In any monotheistic religion there is only one god. How can any religion claim to be closer to god than another religion. Even atheists love themselves occasionally. Isn't that love that they feel a gift from this almighty god that they don't even believe in? Why then must jewish people oppress palestine and why does the united states take the side of Israel. As the "chosen" people, all that meant was that jewish people were chosing to believe in a god. It does not mean god hand pick these guy's to be extra special and able to do whatever they want, whenever and where ever. So my question is, if the jews and the muslim agree that they all came from the same father, doesn't that make them brother's regardless of who their mother is. It would be like dropping bombs on your sibling because they had a different mother than you, that doesn't make any sense, can you help me out? thanks!

I found a website a couple of months back about a so called Christian science museum opening up in Kansas, or maybe Kentucky... I don't know, I lost the link.

Anyway, the website said that the exibits would teach things like:

A T-Rex chased Adam and Eve from Eden.
Humans and dinosaurs not only lived during the same time period, but were friends.
Noah's flood is what caused the Grand Canyon.

I find this utterly rediculous. Are there people who actually believe this stuff?

Anyone who could provide a link would be most helpfull as well!

Muslims call me an infidel because I am not a Muslim. Christians call me an infidel because I am not a Christian. So, who is right?

If not, how can freewill exist? We mimic what we see from birth, but we have no control over what we see. You can tell right from wrong, but what of people who are ignorant of the consequences? And we can't blame one another for being ignorant because simply put: any man will be a better man under better circumstances. So how can there be a justification for eternal damnation?

A friend of one of my brother's sang "Danny Boy" at my Dad's funeral.
Myself, I want "Be Happy, Don't Worry"--unless Christ comes before that, of course.

Missing limb(s), limited use of arms or legs? Do you consider it strange when someone with full movement has a disabled person as their significant other?

To make this clear:

*I have nothing against the handicapped and disabled.

*I have friends who have disabilities.

*I date a someone with disabilities.

I appreciate ALL comments. :)

Christians seem to think it's okay to ignore the old Jewish rules because Jesus came along and died on a post. Bill Nye the Science Guy has much better tricks than Jesus. I bet He could turn water into wine, walk on water and do hundreds of things Jesus couldn't. Isn't it time to ignore the old Christian rules as they are every bit as ridiculous and outdated as the Jewish ones were?

i've had a few cats in my life and i've noticed they seem to look into corners of the room, abruptly turn and stare at nothing, and can appear freaked out when there is no apparent cause. i know of many myths concerning a cats ability to see apparitions, spirits, ectoplasmic energy and angels. what do you think about this and are there any personal experiences worth mentioning?

Since Jesus celebrated and followed Jewish ways(old testment),shouldn't those of us who consider ourselves "christian" or catholic, have respect and honor these traditions because of Him and the His mother, Mary,( who was also Jewish).

For example: We say Italy, they say Italia. To us? Japan. They say Nihon or Nippon. Never made any sense to me. Stupid question I know, really stupid answers are welcome.
