I bet there are a few of you out there...don't be afraid to speak up.


Isn't that the un-Christlike thing to do? Throw away your trash when it can be someone else's treasure is not a teaching of Christ.

As Robert A. Heinlein once said: "Theology is never any help; it is searching in a dark cellar at midnight for a black cat that isn't there. Theologians can persuade themselves of anything."

I agree with R.A. Heinlein do you?

My husband recently felt God calling him into the ministries. He had thought maybe a youth pastor. I support him in whatever he wants to do. I'm just nervous about myself being a "pastor wife". I'm a religious person but very young in my walk. I have prayed about it. But does anyone have advice for me. And can you pray for me too.

Buddhists believe that Buddha escaped the cycle of rebirth, right? The Dalai Lama is the reincarnation of Buddha, isn't he? What up with that?

" God isnt robocop " and He " lets us get raped to make us grow " ? These are answers that were on my previous question. Thats the sickest thing anyone can say about " God ". Then you are saying He is some passive guy in the sky that COULD stop a rape but WONT so we can grow ? You have GOT to be kidding me. Then why dont we emulate Him and do nothing when we see people hurt ? Why dont we invite the abuser over to abuse our other sisters so they can all get closer to God ? What kind of logic is this ????? You are making God a bi-polar hippie peace pipe passafist. SORRY....I cant accept that.

I'm just curious. The four noble truths seem parsimonious. Alot of it seems like it could be verified empirically ( through the use of our senses)

Can you honestly say if you are in group of "I think" people or group of "I believe" people.

You know the different between those two, one use logic as much it can while other use blind faith.
If you are in between, what is the border among them.

ps. Christians, I think you're not included since you don't use logic, am I correct?

Someone asked if Jesus was black. Most likely, he was Middle Eastern looking.

However, David Lerner made and interesting point. He wrote: "Children from each culture will render Jesus as looking like themselves unless taught to do differently. This is natural, and I think it is a part of God’s plan for reaching the nations. Jesus is no longer flesh and blood, as we know it. He is different from us. At this point in time we meet him as the Holy Spirit represents him to us. He has no color, no ethnic heritage, and no cultural distinctions except the holiness and righteousness of God."

What do you think of that view? I think it sums it up pretty well: it doesn't matter.

The magical fantasy found in the Bible will come at a later date. My next question Christians is this. If Jesus Christ is the son of God then how is he God. God, The Son, And The Holy Ghost are all the same exact being. When God sent his Son which was him to begin with, why did he pray to his father if he was his father this doesn't make any sense.

I'm Athiest. I use to go to church to be with my friends and my best friend every friday and sunday. I stopped because i would always find myself debating with them and it would bore me. I always ask her to hangout but she tells me to go to church. I always repeat myself telling her that i'm not interested in going. I don't want to be mean and yell at her asking her to stop asking me to go to church but when i try to be nice she doesn't get it...

I get the feeling she's asking me to go so i can be a christian again..but that's not going to happen.

How can I get her to stop asking me?
(Even if i don't ask her to hangout she still calls me and asks me why i didn't go to church)

My theology came to me when i asked god to tell me the trurth about him i went to sleep and had a dream of him explaining all of this

God is a energy field in space this Energy Field had no beginning and will have no ending this energy field is an infinite amount of light years away from out planet. Have you ever heared of the “big bang theory” . According to the big bang, the universe was created sometime between 10 billion and 20 billion years ago from a cosmic explosion that hurled matter and in all directions. This energy field who is god caused the cosmic explosion creating life forms in various parts of the galaxy we are not alone. From the energy field suns were created and various kinds of planets the energy field controls the weather and climate of each planet by the alignment of the planet with the sun. On certain planets the energy field would send some of his energy to a certain planet thus causing a life forms to emerge over time. Through meditation when we began come

I definitely would. The president and his wife, Richard and Lindsay, are just the best party hosts in the south! If you are cool, they might even take you on vacation with them or buy you gifts! They drive nice cars, have nice cell phones and stay in touch by text message (LOL). They have some great parties at their campus and they rock on like a good Christians should. They are true God warriors! I would be flattered to have my kid learn in this outstanding Christian environment.
