Besides in cases of rape, incest, or in a medical emergency. How many of you would be OK, not 100% just OK with abortion being illegal as a form of birth control?

humans have the technology to create life, although it is illegal to do so. so, what makes you think that a being, God, didn't have this technology or a different way of doing it a long time ago? also, how can you not believe that Jesus walked on water or ascended into heaven? if david blaine can walk on water and levitate, clearly Jesus could have also. Fools, david blaine holds the key to it all!

What kind of stupid and sadistic world did he create?

Why is there segregation and racism?

Why do white people hate black people?

This is why I would like to end my life. I want to end my life as soon as possible

This is all God fault, he should not have allowed it

I'm Christian and conservative and also against abortion as most conservative Christines are. My question is what is your personal view on abortion? Are you pro-life or pro-chioce? Are there any athiest out there that are pro-life?

...... does it mean that everything in life is related to our religion and spirituality ?
I see science, politics, ethics, history, marraige all sorts of questions.
If this is so then should religion be a part of all the aspects of our lives and not just church or mosque or temple or synagogue ?

Think about your hands for a while, Do they just sit idly by doing nothing all day? Do they roll up into a fist when someone says something hurtfull or does something to upset you? Do they reach out to slap people who say offensive things? How about when a person cuts you off on the road, does your left hand tend to raise up in the air with your middle finger extended? Do they touch things they are not supposed to, like other peoples body parts, even your own for self gratification? These are just a few of the things our hands were not made for. Our hands were made to perform work so we could earn a living, to sooth a hurting friend or child. They are made to discipline and correct, to hold and show love. Our hands are for comunicating, giving and receiving. Our hands should be made rough from the labor of our lives yet soft for comforting, wiping away tears and loving.
What we do with our hands is just a small part of living a holy life seperated for Him, or living in sin.

It's like...they ask a question relating to a certain religion but then people who want to mock that religion all pile in and make fun of it...what if that question was asked in total seriousness? Don't you have any respect for people other than your own amusement? Don't you ever get tired of making fun of someone else? And I'm being general. This isn't pointed at Christians vs. Athiest, though they do seem to be the guiltiest.

Both believe:
Their religious beliefs are correct and everyone elses is wrong They will go to any violent and illegal lengths to push their agendas
They base all their beliefs and moral values on religion and literal readings of ancient irrelevant text
They are both homophobic and racist They both want to dominate the world They are intollerant of other's beliefs
Both their leaders are uneducated morons But only one has more power and is responsible for more deaths of innocent victims all over the world (guess which one)

I have just finished reading about this new religion :

Bahá'í religion may be unique in the way that it accepts all other faiths as true and valid. To Bahá'ís, every religion is the religion of God.

They accept the divine nature of the missions of Abraham, Moses, Zoroaster, the Buddha, Jesus and the Prophet Muhammad. They believe each one was a further stage in the revelation of God.

I've noticed that most anti-muslim, anti-mormon, anti-sikh, anti-hindu comments come from Christians.
Christians tend to defend Bush more than Atheists too.
Not defending Islam here, but I don't think it's fair to judge Islam by Ben Laden, just like it's not fair to judge Christianity by the Crusades, or the inquisition.

Ancient people had their own religion but most of those religions do not exist in our modern society. For example, the Europeans imposed their religion on the Native Americans (from North America to South America ) to the point where most of the American continent believes in Christianity.

I feel there is some kind of injustice in that. Especially considering that ancient religions are in fact closer to the Creator with regards to time.

OKay so I am a christian but I am starting to get really scared. I get panic attacks if I think about death or hell or sometimes heaven. I panic and I don't know exactly why. I pray about it but I don't know like I get real scared. Plus my worship is pretty bad. I can't focus. I sing in my church chior. Like I just can;t get into it. I never have gotten in to worship like i see some people. Some peolpe bow and raise there hands as high as possible but I can't raise my hand halfway. I think about it but I freeze and think what will these people think and I just don't know what to do! I miss not being scared and worried. I also get scard if I think about even if I die today I still go to either Heaven or Hell and there is nothing I can do about it. That really really really scares me. What is wrong with me?
Will you PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE pray for me? I am scared and sad and confused and I need help. Oh and i am scared to talk to my youth pastor cuz I don;t want him to think less of me.

How can those "Universal Churches" offer the general public, degrees in certain areas (philosophy, reflexology,etc ) and an Ordained Minister AND give you "authentic looking" diplomas, then tell you that you are authorized to use the title of : Phd, Dr, Rev. and perform weddings, funerals, baptisms etc??? Whats up with that?

Growing up, my mother took me and my brothers and sisters to Sunday School and church every Sunday but even then, I remember when I was 9 years old and I thought of Jesus as a friendly, nice man that loved children especially and when my mother got mad at me or I felt like nobody liked me or felt bad, at night I would talk to Jesus because I KNEW that He loved all kids and that maybe He loved me too and He did not think that I was a bad person. With adult life came adult responsibilities but throughout the years, God has saved our lives so many times I lost count. I love Him and Jesus so much. At this point in my life, I want and need to be a better person because it feels good but in this world people take advantage and can be so mean and disrespectful and make you feel weak and stupid because you want to share, give, be friendly, try to be as Jesus told us to be and I am so tired now. It feels as if being good is for nothing and doubt is taken its place...
