When Life Is Hard Sometimes We Must Find The Courage To Hope By: Ron Connerly | - I recall a sleep study I did several years back and I inquired of the technician about her belief in God. She said it was so much superstition and imagination that she was not going to be duped into believing in a fantasy. Well I felt somewhat confident in dealing with agnostics but such blatant atheism was not something I felt confident to address in the time it took to hook up the wires and prepare me for bed. After years of reflection on that interchange that went nowhere evangelistic-ally ... Tags:(Hope) (Grace) (Courage)
A Summary: Why Halloween Began By: james u Willis | - Many of us wish to know how Halloween started. The history with this, being a holiday, is similar to countless other traditional celebrations which individuals observe today in that it has virtually absolutely nothing to do with the present-day activities. While many civilizations do spend some time conversing in regards to creepy points, there is nothing within the holiday that's really about the departed, the precise reason for the time of year as relevant towards the longstanding pagan tradit ...

Faith Of The Non-faithful By: Austin Hatem | - Report says nonbelievers [Atheists and Agnostics] know more, on average, about religion than most faithful. Jews and Mormons also score high on the U.S. Religious Knowledge Survey…La Times…
So although this survey wasn't entirely ingenuous, considering it was conducted off the streets, it is still reasonably discouraging. Many believe the driving factor was due to the fact that atheists and agnostics were brought up under a specific belief, but then did a considerable ...

Inspirational Philosophy By: Austin Hatem | - So I've consulted my large body of co-workers (as in me, myself and I) and we (I) have made the executive decision that I should incorporate a new feature that I'm going to call Philosophy Friday... Now I realize that philosophy isn't always inspirational (or interesting) but I'm fairly confident my own rendition of philosophy will at least provide you guys with food for thought... but anyways, here goes nothing...
Answers To The Questions Asked By Agnostics By: Quran Reading | - Islam is the second largest religion in the world and our prophet Muhammad (p.b.u.h) played a major role to spread the Islam by the help of holy Quran that Allah Almighty reveled to him when he was at the age of forty. As he came to this earth as a teacher so after him we as Muslims have the responsibility to Teach Quran those who have some queries and questions about Islam. "It is not for a believer, man or woman, when Allah and His Messenger have vindicated a subject that they should have any ...

"life After Death "" The Evidence" By: Rick Fess | - The book Life After Death The Evidence by Dinesh DSouza is not a spiritual fiction book, however if you dont believe in life after death, you would consider this to be fiction. Mr. DSouza presents a very credible case that life after death is a distinct possibility, and he presents his case in a logical, scientific and fact-based manner. He does not avoid the atheists, agnostics, believers, heretics or skeptics and explains his reasoning quite clearly in language that is under ...

Is Factoid A Euphemism For Trivia? By: Knight Pierce Hirst | - The 1994 Honda Accord was the most frequently stolen car in 2009. That's according to the National Insurance Crime Bureau. Mid-1990 Hondas and Toyotas frequently dominate the annual top-10 list of stolen cars. Because they are popular, there's always a market for their parts. The good news is car thefts dropped in every state in 2009. The drop nationally was 17% - the biggest drop in 6 years of dropping numbers. Although there are lots of new, anti-theft technologies, there's a cheap way to prot ... Tags:cars, punctuation, Colorado, obesity, religions, atheist, agnostic
Expertise Or Expert-tease? By: Veronica Hicks | - Depending on where you choose to source your news, the 2010 housing market is going to experience a positive upswing, stabilize, or suffer further massive decline. It's easy to understand how many 'experts' can have differing opinions. There are simply so many variables informing the many predictions that the optimists will naturally see the good news, the agnostics will look at the data with relative impartiality, and the doom-mongers will hone in on all the negatives. With all these mixed mess ... Tags:real estate market, housing market, home buying, real estate

Rarely Have We Seen A Person Fail Who Has Thoroughly Followed Our Path By: Tom Thompson | - I was born in Stockton, California, in 1925. I was the only child of two loving parents. My dad was a successful securities salesman. My mother was a concert pianist and studied the Bible every day. My dad had quit smoking before I was born, and neither parent gave evidence of any problem with alcohol. I saw no reason to smoke, and I didnt. I saw no reason to drink, and I did not drink until I returned from the Army at age 21.
There have always been judgment day predictions in the past as well as the time moves on there will be countless of these. The latest is the December 2012 end of world prediction. Does this mean the day of the judgment is coming on December 2012?

