Hoe do we know that God wasnt a spirit of some human stuck on earth and was having fun with the people who lived here telling them to write this story and all? Maybe the certain people that was chosen, was chosen because they could see and hear him?

I myself despise 90% of all famous TV preachers but there are a few good ones out there. Here is my list:
D James Kennedy
Charles Stanely
and I like that Jewish Christian guy Randy Weiss. He seems very intellegant. Who would you put on your list?

It seems like many are like me, pretty much set in their beliefs. Many are able to handle the diversity with a degree of manners and grace, while a few seem only to want to vent. Lately, I have seen a few accounts created to come on R&S to only ask profane questions, or give foul answers. How many think it was kids with no supervision? I do not want to believe that there are that many adults walking around with so much hate and rage.

"Thou shalt not worship and other god before me." Does this mean all the gods are in a competition for universal control?
That should mean that over 2,500 gods exist.

I am a believer, and have been saved for seven years. However, the past couple of years have been really difficult for me, death of a close family member, bad relationship, preparing to leave home, etc. While I still have my faith and love the Lord, my daily devotions have pretty much stopped. I have gotten out of the habit of prayer. My spiritual growth is stunted, and I haven't been able to get back on track. I feel alone, like I'm spinnin my wheels and falling behind. Can someone help me get back to where I need to be spiritually?

Why would a supreme being need infinite worship?

The so-called moderate or liberal Christians anger me much more than fundamentalists, because at least fundamentalists can point to the Bible for support to their claims. When a fundamentalist says Jesus said something, you can bet there's a chapter and verse for it. I may disagree with fundamentalists, but I can at least agree that the Bible does in fact say whatever it is they claim it says. With "moderate" Christians, the conversation quickly drifts into "feelings." As in, "I just don't feel that a loving god would condemn gays to Hell." Or, "I don't feel a nice guy like Jesus would forbid anyone from entering Heaven."

Atheists often pander to these "moderate" Christians, assuming, I guess, that the propaganda message will undermine real Christians' faith, or at least discourage them from practicing their religion as it is written in the Bible. I find this intellectually dishonest and morally repugnant. We shouldn't allow people to say stupid things for any reason.

ex: I'm a christian/muslim first rather than a parent/spouse or lawyer/bricklayer? or is it the other way around? All religions are welcome to answer, even atheists. What about free will does it take precedence over religion and faith or not?
This is a serious question. It got me thinking about it when I saw God's Warrior by Christiane Amanpour on CNN.
P.S. I'm not going to pick the best answer. I'll let the community pick it.

People often compare the nostradamus prophecies to Biblical prophecy. The major difference is that nostradamus prophecies are so incredibly vague, people can fit them into whatever event they want to:

Of the human flock, nine shall be set aside,
Being divided in judgment and counsel,
Their destiny shall be to be divided,
Kappa, Theta, Lambda, dead, banished, scattered

The great man will be struck down in the day by a thunderbolt.
An evil deed, foretold by the bearer of a petition.
According to the prediction, another falls at night time.
Conflict at Reims, London, and pestilence in Tuscany.

Not to mention, when the predictions were specific, they failed (quatrain 72, etc.)

Bible prophecies, however, always list places, names, and specific details:

Ezekiel 37:21-22
and say to them, `This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will take the Israelites out of the nations where they have gone. I will gather them from all around and bring them back into their own land. I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel.

So if you want to believe that these can be compared with each other, you just haven’t bothered to take a good look at either side. Unfortunately, many people just come up with their own ideas without studying to learn the true information.

Please watch her story and share it with others. It is a TRAGIC story but one that must be shared. Hopefully her story will touch your heart and you will be willing to step up to the plate and help children who can't help themselves.

While we are separated by different languages, we all share the same intuitive knowing unless, of course, it has been "educated" out of us by the misuse of language. The problem is that most of us have been partially alienated from our understanding, so it trails behind us Conscience.
For this reason, we are extremely sensitive to words. We tend equate language with reality, so that a mere word affect us in the same way as the thing for which it stand. For example, someone calls you a fool. (Like they do that to me often on YA-R&S). So, you react, you become upset, and you act like a fool (Even if you are not, you become one by reacting to words!)

Words, except when they are loaded with meaning in order to convey understanding, can be confusing and confounding.
One person uses words to say the right thing. Another person, with rhetorical slyness, twists the facts, but his words go down just as well. Which one do you believe ? What is truth ? Confusing ?

What say you all ?
