Or, I should say, a TON of houses. Seriously, why are churches necessary if God is everywhere? If you pray to God in the middle of nowhere, is it any different from in a church? Does a church amplify your prayers or something?

For you Champ Pacquiao!

I have never doubted your generousity since you became rich, however, having seen for doing stupid kind of charitable cause, is appalling to me as Filipino national.

I'm sorry champ, I'm not writing these to ask you a tip from your winnings, and certainly not to profess on you. but the way you've done your generousity is way off of being called intellegent kindness. I'm sure that you've disposed an amount somewhere of about millions of pesos. and it helped a lot of people "in a day or two"
However, if that massive amount was used to build them (the shameless) something to become more useful and progressive citizens, like for instance a market facilities and stalls awarded by you! to those poor families where they can thrive doing businesses of their own, perhaps that amount of money will go a long long way and your generousity will be preserved intact even when you retired from boxing business.

Please prove me wrong...

Why was God like everywhere 2006+ years ago, interfering in all sorts of things, then as soon as Jesus died, that's it. Not so much as a postcard since. Of course, the reason is he didn't exist to start with.

So all you bible-believing, gay-bashers out there -- get real...

SOOOOO many idiots out there are so positive that evolution is wrong, yet they don't even know anything about evolution!

Who else is sick of their pathetic attempts at disproving evolution?

Nine times out of ten, the "questions" about evolution are from idiots who think they can prove it wrong, but know nothing about it...

They have no idea what they're talking about, but they are soo sure of themselves.

Message to all the fools I'm speaking of: Do some RESEARCH!

So when did God invent hell, as far as I know,
the OT / orthodox Jewish faith does not have a hell so what made him change his mind and make a place to punish non-believers was it out of revenge or did the church invent it as a means of control.

So, when God tells Moses about the coming prophet, he says from among your brothers, does he mean Ishmael or Israel.

Here's an argument for Israel. Earlier in Deuteronomy 7:15, God sayd "thou shalt surely set him king over thee, whom Jehovah thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother. "

So would you think that "brother" means Israelite in both cases? Why? Why not?

If you have already made up your mind about the world then what good is asking a question that you won't be open minded about? If it is truly truth you wish to find then why ask cavilous questions? Or do you really just wish to be disagreeable and passively stick it to believers? Just curious...

APES HAVE BEEN APES AND HUMANS HAVE BEEN HUMANS ALL THEIR TIME

EARTH IS EARTH AND AGE OF EARTH IS AGE OF EARTH AS A PLANET

WORLD IS WORLD AND AGE OF WORLD IS AGE OF WORLD FROM ADAM AND EDEN

The bible math is correct.

The age of the earth and the age of the world are different.
People misrepresent things.

Gen.1:1,2 [ The earth and all exist here, it is evident ];
Gen.1:3 [ Earth is a focus for preparation here ];
Gen.1:11,12 [ Earth is a focus for plant life, plant life a priority,
needed extra light through earth protection shield, with seasons ];
Earth existing and in preparation ages, eras and eons before man
begans his time in the world from Adam to #10 son Noah,
to #20 son Abraham and family to Moses and half a million Promised
Land heirs, to #34 son David, Solomon and Judah kings to
#48 son Zedekiah at Babylon Empire #3, captivity? 606 years
to # 62 son Jesus in Roman Empire #6. Matt.1:1-17;
To now in 2006 years after Jesus.
Rev,20:1-6 [ No Satan ]; The 1000 year reign of Christ,
to all is perfect as before Eden.

TIMES AS GIVEN IN THE BIBLE
2Pet.3:5 [ heavens and earth old ];
2Pet.3:8 [ 1000 years as 1 day, = LORD ];
Psm.77:5 [ years of ancient times ];
Psm.90:2 [ earth and the world ];
Eph.1:4 [ Foundation of the world ];
Eph.3:5 [ Other ages ]; 2:7 [ future ages ];
Col.1:26 [ from ages and generations ];
Job.38:4-7 [Foundation of the earth ];
Job 37:12 [ world in the earth ];
John 17:3,5,24 [ Jesus with God before the world was, before Abraham 5:58 ];
Col.15-17 [ Jesus first creation created in image of God Rev.3:14];
Rev.20:1-6 [ No Satan in the 1000 year reign of Christ ];
Rev.20:7-10 [ No Satan after 100 years ];

They hurt,kill innocents, when it is clearly by God, n the Quran, and the prophet(saw) in the sunna.

Do you think that all islamic countries should issue a Fatwa on them?

Assume that:

Humans are composed of merely matter. There is no soul. What makes a human body and mind function is merely electrical and chemical activity.There is no afterlife.
