How can you believe that there is no Zeus without first believing there is a Zeus? A person can't say that they dont believe without acknowledging that Zeus exists

to convince me to go to their church even though I already go to a Temple(means Protestant church for you ignoramuses). They keep on asking me over and over again if I believe in God and I say yes, but they keep on bothering me when I go to the laundry mat. It shows how some Christians are huh? How do I get these people off my back? Its like they're trying to force their religion on me! Thats what they were trying to do with my mom who isn't christian and at first it was cool but they asked me where I lived and all that. I didn't tell them my mom wasn't Christian because it wasn't any of their buisness but they are always knocking on her door since they found out she wasn't Christian. How do I tell them to back off in a nice way?

I'm thinking of asking to be released from my calling. I've thought about it for several months now. It's not that I'm going inactive or anything like that. It's just that I've not been performing some of the duties of my calling for well over two years now, and slowly I've been slacking off on more and more duties. I've brought it up with my RS pres (I'm the VT Coordinator), and she said that if I want a break, to ask, but that she will not release me.
In my pondering of this, I've gotten three distinct impressions 1.) that I shouldn't, 2.) if I did that's up to me, and finally 3.) that I need to repent of not performing my calling, then see what happens after that. All the while I keep wanting to just throw my hands up and quit because the VT program needs someone who will do what needs to be done.
I'm not really asking you if you think I should ask to be released. I just want to know if you've had experience with asking to be released, and how that worked out for you.

The open Minded man, The man who is supported by Allah سبحانه و تعالى and won his battle, Whom his Army composed of Shia, Sunna, Salafs, Wahabies, and Christians. Sir\ Hassan Nasrullah, Whose beloved photo is on my desk right now.. Said in His last Speech: "Peace and blessings be upon Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم and his companions and followers till judgment day"; is being a bad Shii in your point of view for saying that?

to Jesus, the HUMAN form of God who was human and now dead, any different? Catholics pray to Mary to intervene for them. They were all human.

I have often hear it said that "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

My reading of this saying implies that a person who is wealthy (by one means or another) must, as a prerequisite, part with that wealth to prosper in the afterlife. I imagine giving it to the betterment of his fellow man was the prefered course of action.

This sounds like the cornernerstone of socialist philosophy, in that wealth must be redistributed according to need rather than ability (or any other reason).

Given that congruity, why did Marx denounce religion, insisting that "Religion is the opiate of the masses"?

It's an oxy-moron. Creationism is no way has science in them but the uneducated people trying to get it taught in school along side with evolution as a SCIENCE are pretty ridiculous. So why do they think it is a science?

"Koran (9:11) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace."

Just a remainder, the country POLAND, have an eagle as a symbol as well.

Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم stated:

"My Nation will be divided to 70 plus sect, all in Hell-fire except one" This hadith is in The Sunna's Sahih Al Bukhari (Hadith 2650) an Al Kafi's Shia Hadith book; (1433), How can you be so sure that you're the ONE sect exempted of hell-fire?

Couldn't a jug of milk do the same thing if I prayed to it?

God answers prayers in the form of 'yes', 'no' and 'wait'." - Christianity.com

"The jug of milk answers prayers in the form of 'yes', 'no' and 'wait'." - me

"We have to trust that God knows what’s best." - Christianity.com

"We have to trust that the milk jug knows what’s best." - me

When Christians say "God answers prayers in the form of 'yes', 'no' and 'wait', it is impossible to lose:

- The thing you pray for might coincidentally happen the next day. More information: http://whywontgodhealamputees.com

- Or it might coincidentally happen a week or a month or a year later.

- Or it might never happen.

'Yes', 'no' and 'wait' is ALWAYS true, no matter what. It is even true if you pray to a jug of milk. Or a stone idol. Or the planet Jupiter. 'Yes', 'no' and 'wait' is true no matter what you pray to.

You consider the bible to be written by men or translated so many times, it is just a book of tales, have you consiered these scriptures that MEN have somehow overlooked for years and did not catch???
Men washing dishes for one 2 Kings
And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab: and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it, and turning it upside down.
Men were known for their disobediance in the bible god told adam to instruct his wife yet he was standing next to in the garden when she ate the fruit and said nothing: Gen. 3:6
And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband WITH HER; and he did eat.
Noah who was chosen to be saved form the flood was also told the order to leave the ark, but disobeyed God:
Genesis 8:15-17 (King James Version)

Why are people considered crazy if God speaks to them?
My friend from Costa Rica told me she has a granny that is extremely God-fearing and she speaks to God and she writes his responses on the wall. Do you think that its possible Christians who are so religous believe that God speaks to them and if God were to tell them something in their dream they would do it?

While in a recent discussion regarding evolution, I was told, "In a way, we are still apes. We act like them. We think like them." Then, a component of the conversation stated, "Especially Christians." It was then said, "Christians are PROOF that we started out as apes."

Is it possible that they are blatant proof of the truth which they are against?

If you could meet ONE person from the Bible not including Jesus, who would you pick and why?

I would choose Noah just because I think the story of the ark is very interesting.
