whilst many where predicting that yesterday (as of 16 minutes ago) would be the end of time, the rapture, armageddan if you will, I held onto what i predicted, i predicted ntohing would happen, and it didn't, do you think i have a gift?

ok seriously why do people always seem to be predicting the end of the eath because of religion when science and study tells us, erm well the sun still has loads of fusionable material left we are still spinning and global warming isn't going to finish us off quite yet

I have found a mathematical proof of Creationism that puts the evolution/creationism debate to an end!!!
Behold:

Let a=b
Then a^2=ab We can then subtract b^2 from both sides:
a^2 - b^2 = ab - b^2 We can reduce this to:
(a+b)*(a-b) = b(a-b) We can divide both sides by (a-b) to get:
a+b = b And since a = b, we can substitute to get
b+b = b so:
2b=b we divide both sides by b again to get
2=1.
We can now subtract 1 from both sides to get 1 = 0. If we add 0 to both sides, we get 1+0 = 0+0. Since 1+0 is the same as 1, we can reduce this to:
0+0 = 1. Thus, God can create something from nothing. So evolution is false.

Attacking homosexuals is a favorite passtime for many fundamentalist/evangelical christians these days, even to the point of campaigning for state or federal constitutional changes.

As I understand it (and please correct me if I'm wrong), these christians justify their actions by claiming that they are defending family values. I admit, I don't quite understand this logic, but I guess the thinking is that they will set a bad example for children, allowing kids to think this sin is acceptable in society, thus eroding the basis for future family generations? Fair enough.

My question is this. If christians accept that this sin shouldn't be legal, shouldn't they be more concerned about divorce? Mark 10:11 tells us that marrying after a divorce is a sin (adultery). And mathew 5:32 tells us that marrying a divorced woman is also a sin.

Shouldn't we first legislate against sins that actually DO erode families before legislating against sins that MIGHT break up families?

If there is a creator of the universe, is he/she/it subject to karma? Is karma part of the creator?

Hey. Im recently becoming a christian and I was wondering a few things about christians. Do you really believe that people who dont know Jesus will go to hell? I love my boyfriend very much but he is not very religious and I am terrified to death that he will go to hell when he dies. I believe that Jesus loves me but I want to know what christians think I should do. I dont want to have to break up with my boyfriend. Also, why did you become christian? What made you want to be one? I would love to hear your story. Thanks!

i am a Christian and i can admittedly see the Pagan influences in the holidays we have to celebrate Christ. for example, Easter and its symbolism of the bunny and easter eggs. definitely influenced by pagan holidays of fertility in my opinion. also, i am not so sure that the times we celebrate these holidays are exactly when these events happened, such as Christs birth. anyone else feel this way, or am i wrong?

The problem with the written word is that the all important voice inflection is missing. It can change the whole meaning of what is being said. I've found it to be a problem on occasion. Comments?

As long as Satan was being sincere and was indeed repentant, wouldn't God have to forgive him? Where would that leave christianity? How would Christians then explain why bad things happen to good people?

Of course, I understand this is all hypothetical, but I'm just interested in everyone's various opinions.

I've started to ask a morman this before and they told me that I was mistaked and that it was a star of David. I'm not talking about a star of David, I am talking about a 5 pointed star. I've seen it on temples and in other places too I'm sure. ..and it is a pentagram. Can anyone set me straight on this one?

Darwin himself renounced the theory on his death bed, and one of his beliefs was that black people were lower on the evolutionary chain then white people. How can you believe a theory that came from this, are you all racist?

There are many examples in the bible of God doing things far more dramatically than necessary. Take for instance, the whole idea of there being a war in heaven or even the war to come as described in revelation. Seems like a war against an all powerful source would be over in an eye blink by God's will. It's not like God is going to use patriot missiles and laser guided weapons. Why the need for such theater when the idea of conventional warfare seems so beneath a deity?

I really find it difficult to believe that we have evolved from primitive organisms. This picture that my friend linked me
(http://data2.blog.de/media/976/745976_ec6ba813b8_m.gif)
was truly terrifying. Does the theory of evolution blatantly state that humans evolved from apes? If so, where can I find some resources or text that has this information documented?

Thank you all in advance.
