When reform Judaism was started in the early 1800's it was perceived as leading people away from a Torah lifestyle.

Could it now be exactly the opposite? Taking people new to Judaism and gently leading them to a Torah lifestyle? Could Judaism survive without this stepping stone of Reform Judaism?

that i see for some people in this section.
many of my atheist friends have the initials 'am' in their names. but there are others like 'vt' and 'mm' and thus and so.
is there a directory for a poor little gayish angel to find out.
or is it one of those "if you have to ask you'll never know" kind of deals?

thanks!!!

E.g. Jesus, John the Baptist, Saint Paul, Saint James the Just. Is the information historically reliable? And are these materials available in English translation?

If you are anything BUT presbyterian(that's what I am, they must be different religions) please tell me how a typical services goes. What rituals, what text is read, is their discussion or just reading, are their any songs, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

do you think creationists will be the downfall of Christ-followers (i.e. Christianity)? Intelligent people who have not taken sides on religion or atheism see the idiocy of creationists and immediately they are turned off by the ill-informed ignorant creationist delusional stories. How the creationists reject how God really did things (that is obvious through science) and instead side with an established dogmatic misinterpretation of Genesis. Again, do you think creationists will be the downfall of Christianity? Also do you know if creationism is on the decline? And those who have opened their eyes from the creationist lies- do you think they become atheists more often or do they become theistic evolutionists?

I knwo that you don't have the bible or anything else telling you how to live so there's not exactly a rule against it for you but it just seems to me that atheists wouldn't want to anyway because they think Christians are delusional. I know I wouldn't want to marry someone who I couldn't respect so atheists are you against being in love with a Christian?

why do you have so many denominations and not be united like those Jesus- era -church.You may answer me that even though u r divided everything boils down to The Bible.But why?so may divisions including RC(mormons).Haven"y you heard that Mother mary apperared to some children.now according to the Bible a dead person cannot come.o.k.,but she appeared to some children for a longer time.Dont say thats a satan.then how would u know if Jesus appear to you whether its Jesus or Satan acting as Jesus.HOW?Again dont tell me u know it by The Holy spirit.if so,r u taking every decision thru the holy spirit.Couldn"t possibly be!I know that those who say they r true christian and could feel Jesus" presence daily has a mystery over their head about this concept.Am i right?If u a really religious why do u watch those violent showing tv,use that vulgar 666 numbered web,or any other of that sort.Can u Answer me? I KNOW NOBODY can give me a convincing answer.all you can do is scold me thru u r answer.

The Sixth Commandment says: Thou shalt not kill.
And yet there are multiple passages in the Bible which claims to be the teachings of God where the believer is told to go out and KILL people left and right. This includes their parents, brothers, sisters, wives, children and neighbors for various offenses against God. How can He have it both ways? Shall we kill according to His law or not kill according to His commandments? God is supposed to be kind and loving. It sounds like these teachings in the Bible are far from kind and loving, but rather dictatorial and cruel, not to mention violent. What's going on? How do we interpret "Thou shall not kill !" and "Each man strap a sword to his side. Go through the camp, each killing his brother, friend and neighbor." Exodus 32:27-28.

I am NOT a Pagan (I am against witchcraft) so I do NOT celebrate Christmas. It makes me mad that other Christians do and pretend like it has anything to do with our LORD and savior when in reality it was just Christianity adopting to Paganism and this is WRONG. But Christians either pretend like thats not true or they don't care because they are greedy and want gifts. It makes me mad. Does it make you mad too Pagans???
