I AM THE BEST!
MY RELIGION IS THE GREATEST!
YOUR ALL DUMB MORONIC FOOLS FOR NOT SEEING THE TRUTH!
I AM RIGHT YOU ARE WRONG.

Sadly this is what i see on yahoo answers in this section. Instead of learning about ones faith and accepting that that is what they believe and growing together, we are fighting and telling others they are wrong about what they do and practice. With God it is a relationship that counts, not religion. You can have a relationship with God in any religion, you just need to know which best suits you. I think it's bad that we are so negative to another's beliefs. I am a Christian, Jesus accepts all walks of life and faith's but did not believe it. He knew the right path but still helped others who didn't.

She likes this boy (she's 14 and he's 15), and he is emo, which is kinda like goth, but different, so I am told anyway. I caught her wearing black fingernail polish, and told her Halloween was over. Her father says he is not ready to meet this kid, and I kinda agree. I know he could be totally normal, and a good kid, but I do not want my daughter, wearing black clothes, dying her hair black (she's a blonde), and wearing black make-up and fingernail polish. Am I being totally unfair? I remember being a 14 year old girl, but this is going a bit far in my book! Help me out, both kids and parents views are welcome. I would like to know kid's views on gothic and emo kids at school too!

Uhm i have a simple question, that is in my mind. Actually two questions.
One is this: "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" 1Tim 2,5
Now why do we need Mary/ to pray for us..if Jesus does it. I think His prayer is more than enough for us.
Second: what is it with patron saints? How did they become patrons, Who gave them the "authority"?
Please don't take this as an offensive question, as it isn't. I just want some answers that's all:).
God bless!

I know that the Bible says that we're sinful from conception. It also says, "Believe and be baptized and you will be saved." That's why we have infant baptism in our church, so we know for sure that the babies are going to heaven. What about babies who don't get baptized? We can't hear untill the second trimester, so we can't hear the gospel untill then. How can a miscarried baby have faith if they can't even hear the gospel?

I know that Zoroaster stopped the sacrifice of animals as a prophet, in his religion, but did he ask for followers to be vegetarians?

Sending out birthday invitations and Christmas cards to friends and clients but don't know many of their spouse's names. Many addressees are reporters, an industry in which names are commonly changed, so I can't assume the spouse's last name is the same. Any suggestions on a clever way to address the envelope so they know I also am inviting the spouse but don't give away that I don't remember their name? Please help!

Quran 2:216 "Fighting is prescribed for you (muslims), and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/002.qmt.html#002.216

Fighting is prescribed in Islam (shock wave goes through Yahoo). However, what about the people who "dislike it". After all, Muslims are human beings, so its not like every single Muslim will want to go on Jihad. Well, sorry, but its "prescribed"!

Why is it prescribed? Aw yes, this is the best part...its prescribed because "Allah knows and you know not!!!"

Ah, I see, good enough. Thanks. Clearly such logic must be from God.

why does Islam only thinks that Islam is the only way to heaven and the only right way? Why can't it allow people to believe what they wish instead of penalizing those who don't obey. Let them live their lives!!

Why is it that in every funeral the priest says that the person is going to heaven to be with the lord? Is it possible that no one sins anymore? I've never heard a priest say that the person is going to hell. Why?

Please note that faith isn't an acceptable answer, as if I claim to have faith in a giant blue smurf named bob, you will claim i'm mistaken.

Also the claim can't be the evidence

"Believe in the bible because the bible says so"

is like saying,

Water is blue, because water is blue
The sun is hot, because the sun is hot
I'm the best, because I say I'm the best
The Earth is round because it is round

Serious question, why is this?

If you can actually answer my question, I'd be more than willing to give you best answer no matter of your beliefs but please answer it.

Was there a turning point that made you not beleive? Or how exactly did you come to be an atheist?

The reason I ask is that I always hear "logic" of why God must exist, but I never hear of why God must not exist. And I'm just curious to hear your viewpoint :-)
