Additional questions to this point:

1) How could I convince people that my religion's vision is consistent with God's vision?
2) Since my country is capitalistic and I live in a society of plenty, how can I effectively market the new religious doctrine? Would it be unethical to market to children on television?
3) How could I show seemingly-realistic supernatural events that would be believable in a scientific age?
4) Would I first be required to establish a history of reighteousness through violence?

Good morning, agnostic here not trying to change anyones religion.

As many of you know I am reading the Christian Bible. I also picked up a copy of the Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I note that there is the same empirical evidence for both God/Jesus as there is FSM.

I note that in the Gospel of the FSM that the FSM created and loves everyone, including homosexuals, and that homosexuals will be able to get into the FSM heaven, where there is a beer volcanoe.

So my question is, are you a Pastafarian because you find that you are someone who loves and respects people who are both heterosexual and homosexual, and saw that reflected in the Pastafarian religion.

(Disclaimer: I know the FSM is a parody religion, but this is a serious question, ie - even thou 99% of Pastafarians are atheist/agnostic in reality - does a God that accepts homosexuals appeal to you, even thou you kinda know God isn't real)

Two questions, for everyone. Please answer both questions.

(1) Assuming he's sane, if the suspect in the Ramsey case is found guilty of the charges of kidnapping, rape and murder of the six year old Jon Benet, what punishment do you think he deserves?

(2) What religion are you?

Ok, this might sound completely ridiculous, but in my past relationships/hookups/whatevers I have always been with relatively skinny girls. There is nothing wrong with a big girl. Most of my family is and my best friend was and I saw them naked countless times. But, now I'm dating somebody who is a bit bigger, not by much but not what I've had before and how do I react if we do move to having sex? I dont want to offend her, and I know everything operates the same way. Im not disgusted with her in ANY way, I just dont want to do something wrong or come off rude.

These little brown things are a pain and clog up my pockets and wallet! Are they a symbol of British culture or a waste of space?!

I, myself, my own views on this. I believe that God creates your fate and destiny before you are even born. He knows when, how, and how long you are going to live... What are your views on this.

Imigrants come from all over however a drmatically large percentage come from Mexico. This has stirred a great debate and alot of misplaced resentment.

I have no problem with immigrants form anywhere as long as it is legal. There are many ways we can go about this but I don't think we have come up with any real proactive ideas yet.

we live in a great country and we should keep it that way. Everyone should be able to live in a country like ours. On that note, how can we help Mexico make there country a better place? That way we wouldn't have so many people trying to scramble into America only because they are trying to escape poverty. I think we should spen our dollars on helping Mexico instead of money on border security that isn't working to well. This way, everyone wins

What other "proofs" are out there that people just refuse to believe? I would think something that was proven would have ample evidence to support it's point of view, enough so that it would be wholeheartedly believed. What other things do we have that we have "proof" of that we just toss aside and ignore as being untrue?

We seem to be a nation of ill-disciplined, overweight sloths - would national service improve things? What about yob culture - would it counteract this also? I think it would, but in today's political correctness gone mad, would the human rights brigade ever let it happen?

Religion cannot prove some things that are a deep subject, as for example, if God really exists, if has life the death after... Actually, nobody can it! So, why then the most of the religious people is always trying to prove that these things are true? What is the base, the fact? The bible? Any person that is a bit more instructed would know that the bible for itself has an arguable authenticity...What do you think about this?

All you nutters on here quoting scriptures and blasting everyone else for not believeing dont know a damn thing about religion.

So many of you are claiming that Jesus never sinned when in fact he did sin. The Virgin mary is the only person who never sinned according to catholic teaching.

The trinity does not reffer to 3 gods.

Jesus didnt make the world. God did (that is if you relly believe that crap)

Instead of proffessing that you are holyer-than-thou try to actually learn something about your religion.

The only reason you people are so easy to pick on and discredit is because you guys dont know shlt about your religion.

I have had several prayers answered by God in the name of Yahshua (Jesus) . God has sent angels to me and my family. One of the angels, a young looking male, disappeared right in front of me!!!!! God has also let me see a demon's hand, a vision of hell and a young girl's hand. Maybe my daughter's hand (we lost her a few years ago). No I don't take drugs... never have. If anyone has had any experiences like these, I want to hear from you. I used my faith in God and said certain things in my prayers.. that God answered those prayers. Whan to know more?
Oh yes, God even sent an angel (spirit) to do surgery on me!!! If you or anyone needs healing, contact me and I will tell you how to approach God's throne.
So, If you have had any experiences with God, angels etc. contact me. I am putting all my experiences, starting at 12 years old to present, in a story - book. Thank You.

Matthew 21: 17-19 "And when he saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves only, and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee henceforward for ever. And presently the fig tree withered away. "

Thou shalt not murder.

Did he not just murder the fig tree? Seems like a sin to me.

I couldn't think of a way to explain this question more without skewing what I am looking for. This is a problem at both home and work now. I have sound judgment, but why can't my word or feelings ever be enough.

Good morning, I am an agnostic and not wanting to change anyone's religion.

Question for people who think God is a woman, can you share with us some of the reasoning behind why you think and believe this way?

For those of you who don't think God is a woman, maybe you could just observe other people's answers, this is a question for them, really want to be respectful to everyone and this isn't a question trying to debate God's gender its just trying to learn about people whose belief is different from mine.

we used to drink alone together in my room and we always talked about everything, frm the dumbest things up to the highest state we might ever known, in short we're very close to each other. But now things have been changed... maybe it's my fault because I got fall in love with her... but i really don't know if my feeling is true. I know it's wrong but I really can't help myself.

I was at youth church last night, and they made an alter call for people that wanted to be baptized, and they would discribe what exactly baptizm meant, and so on.

And after a short time they prayed with us, and all three of the adults started speaking in tounges.

I was wondering as they were doing so... What is the significance of praying in tounges, and why do they do it, rather than praying in english?

(this was an Assembly of God church, if you were wondering what the denomination was)
