Just visualize what I'm saying

Beginning of earth, first life...., and after some years man evolved from those primitive life forms he used to live in caves during the early times. he hunted for his food.He was afraid of thunder,lightening,storm. He had a submissive mind towards those things which he was not able to distinguish properly and consequently he began to worship them and thus early pagan religions rooted up. Later man correlated his concepts about what he was unable to explain in his own words and came to a conclusion that these are the deeds of a power and he called him God

After reading this do you think God is a concept that was created in man's imagination?

If you feel offended by this question then please help me to correct the question

Hebrews 7:3
The King of Salem: He has no mother and no father or any ancestors- no beginning or end to his life. He remains a priest forever, resembling the son of God.

His attributes sound greater than even Christ himself. Can any Christian explain this guy?

koran contradicts it self when it says that all unbelievers should be murdered.
muslims why these double standards? and if what you say is really true then why doesent islam allow any criticicm or questioning?

The kind of present my brother and his wife will be getting us.

The money he would have spent on us is being sent to pay for a proper toilet in the street for some people somewhere in India. We take such things for granted. In Britain we live in the top 10% of the world for living standards, do you really need another pair of socks?

I'm just curious whether or not your own organized religion has a list of what is a literal and what is a symbolic translation of your own religious text. Sure no existing religion translates their scripture as wholly literal or wholly symbolic, but do they have an actual list of what is translated a specific way or is it just open to personal (or inter-organizational) translation within your specific house of worship? Also, who decides what in your religious scripture was suppose to be literal and what was suppose to be symbolic? By what criteria did they use?

Please no jokers, I'm quite serious in trying to understand all of this. Thank you.

Hi, I'm writing a light-hearted article for a newsletter about pretentious and badly thought-out project names.

For example, classical, greek or literary names, where there are awkward or embarrasing connotations. E.g Project Exodus, for a company redundancy scheme.

Does anyone have any real examples I could use.... no company names mentioned please, just the project name, what the project was meant to deliver and whether it was successful.

Many thanks, B.

It's true!
You see there are plants. Therefore that is proof that the Green Fairies exist. And these plants and flowers do grow, which is further proof that the Green Fairies exist and do make the plants grow.

After all, you can't prove that they DON'T exist or don't make the flowers grow right?
You just have to have faith...


(this is the same sort of retarded logic christians and muslims use to "prove" that their brand of magic sky-pixie exists. The fact is, you cannot disprove a negative. The burden of proof rests upon those who claim such things exist.
I mean does anyone believe that my claim about the Green Fairies is true? No, of course not. Only the fundamentally stupid would take a story like that at face value. Same thing goes for god or allah.
If you have proof, post it. Think of the fame. You'd be the first person in the history of history to provide such proof. Think of the people you'd save.
I'll wait.....)

If you answered Heaven, why do you go to a doctor, take vaccines, ect. thus prolonging your life? Suicide is one thing, and that is a sin, but doing things to prolong your natural lifespan is another.

I've just watched on telly some dim-witted anorex stick insect drifting through a shopping centre reciting poetry that doesn't rhyme to herself and ... guess what ... it's an ad for a perfume. You can guarantee that if you get some blokes with chiselled cheekbones and some wafer-thin miserable models on the box and there's water and sea crashing around behind them, then it's going to be a perfume ad. And what about that ad with some poofy sailor bloke and some bloodless ginger-haired woman that looks like she's just been sucked dry by a vampire .. .yes another perfume ad.
Is it just me, or are these ads a lot of pretentious rubbish?
