We see lots of people with hip, spine, knee problems throwing of their crutches, wheel chairs and running and jumping after being healed by teleevangelists.Why didnt Mr.Pat opt for this cure instead of surgery?It would have been a great testimony for the evangelical ministry

Earlier today I read the article located at:

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070524/ap_on_re_us/atheist_authors_1

And was curious what other Atheists thought about it?

Atheism is become more militant in recent years, do you see that as a good thing?

If lust is adultery in the heart, then is lust before marriage premarital sex in the heart? If so, do most Christians keep pure minds until marriage?

Just because it's mentioned in the Bible?

Or do you have a more plausible reason to judge people's sexual preferences?

Like, for example, it's "unnatural", "Nature/God made two sexes for a reason", "It's not what we were made to do"....

"Look at the birds in the sky. They do not toil or reap or gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. ... And why worry about clothing? Think of the flowers growing in the fields; they never have to work or spin; yet I assure you that not even Solomon in all his regalia was robed like one of these."

—Matt. 5:26, 28-29

I live in TN and am getting married in St Augustine. It will be a very small ceremony (only 11 ppl inluding me and the groom). Many of our friends and family are scattered all over the country, so we will not have a reception when we return. I want to send out wedding announcements after the fact. Should I? I know this may sound bad (and it's not meant to) but will people send small gifts if we do that? Is it tacky?

Because I don't think it's the Bible!!! A Christian just posted this, "God helps those who helps themselves. God doesnt want people to totally rely on him, thats why He gave us free will "

Where does it say this in the Bible? Because to me, the Gospel says the exact opposite:

God helps those who CANNOT help themselves.

God wants TOTAL RELIANCE ON HIM in all things.

Show me the words "free will" in the Bible.




I'm sorry if it seems like a rant, but it's time we separate what God said from what we think God would say. Anybody with me?

What do you think about worship, as a concept? What does or would WORSHIP mean to you? What kind of god would you honor and worship? (If you don't believe in a god practically, let's be hypothetical?) What do you deem worthy of receiving that kind of honor?

Dictionary def=
WORSHIP: to honor or reverence as a divine being or supernatural power; to regard with great or extravagant respect, honor, or devotion.

If so, why?

wouldn't it be best to leave "faith" out of that decision making process, and choose the candidate with the best political ideas...the candidate who would do the most good for the country (regardless of their personal beliefs)?

Or, are "faith" and the ability to be an effective leader intertwined?

Discuss.

"The feminist agenda is not about equal rights for women. It is about a socialist, anti-family political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians." (Pat Robertson direct mail, Summer 1992)

then why did he only appear to a small group of people in a small town in the middle east? Why didn't he appear to the Mayans?
I understand that christians say that their god will judge them differently, but why? Is it too hard for Jesus/god to just appear to everyone and teach them what they need to know?

I'm not talking about general home-schooling materials in general (those are everywhere), but specifically Christian materials.

For example, what materials can I use to teach young kids about the evils of homosexuality, evolution, fotosynthesis, birth control, etc.?

I was inspired by another poster who misspelled "witness" as "witiness". I propose that, from now on, all Christians be referred to as "Jehovah's Witless".

Who's with me? Can we start a whole new meme here?

i recently asked about sexual acts the christian god doesn't approve of. apparently masturbation is one of them.

i can't imagine that people can actually go their whole lives without doing this, especially as a teenager. now i assume they can repent their sin of masturbating, but how many times can you repent before you just aren't allowed into heaven?

But yet as a Mulism I still study and respect the Gospels because Allah commands it in the the Holy Qur'an. All I am saying is that whether you are Muslim, Christian, Jewish, Atheist or Agnostic and so on, you will have your beliefs misrepresented by a group of "extremists"
