    Need Biblical References, Fast

    Edit. Never mind. I'm sorry, I've had second thoughts about posting this. I've come perilously close to betraying the confidence of a friend.

    A Question from Your Friendly Neighborhood Atheist

    Hi y'all. Protinus said I could come here and ask a question. Before I do, please understand that this is not any kind of attempt at mockery or EoG debate. I really am curious about this. Could someone please explain the concept of filoque? What I've read on-line makes absolutely no sense...

    Substitutions

    Since I quit drinking, I've found that I'm substituting other beverages. I was a beer drinker and I find that I still MUST have something carbonated in the evenings. Caffiene free, sugar free Fresca is my new friend. I drink about two-liters a night. :eek: I'm also drinking at least two cups...

    How do you treat things that aren't yours?

    There are a couple of men that I work with that I simply do not understand. They are both in their mid-30s, very professional, extremely proficient in their work and generally all around nice guys. Except for one thing. Many people where I work do not live here and are staying in hotels and...

    An atheist sticks her nose in

    Hello. I see that these forums are open now for non-believers I thought I'd stick my toe in and test the waters. This is my story. I drank socially for most of my adult life and never really had a problem with it. Until... In 2003, I started drinking every night. A few beers. Maybe a couple...

    The Veil

    Hi all, I rarely post or visit here, but every time I do, I see how much I'm missing. On to the OP... I know very little about Islam other than a vague understanding of the Five Pillars and a little bit about the Prophet's life. Being an American woman, I've always thought of the veil as a...

    Did I stick my foot in my mouth?

    In a recent correspondence, I made the statement that Hindus believe that all paths lead to God. Did I insert my foot in my mouth and chew vigorously all the way to the kneecap?

    Walking in another's shoes.

    Here is an edited version of a thread I started on a certain infidel board. No, I didn't edit cursing. CF did it for me. :clap:Besides, I view cussing as an art form. Anyway: Try for a few moments to put yourself in New Orleans. Take your current home and your current community and imagine...

    What is up with all the cut and paste plagarism today?

    Is it something in the air? I mean for all forgotten god's sakes what to these folks think they are accomplishing? More important, how should we respond? Not at all?

    OK..I admit..I've been drinking...

    Do you believe that atheists are evil?

    I heard it again today in passing. A conversation I overhead as I was walking to my car after work. "Atheists are just evil," said a woman about my age to the nodding agreement of her companions. As I passed by, another younger woman said, "Atheists are the reason there's so much trouble in the...

    How do you know God's will for you?

    In a thread in GA there was quite a discussion regarding a personal relationship with Jesus and knowing God's will. I'd like to understand how you as a Christian hear God or know that the Holy Spirit is working in you or know God's will for your life. I hope this makes sense. I'm a little...
