A lot of fundies seem to prefer the "Angry Jesus" - the guy who's tossing money changers out of the temple or coming back with flames of glory.

Some prefer the baby Jesus - tender and mild while others like the Mel Gibson Gorefest Savior.

Of all the Jesii, who's your favorite and why?

He has family problems and his family is not going to pay for his college. He's really poor and the same age as me. He said he'll go wherever I go..when we're 18
I know it's bad if a boyfriend lives with you before marriage but for some reason I feel kind of bad if a friend who is a guy lives with me even though we're not getting married. Like is it a sin or what?
My friends always live together and they seem fine but they're girls.

This is to believers who call themselves Christian but are for the death penalty Hagee (Cornerstone Church) (Od Testsament) Thou shall Not kill, New Testament Thou shall not kill, You self appoointed judge who have claimed "grace doesnt save one from the death penalty" and then you say "press the button whew and lets see whether they go up or down with that stupid porky self assuring laugh of yours.. ..wee up or down..thats a persons soul not a porky pig pez dispenser. Christ said "Forgive them fatherl, for they know not what they do. Oh and on another note Hagee you dojnt wrtie books about Armagedon nand the end times, only the lion of the tribe of judah knows such things. You dont gang up on Muslims and through every sct into one category and then "weep" about how many United States Soldiers are getting killed every days. Are not your telelcasts global? Your services are more like a mockingly-religious amusement than any kind of serious prayer service. "

Surely the prophets and holy men no matter how good they were interpretated and put their own spin on the words they wrote.

If evolution is true why do so many people have a need to worship something? If evolution is true why do we need any rules? If we evolved then we should not even care to do right or wrong. Do you really think our minds evolved too! Can you not see that if you keep copying something that it will not be as good as the first thing that was copied from. If everything breaks or dies it then seems that it would be imposibble for anything to just keep getting better. Everyone even knows that you need an original thing in the first place before you can even copy something. This original thing must have something or someone that created it. Things just do not come from nothing.

And here, I'm talking the careful selection of animals to produce different strains and breeds, rather than anything in the Eugenics line...

I'm really just curious how creationists interpret the effects, here. We're historically aware that say, dogs came from a common stock, but by careful selection of mates we've managed to end up with animals as diverse as the Chihuahua and the St Bernard. We're still seeing new breeds of domestic cat and dog being developed even today.

How do you guys interpret this? Is this evidence that to radically change the appearance of a species requires a hand on the wheel (ourselves in this case), or did God include dachshund genes in wolves? Or is this an example of evolution at work, albeit one distorted and accelerated by human intervention?

Suppose that a man has commitment issues due to his father leaving the family for another woman when he was very young. The issues grew deeper when his father killed the woman and then himself, leaving the man without a father.

Keep in mind that this man is very afraid of taking risks, but he decides at the age of 26 to buy his girlfriend of 5 1/2 years an engagement ring. He is scared, but decides to propose. After he does, he freaks out and breaks up with her.

My question is this, did God give him those doubts? Or did the devil play off of his insecurity and put doubts in his mind? I know no one knows the exact answer, I would just like some opinions. Thanks a lot :)

I recently gave this whole religion thing a lot of thought and I've decided to settle this for myself.

We can agree on a few points here...
1. You're the same religion that your family is. (For the most part.)
2. You were taught what to believe.
3. Your church tells you what to believe.
4. The bible (if you're christian) sets limits on your opinions.
5. You were brought up on (some side of the world) so your religion is that of which is dominant in your country/area/city/etc,

If you can agree to these questions, then you have fallen under a spell. You have given up your right to believe in what you truely want. You were told as a child what to believe, so like all kids, you believed your elders and held onto those beliefs. I personally think it's wrong to teach something as personal as religion. What do you think? Shouldn't people have the CHOICE to DISCOVER what religion they want? I don't think we should be spoon fed what to think and believe. It just seems wrong to me...

do you believe that all atheists and non-christians who have been exposed to christianity at least once in their life, know that it is the one true path, but fail to admit it?

I've been agnostic and atheist all of my life.

But what if I'm starting to be convinced that their is indeed a God? HOW can I know which religion (if any of them) is closest to the truth?

Please, if your answer is "faith" tell me HOW I would know where to put that faith.

Thanks in advance.

Are the rules of Old Testament applicable any more, or did Jesus remove the need for those rules by dieing for our sins and saving us all?
