They will tell everyone they meet that they can't wait for it so they can go to heaven to meet their lord, but when faced with certain death, will fight to stay alive. In my opinion, these people are the biggest bunch of hypocrits on the planet.( I did not say all christians, so relax.)

Why in all the messianic scriptures in the Old Testament (Torah) not mention it. Nowhere does it say when the messiah come you have to believe in him. On the contrary the prophesies make it clear that when he does come there will be no doubt. Christian response to those scriptures is he will do it in the second coming (also not mentioned in scripture)

I'm just confused and hurt a little. It's like black women are pariahs or something. I think it's a shame that in this day and age that people are still so hung up on stereotypes that we don't even merit a look see. I have discussed this with several other sisters(single and married) and they agree with what I've been finding.

TEHRAN (AFP) - Five Iranian men convicted of kidnapping and rape have been hanged in the southern cities of Kerman and Zahedan, the ISNA news agency reported.

ADVERTISEMENT

Three men sentenced to die for six cases of kidnapping, robbery and rape were hanged on Tuesday morning in Kerman, a local judiciary official was quoted as saying.

Two other men, who were only identified as Said A. et Nasser Ch., were hanged in the southeastern city of Zahedan for armed kidnapping and "creating a climate of terror in society", ISNA reported.

The executions bring to at least 61 the number of people executed in Iran so far in 2006, according to an AFP tally based on press reports and witnesses.

Capital offences in the Islamic republic include murder, rape, armed robbery, apostasy, blasphemy, serious drug trafficking, repeated sodomy, adultery or prostitution, and treason and espionage.

The first time I ever stepped foot in a church I was about 4 or five. I can remember the preacher saying if you don't believe in god you are going to hell. Now for a five year old I didn't know exactly what that meant So it was explained to me. I am older know but part of me thinks I was made to believe in god at a young age. What is the point of forcing your beliefs on someone , I just don't get it. And wouldn't you consider certain churches cults for doing that?

Theres this girl that is a total ***** to me. Mostly because im from a wealthy family and she always made remarks like "you little rich kids dont know what its like to be poor". When i was younger i always had my mom make two lunches, one for me and one for her. Then when we hit high school, she turned to a *****. But i always remained faithful and kept being nice to her. Couple days ago i actually invited her over to my house. She did come over and it was like we were 9 years old again. My friends are rude to her back but i dont see the point of that so im still nice. Well last night there was graffitti in front of the gates of my house. When my dad went over the security camera, it showed her and her friends spray painting our gates, and breaking down the buzzer so we can open the gates from inside teh house. why did she do this? Also why is she acting different with her friends than by herself?

Like there is a woman in town and our sons were friends, Until the other one took my sons girlfriend.Then she got pregnant and we didn't know if it was grand baby or her grandbaby. Well it turns out to be hers. That is fine but I am still friends with the girl.She even brings the baby out sometime to see us.I would never be bad to the child because it is the woman's grand.I always treat it just as mine own.- But this woman has been talking about me and telling STRAIGHT LIES about me for about 2 years now.And her talk has started more gossip and lies all over town. Now people think bad of me and they all be talking behind my back. Now keep in mind that all the things that this woman starts about me are MADE UP LIES...I think that I need to get a Lawyer and let him handle it publicly so the town will know that she is not the Christian that she claims to be. Because Christians don't treat people like she does and my name is a household word at her house.I have never confrounted the woman.

Is my 'belief' (!) in evolution due to my own independent thought using logic and reasoning after examining the available evidence or is it due to Satan's powers?

God
-----
Bible or Qu'ran
philosophical arguement that a tornado can't go through a junkyard and build an airplane, and so by looking at a tree we must infer that the tree had a creator . . God

Evolution
-----------
DNA comparrissons with other living animals, such as the fact that we share 98% of our DNA with the chimpanzee,

Fossil record showing differences over time

Counter to these

Counter to God: Bible written by man, Qu'ran written by man, the thing with the plane is like a 3 year old riddle it requires no counter it is SOTTISH

Counter to evolution: We share a percentage of our DNA with a pig, does that mean we evolved from a pig?
Counter to this counter: Will we probably do have a common ancestor with a pig 80 million years ago, so yes thats LOGICAL.

Counter to the fossil: It's fake, see dr dino
Counter to the counter: CARBON DATING ANALYSIS reveals forgeries.


Does this sum up where we are in our yahoo answers conversation about God?

If you look at the assembly instructions from IKEA, there's no words, just some comic book characters acting out a scene. For example, a drawing of a man wearing protective gloves means "you have to screw the table leg in real tight, cause it wasn't designed to go in easily". I figure Swedes have some special talent for understanding this stuff!

My goldfish that are back from the circus unlocked my liquor cabinet and let the ranch duckys in. The poor innocent duckies are branding each other with a curling iron and the goldfish are refusing to leave. How can I resolve this without anyone getting hurt!
