Anyone know?
Oh and PLEASE don't say that they were real places because there is NO archaeological evidence for the existence of either. Remember that as it's important.

A few of you have lashed out at me calling me hypocritical on my "Why do catholics bash protestants" quesion.

Am I bashing catholics, or am I just stating facts. There are so many of you fundamentalists out there that have no problem quoting scripture, or telling me that I am a hypocrit, yet you fail to answer my question.

I didn't ask if my question was hypocritical, so why do you answer me that way? What is wrong with answering the question? Oh yeah, you know that what it is saying is correct so you need to lash out in another way to make yourselves feel better.

This is a question and answer format. I would appreciate it if freaks like you would answer the question, not pussy foot around it to try and get your comments in.

Isn't authentic reality things that we can verify with empirical evidence, and not just "feelings in our heart"?

If God were real, why isn't there empirical evidence such that every single human person on Earth would be able to believe without a shawdow of a doubt?

The Roman-Catholic church is the largest land owner in the world. Religious organizations are some of the most profitable organizations on the planet. They tell you to believe them, but offer no proof of what they are saying. Just pass the collection plate around, and believe. You can be in our special club then. How do I get in on such an awesome, tax free racquette like that?

With so many people worried about sports and games and getting more "points" than others, I am wondering how many points it takes to achieve enlightenment? Or maybe it doesn't take points--maybe it takes dollars? I am convinced that getting the most points on Yahoo! Answers will enable me to achieve ultimate happiness. I heard about this guy named Jesus who said that you can get to heaven for free, but that doesn't seem very American to me... A true patriot knows that it takes lots of money and points and votes to get saved! If only enough people voted for me, I could be the next American Idol. That is surely the meaning of life. Millions of people can't be wrong, can they? If getting points weren't important, how come so many people spend so much time playing and watching sports?

Firsf of all, God is fake but I'll just give you the benefit of the doubt and explore the psychology of believing in God

I heard so many Christians say "If I dont believe in God and I'm wrong, I have a lot to lose but If I believe in God and i'm wrong, I have nothing to lose"

Your entire belief is based on a selfish motive. You just dont want to take the chance of being wrong because you dont want to go to hell(which is not even real)

How would you like it if your husband said he'll believe in you only because you might kill him if he doesn't?

If God exist(which he doesn't), he probably has more respect for us Atheist for being honest with ourselves and not believing just because we're afraid something bad might happen.

If you think hell exist, you're afraid of it. Bottom line. SO, DONT LIE

I'm not being silly, so think about it. With all the scientific testing, chemicals, blah, blah, blah, maybe there's a possibility someday of the dead being reanimated with very primal instincts. If so, what would you do?

No, seriously, some fundies really do not understand this. Should our standardized testing be blamed? How can one graduate from high-school without knowing the answer to this?

i had two ladies come right up on my property last sat, and they tried to preach the bible to me. i told them very politely that i was not interested. But they said they wanted to read me scripture anyway. i was kinda getting mad because i told them i was not interested but yet the persisted. Now i love god and i believe in jesus but i did not feel like i needed to be preached to. then they asked me what i thought of the war on terriorists. well i told them that i felt like it all stemmed from religions fighting with each other over who was the greatest. i told them we never should have gotten into this war ion the first place. and after i got finished explaining my point of view, they just sat there and stared at me. i was very nice when i explained my position and i don;t know why they were rendered speechless. but my point is if you are going to bother someone on a sat at their own home, you better be able to talk the talk, otherwise preach to someone else. what are your thoughts?

It is in this way that we must train ourselves: by liberation of the self through love. We will develop love, we will practice it, we will make it both a way and a basis, take our stand upon it, store it up, and thoroughly set it going.

I grew up very poor (not even running water) and I did well in school and didn't get into any trouble. People seem to think that if a person grows up poor that is an excuse for them to be criminals. All people are subject to the same moral laws and there is no free pass to poor people. There is no excuse to get into drugs or crime just because you are poor. There are alot of poor nations in the world where there isn't as much crime as in the U.S. These welfare families get everything handed to them for free (I have seen them buy all kinds of goodies at the grccery store while I buy generic and just the basic) and they walk out and get into their car while I carry heavy bags to the busstop. THese are the same people that are selling drugs in the parking lot and robbing people. I am still very poor myself but I don't resort to criminal activity as a solution. I don't blame my upbringing or the goverment.
