If you could sum up the Bible and God in one paragraph how would you describe it? What would be the biggest points you would make?

Do you think his message would be dramatically changed again because people want the idea of striving to get into heaven and want the idea of saved versus unsaved? Do you think he'd get at least 4 thumbs-down in Yahoo! Answers for his message?

just because you believe that you feel you have the one true faith .. or the one true prophet .. or the one true belief system
does not invalidate others who are of the same belief about theirs

doesnt it make you think perhaps that everyone holds an element of truth ?
or that maybe ... just maybe ... no one has it right , not even you ?

please dont belittle others faiths when they all feel as strongly about theirs as you do about yours

we see ad's on tv, and go out and buy stuff. so i was just wondering, how much $ do we charge for stuff on our credit cards per year? how much "hard" currency do we shell out per year on stuff? by stuff i'm talking about: shoes, alcohol, cars-n-trucks, golf clubs, stereos/televisions/speakers, furniture, jewelry, clothes, paintball markers, lawnmowers, swimming pools, bicycles, curtains, magazines, etc.

Some of the questions that people ask makes me wonder about thier motives for asking.

For example, some people ask why black people say "ax" instead of "ask".

I am at work. I just answered the phone and it was one of the real estate agents that I work with. She asked me for the phone number of a loan proccessor that we work with, but she asked for the person by name and it was the wrong name. So I gave her the wrong number. So she callled back and asked for it again and I said "This is the number I have for Bob." and she said "Oh, I wanted the number for Tom." and I said "I am pretty sure you asked me for Bob's number." Then, I gave her the right number. And she got upset that I made that comment, said I had a bad attitude, that she hopes it improves, and pretty much hung up on me.

Is it hypocritical of me to set my alarm for an hour before I actually need to get up, and will I go to hell for it?

(Yes, I'm being sarcastic)

I am sure if there was a God he doesnt care too much about people. Look at all the suffering going on in the world today. Wars, famine, disease , racism etc. etc. Wouldnt a righteous God put an end to these things if he truly cared about people?

when compared to the religious nutters who killed 50% more so called "witches" by burning them to death (in most cases). Although I obviously most emphatically condemn what happened to the Jews under the Nazis, 9 million people died for no crime other than being suspected of witchcraft. In the fullness of time, when the scars of what Hitler did have healed (there are still many people alive who remember the times of these atrocities) will it just be discarded as historical fact, like the witch hunts are now? Or will people still hate the Nazis? And if so, why don't we hate Christians now for the deaths of 9 million women?

(Sorry if I offended anyone with the question, just want some sort of heartfelt reaction to a genuine question, I'm intrigued...)

Many years ago, a meteor fell in the Arabian desert. The primitive humans who saw it fall to Earth thought it was a rock from the gods, and built a shrine around it. They've been woshipping it ever since. Not even Mohammad could stop them from considering the rock to be "sacred", so he made up a story about Abraham bringing it down from Israel.

If ANOTHER meteor falls on Mecca, would it still be considered "a rock from God"?

Someone said there is no logic in someone starting fires because the cops refuse to ticket a car in California with no front license plate which is required by law to have both plates, maybe they should tell the families of the fire victims about the logic of it, four firemen are dead and we heard it is because it was set by a person so upset over the cops not ticketing that they felt they could go nowhere legally with it and ran into brick walls everytime they tried to do anything about it so they took their frustration out on them by setting the fires, i think they always told us every action has an equal and opposite reaction even in grade school so how come they don't know that when they refuse to ticket a car that you point out to them on the street with no front license plate and they just give you a dirty look and refuse to ticket it that it could cause the person so go out and get even any way they can like setting fires, what part of that don't they get?
