After all, there is no doubt in your minds that I will burn for not being Christian.

And despite the lack of any scripture to support you, you all seem to believe your god will keep my son in heaven.

(and yes, I've read the quotes given to previous questions, none of those quotes say that a non-christian child goes to heaven).

So not only do you disrespect my beliefs about what happens to my son and I, but you tell me I must convert to Christianity if I am to ever hope to see my son again.

Does this sound better to you than telling me your god will burn both my son and I?

I know very little about it and don't really care to know much beyond the basics, but it seems logical that if there is a devil, then there must also be a God. Is it then that satanists believe their "guy" is the one who'll win the final battle?

Evolution does not prove that there is no god. God works in mysterious ways, and science has proven that evolution is one of the ways in which he works. We already know that animals change over extended periods of time to become better suited for survival in their environment. This is true. But believing in evolution does not make you an atheist!

By the way, if you are a bible-thumper, this next part is for you. Did you ever notice that in Genesis, there are two stories of creation that conflict with each other? Look in your bible some time. It's impossible to believe both of those stories, because they contradict each other. Therefore, it's impossible to believe everything that's written in the bible.

This isn't their room, but yet they come here like lost souls reaching out for the light in their own way.
I can see the spark of divinity in these people, and I know why they are here.

So there are a few questions on Yahoo that people have posted about us becoming Gods. It kinda makes sense to me... Puppies become Dogs, Kittens become Cats... Children of God become Gods? But I haven't read anywhere in the Bible where it says one way or the other. When people have responded in the past they have said stuff like, "because the Bible says so." Does anybody have any scripture references that say one way or the other?

Please only answer if you have a scripture reference, post the scripture, and explain its meaning.

Oh and no non-bible references (Book of Mormon, Quron, etc.). Just the Old Testament and New Testament. Thanks

the stories of the Akkadians and others. Much of the Akkadian works are in writing so it can be easily compared. If their works are considered fables and mythes, how can the Old Testament be considered the word of God? After all, the Jews and their writing of this book came along many years after the Sumerians, the Akkadians and others.

about the universe, Christians (through revelation) or science (through discovery)?

I personally contend that science is EXTREMELY important in terms of understanding and bettering life for ALL people, but that it will never have all the answers, as every discovery prompts numerous new questions. Therefore, religion has just the same chance of answering the Qs about where we came from (in terms of the beginning of the universe, considering there was probably something even before the BB).

So what do y'all say, especially those who swear science is the end all of creation?

(And please, no trite answers about the Big Bang or inaccuracies in the Bible. If that happens to be your conditioned response, consider what the universe was prior to the BB, and I contend the Bible is a legendary story written by fallible humans about some really extraordinary events, but not to be taken 100% literally)

I'm an American only. So can you understand how we might consider you untrustworthy or not a very good American? That you might undermine the American way of life and justify it by saying, "We must obey God rather than men." --?

"He beat her and threatened her with murder. But because husband and wife were both from Morocco [an Islamic country], a German divorce court judge saw no cause for alarm. It's a religion thing, she argued."
"A 26-year-old mother of two wanted to free herself from what had become a miserable and abusive marriage. The police had even been called to their apartment to separate the two -- both of Moroccan origin -- after her husband got violent in May 2006. The husband was forced to move out, but the terror continued: Even after they separated, the spurned husband threatened to kill his wife.

If there's no utimate authority to answer to,noone has more authority than anyone else&as many claim that we are just more advanced animals;then what justifies having morals or the need for morality?Animals in the wild kill,steal&cheat all the time&dont feel bad about it;so no form of morality is needed for them becuase that's the way their world works.Now humans on the other hand do feel bad when we do that stuff;why?If we are only animals then technically we should be able to steal,kill,cheat do any and all evil,wicked&abominable works under the sun and not feel bad about it¬ give a dam what other people think becuase nobody has authority over anybody.
Again what's the justification for morality when animals dont care weather they do evil or good becuase both are equally as valid&OK?

Have you found that if you do not support the predominant religious groups or belong to one of them and you come from average social standing, that you cannot elevate yourself into positions of esteem or monetary gain without significantly more pain and suffering than those who came from those backgrounds?
