Why are pro-abortion groups afraid to let an unsuspecting woman know that the “thing” growing within her is a human life?
Even with that information, under current law the woman would still have the “right” (wrong though it may be) to have that life flushed out of her system

I honestly couldn't say it if my life depended on it. You could put a gun to my head at this point in time threaten to shoot my brains out if I don't say a Hail Mary and my brains would be splattered. Isn't that sad?

The Bible says:
The bat was a bird, it's actually a mammal
The earth is a circle or a square, it's actually a slightly deformed sphere
The earth is stationary, the earth rotates and orbits around the sun
The earth is supported by strings or w/e: gravity supports celestial objects
All life was simultanously created: life started from a single common ancestor 4 billion years ago
Life doesn't change: evolution

Is there anymore scientific misconceptions in the Bible you can think of? Can anyone name something that the Bible got right about the natural world?

Just wondering why there are so many immature people on here. The things they say back to you is so silly. Lol! I think some are hardheaded as a mule. They don't want to accept the truth. So I guess they want to end up in hell. Which is so sad! Praying for the lost to accept Jesus before its too late! Jesus loves you! I am 33 years old and been a christian since I was 15. Jesus has really blessed me. Have faith and give Jesus a chance.

I just found out that my grandmother is dying and only a (scientific) miracle could make her better from her cancer. Last person in my family to die, did so unexpectably (to me anyway) and I wasn't *too* close to him. And before him was my grandfather when I was 4.

Last time I saw my grandmother was very sweet - she held my hand the entire time and I helped her with some poetry.

My mother just told me the news by phone (I'm in college) and I'm not sure what to do or how to feel or anything - I can't stop crying. I can't visit my family soon for a couple days, and my grandmother *could* die before I see her. And anyway, if she never gets better I can never see her because they're keeping her sleeping so she isn't in pain... :(

Seeing as how I know Heaven/Afterlife to not exist, I was wondering how other atheists deal when a close family member dies or is possibly going to die.

2007-09-21 13:58:33 · 6 answers · asked by Rani 2

Ok, so i really am trying to become the best muslim i can be, especially during Ramadan. So i fasted today, and wanted to go Tarawih after Iftari. And my mom was reluctant to go, i mean the only reason she goes to Iftari is so she doesn't have to cook. So I had to ask her so many times, and i also wanted to attend Sunday School, but because of sum stupid reason, she won't let me go.

Im going to try my hardest to pray 5 times a day, but being a muslim, it is good to have attend the masjid regularly, and that is exactly what my parents are stopping me to do. I get so sad, because i don't have any friends, and i really want to build a strong relationship with my masjid. i don't know what to do. I do dua at night that Allah (swt) will put my parents on the straight path.. but it never seems to happen

My parents are in the way of me becoming a good muslim.. what shud i do?

Could it be because you're simply turning things into demons when there's actually a more rational explanation?

Christianity pretty much has a chokehold on this country and has been, effectively, deciding policy since Jerry Falwell's rise. But in spite of Christians' claims that their religion and Jesus are the answer to all problems, people are suffering. We are at war - both militarily and ideologically, and poverty is increasing. Families are losing their homes. Christians themselves complain often about the lack of morality that they're sure exists and is worsening, according to them. If Christianity is the great panacea that its followers claim it to be, why is this country in such bad shape?

How to explain this paradox? Is Christianity good or bad?

on another question I said just Christians, but if there is anyone out there that wants prayer for something please let me know. I would like to help you or whoever it is through prayer. I had said just Christians 'cause I know sometimes non-Christians don't give serious answers. Please, no matter who you are, give me a SERIOUS answer as to what you want prayer for. You can look my other question up for MY prayer requests:

"Dear Christians...I only want you answering...don't answer if you aren't a Christian!!!!!?"

Jeremiah 14:22
Are there any among the false gods of the nations that can bring rain?Or can the heavens give showers?Are you not he, O LORD our God?We set our hope on you, for you do all these things.

Nope- nothing, there is no breath in them as the Bible says. Only God can act- and only God can answer. Only God is GOD! He is alive forevermore and holds our breath in His hands! Hallelujah!

And they just talk about the Bible, and they dont mention the book of mormon. Then when they send the missionarys to your home they tell you how the Bible is incorrect and the book of mormon is the truth. And you have to be a mormon to go to heaven. And you have to accept that the book of mormon is true or you wont go to heaven. Do you think they are lieing to you so they can suck you into their cult. Its funny how they, and the Jw's have to use the Bible to suck you in. What do they have with no Bible?

It was a busy day in the Rome metro station. Behind me, my sisters and father were studying a map. I didn't pay much attention. I assumed, I suppose, that they were plotting out where we would go from our next stop. Then, with a whoooosh of wind, the train pulled to a stop to admit passengers. Certain my family was following behind me, I hurried aboard.
The train took off with a lurch as an old, weathered italian man grinned wolfishly at me. I shuddered, scanning the crowd for my family. They weren't there! Stumbling as the train swayed on its underground tracks, I went up and down the long length of the train. (The length of a small street!) They were not aboard! Suddenly nervous and terrified, I studied the signs above my head. The next stop was Villa Augustine, and I would have to get off here, as obviously I could not remain on the metro. I stepped off amongst the sweaty, loud crowd onto the platform, completely alone, only fourteen, and frightened.
For a while, I wandered around

Both Christian and Atheist are dead serous?

2007-09-21 13:20:57 · 18 answers · asked by Anonymous

We don't chose our genetic makeup, our parents/family, our starting socieconomic status, or the kind of society we are born into. With all of these very important factors being totally out of our control, how much freedom is really left for us to have? Even our personalities and decision making processes are the results of the aformentioned factors and social conditioning. It seems to me that we only percieve that we have free will because we don't have the time or brain power to really understand how all the deterministic factors interact. Free will is our mental shortcut.

But I know there are many many people who do believe in free will, that the ultimate decision of who we are and what we do lies solely within us. So I ask them, how can you reconcile the concept of free will with the very important life factors that are out of our control?

I tried it and he remained silent. I guess you are wrong in believing God does not exist. Let me know if he answers yes and I will believe that you may have a point to your tomfoolery.
