Why do the Jewish seem more prosperus? they seem to be more finatialy blessed. Why would God bless another religion more, if being Chistian is the way to go?

If there is no promise of eternal reward, nor threat of punishment, why would you behave ethically?
Do you do unto others as you would have done unto you? What if others don't reciprocate?
Do you follow moral guidelines, even when no one is watching?
You don't have to answer every question - pick and choose if you like.
I just want some commentary on how and why people can behave decently without organized religion or 'fear of God' as a moral enforcer.

NOTE TO NON-ATHEISTS: Do you see how it says "ATHEISTS: " at the beginning of the question? That's because I am not talking to you. If you think you have something important to say about your religion or ethics, please hang on to it until someone asks you for your input.

First of all let me state that I'm 18, so it doesn't apply to me.

If they leave it how it is right now, kids that put their correct age are protected. They have personal information blocked, and people can only view their profiles if they are added as a friend.

If they raise the age limit, the kids that are too young are going to sign up as an adult and get the adult features. Don't say otherwise because that is exactly what will happen: when the kids try to sign up with their real birthdate and it says taht they are too young they are going to hit the back button on their browsers and change their birthday. When they do, they will get no protection unless they select it - No blocked personal information unless selected, profile viewing to anyone and no content blocking.

So why are there parents trying to get them to raise the age limit? Do they honestly think that their children and others' are completely innocent?

The Date: June 23, 2000.
The Media: The New York Times
The Headline: "Fossil Discovery Threatens Theory of Birds' Evolution."

This article was about a bird which was recently unearthed in the Middle East. "It has been discovered that the fossil, which was unearthed in the Middle East and estimated to have lived 220 million years ago, is covered with feathers, has a wishbone just like Archaeopteryx and modern birds do, and there are hollow shafts in its feathers. THIS INVALIDATES THE CLAIMS THAT ARCHAEOPTERYX IS THE ANCESTOR OF BIRDS, because the fossil discovered is 75 million years older than Archaeopteryx. This means that A REAL BIRD WITH ALL ITS CHARACTERISTIC FEATURES ALREADY EXISTED 75 MILLION YEARS BEFORE THE CREATURE WHICH WAS ALLEGED TO BE THE ANCESTOR OF BIRDS."

then shouldn't African theology be supremely important? Do you even know if there is a common religion, if it is monotheistic or poly, and what are their creation stories. If Adam and Eve were true, shouldn't that story exist in African religion?

When this man raped me i lost my physical virginity. i can never look at a boy or any husband i have some day and say I gave it to him. I would love to be able to at least say I lost it in a sinful hot moment with my bf. Anything but the way it happened. I want my virginity back but thats ha ha ha thinking. But, what about my mind? It was also robbed of its virginity. I cant remember having a thought since then where it didnt stain my thinking even in the most innocent times of making out with my bf. Not even the times of teenage hormones or silly little girl kissing with a boy from my neighborhood. Am I cursed like a lepor to the land of " those girlz that were raped or have a past " ? Or to being " Ok now after the rape....kinda OK... "...still living but really dead.. I like to say he left me for dead among the dead. The soul dead that still walk around.

People who believe in hell only, please...I have seen logical explanations of what the Bible says about hell for 2 opposite opinions from 2 different religions. One says hell is eternal..you will burn forever. The other one says it is real but that you burn up and it is over. What reference can you give me to find a true answer?

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that witchcraft is little more than an opportunity for an otherwise regular person to incriminate themselves. I went to a public school in a small town down South, where all of the little Caucasian kids that weren't part of the local elite (indeed) thought that they were Witches and Pagans and everything else. We even had a few guys that thought they were martial artists! Not me. I was a good ol' fashioned Renegade bent on conquering the world!

Here is my quandry. Are you a Mystic? Is it as exciting as it should be? Is your power so weak that sometimes you inwardly question its existance? Are you regularly overtaken by the desire to do harm? Have you found a clever way to do harm and make it look like you're trying to help yet? Do you like the other Humans? Do you have a job? Do you seek to build strong diplomatic relations with others? Do you regularly ask favors of people 100x more powerful than you? Do your acts bear fruit?

Is it worth it?

seriously, I want to know.
I have hatred for him, and that's not good.
Help me find so good (but most likely trivial) things about him that will make me move from hatred to strong dislike.
I don't like hatred, and to see it within me hurts me.
