Therefore, I just asked this question but I did not get a good enough answer. This time I am going to reword it and attempt to filter out all of the irrelevant non-sense. I want an actual relevant answer to this question, please do not post and answer that really does not answer the question.

I understand that the entire world does not agree with the bible. I do not have a problem with this particular fact. My problem is that many people (not all) who do not believe in Christianity disrespect the religion as if it is completely trash. Many people refuse to recognize that there is some wisdom in the bible. I am Christian but I do see the good in other religions. Karma is not a Christian idea but it is still a wise one. The same goes for ideas in many other religions. AS for Jesus, he was a liberal for his time. He was anti violent. (See other question for example... and no, it is not referring to Islam)
I am a liberal democrat who is by no means trying to convert society.

As a Christian, I've never met single one in my entire life. They don't go to my church, they don't live in my community, I've never bumped into one at the mall, I've never seen them on TV, or heard them on the radio. So, where are they all? Perhaps, they are just a figment of the imaginary and delusional minds of atheists, liberals, humanists, etc.?

Lets just say 500 years from now, science isolates the gene that regulates "religion".
Lets suppose hospitals mandated all mothers must have this vaccine to prevent their unborn from developing religious experiences.
Would you take it?
I predict A Sam Harris will one day find the cure for religion through eugenics.

This surprisingly common argument reflects several levels of ignorance about evolution. The first mistake is that evolution does not teach that humans descended from monkeys; it states that both have a common ancestor.

The deeper error is that this objection is tantamount to asking, "If children descended from adults, why are there still adults?" New species evolve by splintering off from established ones, when populations of organisms become isolated from the main branch of their family and acquire sufficient differences to remain forever distinct. The parent species may survive indefinitely thereafter, or it may become extinct.

There is now NO REASON for you to make this ignorant statement EVER AGAIN..!
But will you..??

After a series of silly and irrelevant events following a party, a former acquaintance of mine was talking to my best friend. This former acquaintance said about me, "I can't be friends with her, anyway. She's an atheist or something. And I'm a Catholic."

I've been puzzling over this for some time now. Personally, I think she was unable to be an adult and look me in the face about those irrelevant events I spoke of. However, it seemed amusing to me that someone would use their religious belief in such a manner.

What's even funnier to me is that I'm not an atheist. I'm agnostic. But she seems to think there's no difference. Or that we're all the same. Or maybe she doesn't know the difference.

As I'm unable (and maybe a little unwilling) to contact her myself, can someone please explain this logic to me? Why do some people feel that friendships cannot happen between people with different beliefs? And if that wasn't her motivation, why would anyone use their beliefs in such a manner?

Adam and Eve were the line of people leading to Jesus and the line of Cain being the line that leads to the anti christ? I was thinking of the way some people looked, CroMagnum and Neanerthal Man. The line of Cain was destroyed in the flood of Noah's time but how much of their blood was in the wives of Noah's sons? Skeletons could have been left from that time. After all we are still finding dinosaur bones and fossils to testify to their existence and they were destroyed before Adam and Eve and the animals of the new time were created. The Bible says in Genesis, "replenish".

No matter where I go, everyone is so closed minded about religion. If you say something that's not in the bible that has to do with religion, they get mad at you. Why do they make such a big deal out of it?

Spirituality is related to God, or the divinity, where as religion is manmade for the convenience of administration. Is it necessary to be a part of any religion to be spiritually enlightened? If then what are the religions of Buddha and Christ?
