ADAM & EVE were not warned. MOSES was not told even when he got the commandments. ABRAHAM was not told even when SODOM & GOMORRAH were destroyed. NOAH was not told even before the flood.

Suppose a Christian commits adultery with another Christian. The one gets divorced then marries the "other."
How do you suppose God sees this?
Would divorcing the second be an option, or should they stay with it?

I've recently moved into a very 'religious' area. That religion of course being the only one in America where they're allowed to force it down your throat , deny you rights, etc if you don't believe in it: Christianity.
Well I swear to crap if I see one more moronic "Keep Christ in Christmas" or "Jesus is the reason for the season" sign or bumper sticker I'm going to smack someone.
Seriously, everytime I see this I vomit a little.

Are Christians really that ignorant and arrogant or are they just liars? Don't they know that Christmas is actually the result of Christians hijacking the pagan holiday in an effort to convert them? lol
I'm actually afraid of someone sending me a stupid card or saying something like this to my face, because I know I'll go off.

Does anyone have anything simple, concise, and polite that I can have prepared to say so that I don't say what I really want to say? (Which is way too long and vulgar for this website let alone to say to someone in person. )

I posted this along with an answer to a question recently, but by the time I put it up, someone had already reported you. As much as I disagree with your beliefs [and your tactics] it sucks that you're not free to say what you want without getting booted. I'm no one to judge you, I'm just sayin:

It's easy to copy and paste, isn't it? Gee, I wonder why all of your answers are private. If you're going to continually mock what people love and cherish deep within their hearts, can you please be man (or woman) enough to accept e-mails and back it up? My questions and answers are open for all to see. Feel free to read them... to judge me... to agree or disagree... then e-mail me with questions or comments or statements or even angry responses, and we'll talk about it. Why? Becuase I'm open to suggestion... I'm open to discussion... I don't get on here, spout off what I believe to be true, and then hide away marveling at how right I am, unable to be contacted by anyone who may disagree

At least according to the bible or whatnot.

So, in the beginning there was nothing. That's what the bible says, at least that's how I read it (the first page, then became bored). "god" created everything out of nothing. But there was nothing in the beginning. How can that be ? Is "god" an alien outcast and are we the results of experiments of a deluded madman ? Is "god" now something, or nothing ?

Provided she exists, that is.

Why are people that are the "Top Contributers" in Religion and Faith not even religous?! I mean, if your an atheist and you don't care, stop telling people! It seems to me that you are just seeking attention. By being an atheist, your trying so hard to push yourself away from GOD, when your trying that hard, you could just as easily believe in HIM.

Why? What's the point?

I'm a Christian and I want to know why atheist have to make a big deal and tell everyone they are...

Being a Christian, I have heard people say many times that man wrote the Bible and not God. The truth is that they are right. Man did write the Bible. Meaning, he put pen to paper, and that is all. Think of it like this. Let's say an executive is in his office and wishes to write a letter to a company. Instead of writing it himself, he calls in his secretary and asks her to jot done what he says. He dictates while she writes. Now, what she writes are not her words. They come from the executive and the executive alone. All she is doing is putting pen to paper. This is the same thing that happened with God and man. God spoke...man wrote. It is as simple as that.

I will not get into a long discussion about why God wrote the Bible and not man, but I will give one simple bit of evidence for you to think about. It is not much, but I believe it holds a lot of truth about who really wrote the Bible. Here is that bit of evidence:

Man cites his source: I have written several papers in college. One thing I have come to understand is that plagiarism is a crime. You cannot take someone else's work and make it your own. You must cite your source. When it comes to the Bible, the same thing applies. Here are a few examples:

•2 Timothy 3:16-17/ All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

In the verse above, the first few words sum all of it up when it says "All Scripture is God-breathed.” If you can read, you should be able to understand that this is where man is citing his source.

•1 Peter 1:20-21/ Above all, you must realize that no prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet’s own understanding, 21 or from human initiative. No, those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.

Once again, another verse where man cites his source. The one thing that is absolutely amazing is that the first verse is written by the Apostle Paul, and the second, Peter. These are two of the most known names in all of Christianity, aside from Christ. Why would these two men cite there source as God? Because they wanted no credit for writing the Bible. They wanted everyone to know that what they wrote came from God and God alone. God spoke…they wrote!

The Arctic is screaming," said Mark Serreze, senior scientist at the government's snow and ice data center in Boulder, Colo.

Just last year, two top scientists surprised their colleagues by projecting that the Arctic sea ice was melting so rapidly that it could disappear entirely by the summer of 2040.

This week, after reviewing his own new data, NASA climate scientist Jay Zwally said: "At this rate, the Arctic Ocean could be nearly ice-free at the end of summer by 2012

For me its the peaceful and security it brings and the chance to expand my knowledge and worshipping Allah.

The cons has to be the negative media coverage about Islam. Because really Islam is a peaceful religion and everything you see in the media with bombings here and there are done by waste fundamentalist of which i must add are in every religion.

so yeah what is the best thing about being a muslim?

This is directed at everybody ... atheists, christians, muslims, pagans etc. This is a neutral question okay, so just pretend for a moment that whatever you believe is right. And be honest.

When they finally are "converted" then how would you act? Would you shove their face in it and basically do the whole "I told you so" routine; or would you do nothing? Sometimes, answerers use Pascal's wager way too much and seem awfully smug about it.

It seems some people are definitely doing things out of saving face rather than finding out "the truth".
