I saw this as one of the answers to a question here, and it made me curious. The article says:

"New Study Links Homophobia with Homosexual Arousal
Questions Whether It Is Latent Homosexuality Or A Response to Anxiety

Psychoanalytic theory holds that homophobia --the fear, anxiety, anger, discomfort and aversion that some ostensibly heterosexual people hold for gay individuals -- is the result of repressed homosexual urges that the person is either unaware of or denies. A study appearing in the August issue of the Journal of Abnormal Psychology, published by the American Psychological Association (APA), provides new empirical evidence that is consistent with that theory........"

i was just curious about the opinions about this.

More specifically, did man create religion to counteract the fear of death, or did early civilization create religion to control human wants, and needs, and urges, by scaring them with eternal damnation?

I asked a question about heaven and hell days ago, and several christians answered back that they would rather have eternal life in heaven, over an eternity in hell, but they don't call this eternity in hell "eternal life". Now mind you when they speak of heaven it is all in terms of eternal life. If these places did exist, and you have to spend an eternity in one, or the other, wouldn't this be eternal life in hell also? Now I know all you Christian hypocrits will bend the words of your sacred text to mean whatever you desire, but lets use our brains on this one. No quoting books of mythology, just simple logic, does an eternity in hell and an eternity in heaven both count as eternal life?

I have seen many answers of people who say that they don't believe in God and I have noticed that many of them answer in an angry mood why is that?

You need to remember that what is right (that theres no god and no afterlife) is not always popular (since most people are christians that makes it popular, but its not right) and what is popular( christianity) is not right (no god and no after life is right). So if you tell yourself otherwise, your just fooling yourself. When it comes to the truth, there isnt strength in numbers. The truth still stands regardless. Whatever is behind that door, is behind that door. No collective anything will change it. k? is everyone gonna remember that?

Why must there be so much suffering? Wars, natural disaters, terrorism, rape, murder, homlessness, starvation, hate crimes, disease, etc. etc. etc. Isn't life hard enough without more drama and suffering? Why can't we all just puff on a big ole spliff, drink a beer, help one another out, and have some laughs?

If people just learned to accept one another for who they are and try to pick them up when they stumble this world would be much better.

I'm not a Christian (even though i've read that thing front to back) but I dedicate my life to helping people in anyway possible. Yeah I smoke weed, so what? That just helps me to calm down after dealing in a world where every two seconds a Christian says I'm a sinner for not going down God's road haha.

To me, Christians (for the most part, not all of them. I refuse to say 'everyone' ) seem to degrade people and point out all their flaws, while me on the other hand point out all their good qualities.

honest answers I'm unbiased :)

Near death experiences tell us there is a Hell. Bible and Jesus told us there is a Hell. Justice of God demands a Hell.

In the Beginning God created heavens and earth.
God gives you air to breathe and sunshine to enjoy.
God gives you water to drink and food to eat.
God gives you a wonderful body and sound mind, to live.
God loves you, and you are precious to Him.
Son of God died on the Cross to save us from condemnation.
Jesus’ love is boundless and everlasting.
We have the hope of Heaven through Jesus.
Life therefore has fantastic and glorious future!

With so many teams in the world cup, with different religions involved. If all religions pray for their own teams, who can win? Is it a battle of the gods?

P.S. I KNOW I'll get some religious idiots who had a sense of humour by-pass who will want to shoot me down for "blasphemy" I look forward to reading the inane rants of these people.

Adoption is great! I know a few people who were adopted and they have great step families, and love their life. So why can't woman put up their baby's for adoption, rather than abort them? Seriously, you can't say they may have a horrible time growing up, you never know, and many children are adopted my wonderful couples. I am so glad I wasn't aborted as a baby... aren't you?
