It is really sad that churches get massive buildings with state-of-the-art equipment. Have big fancy suits, clothes, jewelry, cars, mansions, etc. Yet there are homeless people everywhere, starving children, people that will die tomorrow if they don’t get a pill that costs $2, etc. Not that I have anything against any particular church or pastor. [...]
Will the Hadron Particle Collider Atom Smasher End the World in 2012?
September 22, 2008 by
People are really worried about the whole theory of the world ending on 2012 aren’t they? People are talking about it all the time, and I think as it gets closer there will be a lot of buzz about it. Especially the night before December 21, 2012! But just imagine how freaked out people would [...]
What Was Jesus Doing During His Teenage Young Adult Years?
September 22, 2008 by
The bible is almost completely silent on this issue. The only thing it really says is that he grew in favor among men, and increased in knowledge. That is it. So What Was Jesus Doing During His Young Teenage or Early Adult Years? No one can really present facts regarding this question, since that is all of [...]
What I Love About an Agnostic, Atheist, or Non-believer
September 22, 2008 by
Some have a really funny sense of humor. It even makes me laugh out loud sometimes at the funny jokes (not the ones where they insult people). Another reason I enjoy some of the agnostics/atheist is because it offers a different perspective on life. I believe in God, but I totally respect other people’s beliefs. [...]
Which is True: Creationism or Evolution? How Did Creation Start?
September 22, 2008 by
Creationism and Evolution seem to be popular things to debate about. The truth is, there is both evidence and great points for creationism, and there are great points and evidence for evolution. But that is as far as it can ever get. We are all just merely people trying to look at all of the [...]
How Can Good and Evil Really Exist, If Everything is Social or Genetic?
September 22, 2008 by
People often question the existence of good and evil. I recently read a question where someone was asking about the existence of good and evil. They said, “What about a person that was brainwashed to murder since they were a kid?” Here was my reply: That is true that many traits we possess are either [...]
Do You Think God Hates Religion and Segregation/Denominations?
September 22, 2008 by
There are so many different denominatins, interpretations, and belief systems out there! What do you think God thinks about it all? I often think the same thing. Why can’t we all just read the bible, and get along, and follow God’s commands, and love one another? Why do people always have to segregate themselves? I [...]
Pascal’s Wager: What Have We Got to Lose By Believing in God?
September 21, 2008 by
Is Pascal’s Wager True? Do We Have Nothing To Lose by Believing in God, and Everything to Gain? I completely agree with this argument 100%. This makes so much sense to me, and I agree with Pascal’s brilliance! People sometimes try to defy this reasoning, by saying that: Pascal’s wager if faulty, because it assumes [...]
If God Exists, What About Survival of the Fittest? Isn’t That Proof for Evolution?
September 21, 2008 by
If God Exists, Why Does Survival of the Fittest Seem to Be True? First I just want to point out that some people depicted in the bible were very weak, yet acheived enormous status, and even had miracles and this is true even today (and it wasn’t survival of the fittest). King David was certainly [...]

There are several different reasons why people fast, and there are also several different ways to fast. Why People Fast, or Participate in Fasting Rituals: Some main reasons why people fast: To give a sort of sacrifice to God.

My Family Just Lost Someone to Suicide, I Don’t Know if God Exists
September 21, 2008 by
I recently received a question about someone who had lost a family member to suicide. They were very confused, and some members were religious and followed an organized religion, while others were agnostic or unsure about God. Here was my reply to the question: First, I just want to say that I am very sorry [...]
Aren’t People Getting Meaner Today? Isn’t The World Turning Bad?
September 21, 2008 by
I agree with this 100%. I have thought about the decaying of our world quite often. We are advancing so fast in things like technology, etc., but at the same time, our moral compass has deteriorated badly. I sometimes get “down” about life and the way people behave. Many people are very cold, rude, selfish, and more. [...]
What Do You Think About a Church That Forbids or Bans the Bible?
September 21, 2008 by
People often ask today if God still talks to us. In my opinion, the anser is yes. He talks to us through His word. I think the bible is an enormously great book, not only because it increases our faith in God, but also because it teaches us so much wisdom about how to live [...]
Will Satan Torture Us in Hell? And Will We Live for Eternity?
September 21, 2008 by
First–about hell. According to the bible, God throws satan and the beast, etc. into the “lake of fire.” It isn’t an underground amusement park where satan can constantly torture souls. He didn’t choose to be there, God throws him in there. Probably the worst part about it is being completely void of love and the [...]
Why Do Non-Believers and Agnostics Turn Religious Fast After a Disaster?
September 21, 2008 by
Isn’t it funny (or sad) how people often live their lives without any regard to God, spirituality, or religion. However, the first big disaster or problems they fact, they can get really religious REALLY quickly! I think this happens because people have believed in the past, but get involved in their life. They have some [...]
