An obvious answer, posing a threat to what was considered divine truth. It did have reason behind it. The sun from Earth looks small, and appears to circle us every day. Now he could come up with all the evidence he wanted but a true man of faith holds firmly that the word of God is truth, plus it was seemingly obviously contrary to popular knowledge, so he went to jail. Now nearly 500 years later anyone who agrees with the church from that time is obviously wrong no matter what looks true and is either ill informed or a stubbornly ignorant person. Religion was obviously a knowledge suppressor at this point and bigotted peoples views so they couldn't even consider hard evidence. Does this sound similar to a current arguemeant about creation and the origin of species (hint)? Doesn't it seem just a matter of time until another outdated theory is shot down no matter how much false reason it has? If you disagree still then I just ask you to keep an open mind, I don't want to convert you.

So many people just let doors slam in each other's faces as they walk through them. Do you think American society is steadily getting less polite or were we always this way? Although "politeness" is relative, aren't there common courtesies that span most regions and cultures?

But we don't treat each other like brothers and sisters?

Have you seen the Calvin and Hobbes comic where Calvin says "if I never care about anything, I will never be upset when things go wrong" or something like that. I'm in a situation now where if I care, and do the right thing, I will be upset, and I could possibly upset other people. If I don't care, and don't do anything, I will be happy and all the other people will stay content. This is a hard decision, any ideas?

Yes, I asked the question. If the flood did destroy everyone on the face of the earth (other than Noah and his family), the only possible way to explain the differences in color/physical features is evolution isn't it?

Like, it states they should cover their head; so why don't they do it?

It says: 'every woman who prays or prophesises with her head uncovered dishonours her head'? Do women just read the bits that say men must submit?

I am beginning to form a sort of theory (If you want to call it that) of our purpose as humans. Why were we created diversely and differently? Perhaps the purpose is for ethnic groups to bond together in an attempt to save his or her own race. Through history we have experianced that racial mixture does not seem to work, because no matter what there is always racism, sterotypes, etc. By building our country's economy, we are furthur helping an imminient war; the war to end mankind.

If you think I am crazy or whacko, I assure you I am not. I am simply a teenager who is forced to think about things...because with knowledge comes thought. I am very confused about the makings of humans and the purpose of our existance. Please agree, disagree, question, or comment! I look forward for any ideas!

What is the criteria that we must use in knowing when it is acceptable to throw out the label hypocrite in our conversation with someone whose world view is different from ours.

We see in the New Testement that Jesus used this word often. So if you believe in the Lord and Savior Jesus the Christ, what was Jesus's criteria.

You guys are in for a rude awakening if you discover God has a sense of humor.

Anyway, if you have a strong faith in God, you wouldn't get mad if someone questions your religion

Many parents don’t allow their kids to watch various TV programmes or movie films, or read certain books, because they contain too much hatred, violence, killing, and murders which may cause negative thoughts and behaviour in their children.

However these same parents allow their kids to read the Bible, yet the Bible contains some of the worst hatred, violence, killing, and murders ever witnessed in Humanity. Certainly the Bible also contains some nice parts as do many of these other books, TV and films.

Why the hypocrisy when it comes to the Bible? In a child’s mind, hatred, violence, killing, and murders are all troublesome, yet the Bible is by far the worst offending material ever written.
