I presume that he fell before Adam and Eve as to why he appeared as a serpent to them or as I am told. However where everyone points me to in the bible where he fell it also says, when Satan fell he made the earth desolate and took prisoners.

So if he fell before tempting Eve, which prisoners did he take and was Eden protected from him making the earth desolate?

I take it that he must have fallen and was cast to earth on one of the six days of creation in order to be here to tempt Eve in time.

It's either that they are suicidal and hate being alive on this planet, or that they just want an excuse to see everyone they disagree with suffer.

And come to think of it, just how 'christian' is this idea of the Rapture? All the bad people get punished and all the good people get to laugh at them on their magical elevator ride up to heaven?

Is that the way of Jesus? If it is then I'm staying down here on earth and helping Satan make the strongest army ever. (There is no satan. Just saying.)

I believe that Jesus is coming back for those who choose him and love Him. Do you believe?

Looking around I feel the worst false god is "ME" what I want and never mind anyone else. We have become overly self absorbed and selfish. We have forgotten the commandments of LOVE. What are your opinions?How can we get back to being our brothers keepers? For those of us professing Christianity how can we make ME into HE?

People always ask for current evidence of evolution at work... aren't the new strains that develop of various diseases that are resistant to certain treatments/medication just that evidence?

Every time I pick something I want to do for a living they are always things that make you spend years at college. I'm trying to get a decent job from going to college and am currently taking an English class at our local community college (which has the best rating in the country by the way woah!) because that's all I can afford right now to take is one class. But, starting next semester I'm taking 2 classes and the hopefully fall 2007 I can take a total of 3 classes. So, it's gonna take some time before I can actually get somewhere...but I really wanted to be a psychologist and just found out you have to get your masters degree!!! I don't have money for that! It's so disapointing cause everytime I think I'm getting somewhere, financially, I'm shot down. I feel so discourage about my life right now....I'm 20 and just started college....what are some good options for me from people who have been in my situation? What did you do?

Agnostic here, not trying to convert anyone

24 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: cattle and creeping thing and beast of the earth, each according to its kind”; and it was so.
Genesis 1:24 (New King James Version)

each according to its kind

To suggest that we are not to take this verse literally, why do some Jews and Christians and not others?

Again, what is the standard for what Bible verses are literal and what are not. The criteria for what is to be counted as literal and what not has never been given to me. Why not?

That is, when you Squeeze One Off (Farting Out Loud), nobody can tell it was you, even when a particularly nasty rank one goes off, that people start to pass out or start to run for the exits. I'm sorry that it doesn't work when you're in line for the bar, coz most folks are too hammered to care what they are smelling - until its way too late.

We like to exclude nonbelievers from a right to be happy because we know what love is.
We make you feel guilty for being curious about life.
We condemn you for trying to understand anything you want to know that we havnt told you yet.
But we have a great building to pray in and we have cool stories to tell you.

Since Jesus and Joshua in the bible have the same name in Hebrew, Yeshua, why is it that we call one Joshua and the other Jesus? *Just a footnote, Jesus is not the Greek translation of Yeshua, so if you were going to write that please don't.

I get frustrated once in a while, and wonder what other route atheists should take with theists. (Last Q frustrated me: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060810102125AAyWf6C&r=w)

I guess I'm showing too much respect, trying to speak to them with logic and science. In typing this question, the "similar questions" popped up one of my earlier questions: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/;_ylt=ApmYVIH4XmvWpEsmVtBUhzpIzKIX?qid=20060725112659AABiYk3

Which ought to prove that I am going in circles with these people. I need a new approach. What would work better? Or maybe convincing them is a total dead-end? I've posted "Christians, what would make you change your mind?" and they say "nothing." What then? Is it even important enough?

Going on missions that convert others to believe in christianity when they already have a long standing religious belief. ie: Missions to Africa. Sure, they provide food and medical attention which is greatly needed, but why must they push this religion on people?
