why it is not ok for a JW NURSE to give blood to a patient she is in charge of? Makes no sense to me, and is unfair to a busy staff.

Describe some things in the Bible that cause you to doubt what it says.

If you look at the comments to this news story: http://edition.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/africa/11/30/sudan.bears/?imw=Y&iref=mpstoryemail , you'll see people saying thing like "I am Muslim, I just want to say that these people do not represent me or Islam"

You'll also see people saying things like "See - they're savages! This proves that this is not a religion of peace"

That has to be so frustrating for all of the good people in the world who choose to follow Islam.

What sort of things are these people doing to distance themselves from the people who say that a schoolteacher should die because she let some kids name a teddy bear Mohammed?

The authorities moved her because of threats by Muslim civilians armed with guns and knives.

So go ahead and drink if you'd like but then answer my question.

In all the articles I've read about this case, it's mentioned that the teacher let her students choose the name for the bear, she didn't name it herself. Are these kids being punished too? Of course I don't think they should (I don't think anyone should), but I'm just curious.

Sorry if this has been asked already, I tried to read through the teddy bear questions first but there's just so many of them!

I'm just curious because you can't celebrate something you don't even believe in. THAT WOULD BE HYPOCRITICAL. So what do you do when us "crazy" believers are celebrating this blessed and joyous day?

"VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Benedict, in an encyclical released on Friday, said atheism was responsible for some of the "greatest forms of cruelty and violations of justice" in history"

The nerve of that man! He is head of the organization that brought us the crusades, the inquisition, and failed to even censure Hitler (a Catholic).

Or does that privilege only belong to westerners when they go to a foreign country.

In the second encyclical of his papacy, Benedict urges Christians to put their hope for the future in God and not in technology, wealth or political ideologies.

If so, when will you be tossing your computers out, stop watching tv, stay off the phone, sell your car, etc....

and where does it end?

I appreciate that when visiting a muslim country we have to respect their religion. Why does this country (UK) not have a similar policy. we are a Christian country but we cant wear crosses in case we upset others. We cant display a cross in a registry office. What is going on? We seem to be so politically correct we are losing our identity. By the way i have decided to change my cats name to mohammed (lol)

I know a few people whos patriarchal blessings say that they will LIVE to see the 2nd coming of Christ. How would most LDS interpret this...it is what it is, or could it mean something else? One lady I know is in her 90's and I guy I know is almost in his mid thirties. Both their patriarchal blessings say the same thing. This thought raises a lot of questions in relation to what scripture reveals about events that will occur before the 2nd coming of Christ and things that must be in order before hand. Will this woman live to be 130 years old? or will Christ come before all revelation takes place? I highly doubt? What sayest thou? OR maybe I am in all just reading too much into it aye? Your comments are great appreciated. Thanks.

why is there so much violence involved? It seems strange that a merciful god would have his people whip people over a word or kill people senselessly. I have been reading on Allah and the word merciful comes up so many times it is like a broken record.

I think a lot of Christians are racist. That's why they have a hard time accepting that Jesus was an African American.

In other words:

1) Can a person only know 1% of truth and still go to heaven?
That is: can a person believe the basic Gospel message and so be saved, yet at the same time know next to nothing about the Bible, doctrine, and theology?

(like an Afghan native who but once heard a basic Gospel presentation over the radio from Pakastan…repented and believed, but then died shortly thereafter…never having even seen a Bible?)

2) Can a person know a great deal of all truth (say, even 99%) and still go to hell?
This person could know much truth about physics, biology, philosophy, history, and even theology – knowing and even having memorized the entire Bible, mentally and intellectual grasping the basics of the Gospel, and rightly understanding more difficult doctrinal issues - yet still, at heart level have no faith in the basic Gospel message and still go to hell?

Finally:
If 1 and 2 are true, what practical implications does this hold – for Christians and non-Christians alike?

Would you prefer a black-and-white, no questions asked moral code, or one with shades of gray? Why?

Disregard "legislated morality" please -- i.e., the government just might be wrong.

This is double-posted in philosophy as well, if you want to comment from 2 angles.

Thanks all!

The crusades were not the brainchild of an ambitious pope or rapacious knights but a response to more than four centuries of conquests in which Muslims had already captured two-thirds of the old Christian world. At some point, Christianity as a faith and a culture had to defend itself or be subsumed by Islam. The Crusades were that defense. What say you?
