'm just not sure how to do it without it looking strange. Any ideas?

So, lets say you individualists out there are carving your own way, the day you really woke up. What brings you the greatest pleasure? Has life made any more sense to you than it does to a garden slug?

Does this mean that we can live a life of sin and be forgiven at our deathbed?

How about...............
proof of their religious beliefs?
being programmed to believe all their religious BS and that a book contains the "word" of god...
etc, etc, etc....

You see where I'm coming from, right?

remember...

atheists = all the people in religion = all the ignorant fundamentalists = all the cults/superstitions

That this is a gift and not a mental illness?


Some of the people diagnosed with mental illnesses are oppressed of demons and some are possessed by demons and some are just gifted in the prophetic from the LORD God.

And some truly are just physically/chemical imbalanced.


So, also, are those oppressed so mentally really have a gift from the Lord that the devil is stealing through deception?

Is Scientology really a religion? I thought you had to believe in a God or creator of life not a galactic warlord. Also, if I am a Christian, is it wrong to find Scientology interesting. I read stuff from them all the time and really feel that people can make their lives better if they listen to some of what they say. If anyone has an opinion on this, I would appreciate feedback and a star wouldn't hurt either.

If there was proof, it would cease to be a belief in God (and this, I contend, is unarguable). I am not suggesting anything, simply asking why so many insist on "knowing"? I don't "know" that my gf loves me, but she shows me in many different ways, but I can still never "know" her feelings for me.

Out of his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations. "He will rule them with an iron scepter." He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.


Is this person supposed to be the good guy or the bad guy?

Can He LIE?

Can He DESTROY HIMSELF?

Can He MAKE MISTAKES?

Can He CREATE ANOTHER GOD LIKE HIM?

Can He LOSE?

Can He INFRINGE HIS OWN LAWS?

Can He LEARN?

Can He IGNORE?

Can He MAKE AN UNSTOPPABLE FORCE HIT AN IMMOVABLE MASS?....

Given that OMINPOTENT= Can do everything....

By answering NO, it means that he's NOT omnipotent (i.e., you imply that "God can't...")

By answering YES, you acknowledge God is FAR from PERFECT. (e.g., he CAN make mistakes)



NO SCRIPTURE, PLEASE, Use your own brains, thanks. It's a simple YES or NO.

In an October 22, 1996, address to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences, Pope John Paul II updated the Church's position to accept evolution:

"In his encyclical Humani Generis (1950), my predecessor Pius XII has already affirmed that there is no conflict between evolution and the doctrine of the faith regarding man and his vocation, provided that we do not lose sight of certain fixed points....Today, more than a half-century after the appearance of that encyclical, some new findings lead us toward the recognition of evolution as more than an hypothesis. In fact it is remarkable that this theory has had progressively greater influence on the spirit of researchers, following a series of discoveries in different scholarly disciplines. The convergence in the results of these independent studies -- which was neither planned nor sought -- constitutes in itself a significant argument in favor of the theory." (John Paul II, Message to the Pontifical Academy of Sciences on Evolution)

(Noah's Flood)

If you have a mind and morality that is capable of believing a just and loving god would drown every baby on the planet, what else are you capable of believing? What other monstrous, heinous act can you justify?

Have -any- of you ever even tried to imagine a baby drowning? multiplied to include -every- baby on the planet?
