We all hate to lose a relative or a loved one but when you really think about it, isn't death really a good thing. Tossing aside spiritual beliefs of heaven and being with the Lord, I have come to realize that death is necessary. Whether we want to admit it or not, death is a means of population control. Think for a moment what the world be like if everyone lived forever? How long would it be before the world became overpopulated? How long would it be before there was a food shortage? A water supply shortage? Keeping these things in mind, is death necessary?

No greater threat to civilization exists than the apocalyptic menace of nuclear terrorism. The fragility of twenty-first century civilization since 9/11 and the USA invasion of Iraq, and its frightening vulnerability to terrorist groups linked to Al-Qaeda and Osama bin Laden, waging jihad in the name of Islam. With unlimited funding made available through Swiss banks, harboring no restraint on the use of a nuclear weapon, and determined to inflict maximum carnage on the people of the United States, the jihadist followers of Osama bin Laden plan a genocidal conspiracy with the ultimate weapon, a nuclear bomb of unparalleled destructive power.
Think of a dark possibility: Al-Qaeda and its network of Islamic terrorist organizations joining forces with the rogue nations of North Korea and Iran and the murky underworld that characterizes the nuclear weapons black market, in a conspiracy involving nuclear terrorism in its most lethal form.

The baby Judas was possessed by a demon who caused him to bite people, if none were around, he'd bite his own hands, arms, feet,etc. Judas sat down next to Jesus one day & wanted to bite him but couldn't. So he slapped Jesus on the right side and Jesus cried out. In that instant Satan came out of Judas & was ealed..This was Judas Iscariot. The side on which Jesus was slapped is the side the Roman soldiers had pierced with a spear when Jesus was on the cross. Very interesting! This is research Glenn Kimball did on the childhood of Jesus. What do you think of it?

Yeah I know going to upset you all with this one, but hear me out... I am not talking little green men and flying saucers here, but who is to say "God" is not a supreme being from another time or place or dimension.
Whose to say we are not a science experiment in a laboratory dish. Whose to say that we wasn't transported to this planet from another dimension or galaxy. I would just love to hear what you think.
I don't wish to offend the god believers, I am still sitting on the proverbial fence, getting splinters in my butt, looking at all possibilities, that's all.

Why do religious people ask "Why are there so many atheists asking questions in the religion and spirituality section". I count 400 variations when I prepared for this question in the We have found similar questions. If they really wanted to know the answer, wouldn't the database of answers created by yahoo answers and the overwhelming 400 choices of question be a good start?

It seems to me all of the confusion is coming from that fact that the Bible seems like it is missing over 2000 pages or something. Don't get me wrong it's a good read, nice science fiction for the time period and for being over 2000 years old but it just seems like a lot of the content is missing. Does anyone have any idea where the rest of it could be?

I'm NOT religious in anyway, so I actually find it offensive. You have to understand that I grew up in Mexico and when someone sneezes, no one says "Bless You" in Spanish; People say, "Salud" which means, "Health". What about when someone sneezes? I can't tell them "Bless You" either. What do YOU think?

Ok it says God created Man in his Image, and gave Man a soul thus being a part of God, we are all a part of God and he loves us as a good father loves his small little sons and daughters yes we are all little kids to God, iLets say your a father a good father and your 4 or 5 year old son or daughter does something bad do you just stop loving them No you send em to their room or ground them for a little bit or put them in time out. Gods love is like that He loves you as a good father loves his son or daughter. How God feels aboutthe bad stuff we do Is the same as a good Father with a misbehaved teenager but some how that father does not give up and he contiues to love his daughter or son. How God feels about us doin horrible things to the earth, well lets put it this way how would you feel if you spent countless hous on a work of art and somebody comes along and destroys it just imagine, thats my oppinion whats your oppinion on Gods Love?

Please be respectful. Everyone one should be able to laugh at oneself but if the joke is written in the spirit of hatred it will be obvious. Ok here's one I remember.

There was a Catholic priest, Protestant minsiter, and a Jewish Rabbi all discussing how much of the tithe they keep for the church & how much they give to God.

The Catholic goes first saying, "Well I draw a circle and throw the money up in the air and what falls inside the circle I keep, and what falls outside I give to God. Then the protestant says, "Well I also draw a circle and what falls outside the circle I keep, and what falls inside I give to God". Last the Rabbi proclaims, "I just throw the money up in the air, and whatever God wants, he can take."

I'm not saying that one scripture is more important than the other, but I love the idea in this passage. The words seem so perfect.

Rom 5:6 For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.
Rom 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die.
Rom 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
