If you were brought before a Court of Law would their be enough evidence to convict you of being a Baptized in The Holy Spirit Christian?

Please don't write that he doesn't exist, i know he does. Its just that i prayed so hard for something i truly wanted, not out of greed or anything. But he seems to have not answered it, or at least in the way i expecting him too.

I don't know if he meant it to be this way, but im am kind of angry at him. But at the same time, i know that he can sometime answet prayers in strange ways.

I prayed for a better year, because many bad things happened last year. But i feel so lonely right now, it almost hurts. My friends are changing, and i feel like thier abandoning me. I just wanted happiness this year, and i can't seem to find any of it.

Any advice?

i've been thinking and there are 2 main concepts or precepts that keep religions standing, and it will be so for long from now. i have no doubt religion will be wiped out from the Earth in the long run as more men choose to think and reason instead of just hold blind faith, but i might not be to witness such an event.

"faith": excellent resource used by the creators of religion. There'll never be a single piece of evidence for something that doesn't exist, so "faith" is turned into an overrated virtue. Believe no matter what we can't offer you.

"God's ways are mysterious": We don't get tired of describing God and bestowing more and more attributes on Him, but His ways keep being mysterious. No matter what He does, He's always right. Wonder why we keep worshipping a being whose ways we don't understand and believe blindly. If His ways are mysterious He could easily be setting us up.

Lately I have been more and more put off by, (instead of enlightened by) comments from Christians or other western religion types accusing me of being ARROGANT for not believing in the myth that a God came along and puffed humans into existance.

When I was younger and began to embrace my atheism, I don't remember the anger from Christians being as big as it is these days! I remember (when discussing my religious thoughts with others) getting that initial gasp, then a head shaking, and a finger wagging... I felt misunderstood, but I never remember feeling so hated or despised... And no one ever called me conceited!

Another quick bunch of observations, if you don't mind: Isn't the 'faith' the same, atheist or christian? Why is it suddenly 'arrogant' to believe you understand something? Don't Christians and other western religious types believe that they know what is going on too? Why don't they ever find themselves 'arrogant'?

"Consider the fact that everything God has said in the Bible has proved to be. All the prophecies recorded have been completely accurate and were fulfilled down to the smallest detail"

Is this correct? Also how many unfulfilled prophecies are there? Does anyone know if there are any or do we onlt concentrate on the positive ones whilst using propaganda?

Black people are called african americans here in america but from what i was told the orginal orgin of a black person was in the middle east. wich would make majority of the people in the bible of dark skinned complexion. Any one know anything about this? and please no ignorant comments from people who actualy think jesus had blue eyes and blond hair!!

Oh you're the best friend that I ever had
I've been with you such a long time
You're my sunshine and I want you to know
That my feelings are true
I really love you
Oh you're my best friend

Oooh you make me live

Oh I've been wandering round
But I still come back to you
In rain or shine
You've stood by me guys
I'm happy at home
You're my best friend

Oooh you make me live
Whenever this world is cruel to me
I got you to help me forgive
Oooh you make me live now honey
Oooh you make me live

You're the first one
When things turn out bad
You know I'll never be lonely
You're my only one
And I love the things
I really love the things that you do
You're my best friend

Oooh you make me live

I'm happy at home
You're my best friend
Oh you're my best friend
Oooh you make me live
You you're my best friend

i don't believe in god or prayer!

I believe that every religion is sacred, it is holy and it is a pathway to god. I believe that god is in every religion and that every religion is in god. I believe that all religions should be respected and cherished because they have all been established in accordance with the almighty.

I don't understand why Muslims and Christians always market their religion like it is a business product. I don't see Hindus, Buddhists, Jews, Sikhs, Pagans and everyone else shoving their religion down everyone else's throat, like Muslims and Christians do.

Do they not realise that far from getting others to respect and take an interest in their religion, they are actually making it look cheap???

I truly believe this question to be the ahiest of all questions. It's athier than yours, and it's athier than the one you just answered. Granted, all of your questions are probably pretty athy, but this one tops the list.

Your thoughts?

Secular music is considered to be non-religious music. A lot Christians consider this type of music wrong. I'm a Christian, but I don't think all of it is wrong.

Yes, there is some inappropriate material in some secular music, but there are a lot of secular music that does not include profanity and can actually talks about love. Personally, I think people who think all types of secular music is wrong is practically close-minded, because they only think of the profanity and other inappropriate material. For me, Teen Pop and Children's music (which would be considered secular music) isn't entirely bad.

Still I would like to have your thoughts on this subject.

I´m going to need all your Cadillacs and all your cash. Because there are many open circles that need to be closed. For that I´ll need resources.
My power could do it all in a snap, but to deserve a place at my father´s right arm (He´s got a long right arm), the effort has to come from His Creatures.
This is the time of rapture. Get prepared and don´t take your toothbrush, you won´t need it.

My loyal followers, WILL YOU KNEEL BEFORE ME?
