With more people living in California than in Canada, and roughly 100 people have died related to the heat, does anyone believe the garbage about bodies piling up?

I mean, does 100 people make a dent of the thousands of people that die everyday from a population of 40,000,000 people?

It is generally believed by Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Islam, Christianity) that man is the only animal on Earth with an immortal soul (please correct me if I'm wrong). If billions upon billions of other creatures are allowed to live and die with neither salvation nor comdemnation, why is it so hard to believe that there is any other purpose for humans than to live, multiply, and die?

I am so confused, I hear people say the Muslim religion is a peaceful one, and others say Muslims are taught from day one to PRETEND to love everyone, but they really don't.....what's the REAL deal?
I want to beleive they really do love everyone, then I remember hundrends of Muslims dancing and laughing in the streets of New York on 9/11.....even small children were celebrating! Was this just a small group, or did it reflect the feelings of the entire culture?

His skin of brozne, head of wool, and eyes of Fire? There is no real truth of the "only begotten son", If there is no true infromation about a persons life over time, you can fabricate what you want others to believe, It's like giving a baby a pacifier, to stop them from crying. So what truths do you really know about Jesus, the bible has been written in many versions and has been tainted so many times, it's not reliable. If you find out about his life from 14 to 32 you will know the real Jesus, the Messiah, who had to find his innerdivinety, nothing is just bestowed upon us, If you seek, you will find, Jesus had to seek, to find God. Don't you search for truths or do you let them come hit you in the face.
Think about it before you answer.

Bacteria were pretty much the first organism around and they've always been the best organism at reproduction.

If natural selection essentially chooses mutated traits that improve an organisms ability to reproduce, then why did anything evolve beyond bacteria.

I keep hearing muslims saying that they believe that Jesus was a great prophet in a long line of prophets, but muslims seem to believe the very opposite of many of the things Jesus taught. for example, Jesus taught that marriage should be between only one man and woman, while muslims believe in men having four wives. Jesus was totally against divorce, while Islam permits it. Jesus taught there is no marriage in Heaven, while muslims believe men are rewarded in Heaven with multiple virgin brides. Jesus preached love and forgiveness of everyone, including ones enemies, but muslims believe in vengeance. There are many more examples, but these should illustrate the point of the question.

Those people had Days of warning to evacuate, why in the hell did they stick around. And why should I help pay to rebuild their homes. My home was flooded in 1996 but no one helped me because it wasnt a wide spread disaster, just about 100 homes. What makes the difference. My insurance didnt cover anything and it all came out of my own pocket... im not blaming the government, i dont expect a hand out... why should they????

If someone told you that they would date a non-Christian but would not marry one, would you date them? Would you assume their views would change, or not risk the probable heartache? Would you "convert" to please them?
