Already married ...Look at these muslims they are having a nice sexual life. And even their womens dont mind if their husband marries twice or 4 times...Is it anywhere in New testament that a man can marry more than once?

Yes I know this has been covered a billion times.
I want to approach it a different way though.

The link below gives the case and the evidence for Evolution.
It is not a typical god bashing site, as it is WIKIPEDIA and it is reputable Encyclopedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

It is very understandable and references everything. A rather scholarly piece.

I know that god fearing people ofter get mixed up with what Evolution is.

PLEASE DO NOT GIVE PASSAGES FROM THE BIG BOOK.

I ONLY WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ACCEPT WHAT WIKIPEDIA SAYS.

You are not a good god fearing person if you do not wish to learn.

If heaven is so great, why didn't we just have it to begin with?

To religious people, it sounds like I'm criticising their gods.

That's not it.

I want to know how you can believe things that make no sense to me?

Can I persuade just one person to use reason, not faith?

I asked this to muslim mens and they said they can marry a poor girl to support...So does it makes sense to see a 45 year ol man marry a 15 yr ol girl cause she lost her parents and the ol man is already married twice before..Cant he just adopt her as his daughter or help her by giving her school fees and treating her as his daughter rather than wife.and he's already have a daughter 15 years ol.

Who wrote the bible?
How do u know?
When was it written?
Where was it written?
What was the purpose of writing or complying different books to get the bible?
Ok with what u answered, why do people believe so strongly in a bible that was written when it was, by who it was, where it was, and why it was, and what was in it?
Do u think in your own opinion, not your parents, or what the church tells you, but what you think, if a new one was compiled, what should it contain?

I really hate talking on the phone, but people take it personally when I try to explain this to them. I experience anxiety when someone is waiting for me to call or vice versa. How can I politely end phone conversations that I wish to end after like 10 minutes and long silences??

The wife of Imran (who is not named) gives birth to a girl, who is special in God's sight. She is named Maryam (Mary) and is assigned to the care of Zakariya (Zechariah). Maryam spends her time in her private chamber, where she is sustained by God. Zakariya questions her about this, and Maryam tells him about God's sustenance.

Later on, Maryam withdraws from the family to a 'place in the east'. While there she sees an angel, who appears as a man. This scares her, and she warns him not to come near her if he fears God. The angel tells her that he is actually a messenger from God, and that God has chosen her for the task of carrying a special son, who will be righteous, holy and will speak in infancy. The angel also reminds her to pray to God. Maryam asks how this can happen seeing as she is a virgin. The angel tells her that nothing is beyond God, all he has to say is 'Be' and it is.

I'm attracted to and like girls a lot. I think I'm bi but lean more to liking women then men and would like to try dating girls. But here in my city, I find that most women who are lesbians tend to be "butch" looking. I guess I'm attracted to lipstick and feminine looking lesbians but I can't seem to find any.

"A foolish man will walk down a path and fall into a hole only to fall in again the next day. A smart man will walk down a path, fall into a hole and never fall in again. A wise man pays attention to the world around him. He sees the foolish man and the smart man fall into the hole and avoids it all together. "

I am kind of new to Utah, and this kind of struck me funny how the Mormons baptize dead Jewish people. I have a couple honest questions on this...if you have any good answers, please let me know! I have already read another question related to this, and it seems that the bible sanctions this activity.

1. What benefit do the Mormons get from this? Is it to boost their church enrollment numbers? I don't see why this would be helpful, except to make them look like a more dominant religion than the cult that they are. I say cult because I think it takes a lot longer than a couple hundred years to become "mainstream".

2. Do they do this to other people? Say athiests or agnostics? Why, or why not?

Thank you for your time. To help you help me, know that I am not a believer in organized religion...I personally think it is the biggest scam on Earth, but that is my belief. Please don't be biased against me for that? My questions are out of honest curiosity.
