Of course this happens in the inner city all the time. Why then are people quick to negate a belief? I could care less if someone loves JEsus or lives by astrology. Who cares, my life has more important things to focus on like getting paid to sit here and ask and answer questions. My true question is What do you Abhore about people most....if you say"people that ask stupid questions or something a$$holiphic or something that matches your IQ thats fine.

I recently read the famous book by Lee Strobel called "The Case for Christ," and the case presented is generally conclusive that the Gospels and New Testament represent historical fact. However, in the book, the scholars he interviews each have a personal faith in Jesus, he doesn't interview any critics of the historical case for Jesus only presents criticisms himself, and some of the evidence provided in the book is theoretical rather than based on solid fact. I was just wondering generally whether the historical case for Jesus was generally recognised as a strong case, or whether there is wide criticsm and skepticism from theologians, scholars, and so forth, especially since the book was published (1998) directly or indirectly with it. Thanks.

Why are people still aping Arabic traditions in parts of the world where they are frankly just out of place.
The Jewish, Christian & Islamic religions are all middle-eastern exports based on the notions and ideals of ancient primitive desert nomads who once lived there after all... not at all suited to modern 21st century life and totally at odds with modern scientific knowledge.

I'm trying to figure out if it's really 'kewl' to say crap like wud=would and k=okay and r u = are you ... but there are still several words I don't understand when it comes to this shortened stuff. Is this because of text messaging that words are so ... f-ed up, or am I just behind the times? (Personally, I think some people are just lazy and/or don't know how to type.)
Can someone give a list of the words that are used commonly now so that I can read some of the questions that are posted here?

The "original sin" is thinking one is separate from God... God is everywhere... thinking one is separate from God is like a fish in the sea thinking it is separate from the water... soooo what's with people thinking that everything that is bad or anything that makes us feel good is a "sin"?

It wems tat among the Jews at that time, circumcision was crucial to obeying the Jewish laws.

Question 1 -why was it so important that in order to recruit followers to his Christian cult, Paul had to say that it was not ?

Question 2- How could Jewish women be important in the religion when it would be impossible to circumcise them?

if god is all knowing and all powerful why did he create the world?why did he make the forbiden fruit? knowing that man could not pass the test before them. from the start he gave man free will knowing that man would eat the forbiden fruit, knowing that it would lead to jesus dieing on a cross. why did god create us if he knew we were going to fail, why not save himself the trouble and not make us at all?

what do you think?
for the sake of argument lets just say god does exict

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." [Matt22:37-40]

is this possible since if you did your whole life would be based on the bible and you would do everything you could to not sin.

Before you all cry that this question is wrongly categorized.
The caged bird is of course the Christian and
the free bird is an atheist.

From what I can gather:

The laws regarding sacrifice/offerings used to maintain the relationship with God and for atonement of sin have been replaced by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.

The laws regarding how to live properly, such as how to maintain sexual morality, are still in effect; but some, such as certain practices regarding using animals for food, are not.

Can someone tell me if I am on the right track or way out in left field?

Thanks for your help.

I've heard about how different groups have changed the Bible during certian periods to "tell the story more to their liking"... and how a group picked out the books that would be included in the Bible and which ones wouldn't... and of course the various translations from language to language...

So... what percentage do you think has been changed or altered over 2,000 years?

The odds of it being completely unaffected over that period of time are slim to none... especially since some books weren't even included in our current Bible...

I usually pick logic over faith so I'm atheist but it feels empty. Anyone gotta religion to suggest? Please don't just pick your own religion because it is yours but I want the most logical. I know faith isn't logical but I want one with all the answers.

If it's a religious institution, than the gov. has no bisness saying if Gay/ Lesbian marriage is right.
