"A soul is but the last bubble of a long fermentation in the world."

~Geoge Santayana

What is your interpretation of this?

but you dont see my point. if god wanted a perfect world why give us those choices? why create evil? why make us grow the land? its good he gave choicess but why the chance in this area to make the wrong ones? we could have all been his true followers.

and someone still chooses to not be with him, they dont choose eternal damnation they just choose not to be with him, why cant God just make them not exist instead of eternal torture? why cant God allow them to freely choose how they are going to spend eternity?

There are many 'search engine sites' all these sites compete with each other. There are many 'dating sites' all these compete with each other. There are many 'restaurants' and all these compete with each other...My question is, why isn't there just 'one' of each kind? Are all the different types necessarly? If so, then does that mean competing is really an illusion?

Why does the Universe allow the creation of people so similar that they must compete with each other, and yet sometimes they are just enough different that they cannot come together?

Should everyone just continue to do there thing even though there are those similar to their kind, or should they come together? What is the solution, or purpose of this?

In church u taught life was created by god but in school im taught that it happened by evolution and we were created by monkeys... so which is real and how can i believe one thing and not the other.. it confuses me alot and i dont think schools should focus on that subject because it really does causes stress and confusion between the too.

Suppose I dont believe that there is a god or several gods or any sentient being out there. However, I dont think that religion is bad. Its great if a group of diverse people can be brought together under the ideas of certain morally correct behaviors and beliefs. Regardless of wheather anultimate god exists, if belief in his teachings encourages people to do good, then i'm all for it. Religion starts to get bad when it stops promoting coexistance and love and starts codemning any group with different ways of practicing. I read about atheism, but that seems like it scorns people who do believe in a divinity, and I dont think that it's right to discriminate people for their beliefs(so long as they're positive). I also dont think that we should only do good in this life so as not to be punished when we die. I think people should do good while they're here because its the right thing to do, and when you die, you're dead. :-) Any response, imput, or advice would be appreciated!

im not gay, however i feel no reason why a gay couple can't marry, or legally be seen as a married couple, it doesnt affect my life in any way, i'll still get up do the housework, and go to work, and pay the bills and raise my family.....Isnt it better to see people in love rather than fighting????so if youre against it, i ask WHY, and not the bibles reason why, your individaul reason why.....

Because heaven isn't real and if it was christians are just a bunch of hypocrites who preach for a living. They judge everyone just for their beliefs and think they know who's going to hell. Who made you god to decided who's going to hell.

Is the idea realistic?

Would it work?

Let's face it, anyone who cares about "saving" someone so badly that they end up on their doorstep, probably wants to rob them

I really do believe that most people are more annoyed by their intrusions, pestering and sometimes full blown harrassment, than they are appreciative of it.

Should this question be posed under the category of Law, Religion, Civic Participation or all three places?

You can spend the rest of your life with one person. Would you rather have someone you can talk with about anything, but the sex sucks, or someone you can have awesome sex with, but who can't hold a thought in their head?

For instance, i grew up in the uk so i'm more likely to be christian.But, if i was born in asia, then it's likely I could be muslim or hindu. Do christians believe people of other faiths are going to hell? How do you know you have the right one?
