I'm just watching the BBC news and there's a special report on Palestinian Christians. Apparently now in Gaza they are terrified because Hamas, the radical Islamist group, is in power, and many Christians have received death threats.

What, if anything, do you think the worldwide Christian community should do to help?

This is a lyric in one of my favorite songs of all time. I don't know what it means though, do you? I hope it's nothing offensive.

"La illaha illa Allah"

Thanks.

Paganism remains a broad enough subject to entertain people, and I would like to be able to concentrate more on Pagan questions.

Creationists, explain evolution in your best words. Please do not inject any opinion into your explanation, state only what you know about it, regardless of whether or not you think it happened.

I'll admit, I'm not an overly religious person, but I am a Christian and I believe in God. I'm getting really sick and tired of people making Christmas lists with expensive gifts like iPods, video game systems, jewelry, etc. I do understand the significance of giving gifts during this holiday (the three wise men), but when did Christmas become more about gift giving and less about celebrating Jesus' birth and spending time with family? I do buy presents for certain people (usually small but meaningful ones) and of course for my kids, because they're still young and don't understand Christmas yet. What's up with full grown adults and teenagers who care about nothing more than getting gifts? Is anyone else tired of this?

Because of ancient stories, passed down from word of mouth and not written down until much, much later?

Because a person "just knows"? Because of popular opinion, or because it's the kind of thing that people want to hear?

Because the preaching of the cross is to them who do not believe, foolishness? But who wrote that? Someone who wanted to make sure that people who believed it had a defense against those who do not? To call them foolish for not believing something so ridiculous is NOT a good comeback!

Psychologically humans are capable of deeply and sincerely believing all sorts of things that aren't real...

What makes this belief different?

(Those who say the evidence for Christianity is sure, are deeply misinformed - plus Jesus says that it's foolish to look for evidence.)

with all the selective editing that went into the torah and the bible not to mention the inconsistancies in both why can't we just be good stay out of each other's business? i can't get all this insanity over what a 'god' says to do.

As an Atheist [Ex-Theist] myself I'm very interested about this thing that some people might've missed:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20071223104953AAQVG8z&r=w

The thing about DECIDING or REALIZING.

And please be sure that I'm not being rude to anyone really, since it's VERY difficult to be sincere to both Theists and Atheists all at the same time if you know what I mean...
I'm just a human like you.

The question is:
Could the source of problem that people are rude to each other in R&S is because they think they REALIZED instead of they DECIDED for themselves?

Just a rambling you can skip:
Surely, I believe that Gods in the bibles are imaginary because of the contradictions and the idea of almighty and benevolent being is impossible but there are just so many unexplainable things in life and there could be other powers which is more complicated than 'God'...We have to keep our minds open, no? =]

Now I don't belive in God, but I always wondered why Christians always hate the therory of evoloution, and dont achnowledge its existence. What I mean is that i don't get how evoulotuion clashes with religous views......is it possible that god invented evolution? why is it so heated lol
