I am lucky enough to have a family of foxes living next to me. They have just been out calling to each other and playing, all within about 50 yards from me. I feel so blessed to be able to be that close to them!!!

And to those who are going to say they are vermin... don't bother 'cos It won't change how I feel!!

If they only picked up a book sometime they'd understand that it's soooooo much more intricate and involved that that. They are not "accidents" and are not "coincidence". Is the complexity of it too much for them that they need to simplify it in terms equal to that of their bible (i.e. god created everything. Done.)?

Life without purpose - the plan and purpose which God has for you if you would only step into it!

Jeremiah chapter 29 v 11 says
For I know the plans I have for you says God, plans for good and not for evil, plans to give you a future and a hope.

homosexuall.We have no right to have any form of disdain for another human.You may say being homosexuall is a sin,well so is judgement ,hate,prejudice, discrimanation and asumming things about another human being.Do you agree that some people can be much more masculine as a female,and more afemanent as a male,and to assume they are gay is wrong in the heart or God.Even if they are gay we need to love others and not judge. How many agree with this,my husband is so homophobic and Im just trying to explain his thinking is not at all christlike,I would like to get your opinion on this. Thank you

How many past lives have you remembered? Have you always been human, or other species too? Do you ever feel that the same individual spirits are with you incarnation to incarnation? Do you ever feel like the same spirit is stalking you, trying to kill you, from life to life and species to species?

In a very short while according to your beliefs, Jehovah is going to kill everyone in the world including children and babies who are not JWs. Are your consciences clear about that.

I keep on hearing this argument: "microevolution is real, macroevolution is false".

Odd, because macroevolution is merely the result of a lot of microevolution over a long period of time.

Do Creationists see some magical biological or logical barriers that prevent microevolution from becoming macroevolution? Or do they simply deny the existence of time?

From questions I've asked previously, many have answered saying "How can you believe in Jesus but not in his word?" It's simple. I believe Jesus died for my sins. Yes. But I don't believe the Bible is entirely accurate so therefore, I don't read it. Not to mention, I find it jibberish and not to mention, boring. I've read it, and it's worse than a history book. My opinion of course. Why do people think it's impossible for me to believe in Jesus but not his supposed word? I mean seriously. Do you think I'll be denied heaven because I don't believe in the Bible entirely? I've accepted Jesus, I believe in God and I'd rather die than deny him. I seriously don't think I'll be denied heaven. I wish people would be more open minded.

This is purely curiosity and oberservation. And I"m fully aware that not everyone thinks the same as I do. :)

There are so many people that make fun of Christians for believing in something that sounds like a "fairy tale" (God creating the Earth)... I'm curious how many people out there believe in the idea that there was some "big bang" that amazingly created the world and life, etc.

I'm not going to disagree that it is very hard to get ones mind around the idea of there being a God. Some "being" up there that just blinks and creates the world and people, etc.. It does sound tough to believe.. I know.

BUT.. does it not sound awfully tough to believe in the idea that somehow, there was enough force in space (which makes me wonder, where did that force come from?) and enough particles of whatever (and where did they come from?) to crash together and miraculously (yes, MIRACULOUSLY) be able to create an amazing solar system that has all these planets that go around the sun, etc etc.. OH.. and life.. out of this nothing.. millions of forms of life..

Aren't they both equally hard to believe?

i think you all should go out and find someone of a different faith or no faith and give them a hug without trying to convert them. maybe even sit down and talk about your religions with each other without saying either one is best just saying how you as a human being believe what you believe.

Apparently, the main thrust of the conspiracy theory is that Flavius Josephus, the Jewish General who led the Revolt of 68-70 AD and was later 'adopted' by the family of his conquerors, Vespasian, Titus and Domitian, may have had a hand in writing the Gospels.

It is well known that he wrote The Wars of the Jews and Antiquities of the Jews, and that these two books, along with the writings of Philo of Alexandria, were practically as influential among early Christians as the Gospels themselves.

I am well aware of several anecdotes and concepts in the writings of Philo that later appear in the New Testament, even in Paul's letters. I was also aware of some loose parallels between Josephus and the Gospels. But the Gospels are a patchwork of several sources, truths, half truths and mythologies, so I generally dismiss any 'conspiracy' that attempts to claim one major source for all of it, and there are several that have been published.

Have you read it? What do you think?

I believe everyone has a right to be here and to post their opinions as long as they are not vulgar or break the rules. However, I am wondering why atheists ask so many questions about a God they do not believe in? As a christian I do not always ask or answer only questions about my religion but many others as well. I have seen many atheists have only religion based questions and answers on their profile. Without spewing hate of any kind can you explain why this is?

As a Christian respecting you and your opinions, otherwise I would not inquire, the same respect would be appreciated in return!

I've heard people say that if a person past the age of 12 doesn't accept Jesus into his/her heart, that means they go to hell after they die. What about people who have special needs and are unable to do that? How does God judge them? Isn't it cruel to put someone in hell just because they are differently abled?

do you think this is an example to not withold funds from your Church if you disagree with something they do? This is what I hear over and over again from people. They do not give because the Church does this or the Church does that. Is that something that they are not to be concerned with?
