They are prisoners to poverty anyways... why not have food in their tummy? With free food, workout facilities, A/C and cable televsion... wouldn't it make more sense to commit some non violent crime and go to jail for a few years? You even get laid now and then!!! That's it I'm selling my house and going homeless!!!

The religious beliefs of ancient Egyptians and Greeks have always fascinated me. Do modern Egyptians still believe in the gods like Rah, Osiris, etc? Do greeks still believe in Zeus and Athena?

I'm just curious as to why those religions might have died out (if at all). On average, a majority of people in India, Asia, Japan, even Native Americans, still follow the spriitual beliefs of their ancestors.

They aren't killing for god or anything. They are killing because their government tells them to. Since god says though 'Shalt not kill', doesn't that mean they are going to hell? Or do they get out of jail free card by asking for forgiveness?

What a great detterent to crime. Watching someone get hung in town square would surely make me think twice about committing a crime.

And please, NO personal "stories" ok? We all know that they are lies.
What I'm looking for is concrete evidence of divine intervention in the affairs of man.
For instance, why would "god" sit back and allow the death of innocent civilians in the middle east? Why not just "divinely" inspire the leaders to say sorry and shake hands and make up?
Wouldn't that be a MUCH better solution to what is going on there now?
Or is he just a sick, demented bastard who loves to watch children get blown apart by shells and rockets?
Hmmmm?

A cop friend of mine said that a woman went into the police station covered in blood. She said she'd been attacked. The desk cop called the doctor and paramedics. The doc said that Rigor mortis was "advanced" and that the woman had been dead for up to 3 hours. She had only been in the cop station for 30 minutes. Weird?

Is there a Mrs. God? I mean would God have a penis if it was useless to have one?

Muslim God is not against abortion. She says " bring into the world as many children as possible if you can look after them. Otherwise dont bring them into this world." What about the Christian God? What does she say?

Nutcases can and will do anything; they don't count. This is about what a more or less normal person did without thinking it through.

if it doesent then why do you insist on codemning people? obviously it must give you some sort of warped felling of accomplishment. a sort of "those who dont think like me can BURN! MUAHAHAHAH!" kind of thing.

why do you inist on codemning good people to a place where they will be eternally tortured? is that what your religion honestly teches? that those who are different shall be in eternal pain?

and you WANT people to convert to your religion? is it me or is that perpetuating hatred and bigotry?

explain yourselves.

We know that there was a war in Heaven.
We know that some angels were democrats and did not wanted to bow before men.
The Question is how we even consider the idea that heaven is a such good place.
So at first heaven was not such a good and than GOD rebuild heaven and now for eternity there will be no war or anything bad? Than what does Heaven means if it was not created perfect. Don’t start with free will or that Lucifer was arrogant or what ever. I am asking how Heaven in its own definition of only and the only good could have something that was not perfect. Than who may guarantee that it will never happened again. Who can claim that god will never turn heaven into hell. If I am correct GOD build Heaven way before he create first angel, and I guess than heaven was such a good place but got improved trough the history?

When people say that you are loaded "Like the Jones'", what exactly do they mean by that? As my husband would say..."Who are the Jones'?"

my wife thinks i should never take my ring off, but when i'm at the gym and lifting heavy weights it bruises my fingers badly. the pain really effects the way i grip the barbells. and my ring is taking damage -- it gets scratched from the metal grips on the barbell... i'm devoted to my wife, but isn't this an instance where taking your ring off is okay?

I realize that this section is already a sub-catagory by itself, but wouldn't it be a tad more peaceful if there were other sub-catagories such as "Christian", "Pagan", "Atheist", "Islam", "Buddhist", etc?

That way there would be no more inter-faith bickering and arguing and people could actually get answers to their questions without being lectured from the other group, unless they were looking for a fight, Which in turn would make them look like an idiot anyway.

I'm sure if enough of us say something to the Y!A maintenance (or whom-ever), we could accomplish this.
