Did you know that you broke a commandment when you did? You're probably going to hell now.

31: "It was also said, `Whoever divorces his wife, let him give her a certificate of divorce.'
32: But I say to you that every one who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, makes her an adulteress; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.

Matthew 5:31-32

Now that would have left Adam and Eve Cain's Mother and Father. According to the bible, that leaves three people. The next time you read about Cain he has a wife. Now if Cain was banished from around his parents where did the other person come from? Other person being Cain's wife.

Should we ban the atheists who havent read origin of the species

should those who believe in allah be banned if they havent read the qur'an

(I don't know if anyone will even bother to read the details and see my point, which is dont ban anyone)

A good friend wanted to know. I told her I didn't have the answer but I'd ask around. She says he's really cute and she has to know before next week when he goes out on a suicide bombing. She says they're both virgins. Oh, and she also wants to know if oral or anal sex would be less of a sin than genital. She needs these answers right away.

Not that we can check but by the answers we can make very intelegent estimate who read the bible and who did not.
Lets bann all non educated Christians so they won't bring bad name to others.

I don't understand why people would refuse to believe in some form of a higher power. Yes we all know the Bible is full of contradictions and shouldn't be taken literally (I say this first because that seems to be the number one defense used by Atheists, why follow the Bible) Not all of us follow the thing word for word, only crazy Fundamentalist Christians do that and we're not all crazy like that.

But, putting the only religion they seem to question aside, what about all the others? Religions have been around throughout human history, majority of civilizations, tribes, communities, what have you, have all believed in some form of god, goddess, saints, ect. I'm not just talking about God and Jesus, I'm talking about even the remotest tribes practing rituals and praying to gods...that's a form of religion as well.

29: If your right eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body be thrown into hell.
30: And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away; it is better that you lose one of your members than that your whole body go into hell.

While meditating recently, I had a beautiful vision of my heart growing to the size of my room, then the city, and eventually the world. As if it were all-encompassing and everywhere. As if god, love, our hearts, and everything is interconnected in such a beautiful way.

So I'm asking your opinion with respect to religion and spirituality. How does reading this make you feel, with respect to your personal religion, or lack thereof?

People keep answering questions about the bible or other things related to it without actually doing ANY research at all. Claiming all sorts of nonsense about how people thought back then to everything else. Why don't people do more research before making **** up and passing it off as truth?

speeding isn't very interesting, unless you're like the guy I met who was clocked at 85mph in a school zone.

mine is something like...oh, crossing state lines, with certain people, for certain purposes. but it might not be what you think.

I just read a poem on here that I really enjoyed. It was very dark, and therefore not for everyone. (One person said it wasn't poetry, and that the author should write about birds, trees, and flowers.)

While everyone's opinion is valid, and they are free to say they don't like something, does a negative opinion mean it's not poetry? Or not art?

Thoughts, please?

Does anybody know or does it still remain a mystery? And don't give me the story about there are so many names, or that it's a secrete? Because why would a loving God hide its name from its children( its creation)?

How can I prove that I (or anything for that matter) exists? All I have to test it with are my five senses and my memory of what my senses have told me. Can these really be considered reliable?
