Is it in the Bible? What is the point? Why only men?

Don't get me wrong, they are super comfy! Just wondering the meaning to it.

Blessings and Shabbat Shalom!

I assume that most of you would be repulsed, and perhaps even rebellious, to the idea of being the subject of a dictatorial government like that of Stalin, Hitler, Castro, Amin and so many other historic tyrant dictators.- all of whom refused to be questioned about their authority to rule and all of whom threatened the worst of punishments upon those who dared to challenge their demands.

Why then, are you willing to overlook the restrictive dictum of your right to question the highest powers of your belief when the very dictatorial nature of the holy books and the religious leaders of your faith use such damning threats against you - threats which are nearly similar to the worst Gestapo oppressiveness?

If you are not allowed to question anything freely are you not the subject of an oppressive dictatorship?

It seems that everytime I get on here, Religion is basically mocked, or even ridiculed by some of the "Questions" on here. I mostly see a "War" between Athiests, who simply believe Science disproves "God" and the nature of man. That we live just to die. On the other side, Some "Christians" tend to refute, saying "God through Jesus." Life is after death. But the thing is both are "Pushing", leaving hardly any room for "Debate"(Although some answers I do find interesting from both sides. Even the more common and grammaricly, um "Challenged.") Now personally I do believe in God but I try not to force it. It is better to try to make somebody understand as a friend than an enemy. (Common sense) Methinks we should stick to more real topics to debate and not the "Would jesus shoot an atheist" (Notice I spelled it right this time only) debacle. Oh by the way. Here's a Q 4 U: In your mind, what determined that there is no God? What was the, "Eye opener" so to speak?

Why would it be a sin to fornicate (can I say that) on earth but you can have an orgy in heaven? I mean with the virgins and all?

There are people out there in life who makes it their personal responsibility at making you and myself unhappy.

God says " Vengence is mine!" But from what I have seen God let's all the mean people have their way with people who do good or at least try too.

I want revenge over the people who have hurt me, or shut me out. I want revenge for all the people who have laughed at me and spat upon me. I want revenge for all the people who currently laugh at me and my plight. I want revenge.

I must be the most evil man in human history. I say this becasue the lord God let's my enemies have free rein over me. The lord allows all to attack me and get away with it.

I have a gun and I can get revenge. I can kill the person who has been bothering me. I can end this. I can get justice if I can ignore the part where I lose a piece of my soul doing it.

What is wrong with getting revenge? Or better yet, how will you people judge me on Yahoo Answers for even wanting revenge?

It is a very logical mode of thought well illustrated by Fyodor Dostoyevsky. It basically mentions that men are biological machines, absorbing knowledge and society. Yes, you could say it's one of those philosophies that blame society for everything but that quick judgment is like saying evolution is random. Determinists believe in the sequential order of nature.

My friends wonder why I am agnostic and I tell them so I can stay open-minded becasue I think its impossible for anyone to have the right answer.
My question is why that when I ask why they believe they tell me becasue they have faith and the bible is evidence enough.
I mean having faith and believing is fine but what kind of evidence is that. I can make a better argument for christianty and I don't believe in it.

It looks so fun!I'm 17 about to turn 18 in 8 more months and to all of you who had experienced in going to a high school graduation party,I was wondering how is it like for all of you Americans?Is it sorta like the ones they have in "American Pie" or "Can't Hardly Wait" ?Damn,I would really love to go to a party that's similar to those.You know where you get drunk and high with a big crowd of people.And then you strip and get laid and stuff like that.I bet those parties are really illegal.So have any of you been to one before?I haven't because I'm living in Taiwan now and trust me Chinese parents are so different from American parents,They would never allow teens to have parties like these because all they care about is school,studying,and other shits that have to do with it and locking them at home and making them become nerds.It's just so ******* boring over here in Taiwan.So please,i want ya'lls' opinions to my question.thanx.

which side do you think puts up more questions that the other side really has no noble, respectable answers for?

when atheists or christians answer questions, which side usually has generally more ignorant, intellectually dishonest defenses for the way they believe?

Every time somone blows themselves up these days, too many say "Oh, its not the religion, its just a culteral thing." Muslims wont allow dogs in their cabs? Its cultural! Not all Muslims think that way!

Well this may be true, but not all christians believe in the pope. English catholics thing the Queen is the head of the church. So, therefore the pope must just be a culteral icon, as not all christians believe in him. Never name the Orthodox beliefs on the pope.

Respond?

This guy is the most fantastic prophet that I have ever read about...... his medical readings are enough by themselves to prove that he couldn't be a fraud, imo.

So if you believe in Cayce , than do the Akashic Records actually exist?
