This came to me in my dreams and I know it was Jesus reading this poem to me.


Hello
Casting out Osama bin Laden
Reaching out and touching everyone
Love is the way
Sin is the problem
Everyone is my child
You are my child
I am here for you
One day you'll need me
Even if you don't know it yet
I will be there for you
And my love is beautiful and clean
Arouse your heart strings
Amazing grace all over the place
You are not alone
I am here for you
I am a stone
You are more than skin and bone
I made you in the image of me
You will one day see
If you have not already seen
Have faith that I will save your soul
Life is an adventure
I give you nothing but love
I love you and everyone
For you I died
I am at your side
Dark valleys come
But I will walk with you
God without man is still God
Man without God is nothing
Prayer changes things
Where God guides
He always provides
Peace be with you
My son, I will go away now
But I am always here

Today I blocked my first person. I just couldn't help it. I recieved the most horrible and ugly email that I have yet recieved, so I blocked the sender.

Does blocking that person make me a bad person?

And, what drives you to block other users?

Freedom of religion is a double-edged sword: on one hand, it requires that persons be able to fully express their religious beliefs. On the other hand, it also requires that these beliefs not be unwillingly forced upon others. Likewise, the constitution requires that church and state be separated—that is, a public (government) institution, like a public school, cannot promote a particular religion. Inevitably, in public schools, allowing children to practice their beliefs, while not offending those around them, and keeping the school from endorsing religion, has long been an issue. In recent years, some conservatives have expressed concern that public schools have gone too far—and in effect, these schools have begun a “War on Christmas.” Now classroom Christmas parties are called “Holiday” parties. At many winter pageants students no longer sing any Christmas carols, and instead defer to innocuous wintertime songs such as “Frosty the Snowman.”

There are different ways to obtain "peace". You can have peace when people with different backgrounds, identities, and views live together in harmony, and you can have peace when people with different backgrounds, identities, and views have been eliminated so that there is really only one people and way of looking at or doing things.

What is your religion, and what are its views on and methods of pursuing peace?

Please verify that this is a teaching or pursuit of whatever religion you are writing about with examples. If you are bashing a religion rather than writing about your own, please don't forget to make citations from their religious doctrine as evidence. If I wanted a message board, I would have gone to one. In an effort to create an incentive, un-cited answers will be ineligible for "Best Answer".

I mean aside from any religious connotations?

I think proverbs come from the Bible, right? Are the stories entertaining??

If I was to read the Bible, which version is best, and what is the difference between the Old and New Testaments?

my dad insulted me and basically the whole concept of religion. he sed some pretty dirty trash which i cried about (not infront of him). As a new, but loyal, christian, i defended it. but afterall, he is supposed to be a parent with unconditional love, rite? i dont know what got into him; before, he seemed cool with it. All i know is that, this was a great test of faith.

We share 98% of our DNA with chimps, the big band theory,dinosaurs and evolution. I believe in Allah, but won't ignore science.

Allah is all knowlegable and wise, so surely he created it all too. He knows what we don't know.

Educate me please, I'm genuinely interested.

Are there any that you personally don't agree with or would re-word if you had the chance? Which ones? Are there any that you feel should have been added but were left out?

In order to make accurate predictions, the theory of evolution posits the existence of a domesticated house pet called a "cat". However, nobody has yet been able to prove the existence of such an organism.

No cats have ever been observed, and there is no evidence to suggest that they exist. Since the theory of evolution rests on the faulty assumption that cats exist, we should reject the entire theory of evolution.

Creationist scientist Em Adjineri (say her name out loud) has proven that either evolution is true or the Bible is literally true. Since I have just proven evolution to be false the Bible must be

You evolutionists just can't argue with my logic! (or is it illogic? sometimes I forget the difference.)

if it does, why does the school teach it even if they can't teach other religions such as christianity?

someone from a different rreligion in their family?. It feels horrible when they look down on you just b/c you are a catholic.

And yes, I have met many Jewish people who are like that. I do not get it.

And if the Bible says all sins are equal, then shouldn't you get penalized the same for murdering someone as stealing something, masturbating, having pre-marital sex, overindulging in junk food, or a million other "petty" crimes?

Before you start bashing(some of you anyway), am just asking a hypothetical question. I was, like many, raised to believe in God but I've recently been REALLY wondering about this.
However, it does give me an eerie feeling to think that there possibly could be no one out there looking out of us. I personally feel like God is/could be real but there are so many questions with that.

In contrast, the theory of evolution is a strong possibility but then there are some things in this world that seem more designed than just happened to be. Does anyone else feel this way?Please be open minded. Thanks! :)

1. Dogs and other pets we love are without soul?
2. They do not get into heaven?
3. Is it a wonder then that the worst abusers of animal rights are deeply religious people?


Mitt Romney keeps the family golden retriever on the roof of his car for hours, at freeway speeds, till the dog defecates all over the carrier and itself. Mr. Romney pulls over at a service station, hoses off the car and the dog, and continues their trip.

What an assshole!

he died from a smoking disease at age 72. On his death bed he repented and accepted Christ.
Now I ask you. I've been a Christian all these years and it won't seem fair to see him in heaven with me.
What is so fair about that?

I've been working as a private teacher for a while, I teach Spanish and Japanese as a second language. Things had been great, so great I'm starting a bsuiness. It looks like my business is going to eventually make me some good money, but for now I'm broke. I really need money.

Someone must've referenced me, out of nowhere, I got a call from a school offering me a teaching job.
I said YES, but they told me that tomorrow I had to go talk to some sister. I then I began to remember I once went to that school.
It's all full of saints and Catholic images. I'm a Methodist, I just wouldn't be comfortable there, and I really don't want to have to tell my pastor I'm working at a Catholic private school.

On one hand, I need the money, on the other hand I wouldn't be comfortable there.

What should I do?
