Right now I consider myself agnostic... and I need reassurance...

Christians: Give me 5 reasons to believe you
Atheists: Give me 5 reasons to believe you

He puts Adam and Eve in the garden with a “tree of knowledge” that they are under no condition allowed to eat from. He puts a serpent in there for the sole purpose of tempting them to eat from the tree (just in case they don’t do it on their own). He is all knowing, so he knew they were going to do it from the beginning.

When they eat from the tree (which he knew they would) he punishes them all harshly. He takes the serpents legs away! Lucky you weren’t the serpent, huh? He casts the people out of the garden. He punishes, not just Adam and Eve, but all their decedents for this “crime” for millennia’s.

It seems to me that if you believe in the bible then you have to face it; you’re god’s punching bag.

I’m sure you’ll blame it on the devil (illogically). Oh well, what do you think?

I hope no-one find this an offensive question. I don't mean it to be. I know religion provokes very strong reactions in people and I don't want anyone wanting to crucify me or pronounce a fatwah, or whatever it is.

It's just that it appears to me that the *most* religious countries are the poorest ones. The ones where people are existing in extreme poverty, and because of this, perhaps less educated. Richer, more sophisticated societies seem to be more secular.

I just want to understand!

This might sound a little corny but, I feel like I have a really big purpous in my life. I feel like I am meant to do, or can do something incredible. This is a really strong feeling I am getting-I think about it every single day. What should I do? I already feel like I have a 6th sense or something. Is this a normal feeling?

I think their favorite one is "God Hates Us All". If it ever does start"Reigning Blood" maybe we will get to see a "Divine Intervention" then it will truly be a "Season in the Abyss".They must have been blinded by "Christs ILLusion".

Dear friends,
I am interested in your views.
Bollywood is nothing but an embarassment to the entire Indian (hindu) establishment. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why Indians are so proud of the damn thing.

Bollywood is nothing more than a Muslim dominated, left wing, unpatriotic, anti-Indian, anti-hindu movie industry. For starters none of the actors and actresses are even talented. They do not appreciate the art of true acting. All they are capable of doing is dancing around trees and looking stupid. I mean, c'mon, any ugly street dog can walk off the streets of Mumbai and become an actor. Look at salman Khan for instance.

I propose that there should be the establishment of a NEW movie industry and one that is more HINDU dominated. I mean c'mon, most of the actors in the pro-Muslim bollywood are all foreigners (which means Muslim).

How can armageden be possible if man has free will. Profhecies imply that god can see the future, if the future is predetermined then there can really be no real choices as the outcome cannot change. Since the outcome cannot change, then God is responsible for ultimate failure of man. We are doomed to fail by design?

I know that I am spiritual, I am gay, I believe that there is a creator, I don't believe if you are a good person and die that a God would set you on fire for eternity. I believe in caring and loving all of God's creatures. I believe in following the law of the land. I believe in questioning God. What religious group has these same beliefs if any. I am a free thinker. Thanks.

I say "Heaven" in quotes because I just mean any sort of eternal afterlife that's not reincarnation. Obviously if you're reincarnated you get to do the human struggle all over again. Or do you think Heaven is sort of like living on Earth? Or do you think our minds/consciousnesses will be different such that we actually like perfection?

Catholic priests are married to GOD thats why they wear a wedding band.So,if they can be married to GOD the holy ghost,we have a huge problem.While gays can not marry,catholic priests have been doing this to one and the same "HE" GOD not to mention a ghost for a very long time! That is just a bit messed up I feel.

What do you think?

In the old days people got along fine without all this new technology! high definition TV and picture phones! Phones were made for making calls not taking pictures or playing games. Kids went to play outside instead of playing video games.
