Since the flu virus can't "evolve" I see no reason why they need a yearly update.

Okay, so they're showing Harry Potter again on TV and this time I noticed there are commercials for a 30-song gospel collection…

So, I suppose a “flip side” question of my previous one (for Christian Harry Potter fans) is in order now.

Are you somehow offended on some level that you and/or your children are exposed to Christian marketing/recruitment in this manner when watching Harry Potter?

A more important question, particularly for ex-Christians, do you feel (HOWEVER SLIGHT) that you or your children become momentarily swayed towards Christianity (along with a doubt about your atheist convictions) when the commercial comes on?

Is it possible?
Luke 18:27
Jesus replied, "What is impossible with men is possible with God."

Those who practice it what routines do you have, and what would you suggest for a new learner? Anything informative and helpful, I do know some things, and find it very spiritual.

Should Pope Benedict condemn and delist Pope John XXIII as a heretic?

Remove Pope John's body from the Vatican and burn it?

Pope John XXXIII (Vatican II) was responsible for bringing the European Catholic Church part way into the real world of Galileo and the Space Age and translating Church services finally into the English language.

Or would it be easier to just ask Pope Benedict to resign (the same question which was put to President Bill Clinton in the White House)?

Portrait (He knew)
"He had a thousand ideas
You might have heard his name
He lived alone with his visions
Not looking for fortune and fame
Never said too much to speak of
He was off on another plane
The words that he said were a mystery
Nobody was sure he was sane

But he knew
He knew more than me and you
No one could see his view
Oh where was he going to?

He was in search of an answer
The nature of what we are
He was trying to do it a new way
He was bright as a star
But nobody understood him
"His numbers are not the way"
He was lost in the deepest enigma
That no ones unraveled today

But he tried
And before he could tell us he died
When he left us the people cried
"Oh where was he going to?"

He had a different idea
A glimpse of the master plan
He could see into the future
A true visionary man
But there's something he never told us
He died when he went away
If only he could have been with us
No telling what he might say"

Is this song about an actual person or is it more of an archetypal persona?
Has anybody who ever lived match that description?
Are there people like that alive today?
And what do you think it is that he knew?
Could anybody really claim to know some of the things implied?
And why couldn't he tell them what he knew?

I realize that anyone can be friends, but according to the scriptures(if you choose to believe) two people can not fellowship together unless they believe the same thing. How is that even possible? I have friends and we don't always agree on the same topics yet we remain friends.

I hear very many Christians call Jesus (pbuh), Lord Jesus Christ, but a verse in the bible says:


"None of those who call me 'Lord' will enter the kingdom of God, but only the one who does the will of my father in heaven"

Matthew 7:21

If you believe this about the Bible do you know of any specific examples or is that what you assume to be true?

There seems to be a lot more of my fellow atheists here than religious folk.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. - Mark 16:17,18.

If yes, can you handle deadly cobras witout getting harmed or drink antifreeze without getting harmed? Can you go to a hospital and put it out of business by healing people?

Footnote: I strongly recommend you do not try these things.

Of course all beliefs welcome to answer, but considering the nature of the question was looking for Christian responses in particular, please.

TY and lots of love all.
