As my Faith grows, I seem to find that when I ask questions about earthly things or other people, the answer seems to be are you ready to go or are you trying to stay?...Am I loving others as I want to be loved?... regardless of what I see going on around me, I know there is a loving reason that I cannot see...His plan...His time...Not mine...

I find the 'defying God' stories nonsensical because I can't see how anyone would do something so self-destructive, especially on so many occasions. If God was asked me to do something and my belief wasn't even an issue, how intelligent would I be to go off and do my own thing? Am I to believe so many people are so insane?

"The complexity and order we observe is always the result of a designer. A watch requires a watchmaker, a computer requires an engineer. The universe and life are far more complex and ordered than these things so they require a Supreme Designer, who we call God."

I'm not asking whether I am right or wrong, rather what is the flaw in this argument?

For someone to believe in YEC, you have to think of the MASSIVE amount of misinformation that is being put out. Geological records being lied about, Biological differences (and more importantly similarities) being obfuscated, Geneticists not only lying, but completely inventing an entire discipline. We would have to have lied about how Atom's decay over long periods of time to establish the date of fossils. If that were true, our basic understanding of the Atom is completely wrong, and the Atomic bombing of Hiroshima/Nagasaki (requiring MASSIVE amount of knowledge about atomic structure) likely would have had to been faked.

Thousands of scientific organizations, with almost no remaining dissent, would have to get every member (literally millions of people) in dozens of different cultures and languages to lie on paper and in person over and over.

Just how much more is required for someone to label a person who believes in obfuscation on that massive a scale, a Conspiracy Theorist?

From what I know, Yaweh is the holiest name but the name "Yaweh" has only two syllables and from what I heard the real name has four syllables.

Come on guys, what's up? I have an aresenal of Catholic answers to common objections ready to cut & paste, and nobody is bashing us. What am I going to do if I can't cut & paste and page full of stuff? Am I doomed to just being nice, and giving hugs, and saying Merry Christmas? Where's CJ when you need him?

Man, crusading just ain't what it used to be.

Oh well,

“God is love.”—1 John 4:16
Saul was a very religious man. He belonged to a religious group called the Pharisees.
Important FACT : They had God’s Word, but they paid more attention to the teachings of some of their own leaders. Saul had grown up as a Pharisee. All his life he had been taught that they were right. He looked to these men for his example. So he copied them. Saul wanted to get rid of the rest of Jesus’ disciples. Acts 9:1-22.
Saul is know known as apostle Paul. There are many people today who are like Saul. They can change, but it is not easy.

"The punishments we observe are always the result of a higher authority. When a criminal is sentenced to prison, it is because of the Court's authority, when a child is grounded, it is because of the parent's authority. Cancer is far worse than these punishments and so it must be from a Supreme Authority, we call this Law-maker God."

I'm not asking whether I am right or wrong, rather what is the flaw in this argument?

What books do you find most inspiring to the Pagan Path? What about this book moves you? I'm not talking about most Pagan books, here. Just the ones you would call "Pagan Inspirational Literature" My personal favorite is The Golden Donkey (which isn't actually the title, but Yahoo is stupid, and censors certain words arbitrarily -- but the book is about a guy who gets turned into a donkey, and finally breaks down and turns to Isis for help. It is an inspiring story of hardship and faith from a Pagan perspective.)

My husband is in rehab for about a month now, we've been separated for about 5 months. I kicked him out because he hit my sister and pushed me around when he was drunk.

During the separation he has smoked crack, done other drugs, spent our money on partying, hit me, threw his wedding ring at my head (after he came back from rehab the first time, slit his wrists in front of mewhich he was there for about 3 weeks), and also told me that the 2 regrets in life are me and our daughter (who is 4). He also has a warrant for DV, and antoher for traffic tickets.

I know you are prolly thinking, "Divorce him already, how stupid are you!" BUT i still have feelings for him, like i feel sorry for him. i also feel SOO GUILTY because of my daughter.

He says he is "changing". However I dont think someone can change that quick. The rehab he is in is a Christian one, and they don't do any steps or allow medication for depression (which he was on).

Do people like this change?? is there Hope??

Word games, kind of childish isn't it? A reflection reveals a lot about existence. I love those who live under the philosophy, that life is about survival of the fittest, if that were true then your lives would be better than mine. I know for a fact, you are surrounded by one of two things, corruption or vanity. What's that? No such thing as sin / moral? (claps) Excellent. You are perfect. Life revolves around you, don't mind us we're just puppets. We exist to make you happy every way we can. We're here to amuse you. "You can walk complete circles around us all."

Want to know a secret? A sinner's paradise is the devil's playground, and in this playground no one gets out alive. You think you know? The joke's on you. Go on, keep on pretending the strings aren't being pulled from above or beyond. That's right my marionette, never mind us. We are the playthings.

...To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world
unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them;
and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation...

There was this guy speaking at a college Christian rally. He is a Christian. He said:
"The UN reports that 10 million people starve to death every day. The said thing is most of you barely give a sh&%. The even sadder thing is, most of you care more than I just said that dirty word than you do about the ten million people that died today."
I thought that was actually a pretty cool point. Do you object to the method of delivery? Or do you think it was necessary to shock to show them that a breach of manners/legalism is more shocking than human suffering?

Randy Carpenter shows: Luk 4:23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: And the people called him the carpenter, but, Jesus said he was a prophet among his own kin, in his own country, and in his own house,
Was he a physician or a carpenter ?
