Don't Rabbi's have to be married to become Rabbi's? If this is the case, and Jesus was considered a Rabbi, wouldn't marriage have been manditory?

I am Gnostic (not to be confused with AGnostic) and was wondering if anyone could suggest some reading or websites which might help me discover more about my religion.

Wouldn't it make more sense for the women to have multiple husbands? Logically this would make more sense. Beyond that wouldn't it be better to have children bear the mothers name? As is my experience, women are far less likely to leave the child then the man, and as far as the multiple marriage issue, women are harder to satisfy physically, so multiple spouse's for them would make more sense. Given of course that we are no longer in a position where a man laying his "seed" everywhere to assure continuation of the species is necessary. Thoughts? (I'm sure this will be a good one)

Unfortunately, there is the idea in American Christianity (and by this, I don't mean all christians in america) that salvation is a "free pass" to sin like a devil and expect to avoid hell. That is by no means biblical. Atheists, if you see a Christian continuing in a perpetual pattern of willful sin against God's laws, you have good reason to doubt their faith.

Saving faith is born out of a God-given desire to prefer satisfaction in God and all He offers us over the fleeting pleasures of sin and the world. A heaven without God would not be heaven. What makes heaven a desireable place is that it is where God is.

The very faith that justifies us before God is the same faith that assures sanctification (progression towards holiness). The book of James is clear about this, in saying that faith without works is dead faith. Works are not a means to salvation, but they are an evidence.

Seek God because He is the only all-satisfying being in the universe.

Agree / Disagree?

God believers often say "I had an experienced so I know God is real"

That so called "experience" is usually just something they didn't understand so they just dumped it in the God box

I never wanted children, not even when I was a little girl (I played with plastic dinosaurs and microscopes, not baby dolls). I was told repeatedly that I would change my mind.

I never did.

Now, I'm post-menopausal, and very glad I didn't have kids; my heart just wasn't in it, and I'd have made a poor mother (I make a hell of a step-grandmother, though!).

Anyone else share this situation? What was you solution to pressure to have children, if you knew it was wrong for you?

why do you always have to cram your beliefs down everyon else's throats? every single time i read a religion question, there's always someone telling the asker that their beliefs are wrong and that they're condemned to hell because of it. why do you do this? have you tried being open-minded, maybe allowing free thought? WTF?

This is personal point of view and I make no judgments about whether other atheists agree or not.

http://www.adherents.com/Religions_By_Adherents.html
Christians are 33% of the world's population followed by Islam with 21%. The way I see this... if you're a Christian you're telling 67% of the world's population they are going to hell for eternity. I disapprove of looking down on people like that so I choose not to associate with religion. This promotes an I'm right you're wrong and I'm not listening to you point of view in the majority of people.

Nextly, the amount of hypocrisy in religion. The universe cannot have always existed but God can. I'm a Christian but you're a bad person because you're not (Judge not??). I will only follow those parts of the bible that I agree with right now and make up a reason why the rest don't apply now. (i.e. Jesus, that was then this is now).

These are just a few of the reasons this atheist would rather stay apart. Can you understand?

I'm so sick and tired of seeing people argue over their religion on here seriously who gives a flying _______?? No one even knows what is real and what isn't so why argue about something that no one will ever be able to prove or agree upon.

I've been reading the bible a lot lately and the more I read, the more i'm convinced he's attracted to little boys and girls, especially the boys. It kinda sickins me that our lord and savoir would do such a thing, so why are so many of us christians if who we believe in is really just some pervert, wtf?? Crazy f*ckin world we live in.

You can't say the feeling came before the belief because most of you believed in God before you could understand feelings
