Lee Strobel was an atheist. He also was a journalist. He set out to disprove christianity and eventually decided to become a christian. Anyway in The Case For Faith, he writes about what he calls the eight "heart" barriers to faith. To summarize, 1) If there is a Loving God why is there suffering? 2) If miracles contradict science, how can a rational person believe? 3) If God is morally pure, How can he sanction the slaughter of innocent children in the OT? 4) If Jesus is the only way, what about people that have never heard of Him? 5) If God cares about people, how could he let them go to hell? 6) If God is the ultimate overseer of the chruch, why has it been rife with hypocrisy and brutality throughout the ages? 7)If God really created the universe, why does the evidence of science compel so many towards evolution? 8) If I'm still plagued by doubts, then is it still possible to be a christian? Wndering if any atheists have read this book, and what they thought about it.

I was off the clock at my former job, I was speaking to fellow Christians about Bibical things: (all sin is selfish and thus when we sin we are leading a selfish lifestlye, and I was trying to explain this in an understanding way). A lady sat next to us on the otherside of a divider, so she saw and heard us talking. She had her children infront of her, and mid-way through my sentence I hear "EXCUSE ME! Can you please shut up, so I can eat in peace?" What made her not have peace, and why did she sit next to us, when she could have easily move. Needless to say I said, "I'm sorry" then I addressed my friends "Hey guys want to move over there?" We ended the conversation, but my question is, why are things in life like this, why is everything so hateful? Why can't I talk about what I believe without strangers listening? And why can't you eat in peace only if a Christian were talking? If a Muslim were next to me I actually would be interested in what they had to say, not offended!?

THIS QUESTION WAS REMOVED SO I LOST ALL YOUR ANSWERS I hope you can answer again so I can learn something about the Muslim Religion Thanks

(1) I am Jewish but my family is not very religious so as far as Muslims, I dont know much. I really dont know the difference between the two and if there are other versions of Muslim Religion please tell me.
(2) As far as "do they not like each other" I have fuzzy information about Shea & Sunni fighting each other in Iraq?? I do not mean to be critical or anti-Muslim by asking this.

Thank You!!

I was talking with a gentleman today that told me quite a horror story about an adopted girl that accused him of molestation. They took the three girls out of the home and basically cleaned him out financially. There is no way that this guy was a Pedofile.

I don't say that because I think I know, it is a cold hard fact and it was proven he was innocent.

Is Social Service praying on children as a means to tap into our money?

Do they have too much power?

Has anyone had a calling and after some circumstances came your way, you walked away from that calling for a time (5.5 years) only to wake up and realize that you have been living in misery because you forgot? I feel like I have been living in rebellion....if not, please do not reply.

Its been said he inserted a cryptogram (a message written in code) while he translated Psalm 46. In this Psalm, the 46th word from the beginning is shake and the 46th word from the end is spear. Furthermore, in 1610, while the King James was being translated, Shakespeare would have been 46 years old. Ever here of this theory?

If Gods are individuals who have passed through mortality and have progressed to Godhood, how has one person of the Trinity (the Holy Spirit) attained Godhood without getting a body? (See Acts 5:3,4)

I asked a question earlier concerning a verse in Matthew, about Jesus saying "The Kingdom of God is within you" and I asked what other christians were getting from this verse. It was a question! Why would it be removed?
SO ANYWAYS--once again- That verse in Matthew 21 I believe where Jesus says "The Kingdom of God is within you"
-Do you know what Jesus was speaking about? I like to see what other christians get from these scriptures.....also you may want to look up the verses surrounding it of course.

I am torn between Wicca and Catholicism. Earlier today, for the first time, I attended my first mass. I like the ritualistic feeling to Catholicism, and I like the fact that I can easily hear the word of God by simply going to a church service. However, the problem is that I don't want to believe some of the main laws of Christianity. 1) I believe that every religion prays to the same God; we just view Him or Her a bit differently. I know that Christianity does not share this viewpoint. 2) I definitely believe in a female deity, and I am unwilling to give that belief up. 3) Lastly, sex before marriage, I don't think it's a big deal. Anyways, my question is, do you think it's okay if I still attend Catholic mass (in light of my beliefs)? Can I listen to their message of love and apply it to my life without accepting all of their values? Also, how can I get closer to God as a Wiccan? I am tired of reading books. Thanks!

That is, apart from:

- The shameless hypocrisy
- The arrogant self-righteousness
- The willful ignorance
- The cynical indoctrination & poisoning of young minds with prejudice and hate
- The brutal imposition of 'biblical morality'
- The intrusive demands on how to act, what to think, what to believe, and who to kill for believing something else
- The inevitable miserable oppression consistently accompanying religion whenever it assumes any power

I mean, apart from all that, what could you possibly have against it?
