...I really want honest answers to this question, and answers from more than Christians and other people of faith.
...Many people seem very afraid of evangelicals and other people of faith expressing their faith by exercising their Constituional rights - i.e., getting involved in politics, public office, voting, influencing public policy, etc. Some of these folks would go so far as to try and deny them their rights.
...What threat do people of faith pose to non-people of faith? What are atheists and non-people of faith afraid of - what do they have to fear from people of faith being good citizens and enjoying their rights like other citizens?

I honestly dont lead others in prayer unless asked by that person and I really feel like I'll do my best of it at that time. What are your thoughts on leading prayer and being lead in it?

So many people are worried about Mitt Romney being dare I say a Mormon. They bring up the fact that over 100 years ago some Mormons practiced polygamy. Why should people even care about Brigham Young's wives? At least he wasn't gay.

Why would a mortal human have the same thoughts after it is dead and is not a mortal anymore. I some times feel I am atheist because I can not stand the monachy system. I will not honor any god that can't come up with a better system than a monachy. It is the worst system ever created by man. So if man created the system then man created the god. There is no use for anything to be on a higher scale than another in a heaven. Personaly I like the word "Utopia" better anyway. With gods track record of heavens [gods sons rebel] why should I think any heaven god makes is any good? Heaven to me sounds like a place [or no place] where angels have wings that don't work because there is no air and have noplace to go with them anyway. Of course I am useing a human mind to pichure heaven but isn't it a human mind that told me about the biblical heaven? Even the human mind that talks about the new Jerusilum that says it has only so many feet for all the space there will be.

I just read an answer about early Christianity and the existence/nonexistence of Jesus. One person (s/he will remain anonymous) answered:

"Can anyone explain that why would the Romans heavily persecute so called Christians at that time? History did record that persecutions of Christians

Those Christian would not die for something that's not true."

I've seen this line of thinking on several different occasions. A Christian does not believe in Muslim faith, yet they see Muslims die for their beliefs today. Christians see people die for something that isn't true in their eyes, yet it's impossible that a Christian wouldn't die for something that's not true. How does that make any sense at all?

I remember my high school textbook saying he "did exist," my college textbook saying he "may not have," and recently I've seen some people saying there is a lot of evidence that he never existed -- like missing records for him in Rome.

I just concentrate on what I need and go by the moon signs (theres a lot more to it).I do some simple spells .I have never been happier than I am now.My great Grandma mother who was born in 1861 was said to be a witch.Thats not why I decided to become a wiccan,It because I have always felt drawn to the faith,I love this earth,the stars and everything in and around it.I never understand why the god I was raised to worship would want us to suffer before we could go to heaven,when this world was as beautiful as it is
.Do we really need all that stuff? Now,I do believe we need candles.
Many blessings.

I'm a fifth generation Mormon (actually descended from 4 of the original 12) and all of my great great grandparents were Mormon. Actually some of my great grandparents were related so two sets of my great great grandparents were the same people so I guess its easy for me to have all Mormon great great grandparents.

Anyway, I can't understand why people make a big deal about our prophets practicing polygamy? That was back in the 1800's so who wasn't practicing polygamy then? Our religion is the one true religion so don't belittle it OK? We are the only complete Christian religion that follows both Testaments of Jesus Christ and not just the Bible.

Does this seem logical?

A being that can do ANYTHING creates unique, individual pieces of itself (souls) and then sends these souls out to live in fragile, mortal shells to endure "trials" to prove their love for the creator (and to be loved BY the creator) for a period of a few seconds to a 100 years or so.

This all happens on a tiny, out of the way planet in an outer spiral arm of a garden variety galaxy that contains a hundred billion stars which have many more planets, and which is only one of millions of billions of other galaxies, stars and planets.

Oh, and out of all these trillions and trillions of worlds, he sends his only "son" here to "save us", even though he set the entire stage to begin with!

Why all the drama? If we are made from god in his image to be loved, why not save all the hassles and just love our perfect souls right from the get go?

Doesn't it make a lot more sense that this was all fabricated by a bunch of primitive ignorants as an effort to explain life?

In Leviticus 20 we all know it refers to sexual ‘issues’ [homosexuality, incest, and adultery] and the punishment for sin.

However, I am unable to locate in the Old Testament about these issues. I am not saying they aren’t there or they were allowed I just cannot find it. My husband and I were discussing it today and he believes it was not acceptable. My take on it was that it was typical [for a lack of better words] because of all the mention--having two or more wives…etc.

Can someone please show me a verse or chapter which addresses these issues in the Old Testament? Thank you!

Think about a sixth grade class. They all take a test, and every single one of them gets an F. Who would you consider responsible? The students? Unlikely. Most likely the teacher would be considered either too harsh on the students, or not teaching the class properly.

Now let's look at sin in this construct. Everybody sins. EVERYBODY. Not just the people who are bad. Everyone. Doesn't this mean that God is responsible, in a way, making the definition of sin, and the things that are sinful, thinfgs that humanity can't stop from doing? Isn't that God's fault?

I notice that many Christian groups are fervently opposed to doctor-assisted suicide. But why is that? If you had a terminal illness, would you rather endure the pain and torment, or enjoy a swift, peaceful death?
And besides, who are you to make someone else's decision on that matter?
