I am currently reading the Bible. Now, I must admit, I haven't even finished Genesis yet. I decided that in order to be comfortable with my beliefs, that I must first gain as much knowledge about God as I could, and where better to turn than to the Bible itself, right? Now, here is my problem, I started reading with an open mind. I have done my best to keep it that way. And honestly it just reads like a fairytale. I am trying to tell myself as I read, "This stuff really happened", but it just seems fake, no matter how much I try to think otherwise. So, here is my question: Do you think some people are born with the ability to believe in God, and some aren't? Cause, it seems no matter how hard I try, I can't. I will finish reading to the end, but I can tell you, so far I am less of a believer than I ever was, if that is at all possible.

What factors gave humans the ability to stand up straight, two skillful hands, and high intelligence? How do you theorize them?

Okay, I know that people here should know English (since they are answering/asking questions in English), but maybe you remember before you learned English...

Does English sound melodic? Is it ugly to you?

I think Islam is GREAT and BEAUTIFUL! but y do people say negative things about me supporting it? on the last question i posted there were more people accusing me than supporting me on my opinion. do u think it would have been different if i supported christianity or something? i think people should do more good research on islam and see for themselves of what i see.

P.S. i'm not Muslim (not yet...)

...but then you don't even care when they're burning in Hell cause you're so happy in Heaven? I'd rather not care to begin with than be a hypocrite.

Dad tells me that they won't eat the same things we do because that wouldn't make them specialer than us. I doubt he is right but was just wondering.

so yesterday, a friend of an acquaintance passed away. she was my ex-housemate's new roomie's best friend. she was 25. today, my ex-housemate invited me over for dinner. when i got there, it was a house full of the new housemates friends and they were all very upset over the loss of their friend, crying and what-not. so feeling very uncomfortable, i made an excuse and left. i hardly know these people, and my ex-housemate is in the same boat as i am, but i feel bad for bailing. should i?

Would it be disrespectful to participate when I don't believe?
Should I just sit out, or is that disrespectful?

It seem like certain people find it really strange or surprising if someone actually does something right or does something their actually supposed to do and they're like "Oh that's ok you don't have to pretend with us". You know, a lot of times, doing the right thing isn't that hard. Try it sometime.

are people really offended by the term hillbillys? in a previous question these were some of the things people said:
"People get upset because that is a derrogatory term. To me a hillbilly has screwed up priorities. For example, they will live in a shack, but drive a new Escalade or Corvette. Or they will say they don't have money to pay their bills, but they will go buy cigarettes and beer. Usually, hillbillies have hygiene problems"

"It usually means someone is uneducated and lacks social skills"

It is people like this who make hillbillys out to be bad people. People like this probably have never even met a hillbilly, because heaps of them do not have bad hygiene and have good social skills. Ignorant people like these, who made these comments should stop stereotyping people. Do you agree?

Do you feel that the insane followers of these bronze-aged myths will inevitably wage and support wars until they ruin life for everybody?

What can rational people do to stop theses maniacs from impeding science, spreading myths, fantasizing about the eternal torture of people in hell and imposing their will on the rights and lives normal, intelligent human beings?
