IS life getting boring?
I started working about half a year ago and it seems like life has become, well boreing. Wakeup drive to work, come back from work eat and sleep EVERY SINGLE DAY SAME THING.
The weekends fly by like they weren't even there...(I go out with friends)

How do you feel about life passing by in a hurry?

If you know someone who is abusing the welfare system and claiming to be a Christian, would you feel obligated to report them to the authorities?

It's been rumored that this person, whose husband WILL NOT work and is living with her and the children on section-8 is using falsified info to obtain benefits. The husband is young and healthy and just plain refuses to work, even when he has been helped to secure employment. There are 5 children involved and it would greatly impact there lives.
What is a Christians obligation in a matter like this?
Thanks for all serious answers.....as lives are hanging in the balance.

I'm turning 19 in December and i have never been baptized.

I just asked this question to everyone but it mainly seems to be Christians answering it so now I"m narrowing it down.

I've never had romantic feelings for a CHristian before, I always assumed it just wouldn't work out. Now I do have those types of feelings, but am still not sure if it could work in the end. What do you think?

"Well wait till I am in heaven and you will be sorry"

or

"Well we will be gone to heaven and all of you will be suffering on earth"

or

"Well, it's your choice. If you want to go to hell, I can't stop you."

What does that communicate to you exactly?

If I say to a Christian, (I wouldn't actually make such a threat to anyone. So this is hypothetical only)

"Well when you reincarnate or transcend into a miserable existence to learn the lessons you failed to learn in this lifetime, you will be sorry."

I doubt it really would mean ANYTHING to the Christian since they think my beliefs are not true. So if I was trying to hurt them or threaten them, I would be wasting my time (not that I would do such a thing).

So why do they think it is any different with non-Christians being threatened with hell?

Do they say things like that because they think we secretly believe it is actually true?

What exactly is the purpose of such statements?

what exactly is the problem with it? personally, I see none. well, unless they drown the baby in the water, then that's another story. but I see no harm done during the baptism of infants, so I really don't understand why so many people are against it.

Focus on that brick over there in the corner....it sure looks real, it feels real, my senses say it's real....it must be real!

Focus on God....I can't see it, I don't feel it, and my senses do not sense it.....it must be a fraud.

Okay, that sounds about right.

From an atheist's point of view (at least to my understanding) Science proves everything. It explains what we are, what we aren't, what a brick is, and what God isn't.

My question is, did I get this right? Is this how atheism works? Because if it is, I already see some major flaws. If you people hold belief in science to a great extent (like most atheists claim) then I am sorry for you. Science is inconsistant. Nonetheless, it changes all the time. Science today was way different than science 500 years ago. Science in the future will be way different than science today.

Putting belief in science is ridicuolous. According to science, bumblebees can't fly, but I guess science is worth believing in anyways.

I'd like to think it would. But really when it comes down to it we both think the other person is wrong. It seems like inevitablly the Christian would think the other person is wrong and going to hell or facing some other eternal punishment/seperation and the atheist would think the other person is wrong and therefore somehow intellectually inferior. What do you make of all this?

Or can this be attributed to the person and their narrowmindedness? Sexual abuse of children, hatred of the gay and lesbian community. Which quite frankly I think some of the most attractive, funny, intelligent men are gay. I think these people miss the whole poiint of spirituality

Science vs. God


'Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.'
The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. 'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.'
'
Is God good?'
'
Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes.'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment.
'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would
you help him? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could.
But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a

If yes do you follow it sincerely or you are among those you bend the rules?

Please consider the following:
................
"... the atheist is only here on R&S to harass people that admit they have faith."

"... The atheist has to have more blind faith than a Christian because of the way they think."

"... Atheists think their faith is the only one that counts. Anything they can do to deride good honest people is what they desire or they would not be here."
................
Do you see any shortcomings here or are these agreeable and accurate assessments of atheists?

In the garden of eden, Adam and Eve didn't eat meat. This was paradise so shouldn't we try and live like this?

I know it says in the bible that it's ok to eat meat but this was said at times of famine and we are certainly not in times of famine anymore. Vegetarians have been proved to be healthier and live longer and are even offered discounts by health and life insurance companies because of this.

I just find it hard to believe that an 'all-loving' God would want us to kill God's fellow creatures. And please think beyond quotes with your answers... think, if we can live healthier without meat, then why would god want us to kill. Don't just say that he wants us to... why would he want us to?
