If everyone has an opinion about who GOD is,what hell is, what heaven is, where does that opinion come from? Dont we believe the things we were taught?Handed down? Tradition?Like parrots we squawk out what we heard. Like chimps we mimic what we see,like children we believe what are parents teach.So, what is truth?

What in your opinion is the worst religion? Based on the grounds on how leaders and followers treat women, homosexuals and free thinkers? Or how a religion doesn't recognize another human being for believing somehing different. I just want to know some of the most extreme religion. In my opinion it would be Christian and Islamic followers.

To the expenditures of every country in the world, including Islamic ones. To humanity.

Expenditures related to Islam (but for Islam, they wouldnt exist):

Every countries >

Terror prevention budget,
Overall military retooling expense;
Percent of defense expenditures fighting Islamists;
Handouts to countries impoverished by Islam or devistated by Islamic violence;

Human Capital >

1.4 Billion people largely kept away from higher education and contributing almost nothing to human progress. Millions of deaths yearly related to violence where Islamic idealogy plays a central role.

Conclusion: The cost of Islam is not measurable. One way of looking at it, based on how quickly human progress has moved at certain times, is simply the idea that, if Islam didnt exist, we would probably right now be expecting to live to the age of 170 and be communicating from out spaceships.

It's going in circles. Don't you think the answer to the question, "Does a god exist?" should be that we don't know?

Please help me understand. I have been told that NOTHING in this world happens outside God's Will. If that is the case... If I were to put a gun to my head and pull the trigger, i would only die if it was God's will. Also All the rape and incest and murder in this world is all "Within God's Will" . I'm Sorry, But I can not believe all this is God's will. Please help me understand!!!!

A lot of evangelical Christians -- and those claiming to be evangelicals -- gay bash and treat others like refuse even if the question has little or nothing to do with religion. And it seems like every time I ask a Catholic question, I get only answers telling me that the Catholic Church is wrong/evil/just a bunch of molesting priests, not a real answer.

I do not mean that Catholics are better than Protestants, but it does seem like we are on the whole a bit better behaved. That's a shame, too, because the whole Catholic/Protestant thing causes a lot of strife and I think distracts us from the main point, which is loving God. So, I ask everyone: please be Christlike if you're claiming to be a Christian. It's hard, but I'm working on it too, and I think it would make Y!A a lot better.

God bless.

Note: God wrote that, so you'll have to answer to him alone. You cannot blame what is written there on any man.

A close friend of mind started playing the Ouiji board about 6 months ago. Since that time she has become incresingly strange? I can barely stand going into her home. It smells of excrement and is always cold and dark. She is abusive and mean as well.

Clearly there is no way to change their thinking, so as goes the saying, "living well is the best revenge" so should all of us.

I can think of nothing that speaks louder than an atheist living a consummately good and happy life, feeling whole and complete, contributing to society, treating people with compassion and respect, while demonstrating all the positive virtues that Christians seem to universally admire, but have such difficulty achieving themselves.

Take that!

I just don't understand. The girlfriend came home and ask her boyfriend where is the baby. The fool forgot that he put he/she in the freezer. Luckily the baby is still alive. Who would really think of that?

hear me out, im talking about a virgin giving birth or a guy building an ark with every single animal on it which we could not even do today. maybe if virgins actually gave birth once in a while then sure i wouldnt have a problem believing these stories but most things are just ridiculous. im sure mathmatically noah doing this would be a 1/500000000 chance and people are supposed to believe it happened just like that

Please tell me if you are transgendered/transexual. I have always thought of this as a REALLY small community. I have only seen on transexual person that I knew was transexual. Also, state if you are M2F or F2M and if you have had the surgery. When did you start crossdressing? How old were you when you had the surgery? No bashing allowed. All bashing will be reported and, at the Y!A team discretion, may be banned. No biblical talk!
