often spout things like...
you can't possibly understand HIS way until you have opened your heart to HIM.

and all that instead of just answering the question. I'm not religious myself but I often "stick up" for religions by offering information and suggestions as to why a religious person might think the way they do.

I know that often the questions against religion are hostile or presumptious but why don't the answerers just prove it with words and explain themselves, hopefully ENLIGHTENING others. Giving the asker something to think about instead of copping out and annoying people more by basically saying "it just IS"

"my way is the right way.." and no more information is exactly the kind of attitude that prompts the questions and hostility in the first place.

Do we have a choice on how much karmic points we spend in heaven or hell? What determines exit from this place and possible re-birth?

I like Krispy Kremes because they taste great, less filling and don't require ketchup on the side. That ketchup stuff can be messy and time consuming, especially if you are somebody who works.

Also, I like them because they go well with green beans and nobody has ever tried to hurt somebody with krispy kremes that I know of so I guess they are really peaceful. By that logic, If we were all krispy kremes there would be world peace and everyone would taste great!

Other than that, I like them because you dont need to mix them with mayonaisse and green onion like a can of tuna, that can be a real pain in the butt. They are fine the way they are!

Also, I knew someone with a krispy kreme hat and another guy with a krispy kreme coffee travel mug. Both of them were real nice, and they were not even the same person. They both golf though.

Plus theres lots of selection so every day you can try a new one every day for 3 weeks. So with all these things going on, should I stay away from ketchu

kidnapping a child and holding them against their will. The person who I care about is aware of it. Why would they want to even associate with them?

About 40% of those (99%) scientists that believe in evolution are also religious or believe in a god like Kenneth Miller (professor of biology at Brown University, testified against intelligent design, and Orthodox Roman Catholic) or Francis Collins (Director of human genome project, against ID, and Born Again Evangelical Christian).

Explain to me how most of you (people without a college degree in life science) know a lot more than the 99.9% of scientists that have Ph.D's and M.D.'s in those fields and would win the Nobel Prize if they disproved evolution. Please enlighten me as to how this global conspiracy is done. Let me guess? Satan?! Wow, I guess you throw out Free Will out of your religion if you invoke that Satan controlled the mind of nearly 500,000 scientists for most of their life and research.

Seriously, people, the bible was not inspired by any God. It was written by men who thought they had the right idea on how to live your life and what was morally acceptable according to their culture. Some scriptures were decided to be left out of the bible by a group of men. Where is your proof that it is credible and true?

if so, I think the term means you love humans. So where's the problem if I ask you if you like people of the opposite sex? you as HOMO-sexuals? are you really homosexual? I feel I am....Homosomething. There are humans I love. But well, no sex for now.

Medieval philosophers usually thought we would all be 33,the ideal age, the age of maturity,as of Christ's earthly maturity.I take it this is symbolically accurate:we will all be fully mature.Infants who die prematurely will be given,by God (perhaps through the mediation of their own parents!),all the maturing they missed on Earth.Geneticists say that the aging process is not inevitable;that a live organism could theoretically be immortal,never age,never die.Cancer cells do not die unless they are killed or their host dies. The aging and dying process began at a certain time in our history,after the Fall.God did not make death, but he unmakes it.In Heaven no one will be old.Yet in a sense everyone will be both old and young, as a reflection of the God who is the Alpha and Omega, oldest and youngest,"beauty ancient yet ever new."Even now we sometimes see the wisdom of old age in the musing face of a baby or the eternal freshness of youth in the twinkling eyes of the very old.
