After a lifetime of debauchery and overindulgence in various substances, I believe I'm a hopless case. What do you guys think?

The soul is posited by most Christians as existing in the body while we are alive. Given that there is a continuous process ongoing within us replacing the physical matter that makes up our body, when does the soul enter or vacate that physical matter, and by what means? Does it enter the physical matter that is subsumed into my being when I digest food, and likewise, does it leave the physical matter that my body expunges (i.e., my waste matter)?

Especially those who attack the reputation of God. I find it silly because it is hard to believe somebody who is beyond microscopic in the universe, who can't even create anything and goes cry to momma when sick acts as if he is an authority of the truth.

Think about this: Why would someone say god "inspired" them into doing something or going somewhere, when the same could be said about atheists or homosexuals. Why couldn't god have led them into doing what they chose to do? What makes that situation a particular "wrong choice" that goes against god, but when you make a descision that benefits you, you say god guided you there and/or inspired you?

In this question, when I asked why a parent would choose most people going to Hell (and giving their child free will) over their child having a guaranteed eternal life in Heaven (without being given free will), you told me that God is not my parent because I am not a child of God until I believe in him.

But, just moments later, when I asked what I am to be considered, if not a child of God, you told me that I am in fact a child of God, after all:

I am just interested in what different peoples faiths are. I never grew up with religeon or faith, I guess. I find myself getting annoyed with people who are pushy about their faiths but maybe that is because I really dont understsand it. In the past three years I have lost four people in my life and I often find myself wondering, what defines faith? What does it for some of you out there?

Have you ever expereinced LOVE as KINDNESS? Either in your dealing with another person - or in a person who has had to deal with you? Do you know someone who practices random acts of kindness on a regular basis? Do you - out of simple love?

Can you share a story about being a loving person through kindness?

Love is described as: kind and patient, never jealous, boastful, proud, or rude. Love isn't selfish or quick tempered. It doesn't keep a record of wrongs that others do. Love rejoices in the truth, but not in evil. Love is always supportive, loyal, hopeful, and trusting. Love never fails!...

Peace.

This question is metaphorical. Feel free to make your own interpretations of it.
The question is correctly placed in the R & S section.

Does it mean to forgive someone that has harmed you and continue to be in good terms with them. I am not a Christian and I am trying to use this quote in my paper. I just want to make sure that I am understanding the quote.

Okay, I know that this question could be pretty controversial, but here goes: I don't believe that any religion is wrong- or right, that's why I hate it when people target Islam (or any other religion, for that matter). I don't think that just because of some extremists (and again, this doesn't just apply to Islam) I don't hate all Christians just because some of them are totally anti- whatever. Same goes for Judaism, and Buddhism, and Daoism, and everything! I know, people are going to give me some very nasty remarks for this- but I know that within that, there may be some truth..... Thanks!

"Loving of enemies is another dogma of feigned morality, and has beside no meaning....Those who preach the doctrine of loving their enemies are in general the greatest prosecutors, and they act consistently by so doing; for the doctrine is hypocritical, and it is natural that hypocrisy should act the reverse of what it preaches." – Thomas Paine

I asked this because I am trying to figure something out.I know it has probably been asked before.But I am still curious.What I am curious about is why believers think that telling Atheists they are going to Hell works or describing Hell in detail convinces non believers enough to believe that it must exist because it was described.

Also, *scratches head* why do believers think that non believers are going to be convinced of anything having to do with God or heaven or Hell or Jesus and so forth because it says so in the Bible?Are they oblivious to the fact that non believers are usually non believers because they already don't believe that the Bible is anything more then some rather long and boring fiction written by a bunch of guys in the desert?
