Before you all go ballistic, I've heard that's how it was in the beginning years of the U.S. The reasoning was that property owners had worked hard and presumably were thrifty, money conscious, and would want the national spending...

murderistic Dragon - unfortunatly that was the general sentiment back then, wether or not they actually came out and said it, we all know that was the main reason. They were afraid that people of lesser intelligence (which to them meant women, blacks and the poor) would...

For many years I have been suffering from sleep paralysis... not knowing what it was. Basically, sleep paralysis is a sleep disorder where you wake up when your body is still asleep - kind of like the opposite of sleep...

murderistic You could give "at least" excuses to either side. Killing is killing. Enemy soldiers are not the root of the problem in todays world, just as innocent civilians are not the root of the problem in todays world. Ideology is the issue and that's what needs to be...

Right from our childhood our parents and teachers have taught us to visit and pray to God in the places of worship like churches, temples, mosques,synagogues and monastries.People go there religiously, pray, listen to sermons...

murderistic I think that the number of sects and denominations within Christianity alone should tell us that we can't simply take what religious leaders say at face value. I was raised in a Protestant church (United Church of Christ). I was raised to believe in infant...

murderistic But you also shouldn't forget that while the Bible is inspired by God, Jesus Himself is the Word of God. The Koran is a bit different because in Islam it is the word of God directly from God. We can't really compare the two.

murderistic My point is not that Christianity is nonsense, but it is a FAITH, not a science. If you could prove it, faith wouldn't be necesssary. Hebrews 11:1 - Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things unseen. Besides, we should believe in...

murderistic Thank you for this! I haven't done much research on the early church other than what is in Acts (OK, I took a class about the history of the church but I don't remember much from that haha), but it is clear that early Christians took the teachings of Jesus...

In natural selection, it is genes that enable their owners to leave more surviving progeny that become more common. The idea that natural selection can favor groups, instead of acting directly on individuals, is highly...

murderistic No, it doesn't mean that, and I find your comment a bit offensive. It should have been phrased in a question, rather than you telling me what I must believe. But I'll ignore that. We have the undeniable knowledge for human evolution. Humans evolved from...

murderistic Oh, and a further note, although we are a denomination we do not discriminate against other denominations. Because of our value of community we partner with churches of other denominations in the community. We even have occasional joint services!

murderistic As I said, there has to be some kind of balance between the two (seeking your own truth about God and seeking truth through scripture). If we rely too much on scripture, we ignore the presence of God and the reality of God working today. If we rely too much on...

murderistic Bird, your point of view is just that: your own. And it is also a speculation. You yourself are speculating that God can only have one form, but scriptures tell us otherwise. You seem so adament on converting others to believe as you do, but I honestly don't...

murderistic Why do you keep using the term evil? Our sins may be evil, but that doesn't make us evil. Everyone commits evil acts, even someone as wonderful as Mother Teresa or Francis of Asisi would tell you that. But that doesn't make us evil. Christianity doesn't teach...

murderistic "God as a trinity is nothing but stories. You say there is one God and in the next you say He is a trinity. Can't have these things everyway." So why bother asking if you find the Christian faith to be made-up stories? You can have all of these things. They...

murderistic The concept of the trinity and Jesus as the word of God IS very confusing. It takes a lot of meditation to truly grasp what that means. But there is one thing that is undeniable: there is only one God. 2 Timothy 3:14-17 But as for you, continue in what...
