I'm agnostic. I have no idea if god exists. I'm leaning towards he/she or it does not. Everyone around me seems sure though, they're Christians. I dont tell anyone about my lack of faith because I dont want them to think badly of me or treat me differently.

What should I do, there are some many different religions, and then within each of those there are so many divisions. A "loving" deity must be willing tolerate doubt without punishment, no?

If I say I have my doubts, Christians just tell me I'm going to hell if I dont believe whatever their brand of faith is.

Faith is so subjective, so individualized.

What is your take on it? Do you think a biblical marriage is when a couple are legally married or when they are commited to each other for life, marriage or not? should there be a commitment ceremony to commit in front of god or does god know you are committed? What is a biblical marriage?

If you believe that Satan is an actual being and is both immortal and endowed with unnatural powers how can you rightly say you are a monotheist believing in only one god?

I think people who say things like their purpose is to help lessen suffering or whatever are misled. Why suffer in the first place? Why have human form in the first place? It seems like a joke.

Women are weak by physic
Even sometime mentally....!
They can not open a cap of a bottle
They can not run fast as men can
Their heart is also weak
Always they are afraid of unknown things.
They are so soft like flowers

Even then they are respected as SHAKTI.
SHAKTI is Energy...the kinetic, Power, Force..Vigorous etc.

Why?? Why??

Christians: you are at a cliff, there are two people hanging off the cliff slipping, yelling for help person #1: they're a non-believer, they're a total stranger and have had a rough life of sex, drugs and alcohol....person #2: your best friend, they are a Christian and even though has messed up sometimes in life loves the Lord with all their heart......who would you save if you could only save one?

What would be the reward in Paradise for suicide bombers who fail?

I had my own suggestion last time I asked this, and I think that's what got it deleted. Be creative.

Christians, and believers in God alike will agree that prayer is a very important part of your relationship with God. Though it is never a "bad time" to reach out, our hectic lives sometimes get in the way of this communication, which is so integral.

When in your life do you make time for prayer? Do you have any specific times set aside in your schedule for conversation with God, or devoted to reading the Bible or other religious text?

For instance, if I make no other time during the day, or things get out of hand and I've completely lost track of my day, I make sure when in the shower or in the bath, for prayer.

Serious question.

If I can argue that the Catholic faith is absolutly biblical (I can) and also I can argue that the evangelical belief is biblical (again I can) how do I reconcile the two.

Now before the evangelical amatures come out with some out of context bible quotes this is a serious question.

Most priest must spend around 50 times what the average pastor does studying the bible and church history.

I would like a balanced view.

I love the whole once saved always saved evangelical stance, its so great, but is it true. Isisnt the catholic stance more biblical.

please dont post from a anti-catholic site, I can give you 2000 years of books to back up any claim.

Seriously, now don't be rude! I think most of you Atheists are funny, completely lost but funny. Are you ever willing to change your ways or are you completely content with your lifestyle and are always going to argue when talking with a Christian and now I am just babling on and on!

...my question is how can any of you be correct?

All of the responders had different opinions, or variations on a theme.

Yet NONE of these views are in the bible, the "word of god".

All of you can't be right. Likely none of you are right. But where do you get these ideas from? Your priest? What makes them know something that isn't in the bible?

Are you just making excuses to fill in the gaps when, in reality, none of you have any idea?

If it were true, wouldn't more poeple have the exact same answer?

John 14:28:

"Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father: for my FATHER IS GREATER THAN I" (my caps)

Hebrews 5:7:

"Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;" (Why would Jesus have Godly fear if they are equal)

1 Corinthians 15:28:

"And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." (Why would Jesus SUBJECT himself to God if they are equal)

These passages come from KJV

What can the church do to make ammends and move forward?

They need to be completely transparent! Make monetary settlments if need be. Show everyone that they are taking steps to prevent these abuses from happening in the future.

What do you think?

So a few of the answers I got to my last question stated that becuase this was the son of the Trinity, it made sense that he called out "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"

Hmmm..

But before Jesus came to earth in human form, he was a part of the trinity and omnipotent. Which means when he came to earth he already knew how it would end.

So again, WHY ask why he has forsaken himself?

did Satan write the Bible?
Yeah I know you're going to say god did, but we know that isn't true, it was inspired by God or something, meaning a bunch of old people wrote it.
So if Satan is the Great Deceiver, what better deception than religion.
