Thy shall not Kill.
GOD gave Mankind the Authority to Make Laws.
GOD Judged the World, and except for Noah and his Family, found them Guilty and Worthy of Execution.

What happens to the people in the world who haven't heard of the religions such as Christianity(others too) that say you have to accept the Lord into your heart to go to heaven? Such as the Native Americans before the Europeans came and brought religion. And other cultures cut off from the rest of the world without having heard of any of these mainstream religions. Where do they go when they die?

Without criticising other holy books and religions and without saying that god told someone else to write it. That is not proof. There is no point saying that I should not question it either, because this is a questions site, and this is the correct category.

I am not an athiest by the way.

Well can you?

To each person's understanding according to their need.

My beliefs must be consistent with a scientific reality and yet accept the unknown: spirit, ethics, thought, other intangibles.

Science can only go so far, at the moment. In time, processes may be developed to allow us to scientifically explore concepts which, now, are considered religious.

Till then, personal experience and intuition guide our personal exploration of the mysterious intangibles.

Faith in books, stories, legends and myths is just one of the ways of getting there. Introversion (searching within ourselves for truth) and Immersion (devoting ourselves to living Life to the fullest) are two others.

Whatever brings us to an acceptance of Love as our primary strength is good. Love for ourselves, Love for others, Love for our world and all Life.

Any faith that rejects the power of Love is a flawed system.

Christians claim that the homosexual life style goes against the Biblical Principles. They are right. But isn't the Atheist lifestyle also against Biblical Principles?
Since Christians are doing this because of principle, shouldn't they also try to ban Atheist Marriage?

If Adam and Steve are allowed to Marry, its possible that children of Christianw might get the idea that homosexuality is acceptable.

Isn't there a Danger that Atheist/Agnostic Jim Darwin and (insert atheist girlfriend name here) might get married, and that the chidlren of Christians might get the idea that Atheism is acceptable.

Additionally, because this is about the Bible, and not homophobia, should synogogs not be allowed to marry, and mosques?

Since this isn't about homophobia, but about the Bible, and homosexuality is incompatible with a Biblical lifestyle, along with Jewish people, Atheism, and Islam?

But I was talking to my friends about it...yeah that's right, I talk to my friends about names...and they laughed at it! wth! So, I need to know. What do you think of it? Is it an awesome name? Even a middle name? lets see some answers here!

Are these merely flaws in His Intelligent Design? But why would God's Design have flaws to begin with?

I'm confused. And since I'm looking for opinions (obviously), please present yours as cogently and persuasively as you can. Insults and rants will be ignored. Thank you.

Based on my last question, I had to ask. As an atheist, I don't worry about being judged in the next life. I have to worry about being judged now. Does the fear of final judgement make people moral? Would the lack of the fear of damnation cast some people adrift without a moral compass? If you can absolve all you sins, does that allow you to commit them? Since I don't fear Gods' wrath, why do I still have a moral compass? Or does it all boil down to conscience?

the most languages in the world knows. That was kind of worded badly but I couldn't think of another way to say it. Anyone have an educated guess? Or know how many languages it is possible to know? Would it be possible to learn every language in the world (of course only the ones that are still alive and you have access to)? Thanks.
