I've heard it said that Buddhism is not a religion, it's a philosophy, and not necessarily in conflict with Christianity. I'm admittedly undecided on that but would love to hear your viewpoint. Welcome.

That YOLO information is interesting because it's along the lines with the same philosophy intimated by pop music for decades, "Do as ye will". The lure of deception that draws so many people is the promise of unbridled hedonism, that indulging in one's passions, as long as "it doesn't hurt...

I copied the link directly from youtube.

Paranormal skeptics abound!

Here I am trying to walk a fine line and you come along and push me over to one side!

I already have. Perhaps you weren't paying attention.

It's small wonder that there was a church in Kansas who thought it was their duty to show up at the funerals of fallen military with hateful signs. There are those people out there, tares sown among the wheat awaiting the harvest, who are filled with hatred and present a mock form of...

We're definitely of the same mind on this. One of the most irritatingly ignorant things I hear said is that Muslims have the same God as Christians and Jews. It simply glosses over way to many glaring contradictions and differences. Did God tell Muhammad to slaughter the Jews at Medina? Did...

At precisely 2:16 in this clip, do you see a ghost on the stage?

I don't think anyone disputes that the Easter Bunny is real and not fantasy. What people want to know is, does he also play golf? On a more serious note, the Bigfoot story is much more meaningful to my people than the immigrants to this continent to which it's relatively new. It's no more...

I disagree. Too many Christians suffer from depression and many take their own lives. I even know one who did when I was growing up. And suicide is a sin because it's the willful murder of one's self, but I don't believe it's an automatic ticket to hell. Culpability is reduced by the state...

I do think the passage, "I will visit the sins of the father upon the children to the 3rd and 4th generation of those who hate me" is often misquoted as a generational curse that one inherits. One only has to emphasize the last portion, "of those who hate me" to understand what God is saying...

As I pointed out with my first response, young earth creationism isn't the only viewpoint opposing the lies of evolution. I think to bury one's head in the Bible and ignore what science has to reveal about the history of this planet is just foolish. I do enjoy Hank Hennagraff's criticism's of...

I personally grew up with The Picture Bible, the entire Bible in comic book form. I read that over and over, until it fell apart, and then my parents bought me another and I read that one until it fell apart. I was hungry for the Word of God even as a little boy. Since then, because it's...

I'm having a hard time understanding this post. So you're saying that Jesus attacked the Pharisees for lack of a leather bound red letter KJV Bible? That's a disturbing argument from so many different angles. And speaking of angles, I have another one to offer. I think that people who are on...

There are many who want to point out the sins of Christianity to silence us; that we have no right to condemn the evils of Islam because of our past. I first disagree that everything we did was wrong and I'm particularly proud of the holy Crusades that forever preserved Western civilization...

And where does the Bible ever refer to being "slain in the Spirit"? In my experience, being touched by God increases one's awareness, spiritually and otherwise, not the opposite.
