this happens to be one of the most visited places on yahoo! answers. which doesnt surprise me because religion is one of the most controversial issues in society today. i dont understand how bashing anothers religion can make ones own religion look good. i dont ever bash other religions because i know that people will just say "oh look her religion teaches her to say bad things about other religions". seriously its a sad thing. on this site i have seen so many christians bashing jews. jews bashing muslims. and it doesnt make anyone look good. idk maybe its just me but if i wanted to spread religion i do it with peace. thats the way all religions say is right. and if u post something crude, nasty, or racist ill just report it as abuse. im just saying stay true to your own religion and stop bashing the others. i like to follow mine and if i want to spread it i do it with peace. not by putting down others.

I suffer from severe cronic depression, and recently attempted to take my own life. This isnt my first attemt, but it is the closest ive ever gotten. I flatlined twice in the ambulance, and once in the OR. After 4 days in ICU and 2 blood tranfusions here I am...still alive. People keep telling me that God has big plans for me, but I dont feel like I will ever get out of this hole that im stuck in. Im just so tired of this constant battle of good and evil in my head. I dont want the devil to win, but its not looking too good at this point. I know to some of you I sound crazy, and maybe I am, but there are those of you that know exactly what Im talking about, that understand how it feels to be tired. I need some advice though regardless how crazy you might think I am. Im scared and I dont want to go to hell. Please help me with this.

I asked God what his name is, he said this to me, and used the bible to back it up. Revelation 19:11-12 and acts 17:23

He knew Adam and Eve would be tempted by Satan and thus cast the world into chaos. Why didn't He just destroy Satan, thereby eliminating death and destruction? And why does God create people that He knows will never be Saved?

Look at it like this. The point of accepting Jesus in your life is so that one will learn to become Christlike, and by becoming Christ like, we become the people God wants us to be. But since a baby has not accepted God, how can they go to heaven? It doesn't matter if they are not "accountable" or that they can't choose right or wrong. The point is, they have not accepted Christ.

People say babies go to heaven because it makes them feel better. But Biblically speaking... they should not. Furthermore, the Bible never says babies get a free pass.

How serious do Christians take some parts of the bible? For example, can we really not work at all on Sundays? Also, women were suppose to keep there hair long and down all the time. That is not the case at all today.

Also, if we as Christians are suppose to do everything in God's name, then is it alright if lets say we watch a tv show that has nothing to do with God, or listen to songs that aren't religious at all. Or if you're career has nothing to do with God is that okay? I mean I know it's unrealistic- we need factory workers, we need people to work at wal-mart, etc.

I just want to hear some other opinions about this...

Answer the question. Do not tell me to look it up. If you believe in this theory than explain it. I believe in God and I'm not afriad to explain his existence. I'm not rude enough to answer all your questions with " read the Bible!"

Christian women used to protect their chastity and even men in the past. You have seen it before in the movie as well.

Many evolutionist believe that cells split or mutated. If this is true why are we all different? We are not clones, which is what happens when a cell splits. How can mutations(recombining of the genetic code)create any new or improved varieties?(recombining english letters will never create chinese words, it will still be english!)
Many of you cannot answer my questions, so you resort to sarcasm. Please, serious answers only.
