How come artists can paint pictures of our savior and then defecate on it and have it displayed, but we can not paint a picture of our savior in the true light and have it displayed at the same place? Or why can we not have a float dedicated to him in parades because that is our belief but others can have their beliefs in the parade. I look at atheist's and their beliefs as their right, but are they are allowed to take away our rights. I don't have the time to write all of the things down where our rights are being taken away just to keep them happy.
I just don't see why can't they do what they want and let us do our thing with out going to court all of the time?

Can Christians show any evidence of this WITHOUT resorting to the circular argument 'The Bible says God exists and his word is true, thus the Bible is the word of God'.

Surely, all believers are brothers and sisters. So make peace between your brothers and sisters, and fear God that mercy may be shown to you.

Death or life, it cannot be both. Eternal torment would amount to eternal life, would it not?

Those "three" are rooted to existence of Abraham. Anyone can imagine IF science proved that
1. Abrahama does not exist, or
2. Abraham exist with different story with what the holy book tell about.

I would like to hear mostly from Christians but anyone is welcome to answer... I was raised Roman Catholic. I was very devout for many years but began to drift away about five years ago and found that 'The Craft of the Wise' is more along the lines of my belief system. When I was a seventh grader in a Catholic school I was told about the evils of witchcraft and to stay away from it! In my high school years, I picked up a book about witchcraft and realized that everything I had been told was untrue. Obviously, the teachers who told us to stay away did not know what they were talking about... I find that witchcraft really embraces my spiritualism and strengthens my connection with mother earth. Please share with us your own religious/spiritual background and what your educated feelings and thoughts are pertaining to this question... Thank you : )

I love to pray for other people, especially when I am at work and think about my co-workers. I do go home at times feeling weighed down in my heart because I love them all so much and want them all to find Jesus. Do you as Christians experience the same feelings also, when you are praying for others?

My fiance is Jewish, and despite our difference in religion (I'm Christian) we are deeply in love and plan to get married. Although we have agreed not to push each other's religion on each other, I am tempted to baptize him while he sleeps. Is this wrong? Would it even be recognized by God? I have already asked him if he would consider it willingly, but he refuses.

One of six Christian ministries under investigation by a Senate committee is rebuffing inquiries into its spending. These big churches have private planes with ministers living in monstrous mansions and not paying income tax.

I answered another question about Mormons believeing in the bible or not and I mentioned that the Book of Mormon was a parrallel of the bible and got a lot of flack. Then I asked "If it's not a parallel, then why does it follow the timeline of the bible and mention all the bible charicters at the parallel times, and why doesn't the bible mention any of the added Book of Mormon charicters?
- I have read it by the way and I don't require any explainations of the faith to prove it's right, just justify why the bible doesn't mention it. Thanks.

Yep. Zeus is ALSO featured as a character in some really old stories! He's depicted as a super-powered divine being with a big white beard who interacts with regular people as they fight for their culture in such classics as the Iliad and the Odyssey ... just like Yaweh of the Old Testament ... just like Krishna of the Hindu scriptures ... just like Gabriel in the Koran ... just like Ahura Mazda in the Zoroastrian scriptures ... just like Osiris in the Ancient Egyptian religion.

Yep, that's SOME proof you got there. Even if some sort of intelligent design were discovered in the universe, there would be no more reason to think it was the work of a biblical "God" than a Hindu or Native American one.

I asked a simple question the other day - why is there fog in the winter. I received several good answers...BUT...I also got one saying something to the effect that 'Why do you want to know this - it's in God's hands'

Am I supposed to take this to mean that we are to remain ignorant of the workings of the world?

I'm not much of a Christian anymore, but I certainly don't remember being taught anything like that...

I mean, even when you're doing things you don't really want to.

Many people have the attitude that they want to, and they are going to try.

But have you found a way to succeed doing this?

Could you die now, knowing you appreciated every moment, every detail of your life?

Was Martin Luther King Jr wrong or right?
