Many of them starred this guys question http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AtSRRtAYwoP.1yUqvi29G2zd7BR.?qid=20070608165106AA1d3SE&cp=4&tp=4&tnu=95#all-answers even though they knew it would keep him out of church. The vast majority did it in a way that was good-natured too.

(And yes, I really did ask a question! See the topic!)

Once in a while when I'm at Padre Island, I'll take a nude stroll on the shore, but it's always at nighttime, when families/kids are almost certain not to be around, and on an area of the beach that not too many people
are at when I do it. Sometimes another nighttime beachcomber or couple strolling by sees me, and so far no one has said anything negative. One young man told me to "put on a thong at least, man" but not in an aggressive tone. I am pleased at the tolerance I've encountered.

Ephesians 2:8-10 God saved you by his special favor when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God'd masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so that we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

For those Christians who believe that works and sacraments are a "condition" of our free gift of salvation rather than a "result" of it, I have a few questions. Please support your answer with Bible references and not opinions.
1. How much work is required?
2. How do you know when you have done enough?
3. Who gets the credit for your salvation?
4. Did Jesus not complete his work on the cross, that he left some of it for us to do?
Thankyou in advance for your answers.

If you are going to say that ALL Christians today are to blame for all the war and killings in history in the name of God,

then, if that is true, wouldn't it be like saying ALL white people today are responsible for black opression in the past?

Or, ALL white people are guilty of stealing land from the Indians in the past?

And please don't tell me that ALL the black oppressers and land stealers were Christian.

This study: http://www.detnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070529/LIFESTYLE03/705290323/1040 sheds a lot of light on what we think about morality.

In testing, when subjects are asked to think about giving to charity and donating money for good causes, a very primitive part of their brain lights up, that is similar to hunger and the sex drive.

In many studies on animals, over and over again, we see that they are compassionate and altruistic. How does this impact our ideas about the nature of morality? Is it divine or does it evolve naturally?

I was recently doing my grocery shopping at a popular discount foodmart. Many people go there because the prices are lower. This particular day, the man in front of me was disagreeing with the cashier about the price of a carton of eggs. Anyways he placed the eggs into his shopping cart, but afterwards threw it back to the cashier and said he didn't want it. In the process of throwing, one egg was cracked. The cashier said she could not take it back because one egg was damaged by him. The man said meanly, "It's only one broken, so what!" The cashier called the manager and the cashier explained what happened. I said I saw it too. The man yelled at me "Shut up!" His wife was behind him and also told me to shut up. The manager said it's just one egg. It's not worthwhile to make a scene or let it hold up the line. The wife then paid for the bill with a hundred dollar bill. The couple left in a state of anger. It's obvious they are rich people because I saw them drive away in a luxury car.

1. Conservatives cannot attack an arguement with facts, and therefore must resort to loose inductive reasoning, mental speculation and abusive expletives.
2. Few people are interested in God's trancendental and perfect nature. Instead they remain occupied with the flowery words of the books and gospels without trying to understand the true meaning.
3. God did not write the bible. Even if he inspired those who wrote it, many books were not included. God could not have influenced the synods of Hippo without infringing on individual free will.
4. The bible is not perfectly true, therefore we must understand God solely in that he is perfect.
5. God is perfect and can take part in no sin.
6. Evil exists to allow maximum free will.
7. Many sins have occured in Iraq (abu gharib as one example)
8. God cannot give authority to sin, as goodness is part of his nature, and his creation flows from his nature.
9. God cannot be any justification for the war in Iraq, which is a sin.

4:157. That they said (in boast), "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah.;- but they killed him not, nor crucified him, but so it was made to appear to them, and those who differ therein are full of doubts, with no (certain) knowledge, but only conjecture to follow, for of a surety they killed him not:-

But, for example, a three legged dog or a dog missing one eye...the other dogs still play and treat these dogs as they would any other dog. Is there a lesson for humanity in this? Can we see past our physical and spiritual differences and help one another?

Let's stick with majorities, too, I'm sure there are a minority of exceptions where this wasn't the case (dogs with rabies or others that were abused or trained to be mean, that's not the norm, though).
