That when someone gives an extremely long rant (or a hugh cut-n-paste) as an answer, that you can give them the thumb and they just disappear to the bottom of the page?

I used to be a big believer in Christianity but ever since a friend told me about the big bang theory I'm finding it hard to get back into religion.
Religion used to be such a comfort to me but everything i hear about science makes a LOAD more sense then religion.
It seems to me that if you are a Christian it's basically believe in God. God is the answer to everything.
I have two really close friends that are strong christians and they have been trying to help me but everytime they say stuff to me it makes me really uncomfortable and makes me think "you believe that?!"
I don't mean that disrespectively I'm just soo confused!!
What do you guys think?

No sex in Heaven would be EXTREMELY UNFAIR to those who never had a chance to do it when they were alive and then not get to do it in Heaven. You go to Hell if you kill someone out of cold blood, not because you wanted to know what it was like to have sex.



Personally, I think all of you who think that God would take away something so great and pleasurable, something that a 17-year old male virgin wanted to do before a sudden tragic death are utterly full of sh#t. I believe it CAN exist there!!!!!

Since there's no way you can prove I'm not. I guess you'll just have to have faith. *wink*

I just saw the above quote as an answer to this question below.

Interesting response. The source is the bible. Is there any Christian out there willing to give an exact source to this quote?

The answerer was given 3 thumbs up, so he's obviously not alone in his belief.

Seriously they thought the man would not make it through the night. His family asked if he wanted the preacher and he declined and stated he felt more at peace when I was around and wanted to see me.
I am just curious what your thoughts are of this.
Mind you I don't go in there and pray or any of that.
I really don't even know the guy all that well, he is the father of one of my hubby's friends. If anything I would flirt with him when I did some work at a nursing home he resides in.

In this aspect do you believe that even non-believers can have a spiritual bond with other people?

I read the Quran and it was really great that u can be so sure that it is written by "GOD". It has absolutely no mistakes and every line is true. For example: It said: When the world is close to terminating, there will be much tall buildings, the earth will start dying from its two limbs (poles), the right will become wrong and vice versa, there will be much killing, sex will become a normal thing between ppl nd they'll do it anywhere, anytime and even without being married. Furthermore, gaiety will spread, diseases will increase...that's just a line that was written 1449 years ago in arabic in quran. Isn't this happening. It is also written that the moon was split into two halfs and then fastened; i recently read that scientists dicovered a crack on the moon exactly hlafway the moon all around it. Another thing that the praying of muslims is the perfect cure for back and spinalcord problems.There are plenty of things nd I really suggest that everyone reads it and see how perfect it is

Don't comment right away. Please go read it. I am a Catholic too and I find this passage interesting. I wanted to know what you think.

I don't know if you have ever done a Novena but there are Novenas to a few angels. That is why I ask this.

When you get a chance read all of Colossians it's really good.

I'm learning about different religions through the ages, and linking everything up to how it all started. Ive been reading a post from earlier regarding Mazzarot in the bible so I investigated.

Who knows more about this and why it links up with Christianity religion?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mazzaroth
http://www.mazzaroth.com/index.htm
http://www.mazzaroth.com/Introduction/MazzarothDefined.htm

http://business.gorge.net/zdkf/elt-maz.htm

Think about the ancient Egyptians as well.

Myself, I'm atheist but I find each link in the chain throught the centuries intriguing, and it makes you want to delve deeper.

I wonder what's missing that we don't know about, and it seems like believe in gods all started from the natural universe.

Sahih Bukhari Volume 5, Book 58, Number 234
http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsunnah/bukhari/058.sbt.html#005.058.234

"Narrated Aisha: The Prophet (MuHAMmad) engaged me when I was a GIRL of SIX (years old). ...my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was PLAYING IN A SWING with some of my girl friends. ... She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house.... There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, "Best wishes and Allah's Blessing and a good luck." Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah's Apostle (Muhammad) came to me in the forenoon (consummated the marriage) . . . and at that time I was a GIRL of NINE YEARS OF AGE."

the big bang theory makes no sense and breaks laws of science =/
- the big bang theory says that all of the universe began in a single little dot and started spinning really really fast until it all exploded. a scientific law states that every moon planet and galaxy should be spinning the same way but they are not. we have entire galaxies spinning backwards
- also, the big bang theory states that living organisms came from non-living items. that was proven wrong 200 years ago
- and, there are many stars in the sky. if you counted up the ones we know of, every person on earth would have 2 trillion stars. out of all of those stars, not one has been witnessed in creation. stars explode all of the time - novas, supernovas - but not one has been spotted being created. there was ONE spotted getting brighter (potentialy could be a created star) but it could also very well be a star hidden behind dust and that dust is clearing =/

is the big bang theory the best mankind has?

I don't care HOW glorious and HOW great people say Heaven will be and how it will feel there compared to here and all of these other things I can do there, and as they put it, "more joyful things" there, all I'm gonna say is that I can AT LEAST STILL experience everything there as I've gotten to experience here on Earth in some area up there if I REALLY want to. One of my many examples here is what about the RUST-FREE treasure in Heaven? What if you wanna know what it still feels like to watch treasure rust and feel the rust by rubbing it with your hand? If the treasure in Heaven never rusts whether you like it or not, then you won't get to experience everything afterall. Afterall, sometimes it's nice to have the sour to make the sweet, sweeter. If everything is sweet in Heaven with no sour even if you want it, then it'd be no challenge and it'd start to get boring. Same old perfect this, same old perfect that....

Ok,
I know I did not evolve from something swinging from tree to tree.
I know I wasnt "poofed" out of nowhere.
But the way some people behave today, and rant, and threaten, I am sure I came from another planet. I cannot relate at all. Am I an extraterrestrial?

Jeffrey Dahmer and David Berkowitz (Son of Sam) are a few that claimed to have found God. I'm a Christian and I believe that I will see them in heaven. It doesn't bother me at all, because anyone can go to heaven.
