I ordered a necklace with the Holy Cross attached to it. Somebody told me that it might not suit with my current hair-style(close-clippered buzz). What do you suggest? What about--an undercut,chelsea or horse-shoe flattop hairstyle? Serious answers plz.

One could consider everything in the Bible to be stories like the stories of fiction of nowadays which always have a degree of truth to them. All the miracles or miraculous events that are mentioned violate the rules of Nature and for anyone who does not believe in fairy tales these miracles are quite unnecessary for belief in a supernatural power. But the stories are there to signal the power of the Divine to those who can comprehend it in only such a way. And most believers seem to need this mode of comprehension. Which is fine.

On the other hand even if one does not believe that Jesus existed Christianity offers a framework (church, services, homily, etc) for cultivating a relationship with the divine. It would be something like a Hindu who thinks that Krishna is simply a character from ancient stories.

Okay, me and my friend(we're friends with benefits) where out and he started to talk about some of his exs. And he was kinda gloatin gabout al the Latinas he's been with and he was saying some very slick $hit about how latinas are the best looking women and most other girls can't compare. And he was saying that we can't get serious because he really wants to marry a latina instead of a Black woman.I got really mad at that. Why do Latinos seem to gloat about how they are the best race?

What is the term for the argument that it's best to believe in god so that even if you're wrong you are safe from hell? It's called someone's wager.

I just overheard a conversation one of my relatives was having with someone, in which she claims that homosexuals should not have the right to adopt children. If you share this view, please tell me why. Intelligent and rational answers please. (If you post any homophobic remarks here, I will report you.)

Do you think that by posting questions about religion on here that you are honestly going to sway someone to beleive what you want them to? What is your opinion about people who try to "sway" you thier way? Oh, and if you don't mind, could you please tell me what you believe in? I'm personally Christian, but don't beleive in coming on here and trying to "convert" someone in my faith. I think it's fine whatever you believe. I'm not here to try and "convert" you, I just want you opinion on people who try to...

In a recent article in Time, scientists have seen evidence of what they call a "God" gene. They monitored several priests, monks and nuns over several days. Whenever they were having a "religious" moment, there was a chemical reaction in their brains. There was a release of chemicals that gave them a sense of emphoria and peace.

Now is this gene a direct result of evolution. Maybe several thousand years ago, we started this thought to give people hope. That over the thousands of years, these beliefs were passed down and even incorporated in their genetic code, much like some races of humans are built for warm weather and cold weather.

So the majority of people on this planet now have this genetic code, which allows them to "feel" that they are having a religious experience. When in reality, it is only in their head. Or could this gene be the actual work of God. The proof of his creation...nah.

Why does it seem that about 99% of the time, the people on here(be it Atheist, agnostic, or just those that plain don't believe) who have rude, nasty, hateful, ignorant rantings, and immature comments, don't want to show their contact information? It seems to me, that if you have a nasty comment to make to someone or if it makes you feel bigger to curse at someone or insult them, then you should be big enough to accept the backlash of your statements. Even if I don't agree with the opinion of a non-believer, at least they don't seem to want to give their opinion and then not be willing to accept others opinions or comments back to them. Anyone else agree, that if you can dish out the hateful comments, then you should be an adult and take them?

I have a friend in Canada, who keeps me filled in on what is going on just over the river. Supposedly their anti-hate crime laws now muzzle ministers in their own churches, speaking to their own congregations. If a minister so much as reads from the Bible that homosexuality is a sin, he can be arrested for a hate crime! Even if he is not promoting violence or hatred!

Can anybody confirm this? What would you think about such a situation?
