Many of you have heard of the story in St.Louis of the woman who was killed, her baby cut from her womb and her three children drowned. My question, if God existed how could such an act occur. Please do not give me the free will argument. If God is a loving father figure and we all his children, no father would ever allow his children to murder each other.

My problem with almost all religions really are that for centuries, most have basically only been used for evil. Religions were used to wage war (jihad, the holy wars,ect) and thats pretty much it.
My explanation for organized religion is this-for as long as time has existed, there is always a few who have all and many who have none. To keep order with those who had none, religion was invented. In this way, you didn't feel bad that the king had everything because in the next life you have heaven. It is basically a life insurance policy so people feel better when they die.

Was Moses perhaps shipped from Vikings in the north, to Egypt? Cause I know how vikings like their boats.

Noah.. I wonder if those boat buildings skills were in his blood?

What do you think?

Is it because of fear of the unknown?

Religion is based, I think, primarily and mainly upon fear. It is partly the terror of the unknown and partly, as I have said, the wish to feel that you have a kind of elder brother who will stand by you in all your troubles and disputes. ... A good world needs knowledge, kindliness, and courage; it does not need a regretful hankering after the past or a fettering of the free intelligence by the words uttered long ago by ignorant men.

April has been hospitalized for 3 months
after her ex b/f gave her a severe concussion.
She had major swelling in her brain, and
eventually developed a blood clot so they
had to do more surgery. She went into a
month-long coma soon after that. April came
out of coma last month, but doctors say she
has approx. 65% permanent brain damage,
with little chance of recovering normal mental
functions : (

April has been a good friend to me, and I feel
so sad for how she is suffering. She certainly
deserved better out of life than to go through
so much trauma at such a young age.

Please pray that God will help April to regain
her health. I believe in miracles, and she truly
is in need of one.

Thanks in advance for your concern : )

to me I think that they need to grow up and see that partying, sex, and drinking, are not what is important in life! I think that there are better things and more uplifting things to fill my life with. I'm sorry but drinking, sex, and cussing does not make me an adult. Even though sadly thats what most people have accepted in todays society.

How can Christians be so smug if they truly believe everyone but them is going to Hell? Jesus told his followers to love, first and foremost. Is that love, smugly condemning everyone but yourself to Hell?

even though tthey dont believe in him and also isnt it interesting that people all around the world pray? Like some people will pray before they eat even though they dont believe in God.

Acts 17:22-31
22Paul then stood up in the meeting of the Areopagus and said: "Men of Athens! I see that in every way you are very religious. 23For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.

24"The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. 26From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28'For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are his offspring.'

29"Therefore since we are God's offspring, we should not think that the divine being is like gold or silver or stone—an image made by man's design and skill. 30In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent. 31For he has set a day when he will judge the world with justice by the man he has appointed. He has given proof of this to all men by raising him from the dead."

I am a muslim and believe in Allah and his teachings to mankind and according to Allah , If I am a saved muslim I will enter heavan and enjoy paradise.

I find it funny that christians will say " Unless you accept Jesus as your savior you WILL NOT enter heavan"

Well Christians according to Islam unless you confess that Allah is God and Muhammed is his messenger you will not go to heavan.

Allah is great in all he does. He sees all and knows all.

I am just glad I am going to heavan. I pray to Allah everyday and he is glorious in everyway. He is merciful and peaceful and loves you too.

So christians I am going to treat you the way you treat other people. Unless you give up your false beliefs and confess that there is only one god and muhammed is his prophet, you will NEVER go to heavan.

May Allah Give us all his blessings and his forgiveness.

When they shot and kill someone's mother or 5-year-old, do they include those in the counting of their body-getting? One young man on my block shot 3 people but the only one he killed was the mother of 2 kids. Do you suppose he sits in prison bragging about that body-count?

Are people who read the bible and call it fantasy.. then go off and read some other piece of literature, and set up idols to the heroes of those stories, are they really just setting fictional characters to high status than God?

I dunno, I guess they do that, but is it reasonable, to set up toys and superheroes, to a higher status than God, even if each were fictional?

Strange, I think that meets the criteria for being a hypocrite, and if not, they are just plain.. strange.
Frodo, or God, or both? Both? Not possible, unless you don't set up idols and worship them, and admire them for their genius writings, and ability to use an imagination.

Agree?
