do you believe in atoms even though you can't see them? Yeah, scientists say you exist, but why do YOU believe them?

Not trying to offend anyone...just trying to get a better perspective. Sorry if I am.

Liz Curtis Higgs wrote several books on descriptions of some of the not so nice ladies from the Bible like Delilah. I was wondering if anyone read it and liked it.

Every time I come on Yahoo answers theres always some one talking about how they hate the opposite sex from there race and how they would never date them because they're this or they are that. Is it a case of making them look bad so people of other races won't go after them and you can have them all to yourself? Personally I'm Puerto Rican and I love Puerto Rican women.

Curious. Do we restrain ourselves when it comes to fascism, terrorism, racism, sexism...?

If someone believes in the inherent superiority of his/her religion, and that everyone else is doomed, why should this belief not be challenged? Isn't self-righteousness a cause for social problems?

If you don't want your beliefs challenged, why expose those beliefs to a group of strangers?

I've been researching religions a lot lately, and I just came across Baha'i. I read that it started in 1844 and that the followers are called Babis. I was also reading, and what I found most interesting, is that they believe all religions come from the same source; they're all the work of one God. They don't believe in spirits and angels, and feel that Heaven and Hell are symbolic conditions of the soul, not real places.

I find this particular religion very interesting. I would like to hear what other people know about it, and possibly if anyone follows this.

For those replying...it's great that you have strong beliefs in your religion, but don't reply if you can't enlighten me with more information about Baha'i. I already know enough about Christianity, I'm interested in Baha'i.

If God calls you to be single, will he not give you a desire to have a mate? Any ideas on how to find your soul mate- assuming of course he isn't calling you to be single

Do tend to feel burdened by guilt much of the time or are you able to learn and move on from your mistakes and shortcomings?

When you put yourself or your religion on a pedestal...it makes you an easy target.

The religion bashing, that is. Some silly boy asked us to convince him that being gay is ok. One lovely character responded with "sorry, but the bible says it's bad." Full stop, end of story.

So my question is - just because it's in the bible, it's ok, even if it's horrific, mean, rude, hostile, nonsensical, etc.? Really and truly, that makes it all ok?

Seems like we have a shrinking number of them in recent years, a time when we most need them. Who do you consider to be a modern day iconoclast and why?

What if geopolitics, war, or terrorism interrupts the flow of fuel to gas stations for 2 weeks. What is your plan B? Will you be so busy trying to commute to work (assuming your job continues to exist with transportation shut down) you won't think about demanding that your government do something NOW?

Remember, before the first week is over, there will be no goods left on the store shelves.

What will you do, not knowing how long this will last? I picked two weeks because if it doesn't get solved within that timeframe, the big cities will degenerate into chaos.
