I have struggled with that question for as long as I can remember. My parents and everyone around me has always instructed me to believe whatever is in our holly book as it is written, yet no one can prove to me that those are the words of god. By all accounts, the book was manufactured, printed, sold and distributed by human beings yet I am supposed to believe everything that is in it.

How can god hold us accountable in the afterlife for not having faith ? God gave us intellect, yet he expects us to believe that the holly book contains his words without any proof? If god wanted us to follow a certain religion, why doesn't he schedule a one day seminar for all of the inhabitants of this earth and instruct us on how to live our life according to his wishes?

I honestly believe that anyone who follows a book who's true identity he/she cannot believe is lying to themselves. Common people, if god wanted us to live our life a certain way, he would contact us directly.

Shouldn't we put more value on intelligence and not as much to vanity?

And how can you tell if a person is from Pakistan and not India or Bangladesh. And no, I am not a racist - it is a genuine open question.

everytime someone is offended with the remark? While some things people say demonstrate inferior vocabulary and knowledge, being called to apologize for this word, that word, is getting ridiculous. Why can't people just realize that not everyone is going to like everything or everyone else?

Also, why is tolerance only afforded to the complainers? If one is to be tolerant of another's views, and vice versa, how come only the complainers "deserve" to be tolerated?

My Husband died on a Sunday and came in my dream just 7 hours after. Do you believe this is in relation with the 7th day, Sunday which is God's day? My Husband and i were believing people but not the kind of persons who go to Church. I only remember this white light which waked me up and my Husband's presence, but nothing of the dream itself. I was so peaceful when i was in this dream, it was so magic, i felt like my Husband was here by me.

In this wonderful movie "Always" with Richard Dreyfuss and Holy Hunter (remake of the original movie with Spencer Tracy and Irene Dunne), the pilot played by Richard Dreyfuss "came back" something like 6 months later, why my Husband "reappeared" so quickly? Because i don't believe it was a normal dream, but my Husband probably tried to prepare me to the terrible shock prior the police tells me.

Thanks!

If a guy tells one of his "amigas" "Te quiero mucho" what meaning does that have?

I know that it literally translates to "I want you a lot" but is it used to express different feelings? How should it be taken? That has always confused me! Thank you! :)

I was scanning for questions to answer and a a rough count yeilder that about 15 in 20 were atheists with mock question and 4 in 20 were Christians looking for converts and maybe one in 20 is a legit question. Is this what people really want?

They say people get world they deserve but I think we can do better than this. And to the people who just use this as a place to mock religion, you are giving atheists a bad name.

It seems that every program is looking for ratings that are off the charts. Look at what Rosie O., & Donald Trump. did. How about those Maniacs on Big Brother UK. Or Simon, on American Idol, pushing the buttons so hard on contestants. Cook Island?
WHAT IS NEXT? Are people becoming that calous?

It's not like I'm converting them or anything. I just say things like, hey so how's your Christmas break, and then they go off ranting about how Jesus is not Christ, and he doesnt fulfill the Messianic prophecies. Are Jews normally taught to hate Jesus and Christianity? That's the impression I get.

What is a big element of American culture; an idea, action, shared characteristic, behavior, belief, value, opinion, action, etc. that is viewed as very American? Not necessarily uniquely American, just a large element of American culture.

I'm pro-choice!
1. The world is already overpopulated as it is.
2. It's the woman's body, if she doesn't want it in her, who are you to say she has too.
3. Some mental and medical professionals suggest that a fetus cannot feel pain, no matter how far developed. For example, Stuart Derbyshire, a psychologist at the University of Birmingham, UK, is an expert specializing in how the brain feels pain. He wrote that there is "good evidence that fetuses cannot experience pain." he argues that the complex medical processes necessary for the experience of pain cannot begin until the jolt of life outside the womb kick starts them. The "Earliest" possible time for a fetus to feel pain being in the third trimester.

...that the average intelligence of the followers of your particular brand of belief were significantly below average? Would it bother you to know far more people with extensive educations and above average intelligences believed the opposite as you do?

Heaven is by favor; if it were by merit your dog would go in and you would stay out. Of all the creatures ever made [man] is the most detestable. Of the entire brood, he is the only one... that possesses malice. He is the only creature that inflicts pain for sport, knowing it to be pain. ~Mark Twain
