I'm currently studying the Medieval Ages and I question I have is about the effect if barbarians had succeeded in conquering Western Europe. I know that Christianity would have been nearly forgotten and wouldn't be the main religion of the Byzantine Empire. I cannot remember the name of the religion that would have then been the main religion. I think it begins with a P and they in a way worshiped the sun and rain and such. Does anyone know the name of that religion?

God is smiting the hypocrites and Pharisees, beginning with Falwell. Dobson is next, more to follow...Judgement day for the "false apostles" (by their fruits you shall know them).

I was driving through my city's downtown area at noon today and noticed that an anti-abortion group had stationed protestors on every street corner with 4X8 signs showing an aborted fetus. There are lots of restaurants in the area, and one of the protestors was stationed about ten feet from an outdoor cafe where people were trying to eat lunch. Someone whom I assumed to be the manager of the cafe (may have been an outraged diner) and the protestor were shouting at one another.

Reactions? Should the protestor be arrested? Forced to move farther away from the cafe? Should the manager and protestor be arrested for disturbing the peace, or just the manager for trying to deny an American citizen his constitutionally protected freedom of expression?

Why is everyone being so mean to us, if they bother you it's because they obviously are proud of their religion, so why do you have to mess that up for them? I am a Jehovah's Witness and our number 1 reputation is being peaceful, they will keep trying until you go to at least a meeting, but still, why? If you dont like them oh well, deal with it, because we will be at your door every Sunday until you give in, you should be pround that God's word it being done, no disrespect but other religions need to stop saying we're fool of nonsense becasue we love God to, we just have our own way of showing it. I just wish some of you would just stop throwing nasty, hateful words at us, really.

All that hate mongering notwithstanding. He was wealthy. I think Jesus said it is easier for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle than it is for a rich man to go to heaven.



Is it possible for a camel to go thru the eye of a needle?

Religion are not doing anything to harm anyone. All that religion is doing is teaching to love one another. Isn't that what life should be all about. Not to just live and rot eternally. There should be a paradise when we die. If God has set it out like that, let it be. Atheist, you don't have enough power to bring down heaven nor the hell. You haven't prayed to god to know the outcome of his power. So please just let religion be. Don't spam someones post just because they are asking "when will Jesus return" or "If I pray for my grandma will she get better". At least just lie and say yea she will get better, don't be like "According to science the disease will kill her horribly, and she will rot for the sea sponges to feast on her corpse."

1. Since every human being is a different person with different expectations, would it be reasonable to expect a tangible proof from God, as to his existence?

2. And how would you be able to tell the difference between a miracle and a show of magic if God was to provide some sort of proof to you?

I mean seriously we get to live here were God says Go and replenish the earth (HAVE SEX) only to die and be told oh yes in heaven NO SEX!

Isn't that really cruel?
Why introduce us to sex if you want to deny it for all eternity?

The world comes to and end as everything does. And the world will one day come to an end whether you believe it or not, science does prove that our star(the sun) will not burn forever.

What will happen when the world comes to an end? Will all of the souls just seize to exist or will they all reach Nirvana?

This question is not intended to offend anyone.....I just want to get some good opinions.

Why do so many preachers misrepresent evolution? If it's something they hate so much, why don't they take the time to understand what it really is instead of resorting to their rhetoric like, "why are there still monkeys?" or "there would be a crocoduck!" or "My mama wasn't a monkey!"

Wouldn't it be easier to minister to atheists if you could speak the language of natural selection and evolution?

What harm could it possibly do?

why do people post this ?
don't you realise that for any believer , their God/Goddess is as real and true as yours
they have as much proof , as much faith and as much right as you do
why do you assume that yours is better or more real than anyone elses ?

a babtist lady became very jealous and felt lowly because all the women in her bible study class had nice mercedes benz's to drive. so she constantly begged and nagged her husband to get her a mercedes until he finally gave in. she was so happy that she drove around town and waved to everyone she knew. at a stoplight downtown, she saw several members of her church walking into a flower shop. she honked, but they didn't notice her, so she got out of the car to go and talk to them, but as she got, out a huge truck drove by and took the door right off of her new car. she got out and started cursing at the truck and running after him. a policeman just happened to be at the intersection and ran over to help the lady, he stopped her and said, "ma'am, ma'am, please calm down, i've already called for an ambulance, you need to lie down, your arm is still attached to the door"..........." i know " she said, " that bastard has my rolex!!"

I understand that turmoil is mentioned in the bible as a way to keep "our faith strong"; but, if I PROMISE to always do good & stay faithful, could these unncessary and wanted dilemmas stop occuring?
i know that i'm being facetious, but it is a nice fantasy!
