Genesis 7:6,11, It was the 600th year of Noahs life, 2nd month, 17th day.

Is this a miracle if not why don't people live that long now?

What is funny to me is that people lived to be 600 but the earth is only 6000 years old. Stunningly ironic.

Everywhere you look in the world there is War and crime. We only have one world and unless your going to space we all have to live in it. Why hate because of different religion or philosophy. Different race or culture? It makes no sense. Although I must be honest and admit you republican Bush supporters make me SICK!!!!! but dont worry I dont hate you. I only think your stupid!

Ok, I've been reading lots of questions about sex before marriage being a sin etc. How come it's not a sin for animals to have sex then? Humans are afterall basically animals.

If it enters at Conception then what about conjoined twins sharing a soul, the zygote splitting a soul in half for identical twins, or worse yet, Fertility clinics freezing souls in human embroys suspended animation? does God have a soul waiting room?

If it enters at the moment of birth, then Abortion can't be murder because it is a souless entity.

. If you have a bible, you might have a concordance in the back section. A concordance goes by words.....so look up 'angels' , and it will give a list of verses that have that word in it. And, some bibles have notations on each verse so that you can look up a relevant verse in another location. Is this a desired feature for some of you? Should we post online concordances?

I was looking through Mudvayne lyrics looking for a song that would suit the book of Nahum for scripture studies (we could use any song) on their album: Lost and Found, and noticed that their songs such as Fall Into Sleep, Pushing Through, and Forget to Remember, could be related to the bible and religion.
Fall Into Sleep: A prophecy or vision told that no one will listen to.
Pushing Through: A nation that took over another nation and brutally ruled over them, but began to weaken, thus ending the brutality.
Forget to Remember: Someone who has had a bad life and is asking God to save him and forgive him.
What do you think?
Also, how much does Pushing Through suit the book of Nahum?

If a Scientist goes on TV and makes claims that are false, or unprovable he is pounced apon by the scientific community.

But if a Pastor or Religious leader goes on TV making outrageous claims without facts or evidence they are given a pass.

Is it because Science needs reproducable evidence to be valid, or is it that we are all awaire of the history of Religion and it's "faith" or lack of need for real facts or evidence?

I met a woman about 4 months ago at a party and didn't get her number because I was in a relationship. We talked for 45 minutes and her interest level seemed high but I didn't close the deal by getting her number. This weekend I sent her a quick "what's up" e-mail and didn't get a reply. I have her cell but think that would be stockerish and creepy to call her out of the blue.

I've been waiting 2 days now for the email. Does this mean I'm old news? Should I have called? Should I send her an other e-mail?

The bottom line is she's one of my brother's friends who I hit it off with (so I thought).

Would love womans' opinions.

For example, my cousin is going through hard times right now and believes in God. I am an agnostic, and life is going pretty good for me right now. Why does it seem he is testing her faith but not mine?

Quran 31:10 "...He set on the earth mountains standing firm, LEST IT SHOULD SHAKE WITH YOU..." http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/031.qmt.html#031.010

Ok, so the people who made-up the Quran claim that -- MOUNTAINS PREVENT THE EARTH FROM SHAKING.

Of course, educated people know that the earth can still shake even if there is a mountain, ask the people of Mount Rainer or the still petrified people of Pompeii.

Even small tremors in mountain regions kill people all the time, which is why, if youve ever driven through a mountain side, youve probably seen a sign saying "look out for falling rocks!!".

Mountains are created by the collision of the earths plates, and are thus instead the product of 'shaking' as opposed to the preventor of earth shaking. Also, since we know for a fact that this collision of plates is what creates Mountains, we also know that Allah didnt "set them".

I think censorship is for ******* and noone should be able to regulate what someone else says. Whether or not someone is offended and wants to kick that persons *** is entirely between them and the offender. I think we all need to grow up a little and get over ourselves, this nation is so neutered you cant even talk about defending yourself against TERRORISTS without being called a racist or being told you have a prejudice. Anyone who thinks that we should let them get away with what they did to us needs to go over there and tell them that, Im sure theyd be obliged to chop your head off anyway. Also, to all you armchair generals that think our troops are fascists, dont talk **** about what you dont know! All you have to go on is what the media tells you and the media never was and never will be known for honesty. THere are pictures of their little children running up and hugging Marines! Thats right, "psychotic killing machines" hugging cute little children that are born of the enemy.

Is it appropriate for a middle school bus driver to be blasting (arguably) explicit rap music?

Yeah - I have some autism & stuff, and I personally hate rap. I have my reasons for hating it, but I'm no where need the extreme of banning it. However, I find it common courtesy to not blast explicit music on school-related property.

Agree or disagree? Oh and if you respond with a "omg what the hell man you are **** rap is awsome" response I report it as abuse. Sorry, I don't deal with sh*t. I want descriptive answers, please and thanks a lot! :-D

Is it because they go door to door? Think about it...would you have the nerve to go up to strangers and preach to them about your faith? I dare say not. To me, they seem like very decent, law abiding citizens who really know their Bible, and that's a lot more than can be said for a lot of people.
