Discovering that God/Mohammed/Krishnu etc. are only human constructs.

My mother-in-law repeatedly when to look and there was no one there. But he kept insisting there was.
Any explanation? They're both reasonably sane. Past tense for him.

The world’s oceans and seas are in jeopardy from over fishing, pollution and the destruction of natural habitats, through commercial trawlers, illegal use of banned nettings and poaching of endangered species such as the Turtle. Over fishing of Cod stocks has decreased its spawning grounds in the Atlantic by 64% and the stock in the Irish and Mediterranean Sea by 63%.
A 100,000 sharks are killed a yr simply for their Fins also by Japanese, Chinese and Scandinavian commercial trawlers!

Could you give up fish for 2 yrs if the EU implemented a law in which it was banned every 2 yrs on a 5 yr basis?

Consider the implications if we continue down this path, our seas in 20 yrs time will become barren by a % not thinking about its so frightening...
please boycott commercial fish products (Birdseye etc) and remember that if the fish stocks fail then the oceans are doomed as every fish has a purpose as does the shark which is the top of the oceans food chain.

As a Christian I would like to apologise...

To the ACLU, I apologise for being politcally incorrect and for bearing the name of Christ, which is in itself offesnive.
I also apologise for calling the Hollidays Christmas, because I'm sorry for causing anyone else the unpleasentness in hearing the word Christ
To the anti-Christians: I would just like to apologise for existing., for being the center of your anger and hatred, it must be very stressfull on you. I'm sorry that I have to represent such a horrible image of a person in your mind.
I am sorry for being a terrorist because I carry my Bible to school, I sencerly hope that I didn't cause anyone any sort of uncomfort.
I am also sorry for causeing you any pain becasue I believe in the love that Christ taught, oops, sorry I mentioned His name.
I applogise for the right to vote and being involved in politics, there is no place for a radical like me.
I guess that in this"open-minded society"there is no room for people like me.

Three days after being crucified and buried, Jesus was missing from his burial tomb. Some say Jesus' disciples stole his body and concocted a story that he rose from the dead. If that's true, why would the 12 apostles die for something they knew was a lie? Would you?
These 12 disciples went to their deaths proclaiming what they had no doubts about--that Jesus had risen from the dead, proving that he was everything he claimed to be...

I see many people attacking Christians saying ' I see what effects Christianity has on the people who follow it and I choose not to follow' What kind of effects are you guys talking about really.. What have you got that we don't? The only difference between us ( since we are all sinners) is that we choose to follow a way away from sin through Jesus in order to improve our lives.. In the meantime we live like you live.. maybe better.. But do tell me about these effects..

I believe that my roommate is seriously screwing me over. We've been living together for 4 months now, and I've been working really hard to keep up my end of the bills (and maintaining without a doubt). I basically wind up giving him all the money from my checks and begging him for extra spending money. I've just started thinking about it more, and I realized that I only half to give him a certain amount a week to break even. Now I think he's taking my money and spending it himself. I'm going to do research to check to see if this is true. But my question is if this is proven to be true, should I leave my work and my school behind and just leave, or should I stay and start working out my finances in the way I want to whether he likes it or not? I would be so crushed if he's done this to me...

So many times I have read the same old question, and someone has said there is no God, or prove that there is, well Prove there isn't. I know no matter how times people say read that story book the bible, but there is no proof, only words.
I have faith in God, but can not accept man made religion, if you read the bible and compair with the Hebrew text you would see how badly it was translated.
God is there for us all, so my question to you all is prove he isn't, and don't blame him for all things that go on in the world today because much of that is man made.

accept as truth is still based on your own limited understanding, whether you pick and choose what you want to believe, or decide that it is only possible to say you can't know. For those of you who say that you believe in only things that have proof, have you looked at the actual reasearch done on what you believe or you just assume because you saw it in some book (or on TV) that it is actually true?

We all have to decide what we think is true. We Christians simply wake up in the morning knowing that God's love is with us.

Someone I knew was, and stopped to help someone who was having car trouble. How was he repaid? With 2 bullets in the chest.

Why even bother being a good samaritan anymore?

and for those who are religious
are you really that sure that there's something waiting for you on the otherside?

The United States went into Iraq to dethrone a barbaric dictator who was unjustly torturing and murdering his own people. If these crimes were wrong when Saddam was doing it, what makes it right when barbaric extremists do the same thing under the auspices of religion?

If cruelty of a leader is just cause to invade a country, why do we draw the line at the dictator, yet allow the citizens to slaughter and stone to death victims of an archaic regime?

The US has been unable to establish law and order in Iraq. At least while we occupy this country, should we bear any responsibility for the barbaric executions of homosexuals, women who were raped, etc.? Should we at least protest? Should we do nothing?

Before answering, remember that injustice and cruelty are always injustice and cruelty --regardless of how they're dressed up in religious robes.
