How do you feel about people "praying" to or holding pictures or statues of the Virgin Mary. Maybe even celebrating certain dates as Holidays that pertain to her life?

Surely you know about Satan's Secret Society 666 and how they are spreading throughout society like a cancer. They seduce, trick, even force people into playing and practicing occult games and practices which cause spiritual bondage to demonic forces and witchcraft. Then comes the secret ceremony assisted with witchcraft, Down the rabbit hole. The victim is forced to go through a transcendental meditation ceremony assisted with witchcraft. If you except the worship of there"Gods" and one is Lucifer then you become part of the brotherhood/family. This organization is better known as the burnt french fries were the deepest darkest recesses of pain and horror await them for eternity..

In the Bible it states that God created Adam and Eve but how could humans be created first if they weren't even around during when the dinosaurs lived. Also Darwinism says that humans evolved from apes and gorillas and there gorilla named Coco knows 450 signs of sign language. Also she can answer questions about things in her surroundings.

It seems like the more religiously fundamental a Christian is, the more certain they are that there are no extraterrestrials.

Is there something about the possibility of intelligent life on other planets that threatens Christianity?

Would god inspire hundreds of pages of scripture and yet not use any of this instruction to teach the trinity, if it were the "central doctrine" of faith?

i'm atheist.
i don't have children.
i may one day have children.
i think that how they are raised is very important in their mental growth and what ideals i portray to them are also important.

i'm not asking if you think it's wrong, i'm asking if you think it's wrong based on my beliefs.

can you bring yourself to answer this question based on what i actually wrote?

That a person should not accept another persons blood so they could survive?
Speaking of Jahovas Witnesses.
Just read a news story - again - about a J.W refusing transfusions and of course, this 14 year old died.
Now, is 14 years of age really mature enough to decide his own fate? Is he really knowledgable on his religion or was it force fed to him when he found out he had Leukemia?
I'm sorry - if it came between my child dying or a transfusion to save her, heck yeah i'd say transfusion.
Doesn't mean God is gonna spit her out of his mouth so this topic peters me.
But, i'll stay nice and calm and see what people have to say and all i am looking for is where this all stems from and why, if there is an answer to why.

The teacher in Sudan asked the students to vote to name the teddy bear. The students picked the name, not the teacher. So the students are the ones that named the teddy bear "mohammed" right? Shouldn't the students all be executed?
Seems fair.

I have been frequently told that the actions of a select few muslims make the rest of Islam look bad. This doesn't sound like a select few to me, it sounds like the rank and file. . . How do you rationalize this?

KHARTOUM, Sudan (AP) - Thousands of Sudanese, many armed with clubs and knives, rallied Friday in a central square and demanded the execution of a British teacher convicted of insulting Islam for allowing her students to name a teddy bear "Muhammad."

The protesters streamed out of mosques after Friday sermons, as pickup trucks with loudspeakers blared messages against Gillian Gibbons, the teacher who was sentenced Thursday to 15 days in prison and deportation.

They massed in central Martyrs Square, outside the presidential palace, where hundreds of riot police were deployed, although they did not attempt to stop the rally.

They called for Gibbons' execution, saying, "No tolerance: Execution," and "Kill her, kill her by firing squad."

For all which believes to exists, exists within it's imagination. For all which is seen, all which is heard, all which felt, all which known, all which is, cannot be trusted. Logic says: all which is, is. Sometimes: all which is, is not. Though it sounds illogical, it cannot be proven wrong. For there is no proof of that which is, there is no proof of that which isn't. When right is wrong and wrong is right, neither exist. We have two hands, on one hand are all the people which believe in God, on the other hand we have all the people who don't believe in God. Both hands look the same, but they aren't. Place your hands together, and the logic behind basic mathematics will say: negative wins and the result is that God does not exist. Do the same for existence and the results will be the same. We live in a world more hollow than our hearts and minds. We worship an empty book, for every page is blank with contradiction after contradiction. When all is said and done, evil governs evil.

and others are wrong in their interpretation of the Bible, especially other Christians who don't belong in your belief-system, like the Catholics and other mainline Protestants, like the Anglicans?

since all of you claim you're following the Bible, who among you are right?

Eskimo: "If I did not know about God and sin, would I go to hell?"
Priest: "No, not if you did not know."
Eskimo: "Then why the hell did you tell me?"

Also what is 'speaking in tongues?" Some say that is speaking to others in their language about God,when you acutally do not know that lanquage. (Gift of the Holy Spirit)
Some say that if no one understand what you say that that is not speaking in tongues.
Please give Bible Scripture to support what your answer is. I often hear people saying things in churches that are "praying in the spirit"or "speaking in tongues" on religious TV shows and no one interprets it. So how do I know that is real?

If a human is born, we don't assume divine intervention. We assume two people had sex. If a flower grows, we don't assume some magical person poofed it into existence. We know that a seed was likely planted, watered, and sunned. In other words, when something physical happens, we look for a physical explanation and we usually find one. Why is it that for things we haven't got an explanation for yet, people think it is perfectly logical to assume some invisible person who we have never seen or heard from did it?

The Fundamental error of modern christianity is the interpretation that Jesus of Nazareth is a GRAND EXCEPTION, who cannot be imitated, instead of a GRAND EXAMPLE, who can and should be imitated. Any thoughts?
