I am talking about all of them in general. Do you think they give a good example of what an atheist, agnostic, etc truly is?

as the bible was originally in hebrew ( i think ) and then translated into latin and greek, and then into the english version i can understand, i feel it would be virtually impossible for everything to be as intended. If you translate a poem and you want to keep the meaning close to the original, usually you have to lose the rhyme, and so lose the instrinsic qualities of a poem and turn it into prose. ( either that or try to keep a rhyme scheme and stray further from the source text in order to make it fit )Therefore there might be some passages in which the intention is altered. I've heard that hebrew is both a very metaphorical, lyrical and poetical language, so i worry i am missing out on a lot .

What if your child wanted to be a Catholic or Buddhist monk or nun?Or a Missionary or a Muslim? What if your child became an Atheist, Agnostic, Pagan, Christian, ect...Whatever it is you are not? How would you react? I am not asking if you would like it or if you would approve of it but would you support your child?
Peace Be With You,
Debra

If one life can be saved it would be worth it. Every year people die from being hit in the head with golf balls and clubs, being struck by lightning and golf cart accidents.

Do hetero sexuals choose to be straight?
I mean Christian theorist beleive You are not born gay it is a behavior and a choice. SO by all means isnt it the same thing. Heterosexuality is a behavior, Heterosexuals choose to sleep with the opposite sex that they are attracted to. Despite the fact they were born being attracted to who they were attracted to they choose to have sex with the opposite sex therefore heterosexuality is a choice.

Suppose someone you knew fairly well, who shares your faith (or lack there of), was an active alcoholic some five years ago. They have abstained from any sort of alcohol for those five years.

A) Should they call themselves an alcoholic? Why/Why not?

B) Would you encourage them to drink alcohol in moderation? Why/Why not?

C) Would you want to see them continuing to go to Alcoholics Anonymous? Why/Why not?

OK, now let me see if I got this straight, because what it sounds like you're telling me is that God sent His boy to His people so that His people could kill His Boy in order to save them from the wrath of.....God.

I don't remember where I found this quote, but struck me as simple, yet precise.

I understand that many of you have been deceived. The statistic was not of my own findings. Telling the truth isn't always easy. I accept that. I love all of you so much. Every single one of you I do not want to know that I have not done everything to give you the truth even if you do not accept it. Jesus loves you all so much and my passion for people dealing with homosexuality is so great because I have a friend that is. O if I could only express in words the love that burns through me for all of you. I want to see all of you in paradise. I care for your very souls as does Jesus that is why I have such a deep love for people because he does and he lives inside of me.For those who do not recognize love for what it is there is nothing I can say to make you see the truth. Just remember if any of you need a friend to talk to I am here. I know all of you are searching and in a great deal of pain. 2nd commandment Do not make a God to suit yourself because then he wouldn't be God would he?

In many of the answers I've gotten and answers of other questioners I've read in the Religion & Spirituality section, (not all but, a lot of) Christians couldn't care less about Nature. - I find this troubeling because the Earth is the only place in the cosmos where humanity can exist. If the Earth is destroyed, humanity will likewise no longer be.

When God gave man dominence over the Earth, wasn't that actually the RESPONSIBILITY to PRESERVE and PROTECT IT?

Adam was given the "dominence" BEFORE the Serpent, CORRECT?
