It said in the Bible when they tried to question Him about the adultress he first knelt down to write something on the ground.

When you are at a restaurant/cafe and you are being waited on, name at least one and no more than three qualities you look for that will sway a big(er) tip in their favor.

If he is a completely independent being nothing would affect him (prayers, humans, etc). If he is a dependant being he changes depending on what is affecting him.

Seems to me an independent God inherently could not exist, and a dependent God is no real God.

As in, a close friend says they're doing such and such with so and so, and you ask, "Can I join?"

What is the latest you will call someone or be civil when someone calls you? Do you even have a rule?

For instance, the absolute latest I will pick up the phone is 7pm but am generally not happy when someone calls that late.

What is the rule in your household? Does the rule change if you have a cellphone?

Seriously I mean no disrepect and I am a Catholic American. Many members of my family have fought for and yes died for our country. There is no other country in which I would rather live but I do wonder. We have strayed so far from our ideals, from our founding fathers plans, and from all that is moral and good. We do fit many of the descriptions given. I once heard a Homily a sermon if you prefer that term where a priest stated that America had gotten so bad that he felt God might need to apologize to Sodom and Gommorah on Judgement day if He let us continue in our wickedness. How do you feel about this?

do you believe that you can "jinx" some things by getting ahead of yourself?

and if something you wanted to happen did become reality, was it as good as you thought it would be?

Well, not entirely right. After all, Gaea can't have created the entirety of the universe if Odin or someone else did it, but what if all the BC gods are the real ones, and they're kind of miffed that they've been deprived of their ancient powers by the might of Jesus, a man who opened the floodgates to the netherworld, absorbing all of its powers?!?

... ... well then I guess for all intents and purposes that's just athiesm. Guess there was no point to the question. I guess the end all is, "how much did this question offend or annoy you?"

There's a hypothetical religion out there (sure, let's just say it's yours) that is completely right. And agnosticism, which says you don't know (or alternatively, cannot know). Since agnosticism doesn't posit any specific interpretations of the universe, it can simultaneously be true along with the theoretical religion...

Oh wait, subaspects about that religion that simply sugguest less than the full hypothetical religion would also be truth. DAMN! Well, you know what I mean.

FIND TRUTH IN THE ALLMIGHTY MAYBE!

For the people that have payed attention and understood this discution,(and i know it was tough for some of you, it got pretty deep)

the conclusions we must draw

1 god is all knowing, we don't have freewill, people who go to hell are bound by fate to do so

2 god is all knowing, we do have freewill, god knew some people would go to hell, but didn't try and change them just let them go to hell

3. god is not all knowing, we do have freewill, but god still knew some people would goto hell and created them anyway.

no matter how you look at it nobody can be blamed for going to hell. We are here cause god put us here, and let us choose what to do. Therefore he cannot punish us if we don't do what he wants

Its like giving a kid a gun, and punishing him for shooting himself with it.
If you don't think this makes sense, you need to think harder
if you look closer you'll see that this makes sense, Christianity doesn't!

The Bible was written over the course of many centuries by many different authors. It is obvious that so many things are exaggerated. Example.....something about Noah putting every male/female animal in an ark? I didn't know that Noah traveled to the Americas or Australia etc etc......And wasn't it found in writing that Judas was not the traitor that the Bible said he was? Am I blind? Should I believe in scientology cuz it's in a book?
