Acts 15:16 After these things I will return, And I will build again the tabernacle of David, which is fallen; And I will build again the ruins thereof, And I will set it up
What is so special about the Tabernacle of David that God restores it to the Church?

I belong to a church in England(it's also a major Anglican sect) called "The Church Of England" it considers itself to be Protestant and Catholic in ideology, do you think I could bend the rules a bit and ignore the Catholic rules as a whole and not consider myself "Part-Catholic"

I'm wiccan and i'm a good person;Nothing i do hurts anyone because i live by the rede. Okay, so the bible says that witchcraft is wrong but it also says masterbation,eating red meat and homosexuality are wrong(the last one being prejudice at it's finest). Why is witchcraft held to be so much worse? Its not just with pagan religions either its with mostly anyone who dosen't worship jesus...i know because i was protestant for 15 freaking years and i began to realize who i really was and that each little part of the christian umbrella (catholic,protestant,lutheran,baptist etc.)feels that they are more worthy than even the other christian religions!
why is this?
I just want insight not a flood of pro-christian answers
your yelling at me won't make me anyless of who i am.

blessed be!

Atheists argue that they dont appreciate having christian morality, laws, beliefs being forced upon them via the law of the land. The only commandment i find to be instituted in our government is that of not committing murder, which i hope everyone agrees with. and i suppose the commandment thou shall not bear false testimony is in it also, theres only penalty for that when under oath or when dealing with law authorities. so which of the Christian beliefs or laws or what have you, are you concerned about?

Have you noticed in your highschool (I don't know if it only exists in Ontario highschools), that administration, and almost the entire student body and faculty are afraid to use the phrase "Merry Christmas". I am agnostic, but I used to be Christian so I will always be biased, but a few friends have mentioned the same observances. I'm not rascist or anything such, but I don't understand why everyone is so willing to say "Happy Hanukkah" or "Happy Kwanzaa", and so afraid to also say "Merry Christmas"

Which category does the majority of Muslims, Christians, and Jews fall into, and what do you think is the explanation for this interesting phenomena?

Lets say you meet somebody and you fall in love with them like never before. You are sure you won't feel this strongly about anybody else ever. You soon find out they are a fundamentalist christian and they think you are going to burn in hell. (but god is loving.) This person is willing to stay with you but they constantly bring up religion after they find out you are an atheist. Do you try to reason with them? Do you convert? Do you pretend to convert? Do you just go on with the relationship the way it is? Or do you run for the hills?

It was a conversation I overheard...I imagine that many Atheists must be regretful for not believing in God when they get closer to death and that's one of the reasons they adopt religion as they get older. What are your thoughts?

What are the sources of the following? The Great Commandment, the "Golden" rule, and the passage where Jesus told his followers not to pray on street corners but in private.

You are just trusting what it says. Unless God spoke to you anmd told you in person that they are real (I'd like to see that). The bible we read is far from the original... how accurate can it be?

It seems really silly to me that christians and the church are calling to boycott the Golden Compass Movie. I am an atheist, and don't really notice or care for that matter, if a movie has a religious theme or not. I enjoyed Narnia, and didn't notice that it had a christian theme.
I haven't seen the Golden Compass yet, but my question is this:
Why are christians more concerned with the Golden Compass depicting an evil church and souls in animal form, which is clearly FICTION, than with a movie that is also, clearly FICTION (narnia) that uses the story of Jesus? To me, Narnia could create more questioning in the mind of a child... they could associate how fictional the story of narnia is, and that the story of Jesus is similar in many ways, so it may be fictional as well?
Rather than a movie where EVERYTHING is fictional, just as any other movie?
