Religion is basically a myth, with some truth thrown in for good measure. The myth provides such enormous psychological comfort to the believers that, with the partial truth thrown in, the entire religious structure appears to be as real as the shining sun at noonday. It is all based on the ENORMOUS PSYCHOLOGICAL COMFORT that the myths generate.

Do Tele- evangelists have so much money?
I asked this question:

and Granny’s answer was actually very nice but it made me wonder if a Godly life is to be lived outside of prince’s palace among the poor and down-trodden (which I think is great) then why does Joel Osteen and the like drive fancy cars and live in big houses?

The computer operates in a logical manner. Logic says that many of man's inventions--like the clock, or the computer-were just copied from nature. Logic also says that these copies have designers/ makers.

IF THESE COPIES HAVE DESIGNERS/ MAKERS, WHAT ABOUT THE ORIGINALS?

But, no. For strange reason--probably due to brain mal-functions--atheists would deny that there is a designer/maker for these orginals.

I really can't undertand. Can you???

I would say that I have 2 causes that really pull at my heart strings. One as many can guess is homelessness because I have been there. The other is prolife, this is because my mother is struggling with this 30 years after the fact. I do not judge women who feel they must choose this I just fear for them and their lives and children. What do you feel pulls at your heart the most?

A brilliant scientist dies and at the gates of heaven he asks to speak to God. God appears and the scientist says, "You are no longer needed on Earth because science has learned how to do everything that you do. We can even create a man from mud."

"Really?" says God. "That I'd like to see!'

So God took the scientist down to Earth and asked the scientist to procede.

The scientist bent over to gather up some mud, but God protested. "Hold on there, bucko, get your own mud!'

If an alien race(s) actually resides in our planet, why or who or what is stopping them to show up in public and say...TAKE US TO YOUR LEADER...or something like that....if they are so advanced why they just show up and say...ok humans you are so screwed up we will take over the earth for the better...or worst...If it is a take over the planet process designed to accomodate us in such a way that when the time comes we will be ready mentally and physically for the big change...how many more years we have to endure this psychological and emotional suspense.???
I am trying to keep an open mind but, personally I do not think creatures from another planet are actually here...If they want to really help..as some one mention...let them stop the human madness, the hunger, the killing, the hate at once an let us work together to make this a better world..or if they want to have humans as slaves, let them try...I will assure you they will get their *** kicked.....Do U believe?

My taiwanese fried and I discussed how, in America as kids or immatire adults we make fun of asians by saying "ching chang chong" or we can just imitate something similar to chinese, or japanese (depending on whom you are making fun of.) It;s also prtty easy to make fun of Indians, Germans, clicking languages in Africa, whatever it may be. But do people in other countries make jokes about how stupid people who speak English sound? And I don't mean English english, I mean American English. No ebonics or southern redneck accent either. Just standard American English, like the way they speak on the news. If anybody knows what this might sound like I'm really curious, and I swear I won't be offended.

For instance, the oil prices went up when the FEAR of a hurricane in the Gulf was announced. OH wait! No hurricane! Prices did not drop though! Then, the fear of Israel's strike on Lebanon POSSIBLY causing Iran/Syria or other "oil nations" to cut supply. This didn't happen. However, the Alaska pipeline debacle DID happen, and they're raising prices AGAIN! How can they do that when prices never came back down for the hurricane that never happened, and the supply disruption from the Middle East never occuring?!?! Someone, please help me understand, or just at least spike the price of oil to some absurd number and LEAVE IT THERE so we can all budget our finances accordingly!!
