in some kind of riddles to be interpreted by scholors of the bible?Does'nt he want as many people to believe in him as possible?Does he just want the elite few that can understand the bibles meaning?Why does he make himself so mysterious to the people whom would believe in him if they could see or feel something in which they have never experienced before? I myself have been a little borderlined on believing or not believing,yet I do see things in the big picture, that there is more than what surrounds me. I'm not saying there is an explaination for everything,yet some things are a no brainer!!. I do like math and science and I believe that has alot to do with my sceptism. It's hard for me to believe anything I can't touch,see,or smell?[Even then I have questions]So why did'nt God simplify his existence?I can't believe in blind faith.

A recent article on livescience.com says that the U.S. ranks next to last in understanding genetics and accepting Evolution. Why is that? It's very easy to understand. First you have to look at "Artifical" selection, which is something humans do.
Just look around you right now at dogs, cats, cows and even wheat and corn. There are hundreds of different variety of these organisms. We encouraged one type and discouraged another. In just a few thousands years, look at the variety of life.
Now if such a change happened in that short of time, just imagine what happens when "Natural" selection, a process that takes BILLIONS of years. Look around at all of the beauty of the natural world. Evolution is right in front of you. It's up to you to accept it or not.
Most modern religions will not allow you to accept this. So which is wrong, Science or religion? If we claim to be the most intelligent species on the planet, we must accept the discoveries made by Science.

Is it stupid to even think that the antichrist could possibly come out of our america?Many americans think that is absurd. But consider this, the antichrist is suppossed to win the world over because he suppossed to be this great man who will bring hope to all our world problems. The world will marvel and follow him and think he is a great man! This can never happen with someone from the middle east or china ! The world does not trust them period! I mean what perfect way to do this than a us president! We suppose to stand for truth and justice right? I can totally see a us president winning the world over! This question is not meant to offend,but to consider a possibility. What if we get a president that can bring peace to the middle east? Won't you be a little worried?What if he started solving our economic problems? We would be no different from the people of germany. We will believe in him in just as they believed in Hitler! Think about it. Why not the US ? Why another country?

would it worth the risk of losing what you have now? For example I hate sitting in traffic, if I get in the lane that's moving slow, I try to think about as this could be life altering..anything could happen in seconds..those few extra seconds in traffic could change what happens to me. I hope that doesn't sound crazy. The point was , would it be worth taking back time?

I accept the possiblility of Purgatory (latin for "through fire" I believe) for the cleansing of man before entering heaven. I accept the valid arguement of the Catholic church.
I accept that Jesus is Judge and that all must "go through Him to enter into heaven."
These beliefs defend God as Righteously Jealous (He is just so Good).
Can you then attempt to sway me with scripture?
Consider this threoretical salvation for believers of different religions.

Matthew 15:22-28 - http://www.newadvent.org/bible/mat015.htm
there are noteworthy points:
1) lack of mercy and love charged against Jesus (if the incident is reportedly correctly)
2) Degraded discrimination in regard to the uplifting of his tribe and not for the other (but that is the way of Christians against every other releigion)
3) Tribal pride of descendance and prejudice aainst others and calling them dogs.
4) An ignorant polytheist woman debated with and wom him over

Was it different after Jesus?
Do we just understand God better?

“(Moses said): ‘Each man strap a sword to his side. Go back and forth through the camp from one end to the other, each killing his brother and friend and neighbour’. The Levites did as Moses commanded, and that day about three thousand of the people died.” (Exodus 32:27-28, NIV)
It is also a well-known fact that the total number of deaths that took place in ALL the wars fought during the time of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) was 1018. The biblical quotation given above and many such quotations appear to escape the grasp of those who allege against Muhammad (pbuh), further ignoring the words of Jesus:
“Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgement ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.”
(Matthew 7:1-2 KJV)

Why can't people accept the fact that they die? It's so simple to end a person's life...and everyone seems confident about it...when they are in hiding. It's sickening.

My daughter has moved back in with me a few months ago, and she's giving me so many problems! We were apart for three years, she lived with her dad in califorina. She wanted to move in with him because i started seeing someone she didn't approve of. Her dad now lives with his girlfriend, and she started giving them promblems so he sent her back to me. She hates georgia and she misses her friends and family. She fights and yells all the time! She has five brothers that she can not get along with, and she has my five year old running away from her. She talks back and has no respect for no one! She even called me a ***** and when i try to hit her she fights back and rasies her hand at me. I have tried everthing to get along with her but nothings works! I have already lost three years of her life, so the thought of sending her off somewhere bothers me. How can i reach her and what can i do???
