Yesterday my three year old son asked what prayer was. I told him that it was talking to God. He looked at me strangely but didn't say anything. Today, I picked him up from my mother in law and she was scandalized. She couldn't believe it when my son told her that we should pray to God. She is a devout Orthodox (we live in Greece) and she called me un christian for teaching my son to pray to God instead of the Virgin Mary and St. George! When I told her that whereas Mary was a remarkable woman, she was only human as was St. George, and Jesus himself told us to pray to God (Our Father in the Heavens...), she flipped her lid. She asked where I had heard such nonsense, and I replied back "The Bible". She gave me a hard look and said 'don't read that book anymore.'
Is this what All Orthodox believe then? Or is my mother in law just another victim of religious leaders and their man made traditions?

Why is it when something goes wrong people blame God? God gave people free will, right? So why do people blame everything on God? And why do people blame Him for not stopping all the destruction and evil?

okay I decided to mess with some of the French's heads and say that the bible is fiction just to see how they would react. (Yes I do know some french) and look at length of the second answer.

A big argument for ID is that the human eye, for instance, is so complex that it requires a designer. Who is that designer? Better yet, would that designer not also be complex and, thus, also require a designer? Who designed the designer? Who designed the designer of the designer? etc. etc.

It is estimated that there are 30,000 different types of Christianity in the world today , ‘ Positive Christianity ‘ – the choice of Hitler, is but one of the 30,000 variations .

Where do we draw the line?
Are we Drawing lines in the Sand ?
Are the Atheist Christians real Christians ?
Not to mention the Mormons , the JW’s , the ‘ Jews for Jesus ‘ and ROMAN Christians , who just so happen to have all the answers buried in the Vatican ?

Soz for the Headline-catching question, when does a Christian stop ( or Start ) being a Christian ? How much ‘ Belief in the Heart ‘ is required to be a Christian ? Enough to kill another person ?

If you look at the worlds religions and spiritual beliefs you can find many similarities over a wide matrix of belief. certain commonalities are recurring, such as a Global Divine Mother, A Father of Light, Angels, compassion, one human family, guardian angels, a purpose to existence which goes beyond self interest, mandalas, Great Spirit, Holy Spirit, human stewardship of the planet, dark and light spirits, relationships between disease and spiritual imbalance .....and many more.

Have you ever heard the saying, "They say if you want to make God laugh, all you have to do is tell him your plans".

I personally think his whole plan is pretty laughable.

It seems to be in a stage equivalent to adolescence--rebellious, volatile, indignant, demanding, seeking independence. Christianity was a bit like this in the Dark Ages. If so, does this mean we can expect Islam to simmer down in just another 400+ years?

in regards to a question asked just a few moments ago
someone was asking how she could tell if her religion was the correct religion
most Christian responses were that you can tell by what the bible has to say

but where is the logic in that ?
that is like staff in a store saying they are the best store because the owner of the store said so

I was reading that only 4 % of american teenagers are Christians.
Think thats sad. Are you a Christian? We need to take a stand for what we believe in! We need to take back this generation for God!! What do you think?

Yet the Harry Potter series was read by most children?
The new English versions of the bible are easier to read and I realize that the older versions were hard to understand.
I thought because it was such a large book, with a lot of reading. But the Harry Potter books are quite large and the reading is very complex.
Could it be that parents are not stressing enough that the reading of the bible is very important?
It tells of man's history and where we are in the stream of time and what the earth will experience in the future.
Looks like that would be of interest to children?
Why do you think it isn't?

Many non-believers bring up myths of osiris and so forth who they try to compare with Christ. Of course someone who hasn't experienced Christ working in there lives wouldn't understand. But why do they not bring up the thought that osiris and others were more likely false fables that are used to deceive those who have experienced the wonders of Jesus?

A married couple who both make $33K a year. They have about $25K in debt on student loans and a car (no credit cards), which they are slowly paying down.

They are now pregnant and the wife plans on staying home once the baby is born. This was a mutual decision be the wife and the husband. This will mean that they will now be living on half of their income. This also means they will be short on their bills (monthly) buy about $580.

The husband is going to get a second job while the wife is pregnant to start saving money. Once the baby is born they will pull $580/month from that savings. If the husband's promotion doesn't come through by the time the savings is almost out he will get a second job again.

What is your opinion on this situation?

Strong atheist "There are no gods"?

De Facto atheist "I cannot know for certain but I think God is very improbable, and I live my life on the assumption that he is not there"?

Theological noncognitivists, "All God-talk is meaningless"?
