for an ex christian who is confronted with fundamentalists trying to convert them? I went to church camp and as I was leaving, the minister's wife said,"come to my church with your husband. I want to get to know you."

I was supporting my husband and now this is getting more complicated. I won't listen to her. She probably didn't mean it. I just thought that there might be a way to not be a snob and still get my point across that I don't want to be converted.

People don't go to church just to get to know their pastor do they?

Some have said that by using amulets and charms, that voodooists are commiting idolotry. However, can you please explain this to me...
why do Christians accept the fish as the symbol of Jesus or God...when in acutality it has been linked to the Great Pagan Mother Godesses Vulva? Or the following:
In Greece the Greek word "delphos" meant both fish and womb. The word is derived from the location of the ancient Oracle at Delphi who worshipped the original fish goddess, Themis. The later fish Goddess, Aphrodite Salacia, was worshipped by her followers on her sacred day, Friday. They ate fish and engaging in orgies. From her name comes the English word "salacious" which means lustful or obscene.

Christians and atheists are invited to answer. Please no elaboration or sermons on morality. We all know it's a sin. :) And Christians, we know you've been forgiven, and you may consider yourself born again virgins, even if you once had premarital sex. So please, everybody just answer in this format (I'll start for example):

Atheist. Yes.

(this means I'm atheist and yes, I've had premarital sex)

Please be honest. :)

Salaam alaykum, to all supportive sisters. I have now today started wrapping my head, I am very excited. I have a feeling of protection. I just don't have like big shawls and you know the big hijabs. So for now I am wearing the head scarfs like african style. So if any of you know of websites that sell really cool hijabs please post them here. I was taking a look at some, but they weren't very convincing, not like the ones I see sisters here wear.

Thanks to all.

So good deeds don't get you into heaven, faith (to your deity of choice) does the trick? I'm not intending to be inflamatory, but does this mean that some believe Paul Hill (the infamous Pensacola killer) is living it up in heaven and Mohandas Ghandi is being punished? I realize that is a little black and white and doesn't take into account a lot of factors, but you get the idea.

I'm usually a "live and let live" kinda gal here on Y!A and think that it is an interesting forum for the exchange of ideas; in addition, I am generally annoyed with the name calling that occurs without using supporting evidence. However, I can't seem to get my head around this concept so I'm looking for some input.

Oh, and one last thing, if you are a Paul Hill fan you can just skip this question or at least don't use it as your sick little soapbox.

Think about it.I asked earlier about whether God is the most corrupt.But religion seems even more corrupt since it has the most influence in the lives of the majority of people on Earth.So doesn't that mean, by this rule, that religion is the most corrupted thing on Earth?


Besides, I don't believe in God and so how could something that is an invisble piece of the imagination be corrupt?

Having asked this question I notice that Yahoo's suggested section was Mythology and Folklore, rather than Business and Finance, why would that be?

Ok. heres the real deal.

Jesus appearred 2000 years ago. and he spread the word of God about justice and love and that kind of stuff, and the most important thing .. hell and heaven... you will go to heaven if you are a good person and you will rot in hell if you are not. also if you dont beleive in God you'll end up in hell... now

¿since human kind has been wondering around for almost 2-1 million years. what happened to all those billions of people that have lived and died and didn't now anything about God. ? what happened to everyone that beleive in those greek Gods? what happened to all those mortal souls that beleive in Egiptian Faraohs and those Gods?:.. what happened to those who didn't beleive in any God just because they didn't had education? or those who didnt know how to read ?

Does that mean that all those poor BILLIONS of souls that live before jesus time WENT TO HELL ????.. or do they not count??? what happened to them ???.. LIMBO ????

How about cutting of foreskins?
How about raping virgins?
How about killing babies?
How about stoning your neighbor for taking out the trash on Sunday?

Or do these seem, I don't know, a bit strange.

Fantasy books/movies/games that depict magic, etc...

Violent books/movies/games that depict realistic violence/war

Books/movies/games that depict sexual material of a non-pornographic nature (I think we'd all agree porn is damaging to everyone, especially children).

Books/movies/etc... with bad language up to and including the foulest of all, the Lord's Name in vain.

This question is posed because I know several people who freak out if their kid play Final Fantasy or see a little T&A but let their kids play violent games or watch violent movies. Or those parents who drop the JC's and GD's but reprimend their kids if they say "fart."

Hi. I'm doing a lesson at church on Sunday about the Law of Chastity (complete sexual abstinence before marriage and complete fidelity to spouse within marriage).

I want to know how many other religions (eg Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, Islam, spiritual, etc) believe in practicing sexual morality.

Please include the name of your religion or belief system.

I am also interested in a brief description of why you believe in sexual morality. Please no cut and pastes that take up more than one screen.

Thank you for your help.
