There's not enough proof out there for me to believe in god. I was raised as a Pentecostal. I've seen a lot of things that are supposedly the works of god, like speaking in tongues. The holy ghost comes over you and you start talking gibberish (for those of you that don’t know what it is). I think speaking in tongues happens through the power of suggestion. I've never seen him or felt a presence. Sorry if this offends anyone, but to me the bible is just a book. Even if I cared about the bible, I have no way of knowing who really wrote the books or what their intentions were. I don't think I could have blind faith either. If I don’t believe in god because there’s no proof, would he send me to hell if he does exist.

Any question, criticism or debate are met with condescending comments and insults. Isn't this very type of closed-minded behavior these people claim to hate?

The hypocrisy in this area of discussion is amazing to me.

When evidence or criticism that seems to contradict the Evolutionary Theory is introduced it is offhandedly thrown out without even being seriously consdiered. What is up with that?

This Scripture is found at 1 Corinthians 11:3.

"But I want YOU to know that the head of every man is the Christ; in turn the head of a woman is the man; in turn the head of the Christ is God."

So, the arrangement goes like this:
woman > man > Christ > God

My question is to those who believe Jesus is God. How would this arrangement be possible if Jesus is God? If Jesus is God, he wouldn't have to submit to ANYONE because he would be God and God is never submissive to anyone. How do you guys explain this one?

My friend died in a car accident a few years ago. We went to the same church since I've known him, which was for several years. It was such a shock when I found out about him. His funeral was painful; seeing his parents with such grief was almost unbearable. He was only 16 years old.

One night, I had a dream about him. I was crying and asked him how he was. "I thought you were dead," I said. He seemed to be bathed in this ethereal light, smiles abundant from him. He told me he was okay and not to worry about him.

I told a church member about this at a gathering after his funeral. He encouraged me to tell his mother. I did, and she began crying. She hugged me and thanked me a lot. I never had a dream about him again.

What do you all think? Was I just imagining things or was a higher power at work?

I think Mr. Smith must have had a secret to have attracted so many women. I think it would be so fun to be with him and all my girlfriends. Maybe I should have been born in another time? Is there some sort of LDS way that I can still get married to him?

Isn't it interesting that Hollywood can make movies that are clean and fun and still make money?

Take Pirates of the Carribean 1, 2, &3, Superman, Spiderman 1, 2, & 3, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. None of these movies had excessive violence, gore, sex, or bad language. You can take your seven year old to see it and not have to worry about explaining the "birds and the bees" to him afterwards. The whole family has fun, and Hollywood made a ton of money, seeing as how each of the films mentioned were blockbuster, smash hits.

Wouldn't it be nice if they kept making movies like this?

Should I call my Church and ask them to preform an exorcism on me to remove the devil? Or should I continue my everyday life as a Christan, accept myself for who I am, and just be the best person I can be?

Only 13-15% of the human brain is used in our life time, and it's been that way for over 2000 years. All we can do with that % are the physical abilitys we have today.

Extremists claim they are doing everything in the name of God. Ok, so why do they only take parts of what they are told and ignore the other half, like the rules FOR taking those actions? What do you think? Who is wrong here? I think they are and should be ratted out by the people around them. I know I would.

"“Fight in the way of Allah against those who fight against you, but begin not hostilities. Lo! Allah loves not aggressors.” Al-Qur’an 2:190"

God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Quran, 60:8)

{...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.} Narrated in Saheeh Muslim, #1731, and Al-Tirmizi, #1408

{The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed. This means killing and injuring. Narrated in Saheeh Muslim, #1678, and Saheeh Al-Bukhari, #6533.
