Even if you don't believe that God is directly doing the testing, he is allowing it to happen, making it very difficult for those who want to believe. Why would God do this?

Coast to Coast and Jeff Rense is always having guests on who discuss these reptillians that trace back to the Bristish Empire. What is all this about? Who is behind this? Who are the mattoids?

I'm still trying to figure out why in the old testament, God was so cruel killing most of his own creation except for his favoured few in Noah's Ark, killing innocent new-born babies of the romans in the Moses story, and then suddenly in the new testament where instead of destroying the entire world again, God chose to bring Jesus down to so-called die for people's sin. If God was so powerful, why does he have to make 1 person suffer for other people's sin. Can't he just erase them or just forgive? Why does his mind work in such sick ways? He is GOD, he should be able to come up with a more less violent solution.

I'm asking this question because when people are younger, they try to look older and vice versa. If you answer yes to the above question, what age is perfect for you and why? (Everybody's answer will be different.)

Given that it only takes repentence and being born again, and that it is very possible in the last moments of seclusion for Hitler that he may have repented, but someone like Ghandi, who was not a Christian, but did so much good for his people, would burn in Hell?

Recently some of the lower class tabloids (the Sun mostly) seem to have contained alot of coverage that is anti-English or anti-Scottish (depending on which version of the paper you buy)
There have been a couple of isolated racist incidents which have been blown out of proportion in the media. So what i want to know is, When you read about this stuff, do you actually believe everthing it says? or do you just dismiss it as the sh*t stirring that i think it is?
I would also like to hear about what people from both sides of the border really think about each other!

According to http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/farrell_till/prophecy.html

Matthew said that Jesus was born in the reign of Herod, who died in 4 B. C. (2:1). Luke said that Jesus was born during the Syrian governorship of Quirinius, who was not even appointed to the position until 6 A. D. (2:2).

But it took me 60 seconds to find this website,
http://www.livius.org/he-hg/herodians/herod_archelaus.htm
to know the above website is wrong and unsubstaniated.

Thats me, an atheist, taking 60 seconds to debunk one paragraph on an atheist website.

i've wanted to know for the longest time, how could Issac, after seeing Rebecca, and falling in love w/her, and working 7 yrs for Laban to earn the right to marry her, not know he was consumating a marriage w/Leah until the morning? i understand that it was dark,and she was probably heavily veiled, but still, wouldn't he have recognized a difference in the sound of her voice, and realize he'd been duped?

if i unconditionally love her, what should i do if i only had two options?

1) give her a house where she can live happily, nicely and peacefully forever
2) give her a burning house where she has to live in pain forever

(and why do i have the feeling that God still has so many things to learn about unconditional love?)

First off... I recently saw an episode of Becker... There was a reference to a "Beautiful September morning... my son called me to tell me he could see practically all of Manhattan from his office.... blah blah.... I've been meaning to come down here since it happend, but now that I'm here I just can't do it..." So it's a reference to 9/11... very sympathetic.. as opposed to what I hear in the media... I still hear at least one reference to it each week, but when it's this subtle it really gets to me... Made me notice that my feelings have changed for the event over these past 5 years... wow... 5yrs already... How does everyone else feel to subtle mentions? Have your feelings about it changed over the years, and if so how? I've not put my true feelings into this because a 10point hungry person could very easily copy them, but to the person with the best answer (happy or aggressive) will go 10 points and a heart felt email (provided you confirmed your addy). Also asked this in TV.
