I am a christian woman. I am interested in the Muslim faith,

I have read and heard different things so I am confused.

I have read that you are not supposed to date at all. But then I have also read you can date with a supervisor.

I read that you are not supposed to even talk on the phone or sms eachother. Then I also read you could...

that Scientology is crazy?

I visited a "church." They locked me in a room (literally locked) and showed me a movie about how I'd be an idiot if I didn't become a Scientologist...

Shouldn't it be considered plagerism at best?
Look at the story of creation for example. Taken, almost verbatim from the story of Gilgamesh. Flood myth and all.
Honestly, if more christians knew the history of their cult, there would be a LOT more atheists.
But knowing requires research and reading. I guess it's FAR easier to allow a con man at the pulpit to tell them what to think.

After all, Windows is very similar to our world......it was designed by a bunch of idiot designers, it often breaks, is energy-inefficient, requires prayer to make it work, has a ton of code that doesn't make any sense, has a great deal of conflicting components, and the system will eventually die.

But when something goes wrong it's either the work of the Devil or a person's free will?

If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, why do you give Satan or men the same abilities to change people's lives?

Also, if God knows everything that's ever going to happen, how exactly do we have free will? If everything that's ever going to occur is already laid out and known, how is that giving us a choice?

Personally, and this is strictly my opinion, I think that the Jehovahs Witness religion is odd. I am not just basing my judgement on what I've heard. The entire family on my fathers side belongs to that religion and I have many a times went to a sermon there. Here are some reasons why I think its crazy:

My sis broke a strung out, misfits, primus, and various other cds when she joined because of the use of curse words/

They wouldnt give a blood transfusion to save the life of their own child or loved one, wouldnt recieve one to keep them alive

Think all holidays, even ones celebrating God are of Pagan rituals and will not celebrate anything inc. birthdays

Sis wont watch Transformers, even though its rated pg, because they talk shortly about masturbation (shes 19 years old)

Walks door to door and tries to talk people into their religion and will not take no for an answer.

They will dis fellowship you and if you go to the church after being dis fellowshiped, no one can talk to u

Don't you just love finding violation notices in your email inbox? I know I do. Though this time I really don't think it was bad, but let me know what you think.

Question: Why do you atheists get so mad? (for more details... http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Aj664kPEruZLFzKYROwVUxkjzKIX?qid=20070719122937AAdvGxI)


Answer: It goes right up there with grammar. When people dont use correct grammer noone knows what the hell that they are trying to say you know like when there are run on sentences well just get mad and not understand but then all of a suddn peple stop speling corretly and then all meening is lost in the ? or anser and then i get all confussed about wat ppl r trying 2 say. I'm sorry, it just makes you look stupid when you can't spell certain words with a spell checker right there. Take the time to properly communicate your question or answer and folks can at least respect that.

This is more of a Poll but I was just wondering what kind of family backround you all come from? My mother is a hardcore pentecostal. My father calls himself a christian but doesn't take it as serious as my mom. I am an Atheist. How bout you all?

Seriously, the whole "Only through me shall you see the Kingdom of Heaven" (paraphrased) thing was clearly about listening to what he had to say and living your life by it. Love thy neighbour/enemy and turn the other cheek, stuff like that?

Why do people worship Jesus as a god but don't live by his teachings? After all, doesn't the very word "Christian" mean Christ-like?

When they are at the age to accept or reject the LORD God of the Holy Bible, the Word of God.

I have young ones who love God. How to prepare them to make the right choice when entering the age of accountability (teen years)?

The world constantly tell them that the bible isn't true, etc. And Christians believe in Jesus. So, they get both, but too often more of the rejection of God from the world.

So? How can we prepare them to make the right choice?

Now i know there's nothing wrong with lively debate, but what is with all the judgements flying around here just now? And I'm talking particularly to Christians.
Now, Ok, i might be one too, and i am far from perfect, and i judge people sometimes, and i shouldn't, and so on.

But i don't think i've ever bothered to type out a question inferring things like "What do Atheists do to help people, cos i'm a Christian and i help but i bet you all don't".

I'm trying to phrase this without "casting stones" myself, but maybe, just maybe, a lot more non-Christians would be inclinced to pay a bit more attention to the Christians if they were a little bit less self-righteous (which i'm sorry if i'm coming across as now, but i know i do it too..) and a little less judgemental?

What do you think? Am i right, Christians? And how about all you Atheists? Would you have more respect for people who didn't have pre-conceived ideas about you? Or does it really not make that much difference?

Don't be so sure you know the answer. Double check; you just might be surprised what Scripture says a tithe is, and to whom it applies.

strength, then to love others as yourself; To submit to God first, then your loved ones & neigbors, etc.;

Does that make obedient Christians 'Muslims' of the LORD God? That they trust & obey (submit) to God.

If you look at the definition of the word 'Muslim'.

The other day as I was leaving the doctors office, I took my first antibiotic pill. It was called Avelox, I have never been on it. I had my mom and 3 of my four children in the car with me. I was driving. About 15 minutes after taking the pill I started to feel very funny. My eyes started watering, my head started "buzzing" and I just felt out of it. My mom told me to pull over and she would drive, but I said that I was fine and not to worry. Well, my face got red and I started to itch all over. My heart was racing. I pulled over. My mom took the wheel and gradually I got worse. I had all these hives and I started to swell very badly. We were not in an area that we knew well, so my mom pulled over and called 911. By the time the rescue squad arrived, my tongue and mouth and throat started to swell. I was thinking, "God, not now, I am only 29". I recieved 3 doses of epi-pen and more! God spared me. Has this happened to you? Life is too short, be eternally grateful.
