If the church really cared about children unborn or otherwise why support things like child abuse by orderign bishops to coverup child abuse and hush up the victems

Force children mostly rape victems including those under age 11 to give birth even if likely to kill or severaly damage and trumatise them

Oppose full sex ed in explicit detail, from the age of four upwards throughout youth and teenage combined with issue of artificial contrception

Even though opposing condoms leads to mass spread of aids in the third world and milliond of unwanted abandoned children that the poor familes cant look after so given to or sold to huma salve often sex slave trafficers or abandoning them to a life of glue sniffing and child prostituion by peaophiles.

Create and run for over 100 years the horrific Magdelen laundry sytem of imprsioning girls often from teenage though to old age, ripping babies from mothers arms

Supporting the genocide of native american children & inquisition

I'd like to know the cellular science that explains the formation of a single cell organism. It should be step by step or a good reference to the reactions that occurred to form a single cell organism. The actual scientific reactions only please.

If someone know any passage or whatever where abortion is mentions please reference me.

the only argument i heard from Christians on abortion is "Though shall not commit murder"

But all countries in the world have laws against murder and none of them (as far as i know) threat abortion as murder with the same laws.

So why do Christians somehow believe murder and abortion is the same?

in fact in the The Judaic Old Testament:
(Genesis 2:7) states that life begins at first breath, but babies are not valued until they are a month old (Numbers 3:40; Leviticus 27:6).

Is it based on a decision they made when they were 8 yrs. old, or is it based on where they are today?This doctrine of once saved always saved, and if your lost you never were saved baffles me.I was born again at age 25.I backslide 9 years latter and lived in sin for 10 yrs.,had I died during this time I would have been lost.Jesus tells the church at Sardis to "Be watchful,and strengthen the things which remain,that are (ready to die)..." Rev 3:2a, and in verse 5 they are told that if they fail to not overcome this, that their names will be blotted out of the book of life.Having your name in the book of life is being saved.Having it blotted out means you were saved and now your lost.1 John 5:16-17 tells us that sin is sin, but even in this New Testament time there still remains a sin that leads to death.Willful presumptious sins are not covered by the blood, Numbers 15:30-31,Hebrews 6:1-8,10:29,2 Peter 2:20-22.

I saw a case study that young teens who practice witchcraft, tend to have better manners, high self-esteem, positive self-image and better grades that people of other faiths. I don't know why.

It also said Christian kids have lower self esteem than others, because they feel they are not good enough for good, It also said suicide rates are much higher than wiccans

WHY?!

I'm a christian, and I have researched witchcraft for 6 years, since i was 18. I wanted to be in the path, and many books say that witchcraft has no connection with the devil what so ever, i researched witchcraft because my pastor wanted me to, and he didnt preach to me of how bad it is, In fact, A few sundays ago, he Shouted that Witchcraft are not evil, some want to be like God, why dont we respect that?he blabbed on to the point where it makes perfect sense. Other people in churched looked at him and applauded and cheered. He said a witch once helped him with his protate cancer, he almost died. But I saw teens doing it. I interviewed them, and they said they want to be like jesus, using his powers to help people, but i was so mad, that was not the reason to practice witchcraft, I thought of them as fluffy bunnies.

If people wanted the power of christ and used them the same way he did, should they turn to witchcraft?

I don't come to Y!answers often, but when I do come the questions are always the same played out non-informative hate filled ones. One person in one place is wishing anothers religion would go away, and like wise on the other side. No one is ever happy with someone else. People wishing others would dissapear into thin air.

1) Do you want a robotic world where everyone thinks/acts/looks exactly the same as you? If so, where is your rant about "free will" going?

2) If people started dissapearing as whole races/religions/ etc... it would be like each person is in solitary confinement.. alone with no one to talk to... DO YOU WANT THAT????

If you dont, then stop hating on each other and be thankful this world is full of people who have different opinions on how to live and practice their lives.

PEACEEE

OH and star this, I want to see the smart answers I get....

We've got some people saying that God knew and intended what Adam and Eve would do, that the 'fall' was all part of his plan... and other people saying that it was A&E's fault, nothing to do with God, and not what he wanted. So, which is it? Why can't you folks just agree on one story and stick with it, so we can shoot that one down in flames and have done with it? :-)

It actually freaks me out. Sometimes I will sit and think that one day I won't be going to work, or coming home to my husband, or eating at my favorite restaurant. One day none of this will exist (at least for those that are dead). I do believe in God and I go to a non-denominational church.

Does anybody else feel the same way? Serious answers please.

And they were false then too.
So, what makes your religion right, while all of the others were wrong?
And don't give me answers along the lines of "I have faith" or " it's not something I can explain" or even "you just don't understand" because those are just cop-out answers.
You say you KNOW that god is real. Fine. Knowledge is verifiable, just like the truth. You say he's real while the others are not, prove it.
Give me ONE single shred of credible evidence that supports the existence of your magic sky pixie.
And if you can't (and I doubt you can, no one has been able to do so in the history of your religion after all) then you have to consider the possibility that your god, is no different than Thor, Zeus, Baal and every other deity that was ever worshipped; that is to say, imaginary.

And I tell you I am a prophet of God with the true message.
How do you know I am a liar? Muhammd never tested the spirit with which he spoke as the word of God instructs us to do and this spirit disagreed with the word of God and the prophets of God, this spirit claimed to be Gabriel but disagreed with what Gabriel says in the Bible.
The Bible says to test a spirit to see if it is from God and Muhamamd did not. How do Muslims test a spirit?

I've read that the Catholic Church believes that everyone that isn't baptized goes to Hell. This includes those that die as infants and aborted fetuses. Is this true?

Last night I had the joy to experience God's power and love. I recently have considered myself suicidal and for the past four nights I have battled for my life. Now on to what happened last night.

I was in my church chapel praying before the monstrance for almost half an hour. Praying to God, asking him to touch my heart as he has done in the past. Just when I was about to leave something flashed before my mind. It was all the people I had touched that day. I saw what I did for them as clearly as I did when I was doing it. IT was so amazing that I broke down crying and thanked the Lord for showing me that I do matter and reminding me why he put me on this earth.

Since then I have had no suicidal thoughts and I have been over joyed.

I just wanted to share this with you to remind those whos belief is growing dim, that if you pray and ask for something God will answer. He is there watching over us and He will never hand us more then we can handle. Have a great night!!!!!!!!!!

I think I am seriously going to blow my cool here, folks. And I'd really rather not do that, so I'm going to abandon ship for a bit.



So, do you have any parting words for me?
