Allow me to go first:

Insanity, like all mental states, is a tool. We use it or it uses us.
It is to be a state, not a permanence, and we must strive to achieve and active imaginative state in all off our workings if we wish to achieve awe-inspiring results... that being said, have fun!

I have a youth class. We are studying Islam. The young ladies raised the question that Islam treats women unfairly. Could some Muslims help me respond to their question? Does the Muslim faith treat women fairly or unfairly? Could you provide some quotes from the Quran that I could use in class that supports what you are saying.

By the way I am trying to be fair in presenting the picture of Islam and I do appreciate any help.

She is Baptist. She has been diagnosed with colon cancer, and will require a near-total colectomy. I would like to be able to tell her honestly that the good people here are keeping her in their thoughts. I know it would make her feel better. To make this a legit question: What can we do to boost the spiritual strength of those who are suffering from cancer and other life threatening medical issues?
Thank you all in advance.

I know Jesus' birthday is on December 25th, when the 3 wise men followed the shining star to the easter bunny and gave him franklin sense and mars.
I love fuzzy little bunnies

Why do you need to convince somebody of the denial?
Do you think you know everything about your life and this world?

Do anything you want, anything , then beg forgiveness and you're good to go.
that is so contary to what the bible teaches, and what we believe.
examples:
Hbr 10:26 ¶ For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,

Romans 6:1What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? 3Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
we are NOT to pratice sin as a life style, and do not promote such.

3 What if the opposition being killed in combat happen to be members of your religion?
This should be interesting.

I'd think the "perfect word of God" would live up to it's claim. But The Bible is loaded with brazen contradiction and it reads like it was written by a few 1000, half-literate enthusiasts.

No?

Neither my fiance or I are religious people, but we want to get married in a church-simply because they are beautiful. Are there any churches that will let you use the space even if you are of no religion?

i have no doubts that our existance is made up of infinite miracles. we live, and so therefore we must eventually die. life is temporary, is death also temporary?

it doesnt matter what day adam and eve were created. I must say that it is frustrating when people cant answer a question so they beat around the bush, give a circular answer, or try to find a problem in the question so it looks like they know what thier talking about.

if adam and eve were created sometime around when the earth was, then that would be over 250 million years ago, and they would have to survive two known mass extinctions. If they were created less than 50 million years ago (after last mass extinction) then wouldnt we be further along than we are now. for instance cars, and computers, wouldnt we have somehow figured it out over the course of 50 million years, opposed to a couple thousand

why do we constantly battle with those who go against our beliefs. we are supposed to stand on the word of God. Do you feel when we put down others we are being true Christians? we are supposed to put on our armor for battle but so many just criticize non believers and ridicule them
as they do us. does this help NO!! we need to lead by example. I am sure this will make many upset with me. Yet day after day I see this in life. My daughters mother in law told my 9 year old grandson last week end that he was an idiot and full of the demon spirit. he feels so bad about himself now. yet she professes to be this ordained minister , bible knowledge, super Christian. I think not. all I can say is people like her will find out someday. sorry if I offend anyone. We are supposed to love one another and not judge. reach out to those who hate and persecute us with love always. God Bless

If prayer works - let's prove it! Let's get together all of the wonderful pro-war, pro-life Christians and have them pray for one of our vets. Specifically, I'd like to take a vet who lost a limb(s) in our unjust war. Let's have all one million pray for his limb to grow back. Salamanders are doing this on a daily basis (presumably without the benefit of prayer) so I'm sure it will work. Let's designate a specific vet and start the process!
