After all, that's basically what the brain is. I mean this as a serious question, and I'm sure atheists have an answer, which I'm curious to know. (Although I don't believe in an interventionist God, I'm very inclined towards there being a 'First Cause' to the universe, or, if you will, a creator, largely because of this question.

You know how you go to stores and try them on just for fun? Well, whenever I do it, it is always the same colour. My friends have had rings that changed colour for them, but it was always dark blue on me. If I remember correctly, that means hapy and in love, but I can be the most ticked off person in the world and it still says that. It's not that I believe in them being truthful, but it was always disappointing for me. :-(
I know.... this sounds like a very silly question, but it came to my mind and I thought... why not? :-)

If you ask me its all just a load of bolloks.
Fair enough if people whant to believe what they want about god or where they/the earth came from then let them - but organised religion is the cause of just about every piece of trouble on this earth.

Is it really worth all the pain just because one lot of people believe something different than another lot?

It's like I believe in aliens but I wouldn't kill somebody just because they didn't believe in them so why does it all change when it comes to god?

It is interesting how guys always look for a tree or wall to pee. What is the problem if they just pee everywhere, without something in front of them.

I think sometimes we who are citizens of nations based upon democracy have a hard time understanding the concept of rule by a king. Because we are so accustomed to basically being able to call all the shots by the majority rule we have a hard time understanding how a king can be soverign over his kingdom and at the same time always make decisions that are in the best interest of his servants. We want to be the ones who make the decisions about what is right and wrong. We want to call all the shots rather than bow in submission to the will of our God.

We have developed a culture in the United States, for instance, where people just don't like to be told what to do. Even when our actions can lead to great hurt and damage to ourselves and our countrymen, we believe that we should have the right to act in any way we choose as long as it doesn't infringe upon the rights of others or directly cause them damage. We have come to believe that the individual can so isolate himself from society that it is really possible to do things "in the privacy of my home" that won't eventually affect society. That just isn't possible.

So if we truly understand the nature of God (that He is soverign over all things but because of His love He will always do what is in our best interest and will only restrict us from doing things that will harm us) we can better accept our role in His kingdom as being good servants to an awesome loving King.

Don't get me wrong. I really feel blessed to live in a nation based upon democratic rule, but I think we Christians must be careful to understand that the kingdom of God is not a democracy. We are called to be servants of Him and submit to His will in all things.

In my school all the black kids always gather in he same area in a big group during lunch, and they are always getting into trouble in class.

Like one teacher told this one black kid in my class to go to the office because he was using the F word at the teacher, and the kid goes "It's just because I'm black". to his friend before he got up to leave.

Why are they like that? And by the way, I live in Toronto, Canada not Alabama or w/e.

Do you believe that it is the woman's fault? I am asking this question because I was reading an article about a man named Sheik Taj Aldin al Hilali who compared women who do not cover themselves up as "un-covered meat" to animals and that it's not the animal's fault that they eat the "un-covered meat" but the "un-covered meat's" fault.

And of course I don't believe that, I'm just asking people's opinions.

“Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind.” – Albert Einstein

“The test of first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.” – F. Scott Fitzgerald

The debate too often is either or. Maybe it is both. A coin has 2 sides. If you focus on one side, all you see it that side. In reality, it has 2 sides. The debate here is sometimes one-sided.

Consider this: God is the Truth. Science pursues the truth. Thus, maybe "the truth" includes both God and Science. It just depends what you are looking for and at. Just a thought.

Note: In the above, God is only a non-denominational creator. Do not read a religion into this.

The Spirit tricks evil into thinking it's getting it's way, while all

Ever notice how it takes suffering before a BUTTHEAD breaks
