1 Samuel 15: 3
Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.

If God (as represented in the Old Testament) is perfect, loving and good then can anyone find perfection and goodness in this verse? Ok, let's assume those babies had to die in order to prevent them from becoming "evil". But that theory doesn't fly because plenty of "evil" people are allowed to exist. If the babies had to die for the greater good of mankind then why couldn't God just painlessly zap them away or let them go to sleep peacefully if they weren't meant for this world? Wouldn't that be a more loving approach? That's why I don't believe the Bible can be the exact and final word of God. Otherwise, God would be less than perfect. I think the people who have had Near Death Experiences give a better picture of God then some of what is in the Bible.

if we evoLved from apes then why are there stiLL apes?

everytime an evolutionists tries to teLL me my precious Bible might only be 90% true i give them this genius question "if we evoLved from apes then why are there stiLL apes?"

Then they teLL me that there was a group of apes that Lived in an enivironment where having human characterisitcs menat you had a better chance of reproducing, and there was another group of apes that Lived in an environment where having ape characteristics meant you had a better chance of reproducing.

Then i say "Oh." because it makes a lot of sense

A lot of folks here say that you can't end a sentence with a preposition.?

Why do we have that rule? For those of you who say we can't end a sentence with a preposition, would you actually say these questions to your friends?

At what are you looking?
For what did you do that?
In which door did you go?
On which clothes will you put?

Will religion destroy mankind or will mankind destroy religion?

Logic and reason seem to have taken the upper hand in most developed countries at the moment, but the US appears to be sliding dangerously back in time.
Do you agree?

Armageddon?

Hi, does anyone know if the Jehovas witness still think ARMAGEDDON is just about to happen? And if they have an exact date yet?

I'm thinking about taking out a large loan for a new car and trying to work out how many payments I'd have to make.

Ladies, if you got to know someone for awhile on the internet, would you send them a pair of your stockings?

Or pantyhose? I have heard from a few women that they got this request from men that lived out of state from them and they did send them some. Does the thought turn any of you women on? Maybe sending them with your perfume on them. Is it intriguing knowing you've never met this person or is this something that is a turn off to you?

Why won't people accept Zeus as their lord and savior?

Marrying your sister, then cheating on her, jealousy, spite and revenge are very admirable qualities in a diety. Sure, He's not perfect, but who is?

If everyone thinks that we live in a world where political correctness has gone mad, why do we put up with it?

For instance, not being able to display your national flag without being labelled some sort of racist. It seems that the people who this is meant to offend couldn't care less and it's the 'do gooders' who create the tension and bad feeling by blowing things out of proportion

Unlike any other creature, I know right from wrong. Why are we alone in this knowledge?

In all the hundreds of millions of years that species have had to evolve, why have none evolved to have a conscience and knowledge of right and wrong? Why are we so rare among all the creatures that have ever lived? Call it God or call it conscience, but something "speaks" to me every time I have to choose between doing something right or wrong! Whether it is God or conscience, why isn't it as common among other species as eyes, brains or a digestive system? Why only mankind?
