Sounds like a stupid question, but with such suprising evidance that we have that our country was founded on the belief (or influenced by) a religion...Why is it when someone commits a crime they cant get away with it if they say "God told me to do it".

Think about it for a second.

i dont mean just parts that suit individuals needs,but all of the Bible!if we all used Gods law in our daily lives i truely believe our world would be a better place.(and not just parts of the Bible)

we use to live by good morals and live by His word...well the majority anyways...but not even close now!most of us only go by the parts that help ourselves in selfish ways!
for the non-believers...just pretend (for one week) that you truley believe in God and live by His words and His laws and see if most of your problems dont go away! some of you are looking for answers to different things,so just try my little experiment and prove me wrong...

i am only stateing my beliefs and you may do the same,but i hope you try the experiment for one week and see if i am right or wrong!

no trolls please

Most serious biblical scholars accept the fact that a lot of the New Testament had been added to later and changed by people with vested interests.

Because you are a devout Christian. These means nothing to you correct?

This is what the 'original white inhabitants of france' have to say to the 'immigrants from north africa' who are pro-communist and against the 'establishment' and capitalism.

what do you think ? is it true that the thought process is ' if we do not have money, all those who have it are evil '

In Isaiah 7:14 the Bible gives a prophecy. It says, "Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel."

Uhm, am I missing something here?

I believe in life, free-thought, and physics. I believe in reality, and that through the scientific process hypotheses can be supported or rejected so we as a species may find answers in this world of questions. I don't intend to live my life based on myth and superstition

A woman at work always has hickeys all over her neck. She got a divorce 6 mos ago and when she was married she was always covered in hickeys and now that she's single and dating she still has hickeys everywhere. Co-workers are always making comments to her and tell her that it looks really bad and unprofessional but she tells people to mind their own business.
Is it their business since, as an employee, she's representing the company, or should they mind their business?

isn't this entire gamut of human relationships the basic cause of all our miseries and frustations,love and hate, sex and desire, faith and deceit, friendship and enemity, animals don't have emotions, but they seem to have much more true attachment, like dogs and horses may be? can we not revert allthis sentimental nonsense to pure physicality, straightforwardness, and a simple give and take to make our lives much more simpler and easy to lead peacefully? i don't think there is something like selfless love or affection, haven't you heard the story from Panchtantra about a female monkey, who finally sttod upon her offsprings, when the water in the tank was beyond her nostrils, and she couldn't breathe?

for example, i see many people becoming religious because it shields them from the suffering, and makes them happy again.

so, they are suffering and feeling depressed, and then along comes religion and lifts them out of it.

just getting at what underlies the belief, and not saying that's a good or bad thing about religion, but these people prolly would.

I don't have a lot of knowledge about Christianity, and I'd like to get to know more...

I understand that Jesus died on the cross for "us", but there's still something that's confusing and mind boggling. Did Jesus die on the cross to save those people then? What about those people before Him? How did He die and "save" us, the people from 2,000 years later after His death?

Any thoughts, comments, welcomed.

I guess I am ignorant but a gay friend of mine told me he can't guarantee leaving his partner his "worldly goods" since they can't be married. He says his brother could possibly take the things. After thinking about this(?) Couldn't he have it specified in a will that his mate is the one to inherit his things? Or is there some other dumb law I don't hear about? Any advice I can relay to him?

i guess overall, i have only seen people decide to believe in god and become religious when they have suffered greatly.

i have not seen someone become a religious believer after they have had a tremendously happy experience in a life context in which there has been no recent or present suffering.

god may be seen to make people happy when there has been recent suffering or when there is present suffering however - causing them to become religious. imho
