Often we heard that God gave us the intelligence to solve the problems by our own. But when trouble comes to us and with all the intelligence we have, we still pray for God to help us, to choose for us, to protect us and to save us. Yet, the human itself is the one who can help, choose, protect and save themselves. Are we loosing faith when trouble comes? Or isit that we are too dependent on God to show us the way?

Believe it or not, I don't think I would.

I just cannot stomach this "deal" that the Christians claim their god has setup with humans.

The idea that I have to obey some invisible being, or think in a way other than I am naturally inclined, in order to be entitled to a reward when I die is repulsive to me, even if that being is responsible for everything.

The wife of a middle-aged gentleman I know died about six months ago, and he is very lonely. He is from Spain and his English is not that great, although he is friendly and gets along with lots of people. We don't live in a part of the country with a large Spanish-speaking population. What kind of community groups or support groups do you think would be available for him to get to know people and make friends? Where should I look?

current socity is governed by science. from ATM machine to Computer screen. From vegetable farm to kitchen...everywhere its the simple and complicated science theories. Non of those books have not helped the mankind to achive this level. We are now seeking other planets and travelling outer space. The question is - why we still spoonfed our children with old traditional stuff? sorry about poor grammer or spelling.

Many television shows (The Mole, Big Brother, The Weakest Link, Survivor, most reality t.v. shows, and in a lesser degree, American Idol) seem to be presenting some of the worst parts of human nature as virtues. There have lately been many home videos posted on the internet of children fighting at the urging of adults and even group attacks on a certain individual.
Such behaviors used to be soundly criticized and discouraged...but not any more.
Are we becoming a people that value entertainment more than anything else? Do we now consider cuelty and betrayal a necessary part of success?

This is a question for my religious studies course, and for some reason the wording is throwing me off and I can't grasp what they're asking me to look for. I am lost. This is a class about the transliteration of the hebrew bible from hebrew into english. Dealing with the way things in the bible are interpreted/misinterpreted. If that helps or not I'm not sure, but any help is greatly appreciated.

There seems to be alot of people that put gays on the front of their agenda. Every gay question gets a lot of answers. Are there a lot of gay people answering, or just a lot of people that feel pasionate about the issue?

Here is a fun one-

Given: Jesus = God. God = Omnipotent. God = knows everything that will ever happen.

So following this logic, even as a 2 minute old "infant", Jesus knew that he was going to get nailed to the cross. Seeing as Jesus=God, and God is immortal, the crucifixtion could not have possibly killed Jesus.

Can you honestly consider this to be a sacrifice when
a) he knew it was coming the work around way before he was born...
b) knew that he could not possibly be harmed, much less killed by it...
c) made up the entire plan himself to reopen the gates of heaven to get his believers back in (guess he was getting lonely?)

How can you possibly consider this a sacrifice?
