If its true that the strongest survive and there is nothing after we die. Then why Not cheat on your wife/husband . Indulge in any and all sexual indulgance or any thing else you get off to. Anything less is really hypocritical. Family honor or tradition means nothing really if this is all there is.

Why do people who go to church seem to think they are better than those of us who choose not to go?

I am for the most part pretty sane and normal, and dont jump to conclusions. I always rationalize, but this is nuts! 3 weeks ago my pap (who I was very very close to), died unexpectedly.it's been extremely hard on me, but i'm getting along. the prob is, that since he died a few "strange" things have been happening. the two strangest are when i was transporting a pt (im an EMT), one of my electronic medical equipment started showing a reading and it wasnt hooked up to anyone,( reading as in a heartrate), and when I was alone (for sure) in the truck bay doing a rig check, something "hit" the back of my ambulance,( i heard it and felt the little vibration in the chasis).Could this stuff really be happening, and if so what do you think's going on? or am I just so crazy with grief right now that I could be having realistic halucinations??? help! i feel like i'm losing it!

I subscribe to neither faith, but I was wondering about this. In my opinion the Dali Lama would run circles around the Pope. Fire away.

He created a whole universe, complete with different languages, races,geography, flora, fauna etc. I think he was but other people will tell you he was just a good story-teller. What do you think

These are the major sects of Islam :

- the Sunnis who are warlike and believe in violence their caliphs corrupted the Quran and they follow the non authentic Hadiths(sayings) of the Prophet.
- The Shiite sect which are also violent and worship Ali.
-The Sufis a peaceful sect which nonetheless still follows the corrupted Quran.
-The Zaidiyyah- a very peaceful loving sect of Islam which follows the Islam revealed to Mohammed(saw) by the 99 gods.

Ok.
My friend ask me this question.
If everyone on earth lost 5 pounds.
Would the earth's gravity go out of balances?
I would love to know what would happen.

Here's what Christians believe (this is what they've told us right here on Y!A):
1) The Devil has vast powers to tempt and trick them into committing sins here on earth. And he's good at it -- 'cause EVERYbody sins.
2) Sin is an abomination to God, and he will punish sinners in the next life.

So: If the Devil gets ya while yer alive, then God will getcha AGAIN after you're dead.

Do believers worry about this?

Are Sunni Muslims more moderate than the Shiites? If the West's dialogue with Muslims were directed to the Sunnis would we make more progress than trying, to support the Shiites in Iraq? Hypothetically, if there were no Sunni/Shiite split, would Muslims be easier to deal with?

Seems to make many Christians angry, why do they answer them? Wouldn’t turning the other cheek come into a play here? It rages with my age old argument that if offends your eyes avert them..So why do you answer?

Why must there be a god? Are people incapable of being cooperative and productive members of a supportive society without the over riding hand of a father figure/judge? Can't people use reason and intelligence to figure out a way to have a functional life without the duality of a good/evil superstition?

During Hurricane Katrina, only 20% of New Orleans was spared from flooding. Part of this 20% was the "gay district" which contrained all the gay bars/porn shops etc. Why would a 'gay hating' God flood the local GOP building but not the gay porn shops?

I'm in the middle of finding a news article for proof, hang on a second.

Why do Christians choose to attend Church ceremonies today? I thought Sunday was God’s day off? I mean he works really hard during the week shouldn’t this be the day that he rests? Wouldn’t having to be at every Church, listening to all those sermons be taxing?
