Again... "moral Republican" is an oxymoron... just ask Abramoff... \nBush is just looking for excuses to stir the pot in middle east so his oil stocks will go up... he's doing a very good job...

Gosh! It has nothing to do with that. This is the third time someone has asked that question. Just pray for Goodness sake! Pray naked if you want to, just as long as your sincere in your heart just pray, standing, sitting, hats on or off, it doesn't matter! I prayed while I was sitting on the toilet once and God still answered the pray. He isn't worried about all of our crazy thinking! And I am a christian, but I'm frustrated with all of this religious stuff! No wonder people don't want to come to church, they think the church is CONFUSED!

One of our biggest problems--and the fastest way of turning others off to faith--is that so many of us believers think our way is the only way to approach God.  We don't allow for differences in the body of believers.  Jesus had dinner with tax collecors, allowed a prostitute to anoint him, and had fellowship with the woman at the well.  In fact, many of the most powerful moments in his ministry involved his encounters with folk who scandalized the establishment.  \n\nWho are we to try to ban someone just because he has a few ideas different than ours if Jesus refused to do that?\n\nPS for David:  I hope your sabbath was all you hoped for.  Blessings!

Just pray for them to see their ways. They will keep talking until it happens to them or they realize that hurts not only the people they are talking about but it also hurts them because no one will believe them or confide anything in them.

was this sort of on, sort of not on, the news tonight?  All I saw was them talking about an "incident" and not saying what it was.  \n\nWhat you describe is a horrific crime and brings shame on those men's families, combrades, country, and flag.   But the answer to the question is that everyone is capable of their very own acts of evil.  \n\nThe question here may be partly one of respect.   If you think you're part of the best nation on earth, what is everyone else?   If you can dehumanise the "others", regarding them as less than you, you can justify anything. That is not a uniquely American problem - aggressor nations very often commit horrible violations, with attitudes like that never far away from the action.\n\nBut it's also about self-respect.   If that were you doing that, could you look yourself in the eye afterwards?   Of course not.   So how can they?   People who have pride in their good qualities are less likely to descend to such horrible depths.\n\nNot much of an answer, more of just a train of thought.   Not much shocks me these days, but that does.   If I believed in hell, I reckon I would believe in it for that.

sit them down and be honest make sure you are alone and use a sincere tone just look them in the eyes and tell them you cant help hurting them because everything has its own consequences. The more you think or plan something the worse consequence would happen. look out for yourself but just be soft and considerate to that persons reactions and then make any further moves.

keep your mind active and try to stay away from stuff that might remind you of them. Go out on dates with new people, hang with your friends. it's really just self-control of your mind.

Check the link for the response I got a "Best Answer" for to this mom whose kid was asking similar questions.\n\nJust think of the most holiest people you can think of.  Pope John Paul was shot; Job of the Old Testament had his whole livelyhood taken from him as well as given diseases.  Some people will fall into their grief and give up because they think God does not care.  BUT he does.\n\nI know it's a hard fact to face, but God does not want these bad things to happen.  The devil has ways to make our minds switch. I tell you one think God does like, a seeking mind.  You may continue to ask these questions and fall from grace (which I ultimately hope you don't) but God will still love you.  \n\nContinue asking these questions.  They will only make you a stronger person.

What?  Define religious fanatics, please.  Give me a break.  We have people in this country that suicide bomb abortion clinics and sniper abortion doctors.  We have people here that kill a bunch of finance company employees and then shoot themselves.\n\nAre we going to nuke them?  Put the nukes where they belong...on the shelf.  We have treaties and moral obligations to work through these things.\n\nIf you want a radioactive nuke site as a parking lot in the middle east, then start doing your own work on your little bomb.  I could guarantee you would be educationally incapable.\n\nFurther, your question is one of the most irresponsible that I have read in a long time.  \n\nRead a book or something.  It will help you understand what Einstein meant when he said "man wasn't ready for the splitting the atom".\n\nTake Care

Whit, the mind is a battleground, and it is a constant one at that.  The enemy has studied us inside and out, and is constantly targeting areas that he perceives as being our weaknesses.  Know that if you weren't seeking the truth, if you weren't following JESUS CHRIST, then the enemy would have no reason for tempting you with these thoughts.\nInstead of worrying, take it to the foot of the cross and as JESUS to apply HIS blood to it.  As I said, the enemy isn't going to divide his own house, and if you were doing what he wanted you to do he wouldn't even bother you with these worries...he doesn't want anyone to have a relationship with JESUS, so if a person doesn't know JESUS, the enemy is not going to do anything to make that person come to an enlightenment.  In otherwords, I would be more concerned if the enemy wasn't trying to mess with my mind...\n\nGOD BLESS YOU and I will be praying for you!

I know that sucks. But you have to look at anyone's behavior from inside their shoes.\n\nPeople who do this honestly believe that if you do not convert to their point of view, you are going to suffer in the afterlife, or have less than others, or be eternally destroyed while others continue on, etc.\n\nTherefore, it really is the most loving thing to do from their perspective. From inside their worldview, you are missing 2 hours of sleep but will possibly, by accepting what they honestly see as the truth, escape an eternity burning in a pit of flames, or life on a lower heaven, etc.\n\nIt sucks, but there it is. The logical consequence of their theology is that it would be selfish of them to NOT do the things they do. \n\nNothing except changing their theology will end that conviction...and changing their theology can only be achieved by giving them more respect than you feel they are giving you and then talking to them. And it will rarely work.\n\n~ Lib

They talk about 12-12-12 so much because Y2K never happened and they need a new date to freak on. People have been calling for the apocalypse to happen tomorrow ever since "Jesus" died.

People who feel that way are responsible for all kinds of atrocities, because your religion devalues life.  There are even people who think a nuclear holocaust would be a good thing, for the same reason.  It's absolutely nuts, and I would urge you to seek professional help before you start killing people.

:}\nFor Christians this is truly a time to contemplate the unbelievable gift\nthe great sacrifice the creator of the universe made on our behalf\nwhether we do it through secret fast or reading scripture prayer attending passion week events or just by meditating on our salvation and its cost.
