Many of you said that Abraham knew that God wasn't going to have him go through with it or that God would bring his son back. If that is true then wasn't Abraham's jesture meaningless? If he knew it wasn't really going to happen then he was just going through the motions.

What say you?

Why is it that people want to save animals? I see announcements on the TV that says you can save a dog or cat for 1 dollar a day, but you can use that same dollar to sponsor a child in a third world country. why do we still give money to save old Yeller. wouldn't you prefer a million dogs to die that to save the life of one child or are we so racist that we rather give to the animals rather than other countries because their not Americans? wouldit be better to kill all the strays and save the children.

Another little girl steps on the porch selling candy bars for kids to go to camp. You can only give to one of them. Which would you give the money to, and why?

I take online college classes and so far i have straight A's and a 4.0 GPA. I take great pride in the fact that I worked so hard to get these grades. So why would having pride in my grades be a sin?

I was also raised republican. I mean no disrespect to our lord in asking this question, I just wonder why we believe what we believe. I know that God watches over me and blesses me when I am deserving, but I am not sure how much that has to do with my religon as it does with me as a person. I feel that God listens to me when I pray to Him. I don't think He does only because I am Catholic. Just curious what the awnser may be. Thank you!

I'm trying to find out why atheists are moral. So far I've just gotten the answer that atheists are moral because they want to benefit society.

But why would an atheist refrain from being immoral even when being moral would harm them, individually? I know that many atheists do refrain from unethical, immoral acts, even when such immoral acts would benefit them personally. But my question is: why?

So far, most atheists I have talked to have responded by saying things like "and why shouldn't I be moral???!!" And while such defensive responses are understandable, they don't bring me any closer to understanding where atheists are coming from.

If you are an atheist, please let me know why you do the right thing, even when it doesn't benefit you personally. I know this is a personal question, but please help me understand where you are coming from. You represent a significant percentage of the population and I really want to understand your worldview better. Email me!

married? Is this how it really is or am I missing something? I know that my guy friends and so forth were nice about shopping with me. Does marriage make guys a complete *** when looking for clothes, even when you, the female are paying for your own clothes? Is that fair or is it a rule never to go shopping with your husband. I thought marriage would be doing most things together, give and take.
I had a bad experience tonight and was so embarrassed by my fellow at the store that I was ready to smack him. He said the rudest things out loud and even offended some of the clerks, I think. I mean remarks like--well is that something a step mom would wear and so forth. ( I am not a step mom and I have no kids).. He was just making fun of a pair of pajamas out loud while I was a few feet away looking at a necklace. He said that infront of about 6 other people. He said and acted rude in other ways too. What is up with this behaviour? Am I missing something? Give me your input.

Do you think Abraham was right for being ready to sacrifice his son or do you think he should have told God something like "Sorry, but I can't commit murder of an innocent child."
