Have you seen, experienced, anything lately that shows there is kindness and consideration in the world? If so, what? I don’t care how small the thing or how large, I am wondering what you see, if anything, that you consider an act of kindness?

I know somebody will ask what this question has to do with R&S. Nothing really except I am asking this based on some questions and answers I’ve seen here recently. Please answer if you can because I am looking for a lot of answers to get a better sense of what people consider acts of kindness from personal experiences.

as i mention in my question pentagram colors

i keep dreaming of this pentagram thats looks like pewter like and about the size of a silverdolor. it has a single red stone ion the center and writtings that deal with what i could make out is religion and speaking devine words. the rest of the writtings look smiliar to angelic laungage commonly used for angelic evocations/magic and it bears the name iof the angel of faith on one side, the other is mercy, grace and i think thelast is reconciliation/redemption. there are a few runes of norse origion and it radioates a holy aura aiweht a warm healing and clensing feeling.

now this is starting to consume my dreams and day dreams.

somehow this is trying to tell me something but thats what i need help on. and one thing i can tell is the blood red stone in the center is extremely important to me and a lot of people

...just that what is god in your opinion

often i get comments whenever i ask a question about god, saying how i need to learn to spell it with a capital g. when i ask why people respond that it's out of respect. this makes me wonder. if we are to show respect to god, that is if he does exist at all, how does capitalizing show any real amount of respect to him. furthermore, am i to take it that he's happy with just one letter of god being capitalized. that sort of respect might be alright for my friend bob or joe, but for god, wouldn't he require a little more respect. like at least two letters capitalized, if not all three. i mean he is god. doesn't he deserve a little more respect than the average person?

As an atheist, I am often asked this question. In fact, when I first tell someone I am an atheist, 90% of the time that is the first question they ask me. I don't make a habit of telling everyone my beliefs, I just live in a small Christian town and people seem to love asking that question around here. Well I am going to answer your question Christians. A car can't form without a designer. So now you ask, how then could the universe have formed without a designer. My answer is, I don't know. Then I'm usually laughed at for saying I don't know. They usually ask me, how can you deny the existence of God while at the same time you admit to being ignorant. How is this for an answer Christians? I would rather be content with the fact that I don't know everything then to make up stories and act like a pompous asshole to anyone who chooses not to believe my stories.

Last week, I took my children to a restaurant.
My six-year-old son asked if he could say grace.
As we bowed our heads he said,
"God is good, God is great.
Thank you for the food, and I would even thank you more
if Mom gets us ice cream for dessert.
And Liberty and justice for all!
Amen!"

Along with the laughter from the other customers nearby,
I heard a woman remark,
"That's what's wrong with this country.
Kids today don't even know how to pray.
Asking God for ice cream!
Why, I never!"

Hearing this, my son burst into tears and asked me,
"Did I do it wrong?
Is God mad at me?"

As I held him and assured him that he had done a terrific
job, and God was certainly not mad at him, an elderly
gentleman approached the table.
He winked at my son and said,
"I happen to know that God thought that was a great prayer."
"Really?" my son asked
"Cross my heart," the man replied. Then, in a theatrical whisper,
he added

that the idea of an unlimited, unsee able, all powerful Creator (i.e the Abrahamic God) is alien to the human brain?

And not really the production of a human mind like atheists suggest.

Since man made religions tend to emphasize human like gods: i.e. they have some sort of deficiency. Example: Greek gods were responsible for certain things and not all things.

The idea that there would be many gods has its deficiencies as well. If such a thing was true, we would all give birth differently for example because one god didnt like the way women bore all the pain.

a sin? Why is premarital sex a sin? shouldnt a real man, christian or not, love his wife for who she is and not if she has had lovers before? and if premarital sex is a sin, why cant people masturbate? Does that mean that pleasuring each other after marriage is also a sin if one isnt not allowed to even pleasure themselves?

and i dont mean to be blunt, crude whatever, but what about oral?anal? swallowing? are those sins as well?

It seems like the more "upright" and "Bible-believing" a person becomes, the more he or she treats other people like garbage! Especially if the other people in question have something "wrong" with them (like being Pagans, Gays, or Atheists, for instance... but these are hardly the only ones!) Jesus said "Judge not, lest ye be judged", yet many Christians (and Jews, Muslims, etc.) seem to think He didn't really mean it! Jesus repeatedly used Samaritans as examples of good people in His parables and stories, when Samaritans were considered the scum of the earth and heretic outcasts by the average Jew of the time whom He was addressing! According to the Jews, the Samaritans "wrong" religious beliefs meant they wouldn't go to Heaven when they died, but Jesus said that a tree (that is, a person) would be judged by its fruit (good works). Many Christians try to reverse it, judging the fruit (the good works) by the tree (the person), and claim the fruit is bad if they dislike the tree!

A work colleague is a Jehovah's Witness, she has started asking me to go to meetings with her. I am Epsicopalian and she knows this. I am not in the least bit interested in going to her meetings or in discovering anything about her faith that I don't already know. She already has one other colleague going with her to meetings and she keeps telling me I need to go too. I'm not talking about the harassment issue here, I just want her to leave me alone. I have repeatedly told her no, I have told her to stop asking me. She keeps asking why I don't want to go, I have told her I am happy in my faith. I have studied other religions over the years but I'm not interested enough to find out more. What can I say to her to convince her I'm really not interested?When I tell her exactly that she tells me I haven't been to a meeting so I can't decide,she's like a child who keeps asking "but why?" What's a good response?

When we look at the bible, we are technically viewing 66 books at once. its a collection of scripture and biblical and religious stories spanned over 1,500 years at least. With a total of 40 authors, the answer to my question would seem simple enough.

But my intentions are to find out who collected the work of these 40 authors and decided they needed to be put into one book. who decided the order of them, and who put them on paper.

Throw away all your beliefs?
I know it would be hard and very frustrating but could you take the challenge?
Or how about a week or a year? How long can you last without your beliefs?
Or is it impossible for you?

Yeah some of the Fundamentalist Born Again's were citing the requirement for DNA evidence to prove scriptural claims.

Well you wanted it so you got it!

Can anyone from anywhere provide me with some DNA evidence that Jesus is God, The Son of God or that he even exsisted?

I have to have this DNA evidence. It must be shown to the world NOW or ALL BELIEVERS AND RELIGIOUS SECTS OF CHRISTIANITY ARE FALSE!!!
