I know it may seem wrong to say but alot of blacks and hispanics choose to live off of welfare instead of getting a education and getting a decent job. Many blacks have been on welfare since it first started.

God killed millions of people in a great flood. He killed a whole army in the red sea. He killed his own son on the cross (when you hang on a cross, your lungs fill up with fluid and you drown.)

With all of the millions that drowned in the bible by the hand of god, how come drowning isn't part of the worlds capital punishment?

In the Buddhist religion we believe hell is a state of mind, one of the six in this world. Does any other religion share this belief?

An Excerpt from the "Tibetan Book of the Dead":

We can begin with he realm of hell, which is the most intense. First there is a build-up of energies, of emotions, to a crescendo, so that at some stage we find it very confusing whether he energies are controlling us or we are controlling them. Then suddenly we lose track of this whole race, and our mind is put into blank state which is the luminosity. From that blank state an intense temptation to fight begins to develop, and that paranoia also brings terror. Originally the paranoia and terror were supposed to fight against something, but one is not quite certain whom exactly one is fighting; and when the whole thing has developed, the terror begins to turn against oneself. When one tries to strike out, instead of striking the projection one is striking inward.

Okay, so If I understand what you are all saying, God changed his mind when he sent Jesus here? He told us one things and then later said it no longer mattered what he said before?

This is a matter of opinions, I know that it's technically morning, but I want to know what you'd call it instead. The Dead Hours for example, the best one get's my vote.

Conpassion and forgiveness are taught in a number of religions. Is it “good” or “bad”.
And if it is good, as I believe, why is it not popular in our world.

I believe that someone named "Sean" started the universe. Not God, actually people who talk about God are false prophets, and in my religious book, called "autobiography" these false prophets are prophosized about.

"Sean" created the universe. "Sean"'s prescense, will, if you felt his loving prescense, or saw Sean on a webcam, or heard his voice on the phone, you would believe. Some even dwell in the "house of Sean".

I guess the only way for you to know that "Sean" is real is to ask "Sean" into your life.

Its a leap of faith.

Is it wrong for people who have seen "Sean" or heard "Sean" on the phone, to tell other people that "Sean" is in fact a real "entitity". They can't prove it, to know "Sean" you have to expirience "Sean" for yourself.

Is it wrong or bad that people believe in "Sean".

I guess the difference here is you can click on the jim darwin avatar and send jim darwin and email and sean would email you back.

What do you think of our religion(islam) ?You know in europe and amerika there are many negative ads of us but their not true.in fact in iran we know bin ladan and saddam as terrorists we dont accept them our holy book even doesnt accept them because it says to us to live in pease with every one ,no difference in religion,honour and respect your parents even they dont believe in god and of course theres no difference between shiites and sonits and i think we have no difference to other religions . we pray 5 times a day we have a month of fast and we love peace as we have now in iran completely no woman is complaining about hijab and they think it secures them from bad and wicked eyes. thats it all now whats your point of view?

or the fundamentalists? They seem to live in a world constrained by so many limits. They hold them selves to impossible standards and beat themselves up when they can't make it. Every where they turn there seems to be a big NO or STOP sign. I would not live their lives for anything.

It seems to me that 99% of the time that people tell me that their god(s) have spoken to them, the god(s) have always just told the person what they wanted to hear in the first place.


I know that I'm cynical. I'm agnostic. It comes with the territory.

But have others noticed this pattern?
