There are several things in this world that are so irreducibly complex that they could not have been made by anything except an intelligent designer. For example, suppose you're walking around and see a watch lying on the ground. Could such a complex thing have come into being without divine intervention?

According to evolutionasticism, a watch does not need a designer because it evoluted from earlier watches. But this is absurd! According to the theory of evolution, genetic mutations in the DNA of offspring impel evolution. However, watches don't have offspring, or DNA. This proves that the watch must have been designed.

Creation scientist Em Adjineri has proven that watches are too complex to have been designed by humans. She took apart a watch and couldn't put it back together, thus proving that watches are irreducibly complex. Since humans can't design watches, God must have created them.

Therefore, watches were all created by God so that humans could tell time.

This is more of a statement rather than a question. I have been a Christian throughout my entire life, nothing pisses me off more than people making fun of my religion. The reason why people make fun of our religion is because of people who claim they are "Christians" yet they do everything a Christian was taught not to do. I'm speaking about the people who do unjust things or do wrong to others and other things that I cannot say all within 556 characters of letters left.

Now, there are also people who claim they are Christians who think that everything that they cannot explain has a simple answer to it. God. Now that just arouses a shitload of bullshit upon us Christians, we think that everything we cannot explain only has one answer, God. That makes us look very unintellectual and possibly makes others avoid or make fun of our church.

I hope I helped a bit by helping you differentiate between the real Christians and the ones who only claim they are.

I got the email telling me today is the day for Pagans to share questions and more about our faith. How did it become Christian Pagan Day?

Does everything have to involve the Christians? Not that they are unwelcome, but, COME ON, most of the time it is the Christians who are the most vile toward Pagans. I don't care if Christians want to write answers to the questions telling us we are all going to Hell, they always do that.

It makes no sense to me at all. Yes, this is a rant. It is time we stop pandering to Christians to make them like us more.

We allow them to sit as judge and jury over us, talk to us like children, and report us at every turn if they don't like what we say.

Am i the only one tripping over this?

Not all beliefs are bad. But God does not approve of them if they come from false religion or are against Bible teachings.---
Matt 15:6 he must not honor his father at all. And SO YOU have made the word of God invalid because of YOUR tradition.

(I included the Scripture for those who may not have a Bible readily available...handy.)

So the Q is....
"What are some beliefs & customs that displease God, YHWH."
The Creator of heaven & earth.
The God of Abraham, Moses & Jacob.

I was wondering why some Christians support homosexuality when the bible- the book that christians believe in and follow- says very, very plainly that it is wrong. For example, Romans 1:27 says:
"In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion"

That seems extremely clear to me that God considers homosexuality is a sin, so why do Christians (even some ministers) say its just bigotry?

Is it right or wrong for non Christians to used bible verses in an argument against a Christian? Example: I'm Wiccan so the next time my dad starts preaching at me would it be ok to use Proverbs 21: 23 against him?

The bad effects of anger are many, harming both the self and others. A person may swear and utter obscenities, and may hit others, lashing out with no control. It may even lead to killing. The following story contains a lesson.

‘Alqamah ibn Waa’il reported that his father (may Allah be pleased with him) told him: “I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (SAW) when a man came along, leading another by a twisted rope. He said, ‘O Messenger of Allah, this man killed my brother.’ The Messenger of Allah (SAW) asked, ‘Did you kill him?’ He said, ‘Yes, I killed him.’ He asked, ‘How did you kill him?’ He said, ‘He and I were hitting trees to make the leaves fall (so we could use them for animal fodder). He swore at me, so I got angry and hit him on the side of the head with an axe, and I killed him.’…” (Reported by Muslim in al-Saheeh, 1307).

were witnesses of jesus christ life.. according to this there are only 4 gospels only one it's a witness that's John.. but matthew, luke and mark were selected only because they are similar? what's happened with other writtens of the others apostles..I know there are letters of peter and jude, ect.. but they dont speak nothing about the life of christ... they speak about theology some of them were written by anonymous authors... the gospel of Saint James where is it? why the catholic church selected only those gospels?

i mean and intend no disrepect. i may not agree with you, but you have the right to believe in what you like. i respect you for at least believing in something.

with that said, how do real christians feel about those that use the christian religion as a front, and to go into other sections of Yahoo and attack people that have done nothing wrong to them? these i speak of throw insults, curse, pass judgement, bascially make the rest of you look foolish. Jesus never did that, right? why do some of you feel that it's ok to do that?

i was under the impression that Jesus spoke of love and unity. that we are all one, and should treat each other as so. he never had an unkind thing to say, but encouraged people to see past their differences and find the common bond, God. or, did i just get it all wrong?

again, I hope i have not offended anyone. i was simply curious about what is generally acceptable for christian behavior.


thanks to all of you.

Hell is a topic often raised here.
If you read my answers you know my view on hell.
I do not want answers if hell is real or not.
What I am interested in knowing is do you think hell is a draw card to a church or a put off .
Yes or no will do but if you want too explain I would be interested.
Please no god is real or not. Just your view on churches that say follow or burn

I mean he was hanging around with those 12 boys for 3 years,
He told John he loved him and never gave Magdalene more than a kiss.
How many 33 year olds have never gotten their leg over once?
If he never did it, would you like to follow his example?
Pretty poor example of how one should live!

Deny Jesus Christ or die?

I am sure that there a people today on this planet who will actually have to make this decision. As for you, you can just type out your answer.

...the most helpful to you? If you are a Christian, tell the pagans here the thing about Chrisitanity that has been the best thing about Christianity, the thing that has helped you the most in your life. And Pagans, please do the same about Paganism for our Christian friends!

I'll start. I am a Pagan, and what has helped me most about Paganism is how connected I feel to our beautiful blue and green planet, and how much wonder there is in this life.

THERE WAS ONE QUESTION PRECEDING THIS ONE, so NB:

We have the tables set, food and drinks are being served, and if you haven't already, feel free to share what you will bring to the feast and to say something good and respectful about the other path!

Blessings to all on CHRISTIAN AND PAGAN APPRECIATION DAY!

We often relate our bad experiences with people of other faiths. What I'd like is to hear some of the GOOD experiences!

For me, I have met *amazingly* loving and accepting people at Interfaith events.

Do you have any IRL stories about accepting, respectful people of other faiths?

I don't think it does... What do you think?

Men Without Hats - Safety Dance
Ah we can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind
Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance
Well they're no friends of mine
I say, we can go where we want to, A place where they will never find
And we can act like we come from out of this world
Leave the real one far behind,
and we can dance or sing





Ah we can go when we want to the night is young and so am I
And we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet
and surprise 'em with the victory cry

I Say we can act if want to if we don't nobody will
And you can act real rude and totally removed
And i can act like an imbecile
I say we can dance, we can dance everything out control
We can dance, we can dance we're doing it in multiple
We can dance, we can dance everybody look at your hands
We can dance, we can dance everybody takin' the chance
