Not asking for a religious debate as such, but:

There seem to be more people advocating religion on here than I find in everyday life.

Do you think the proportions are about the same as in real life - just that they're more vocal about it;

Or might any religious types seek out places like this as a forum to spread the word?

Do not take the Bible very seriously...
If you are a Christian and believe that God didn't do it the way he said He did, when do you start believing that the Bible is true?
After Creation, Adam and Eve in the Garden? At Noah and the Flood? Moses and the Red Sea? Joshua at the Jordan, Jericho or when the Sun went back 10 degrees in the sky? Sampson and the slaughter of the Philistines? David and Golliath? The Ark? Solomon's great Wisdom? Jonah and the fish?
Are you starting to get the picture? When do you start believing what the Word of God says? When you like what it says?
What about The Messiah? Promised one from the beginning. Do you start believing the Bible when it talks about salvation? How about heaven? Maybe you will believe Paul, the Apostle chosen by The LORD to succeed Judas? Or John on Patmos? Do you think he was lying when he wrote The Revelation? Just part of it? Maybe he was only telling the truth about the return?
Make up your mind; be for God or against God.

Maybe it was a parent, or a sibling, or a friend and they didn't know you were gay and they walked in on you maybe kissing or doing something else with your boyfriend or girlfriend. Were they shocked, surprised, indifferent,dumbfounded, upset, or okay with it?

I think that I would be...especially if a lot of my friends were willing to do this for me.

I don't know if they really do this in court; maybe I've seen too much television.

I am a gay male and have always wanted to know if the stigma attached to children of gay parents is correct. Do children suffer more, emotionally, having gay parents or is it one in the same whether gay or straight.

I have an old friend who is coming to visit me. I am away at college and the dorm I live in requires $60 PER each night that a guest stays. On top of that, they want a $60 deposit to make reservations for a guest to stay. Is it rude of me to ask for the $60 (deposit that I have to pay) back from my friend, as I am a broke college student- or- should I just pay for it and not ask to be reimbursed? *hope this makes sense*

-Do you think they are like air conditioning on a hot summer day?
-Do you think they are better than your favorite meal when you are starving?
-Do you think they are like a vacation when you have been working for a year straight?
-Do you think they are like a Sierra Mist when you are really thirsty?( Yeah, it's like that.)
-Do you think they are like the feeling when you finally scratch an itch?
I DO! I DO!
If I forgot any comparisons, let me know.

When answering questions about theological contradictions (for example: "If God is benevolent and omnipotent, why does evil exist?") many theists answer that God (or gods) created human beings with "free will". Yet many (not all) of the same theists believe strongly in prophecy, especially in apocalyptic scenarios. If our destiny is predetermined through prophecy, can we truly have free will?

I can admit pure water is chemically H2O. That is irrefutably true.
I can admit electrons pass from one atom to another under conduction. That is irrefutably true.
I can admit that 1+1=2. That is irrefutable truth.
I can admit that in DNA all the code needed to determine a person's physical characteristics are found. Irrefutable at this time.

There is no proof of evolution on the scale that humanists or secular Christians claim. Not one shred of verifiable truth.
God made the universe exnihilo. He did it the way the Bible said He did it.
Where I will differ with other Christians is that Adam and Eve were in the garden for millions of years before they were cast out. They were created perfect and had no decay in their bones. Once they sinned however, that is when they began to die and Adam's years began to be counted.
There is nothing said in the Bible about how long Adam and Eve were in the garden before they began to die.

Evolution is not science.