Secular Humanism consists of Atheism and Agnosticism. Atheists are people who deny God. Agnostics say that Reality is Unknown and maybe Reality exists, but That is not known to the human mind.
Oil Exploration Companies As Investments? By: luckystrike | - Call me old-fashioned, but I have never been able to view oil exploration companies as investments. Earnings visibility can never be anything but guesswork, hardly any ever pay dividends, most seem to disappear, one way or another without becoming Shell or Exxons...reminds me of a religious belief, professional explorers like to remember the one or two which became ten or twenty baggers and will not be dissuaded from their addiction to gambling, and the rest of us, agnostics and atheists, tend t ...

The Meaning Of Pagan Religion By: Rose Ariadne | - Paganism is a collection of varied earth-based religions based on timeless values such as belief, responsibility, respect, freedom, honesty, courage, will power and justice. This way of life was practiced as early as the Neolithic times.
The general consensus about the word "Pagan" is that it means "rustic" or "rural" religion which implies that is nature based and is usually practiced by people who live in villages or towns that are unadulterated, maybe even isolated. ...

The Tao Of Green Marketing By: Irv Weinberg | - To the Chinese, Tao means "The Way." A recent Google search for the phrase, "Saving the planet one (whatever) at a time," revealed more than 17,000,000 responses, with everything from saving the planet one flush at time to one hanger at a time to one bag, one shower, one burger, one carpet, one idea... You get the idea.
Great Christian Ministries By: Charlie Reese | - I first become involved in Christian ministries in 1996. To be honest, at the time I was not much of a committed Christian. I basically did it because my wife was into it. Christian ministry was alright for me, but it wasn't anything I particularly put faith in. The Christian youth Ministry I was involved in did some good work in the community, and I supported that, but I wasn't sure about the whole God thing. I liked that they were helping to keep kids off drugs and to provide job advice for th ... Tags:christian, christian ministires, ministry, christianity, spiritual, spirituality
Responding To Atheists: The God I Know By: Everest John Alexander | - In my travels through Cyberspace I've had the opportunity to engage in fervent discussion with several fellow travelers of the, shall we say Atheistic persuasion. And the one thing most of them seem to have in common is an arrogant disdain for anything Christian.
Prophecy 2009 - What Is Ahead For America By: Rev Michael Bresciani | - This article was birthed December 16, 2008 the day after the Electoral College cast their votes making Barack Obama the 44th President of the United States. I felt compelled and duty bound to say these things to anyone who has ears to hear. I have no doubt not many will listen but I also know that as each year passes I will gain hearers exponentially.
Georgia Pray For Rain By: Linda Dipman | - The dry ground blew into the air destroying the last few inches of top soil to the fields where irrigation had once fed its land. Now the farmers had to abandon their fields, because the underground river beds that watered the wells were now all dried up. The fields of earth now abandoned looked towards the heavens praying for God to rescue them!
The barren trees bowed low as if in prayer beseeching God for rain. The plants were gone and the people were leaving because there wa ... Tags:Georgia, rain, pray, drought, weather, God Jesus, faith, atheist, agnostics, christian, Linda Dipman
The Religion Of Football By: Tim-Knox | - Here in Alabama, there are three classes of people: Alabama Crimson Tide fans, Auburn Tiger fans, and atheists. Two of the three will go to Hell when they die. Which two depends entirely on who you ask.
Those Alabamians who like football but have no particular team preference are called, "agnostics." It is the hope of the faithful that someday these poor, pathetic souls will purchase an Alabama jacket or be given an Auburn cap and thereby experience the joy of committing themselv ...

On Greatness By: Jake Danger | - It's a long way from mediocrity to excellence. So common sense would seem to indicate that it's just as long a road from excellence to greatness. But I believe that greatness is an entirely different road that bypasses both mediocrity and excellence. Greatness is no closer to excellence than it is to mediocrity. Bill Gates is excellent; Nelson Mandela is great. Bill was busy making his first billion and putting a PC on every desk while Nelson was languishing in prison. That's the difference.
Mystics In The Market Place By: eileen fleming | - It has been said that evolution is being held up by fundamentalism and the surge of fundamentalism throughout all faith paths sends shivers through cynical atheists and mystics alike. The bumper sticker actually did get it right: "We are spiritual beings having a human experience."
According to the 1987 classic, "The Different Drum: Community Making and Peace", Dr. Scott Peck defines the spiritual life as fluid and that one may pass back and forth repeatedly through any of the fo ... Tags:soul, journey, philosophy, Judaism, Christianity, Christ, The Beatitudes
