Especially when someone picks your answer, over someone else who is higher ranked than yourself?

Not the feeling of vanity coz you're smarter, but a good feeling that maybe you made a real difference to someone in need of an answer to their question thats been bothering them.

Sometimes, we're overwhelmed by our own concerns and obligatons, we can't think of the right solution. Even if is right under our nose. Someitmes, we just don't have the experience or wisdom to see something in a different perspective. There is the hope that there is someone out there who may have the answer to our question, and for a minute or two, they may take us seriously and give us a hella good answer.

It may just make their day, that feeling of relief and being able to go on with their lives - and sometimes, the answer is just so funny that it tops off the day on a good note, your troubles aren't as bad as you might of thought.

Please notice that I'm on my best behavior today and am staying impartial on this (for now) and am just trying to facilitate discussion.


Please read the answers that people provided for thee basis of their (dis)belief in god(s):

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060831085442AAeTJtR&r=w

I'm not trying to get you to attack specific answers, but what do you think IN GENERAL about:

1) the bases the atheists provided
2) the bases the theists provided
and
3) the bases the agnostics provided


Is there a theme that you see?
Does this help you understand the difference between these 3 general groups of people?


Thanks for playing along.
I think that this is actually becoming a fruitful discussion.

Believer or unbeliever... shouldn't everyone have read and have a working knowledge of the book that has had the most influence on Western Civilization.
I can see censoring Lott's drunken adventures with his two daughters from eight year olds in a Sunday school class.
I can see side stepping Noah and Ham. (That's if anything actually happened between them. The Jews have been puzzling over this for centuries before the Talmud was written.)
I know reading comprehension is limited especially for those below the 100 IQ, but from reading some of the crap (bullshit actually) posted here, but weren't these people taught something?

Or did god create thousands of different strains of each virus so that he could realise a newer version once an antiboiotic is found?

According to the biblethumpers there is no such thing as evolution so that MUST mean that god is up there scraping new viruses off a petri dish all the time.

God is Psycotic

I have tried to talk to GOD and to Jesus sense I was a kid, and I get nothing.

I hear people always say that they talk to GOD, so why won't he talk to me? I even try listening with my heart, and THAT doesn't work! I have tried reading the bible, torah, and even the tiny fortunes in the cookies. Still, nothing.

How do I get HIS attention? Do I need to yell??

If I die tomorrow, am I screwed?

The groups and cultures I am most prejudiced towards are the ones I have most contact with, while those I have least contact with are the cultures I have the most respect for. Do you think this is a coincidence, or do you think it is a negative consequence of living in a very multicultural place?
By the way, I know my prejudices are wrong, so I would never act on them, instead I have made an effort to learn about other cultures. I was just wondering, because I really don't think our feeble attempt at multiculturalism is working very well. What do you think?

Here's the gist. Back in the old testament days some king of Babylon decided to build a tower that could reach heaven. Now supposedly after a long time of building, God looked down and said 'If I don't stop them now, there will be no limit to what they can do'. So he changed their languages and dispersed the people over the earth.

Now, what happens when you get people together that don't speak the same language or have the same beliefs? Conflict. What do you get when you divide people and make them think they are different from others not like them? Racism.

This is actually a multiple part question.

1. Did God MEAN for/Know what was going to happen when he did it? Or was it a mistake?

2. Did God really think that these ancient people would 'reach heaven' with their tower?

If heaven is some where waaaaay up in the sky. and hell in somewhere waaaay below us, would that mean the core of the earth? but what if there really is life on other planets in other gallexies? They must have a god as well? After all, God supposedly created everything. Where would their hell be? Is their hell in the core of the earth or the core of their planet? and heaven is high in the sky? or is it in a place seprarate from EVERYTHING,beyond where the sky ends (if it even ends) I'm confused....help?

What do you look for when someone asks to work in your church. We have been going to a church for nearly two years and we are gifted with teaching and preaching. My husband is ordained and a chaplin, and I have been a womens and teen minister in the past. Our church has a strong core group and there doesn't seem to be a place for us to work, and it makes us very sad to not use the gifts God gave us.
What do you look for when someone really has a heart for ministry, and just wants to serve.

I want to know why do some atheists spend so much time 'downing' Christianity in efforts to debunk the existence of God and the teaching of Jesus, when all religions, Islam, Buddhism, Judaism, even Native American and African Tribal Beliefs, believe in some form of God and Savior?

I have never, in the 6 years I've claimed Jesus as my Savior, witnessed or been part of a conversation with an atheist who tried to debunk the existence of other religions Gods. Why?

Before I became a Christian, I was an atheist with strict views on all Gods, and not once, at that time, was I criticized or 'downed' for my beliefs. But now that I'm a Christian, I find myself being criticized or 'downed' and having to defend my right to be a Christian to atheists constantly. Why?

** For all who want to know, I stop being an atheist when I was told by a man I loved, "If you don't believe that God exists, where does your morality come from. God is LOVE and you can't know LOVE for me without LOVE for Him."
