No bible answers, please. I don't believe in fables. Has anyone actually ever been there and back. Did you get to meet Satin? Is he a reasonable dude? How's the weather? What kind of surroundings? Is it mountainess or more like dessert? Do they have a snack shop.....you know for stuff like M&M's? Souvernir's? Like "I've been to Hell and back" T-shirts? C'mon.....let's hear your experiences.

I found a softball question I could easily answer. The claim is I'm rude, but mostly, I bring facts. Do they really think they can silence the truth?

Do you still feel that no Muslim leaders speak out, even after all of the questions I've posted proving that we have and nobody is listening?

"As Muslims, we completely condemn these attacks and offer our condolences to the American people.

In this article, we will explain that Islam is by no means the source of this violence and that violence has no place in Islam.

Even if the terrorists have Muslim identities, the terror they perpetrated cannot be labeled "Islamic terror", just as it would not be called "Jewish terror" if the perpetrators were Jews or "Christian terror" if they were Christians.

That is because, as we will examine, murdering innocent people in the name of religion is unacceptable. We need to keep in mind that, among those who were killed in Washington or New York, there were people who loved Jesus (Christians), Prophet Moses (Jews) and Muslims.

I was brought up as a christian. But now that I'm older I find myself very much confused. I have so many so many questions against my faith. I don't deny that there's a higher power but I have too many doubts to simply have blind faith in him.

So what does that make me?

So, can this debate be put to rest? I bet there is not one reasonable, thoughtful person who can dispute these demographics.

R&S, we now know the facts.

I feel like I need to. But I just cant seem to break the habbit.

It's like I can't help it.

I'm thinking of buying a male chastity belt device over the internet. It allows the wearer to go to the bathroom and can be cleaned while worn.

I am thinking of giving the only key to a close friend at church.

What do you think?

I am very supportive. We two kids. She is right now attending the Believers Convention in Dallas and went to the prior one as well. I actually encouraged her to go to Dallas.
My problem is with the belief to donate to the church 10% of our income. She is demanding this of me and I don't want it ! I asked her (cause we are getting 100k next month) so you are saying we give the Kenneth Copeland Minister 10k?? She said yes. I told her I don't want to do it.
Today she called from Dallas with some stupid *** off the wall, god driven plan on one of our investments. I told her maybe we should split as I don't agree with her church and the whole , 'God causes all actions and therefore 10% goes to the church'. I made that 100K. Nobody else. God does not pay my bills. I saw a statement where she has donated $1000.00 without telling me. Don't pitch the line THEY pitch please ! I don't want to be prayed for I just need to figure this out so we can live with each other.

If someone claims to be a Christian yet is greedy, very selfish, jealous, bitter, has a temper problem, and is unforgiving how do you respond? I think the Bible is clear that those who constantly exhibit these characteristics are not saved. The only reason why some people say "do not judge" is because they feel guilty and do not want to repent.

And what do you think of what he has to say?

"Prominent Muslim scholar Dr. Youssef Al-Qaradawi has condemned Al-Qaeda for their fuel tanker suicide bombing of a centuries-old Jewish synagogue on the Tunisian island of Djerba in April 2002.

On June 23 in a statement broadcast on the Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television channel., Sulaiman Abu Gaith, a spokesman for the Al-Qaeda network, claimed responsibility for the explosion that killed 14 German tourists. Five local Jews also perished.

Dr. Al Qaradawi said that in Islam it is not permissible to attack places of worship such as churches and synagogues or attack men of religion, even in a state of war.

“Civilians, such as the German tourists, should not be killed, or kept as hostages. Jews, not in conflict with Muslims, must not be killed either.

i kings 7:23 -- he made the sea of cast metal, circular in shape, measuring ten cubits from rim to rim and five cubits high. It took a line of thirty cubits to measure around it.


this means, according to the bible, the ratio between circumference and diameter commonly referred to as π (pi) is 30/10 = 3, not the mathematically proven value of 3.141592654...

so, if the bible -- the word of god -- was wrong, was god wrong? or do people just suck at writing it down? and what does this say about the credability of the bible?

There is no circumstance under U.S. law for compulsory religious practices. And please don't dredge up school prayer or teaching creationism; those issues were resolved by the Supreme Court more than a quarter of century ago. I cannot help but suspect a paranoid construct here. I am also struck by the graphic imagery involved and the lack of any concrete examples. Who is doing this? How are they doing it? Where? Can anyone provide an incident? As far as proselytizing,we all all free to do that. Secular organizations do it: Greenpeace,Amnesty International,etc. Religious organizations enjoy the same right. So do atheists,for that matter. What is this terminology in reference to,if anything? The phrase certainly gets thrown around a lot,always devoid of concrete examples. Opinions? Explanations? I would genuinely like to know. Is it just something atheists like to say? Kind of a ritual?
