Stop pretending like it doesn't matter, b/c if it didn't we wouldn't have all these churches with pictures of the mid-eastern/arabic dude looking like a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes.

that the lineage of primate skeletons are fake. Who is spreading this? It's all there. It does not rival the Bible or disprove the exsistence of God. What is the mix up here?

Do you find it hard to "get out of yourself" and think about how you act and what you say will affect others??

I find it hard, but when I get some momentum with this, I can do it often. I feel self centeredness is a heartbeat in North American society.

Any thoughts?? How do you deal with practicing this??

Thanks for everyones answers!

God is all powerful and all knowing. He knew when he created Satan what would happen.

Black Christians, Is this proof that you're brainwashed?
Black people, before you call any Atheists fools, you need to look at the person in the mirror

Slavery in the bible

What does the Bible say about beating slaves? It says you can beat both male and female slaves with a rod so hard that as long as they don't die right away you are cleared of any wrong doing.

When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. (Exodus 21:20-21 NAB)

You would think that Jesus and the New Testament would have a different view of slavery, but slavery is still approved of in the New Testament, as the following passages show.

Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. (Ephesians 6:5 NLT)

It's like they think that there's "me" and there's "God" and even if they read in the Bible that God or Jesus lives in them, they still see God/Jesus as something apart from their own selves.

Maybe it's silly, but I much prefer the term 'wizard' over 'witch' even though I'm female. Have no idea why! Maybe because wizard is more rhythmic with 2 syllables?

Anyone? Another person asked the same question to atheists, and now I have rephrased it. Anyone dare to say they, and possibly only they, have it right, no other possibility in the universe?

if everything is chance and we evolve how the first cell which is one cell changes into different cell , and how that first cell determines in which direction to multiply , how it determines what is going to be built first and than how it changes from lets say bone to blood or from blood to liver cell, remember at the begining it was only one
before you try to give some explanation let me also ask you this?
are you aware that you see creation in front of your eyes every single day or are you blind in this aspect?
it is never late before is too late so think about it

A man was driving west through Arizona on an interstate highway when he looked at his dashboard and saw he was almost out of gas. There were no roadside stations in sight but he needed gas very soon. The next exit was for a small town about 3 miles off the interstate so he took the exit to find gas. It was a cold, wet, windy, winter day and as he traveled down the road to the little town he noticed a young man walking on the side of the road toward the interstate. With little concern he traveled on to the town and filled up his tank.

As he turned and drove back to the interstate he came upon the young man again. He was wearing a light jacket holding his arms close to his chest leaning forward into the freezing wind and rain obviously miserable and cold. As the car approached the young man on the road he just barely put out his left thumb so as to indicate he needed a lift but trying to maintain some body heat.

As the driver passed by the young man something inside him told him to stop. He had never before stopped to pick up anyone like this before. He brought his car to a stop about a quarter mile down the road from the young man. As he turned to look back through the rear windshield he could see the young man running down the road toward his car. Soon the young man was standing at the passenger door looking in the through the window the driver had lowered.

“I sure could use a lift,” said the young man. The driver asked, “which way do you need to go?” The young man replied, “I need to go east. Are you going that way?” The driver hesitated for just a moment and then said, “Yeah. I’m going east. Get in.”

The young man almost jumped into the car. His hair was covered in ice and with the warmth of the car it began to melt and drip from his hair. As the driver pulled onto the road heading back to the highway he asked the young man, “where do you need to go?” He replied, “I’m trying to get to my dad’s house in Virginia”. The driver said, “That’s a long way to hitch hike don’t you think? Why didn’t you call you dad and get some help getting back home?”

The young man replied, “ I haven’t talked to my dad in 5 years. I left home on bad terms with him. I was doing some things I new I shouldn’t do and dad didn’t approve. So I left and said I’m never coming back. Now I’ve lost my job. I’ve lost my girl friend. I have no money, no friends, and no place to live. I don’t have anything left and nowhere to go. I was afraid to call him. What if he said no I can’t come home? Then what would I do? Where would I go? I thought if I can just make it back home maybe I can walk up and knock on his door. Tell him how sorry I am. Maybe he would let me come home.”

The driver pulled his car onto the interstate and headed east retracing the path from which he had just come. The two continued to talk about what had happened in the young man’s life.

As they drove and talked they soon came to a large city. The driver without saying why began following the signs that showed the way to the airport. The young man asked, “Where are we going.” The driver responded, “I’m going to pay for a ticket for you to fly home. You need to be with your dad.” The two went into the airport together where the driver bought the ticket. He handed it to the young man and said, “you’d better hurry you’re going to miss your flight.” The young man hugged the driver and then with tears in his eyes he said, “You know, you didn’t have to do this, did you?”

The driver paused for just a moment and looking back into the young man’s eyes responded, “ Yeah, I think I did.”

I then found myself looking up a the crucified Jesus hanging on the cross looking down into my eyes. I looked up at him acknowledging what He had done for me and with tears in my eyes I said, “You know, You didn’t have to do this, did You?”

Jesus looked directly into my eyes and with a smile responded, “Yeah, I think I did.”

THE COWBOY AND THE LESBIAN.

An old cowboy sat down at the Star bucks and ordered a cup of coffee.
As he sat sipping his coffee, a young woman sat down next to him.
She turned to the cowboy and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
He replied, "Well, I've spent my whole life breaking colts, working cows,
going to rodeos, fixing fences, pulling calves, bailing hay, doctoring
calves, cleaning my barn, fixing flats, working on tractors, and feeding
my dogs, so I guess I am a cowboy."

She said, "I'm a lesbian. I spend my whole day thinking about women. As
soon as I get up in the morning, I think about women. When I shower, I
think about women. When I watch TV, I think about women. I even think
about women when I eat. It seems that everything makes me think of
women."

The two sat sipping in silence.
A little while later, a man sat down on the other side of the old cowboy
and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?!”
He replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out that I’m a
lesbian."

It might seem like a rediculous question, but the thought occured to me while watching Nip/Tuck: where do they get them? Is one grafted skin formed to act like a penis? Is it from a body donor? Does it operate like a regular penis? Are testicles included, and can they produce sperm? For that matter, can transexuals produce offspring?

Yeah... unusual questions, I know, but I'm curious.
