I think he'll be getting forcibly injected by giant Tinky Winkys for all eternity--I know this is a very hateful question, and I don't care! It's his own Kharma using me as an instrument of divine payback

that they have just gotten their feelings hurt by temporal circumstances, and therefore they blame God for their plight? Does this debacle involve them actively hardening their hearts or does God do it for them?(passively, of course)

I have my own opinion. I'd like others... ready, GO!

I understand that most people who identify as "Satanists" don't really have supernatural beliefs - it's more about ritual and their own philosophy.

There IS such a thing as RELIGIOUS SATANISM. I'm curious about the reasoning, why one would choose to worship the devil rather than God if you believe both exist.

You don't have to agree - but what do THEY say. What is the logic behind this?

The Catholic Church's roots are firmly and unequivocally with Jesus and his first disciples--the first, the true, Christianity!

I have read posts here saying how wonderful people like Bill Gates is because he gives so much to charity and great causes, and I say *SO* what's the challenge for a Billionaire to give some of that money away because first and foremost he needs to just for his tax burden alone.

But how about the individuals that have a hard time making thier bills, or putting food on the table, but they still give away some of the money as little as it might be for GOD's purpose?

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle, than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." The disciples asked "Then who can be
saved." Jesus answered them "For human beings it is impossible but not for God. All things are possible for God

Do you think the wealthy would give most of there money to the poor and live by humble means?

I noticed the term "Fundamentalist" is taken pejoratively. I think due to denominationalism and political changes. The "Fundamentals" of Christianity are:
Inerrancy of the Scriptures
The virgin birth and the deity of Jesus
The doctrine of substitutionary atonement through God's grace and human faith
The bodily resurrection of Jesus
The imminent return of Christ.

I believe the above and Sola Scriptura and thhe Trinitarian nature of God. Thus, I'm fundamentalist by nature of those beliefs. The denomination, however is extreme. I'm not trying to offend Fundamentalists, but there are some (usually small issues) that I don't agree with. Does that mean I'm unsaved? Actually, no. I don't think your denomination matters to Christ as long as they are Bible-believing. But if even "non-fundies" believe the above points, Hence, every true Christian could be Fundamentalist by nature of those beliefs.

Mormon colleges actually teach that the Native American tribes are descended from the 'Lost Tribes' of Israel.

Biblical Creationists have turned a simple regional Mesopotamian flood into an impossible Global disaster.

The Christians have been convinced that we are in the 'End Times' for 2,000 years now. That's a lousy batting average, but still they find new ways to twist and distort their silly books into interesting new shapes rather than admit the books are wrong or that they don't understand what they're reading.

Other End Timers cling to Israel and think that books written thousands of years ago about the Temple were actually talking about now, even though there's a Muslim Shrine in its place and the books don't mention that.

Is religion a mental disorder? Or does it just exacerbate existing conditions by adding fuel to an unstable mind?

In the fiction story Yearly Harvest, subtitled "The True Story of Christmas", a peculiar origin which I've never heard is given for the Christmas traditions. It is quite intricate, but I'll list a few items. One thing mentioned is that many of the traditions began in ancient days(Biblical times, about) among the Gentile or pagan cultures. There is one reference given from the Bible about them cutting down trees, decorating them with silver and gold, and worshipping them. In Yearly Harvest's background, the tree was meant to protect them from a demon called Balac, a servant of Molech. Molech was a god who demanded his followers to burn their babies/children in fire as a sacrifice. Balac, apparently, was one of his servants who went and gathered the children once a year on a certain day. Sounds WEIRD, I know, lol, but has anyone heard of this stuff before? There's no info on the website that I can find.

Either way, I hope it's not true, lol!

To assume you know what god would want? To think that your church is the one truth? To pretend that god cares about you personally in any way?

Hi everyone,
I've barked on this course with a year abroad and because of that I had to leave my family behind.
Throughout the whole year I spent feeling that it wasn't right, everytime I went home I didn't want to come back, several times I just wanted to quit the course and come home and do something that is in my soul.
I couldn't leave on some occasions due to a part time job I had in the town where I study. I have quit my job and I went home and now my relationship with my parents has changed it's colder. My mum has always encouraged me to do it but I felt I didn't want to as it's not in my heart. I feel like I've lost the best thing I ever had.
I feel like quiting and sowing things back with my family.
I feel sick studying here and I don't think it's within my values.
Once you've lost integrity is it still possible to get it back. All I feel is guilt and I just don't know what to do.
I'm thinking of working for the pub I used to work for.
What is your opinion?

If a religion is truly good, why would members need to bad-mouth other religions? Wouldn't it just stand as good on it's own?

Is it ok to speack against other people who worship God, just because they are part of another religion?

I keep getting Awake magazines at my door, and they often have articles about how Christians that are not Jehavahs Witnesses are evil and should be avoided.

Why would one religion feel the need to bad-mouth other religions?

You don't have to be equated with a religion to answer this, just tell me what you believe and why you believe it.

Then answer if there is any room for change in your way of thinking, why or why not.

I am nearly homeless, unable to work and waiting on Social Security and the State of Indiana to see if I qualify under all theses Guidelines to receive, In the mean time I have had Pastors tell me we cannot help you that's why we have welfare agencies, and another Pastor say, well that's too bad! Is there any Church that teaches the Bible? I doubt it! Matthew 25:31-46, I like verse 40, that is the measure of the tape! If you know of anyone who can help! Please answer!
