Society & Culture - 11 September 2006

I'm just wondering why there's so many people walking on the streets of downtown New York, like Manhattan where i went sometime ago, and none of them ever say 'hi' or 'how you doin'.' Is there a story behind this? I feel like i'm walking in the streets of New York surrounded by ghosts.

Why do people get baptized? Why is it necessary to be "born again"? The righteous people who died before Jesus were raised up to heaven - what is different about the world now? Why did God need a scapegoat? Isn't God omniscient, omnipotent, and omnibenevolent? Why can't God forgive without blood? How can God have an offspring? How is the son of God more miraculous than Adam? Adam had no father or mother. If Jesus died for all people of all time, why not just sacrifice Adam before he disobeyed, then create a new one and prevent all the chaos and hatred in the world?

interesting? Scary? Thought provoking? Different?

I don't care about work at home schemes that I'll make billions of dollars in just minutes a day, or that you want to do some hot blonde in places I don't even want to imagine.

I want something cool to read!

Hit it.

Is there any hope for the souls of loved ones who have passed away without being "saved"? Can they be helped by our prayers?
Is it ok to ask God to have mercy on them?

Please no sermons, just think about it then reply with your thoughts. [LOL - An impossible dream I know]

Atheists have a NO GOD
Agnostics have a MAYBE GOD, MAYBE NO GOD, and NOT SURE ABOUT GOD
Christians have a TRIUNE GOD, a FATHER GOD, a ONE GOD, a TWO-FOLD GOD, and a GOD WITH A SON JESUS
Muslims have an ALLAH GOD
Others have a MONEY GOD, POWER GOD, or about anything else that can be named as a GOD.
The Bible says GOD IS ONE. The Bible says YEA ARE GODS. [seems like many]. The bible say GOD IS SPIRIT. The Bible says GOD IS TRUTH

Sure are plenty of differently declared GODS by different resources and different individuals.

Is it at all possible that everone can have his own view of God that is best for him. Then if there is a day of judgement he or she will be judged based upon those standards?

Is not this one possible view? Sure would stop a lot of fights and name calling.

His posts are frequent and I rarely agree with any of them, but there have been at least five to imitate him mockingly. What's wrong with Don?

Personally, I'm an agnostic. I think theists and atheists both make some good points, but niether has the whole answer. But if God is real, why is there so much difference of opinion? Shouldn't it be obvious? Does God only reveal himself to some? If so, why?

I could go on with the questions, but you catch my drift.

We have had many lunati...I mean prophets who have been given to us. Some peaceful lunati...I mean peaceful prophets and some violent savage filthy pedophilic warlordddd...I mean violent prophets.

However...prophet Darwin is the final in the final series of final and last prophets. No prophet can come after him and say "No, I come from the 'same God' but he said we have another final and last of the final series of propets'".

Noooo...indeed...Prophet Darwin clearly predicted where the precursor of man would be found...and beholdeth...after his death we foundeth the homids in Africa as he predicteth.

No one can denyth this....why do some reject Darwins prophethood....was he not violent enough? Should he have married a little child and hated jews and christians and non-dariwnians?

COME ON ALREADY!!!

Sure are plenty of differently declared GODS by different resources and different individuals. Since they are different It seem unreasonable from one view that all are right.

Before you reply look up the word god in the dictionary and see how it is defined.

I guess the reason doesn't really matter, my partner Juan and I are just really glad they did. We'll be attending our first service in Birmingham on Sunday. He's picking out a dress now - three cheers for tolerance! See y'all Sunday!
