Looking for informed discussions about this. No proselytizing, please.

I'm not sure how much I agree with him. I think he is basically right on, but does anyone know if it's true that EVERY culture so far has had some sort of spiritual sense, and has translated this into organized religion?(strictly speaking from an anthropological standpoint)
Also, what about athiests like myself? I have faith (har har) that there is no god. In your opinion, how do people like me triumph over biology like this?

I am a Pagan with lots of question about the Bible and Christianity. I was told by many Christians that if I read the Bible all of questions would be solved. Well, it seems as though it's just the opposite. I have more questions now than I did before reading the Bible. And I'm only on the first page!

My first question is this:
Genesis 1:3 Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
But then four days later we have:
Genesis 1:16 God made the two great lights--the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night--and the stars.

How could God have light before he created it? What light source did God create before he created the stars, the moon and the sun?

Then my big question is this one:
Genesis 1:26 Then God said "Let us make humankind in our image, according to our likeness ..."

I thought there was only ONE God, as per the Christian doctorine. The use of the words "Us" and "Our" seems to state otherwise.

SOME MATHEMATICAL MIRACLE OF QURAN.

there are some antonyms which occur exactly the same number of time in Quran .

"Man" is used 24 times, and "Woman" is also used as 24 times.

"Satin" and "Angel" , both occur 68 times in Quran.

"Dunya (this world) and "Aakhira (means hereafter), both occur 115 times in Quran.

The word for dry land ("Barr") occur 13 times in Quran , and the word for sea ("Bahr") 32 times. Guess what!? 13:32 is approximate ratio of land to water on the surface of the Earth.

The word for "Month" occur exactly 12 times in Quran and the word for day occurs 365 times in Quran.

Which famous religious leader said the following;?

I had made up my mind to write no more either about the Jews or against
them. But since I learned that these miserable and accursed people do
not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I
have published this little book, so that I might be found among those
who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews who warned the
Christians to be on their guard against them. I would not have believed
that a Christian could be duped by the Jews into taking their exile and
wretchedness upon himself. However, the devil is the god of the world,
and wherever God's word is absent he has aneasy task, not only with the
weak but also with the strong. May God help us. Amen.

And: Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools...


Who was he and what did he write?


Would you believe anything else that he said?


Would you follow his religious ideas?

2654 The AUTHENTIC Mr. Crowley has answered over 2,650 questions- his impostors have not! They took the same name as him and look exactly the same. I don't know how many there are, but one of them is a flaming racist. Click on his profile and scroll down to see his points - any less than 2,650 is a copycat, and needs to be reported! And since this needs to be a question, how stupid is copying somebody you dislike?

We don’t know all the wisdom behind such order, but there are some surprising studies regarding the number of verses in the surahs (chapters) of Quran.

There are 114 chapters in the Quran.
If you add up all the numbers from 1 to 114, you will get the number of 6555. (FORMULA : [n*(n+1)/2] OR [114*(114+1)/2] = 6555)
And There are 6236 verses in the entire Quran.

Suppose as a matter of curiosity, we add up "chapter number" and "the number of verses within that chapter". e.g. Chapter 1 contain 7 verses. This gives result of 8. and so on. This way we will get the 114 different totals (as there are 114 chapters in Quran). Now if for curiosity we wanted to know how many of them are even numbers and how many of them are odd numbers, we will get the result of 57 EVEN NUMBERS AND 57 ODD NUMBERS. That does not simply occur by Chance.

It does not seem right that blacks can have a united ***** college fund to send (only) a black kid to college. By singling out ANY race it's discrimination, same with Black history month, what if we had a White history month? or a white kid college fund? we would be called racist!! whats your take on this??
