I dropped my HTC in the bath for like 2 seconds cos I caught it. What are its chances of survival? :(

What would happen if we get down on our knees and pray to God in this way:

Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, we pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. We pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

We pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways.

Will anything happen? No. Of course not.

Can any believers explain why?

My Hyundai has just failed its MOT on emissions, front and rear brake pipes and I think he said roll bar. I have to have this car to start a new job tuesday so so a new car isn't an option! He couldn't give me a quote as he needs to do a proper emissions check but did say it will be expensive.

Does anyone know roughly how much this may cost me?

How come in Isicial 8 it says it's wrong to masterbate but ok to have sex with your family? That seems a little backward! How come no one follows those rules, since disobeying the bible gets you to hell?

A new study shows that 2 religious parents have a 50% chance of passing on their religion and if there is only 1 religious parent theres even less chance. If neither parents are religious then theres very little chance the child will become religious at all.

If that continues then in a few generations religion may well fizzle out. Thoughts?

I haven't been able to get much sleep in the past 3 days. Im not feeling at all tired and when i go to bed i just lie awake all night and manage to get between 2-4 hours sleep tops. I've had a cold for 5 days so Im not sure if thats to blame but I was wondering if its anything to worry about. Ive never had any trouble in the past.

I accepted a job a month ago with a bank and need checks doing. The start dat was the 1st of december but they say they haven't finished doing the checks on the 11 people starting yet. They can't give me an ETA. Does anyone know how long I can expect to wait?

I don't want to have to pay hundreds on a caterer so I'm hoping to do it myself (with help from friends!)

The wedding venue is 2 hours from the house so Im not too sure how to do it and still have fresh food on the day.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know!

Im sure many of you will chose not to believe it (thats called confirmation bias btw) But that doesnt make it any less true.

Thoughts? Will be interested to see if anyone acctually accepts this.

If not how much evidence do you need?

Just wondering how you would explain this. Is it possible to explain it with out resorting to "god is testing us"? Where in the bible did it say hed test us with things like this in that case?

I've been offered a samoyed male whos 6.

I was just wondering how much walking would he need a day? I don't have time to do 5 miles a day or anything and sometimes will only have time for a 30-60 min walk.

I know a lot about the breed other than that like how much they shed, their background, temprement, eating etc

Any advice welcome thank you!

Heres a short video which explains

Any thoughts? :)

Despite most theists hating us on Y/A it seems we're most hated in America too:

Hmm, never mind! Thought you might find it interesting though :P

The arc was 450 feet by 75 feet and had 3 stories. It had 7 of every clean animal and 2 of every unclean animal.

There are 6,000 species of reptiles, 9,000 birds, 1,000 amphibians, and 15,000 species of mammals and of course Noahs family. How on earth did they all fit??

So we can't control where we are born right? Some places have no way of knowing about the christian god, like people living in Africa or the tribes in South America.

The Bible clearly says non believers go to hell. It doesn't say "unless theyre good" just simply that theyre screwed.

So not only does god have these people born with out a chance, he also has them born in a place full of dangerous animals! Thats not fair!

For example, in South America you have some very large effective preditors that will eat people, also many parasites and highly venamous snakes and insects.

Seems a little cruel to me! Any ideas as to why? (apart from the obvious issue he has with not being real)

To test us? Thats hardly fair.

I know if I were to hand something to my dog that I knew he'd enjoy very much, he'd take it. I couldn't punish him for taking it if I'm the one that gave it to him!

Doesn't make any sense to me.

This is someone who can convert atheists into christians using scientific and psychological techniques and a form of hypnosis/brainwashing. He did this as an experiment to see just how easy it was to do. Nothing supernatural about it and he can explain exactly how everything works.

This is a full episode of the show Messiah but it's well worth the watch as its very informative.

Any thoughts? I find it scary just how easy it is to do.

We will run out of oil soon, in our life time (for those under 50)

When oil runs out this means no more petro-fertilizers (the most effective by far) and ofcourse farming equipment requires oil. So that means the amount of food produced will be drastically reduced. The population will also be at 10 billion by then

With no oil, the food we do manage to produce will not be able to get transported anywhere. There will be no electricity and so no communication. We will be left to fend for our selves!

So many of us rely on picking up food from shops and having the hard things in life done for us by technology (getting clean water for example)

So in short, most people will die, but not all.

What if god lets this happen and the rapture doesn't happen any time soon. Are you going to get prepared just in case or are you going to put your faith in god and end up dying because you cant look after your self? Seems silly to me.

Maybe hes curious to see how we fair with out our technology since we have become dependant on it. Or more likely, hes not real and there will never be a rapture!

Why do people foget she was the first wife of Adam? If you didn't even know then thats something to look up. If I post it all here no one will be bothered to read it :P

God cursed her so she would forever walk the earth feeding off the blood of babies (kinda like the first vampire I guess!)

So if she forever walked the Earth where is she now?

Atheists - I know its a just a fairy tale! Just interested in peoples thoughts. Some take this litrally is all.

For six days, work is to be done, but the 7th day is a sabbath of rest, holy to the lord. Whoever does any work on the sabbath day MUST BE PUT TO DEATH

exodus 31:15

How come many people work on Sundays now, and many people don't work on saturday which should be a day of work.

Its clearly not relevent today, people need to work more because of the economic crisis - but it says the law of the lord should never change and is perfect - clearly not! And whys the penalty so severe?

If Jesus said that this doesn't need to be followed any more can anyone provide any proof? Or is this another rule thats ignored because it suits us.
