I have heard such outragous claims made by religious people personally.

What sorts of nutty, and funny claims have you heard from the mouths of the faithful to the ears of "god" ?

My whole life I have tried to read the bible and either have not understood what I read or could not keep my interest going because of the way it is written. Does anyone know about any good books that describe religion or the bible but is on cd or tape?

Follow me on this. Intelligent design says that certain natural phenomenon, especially those that can not yet be proven through the scientific method, are caused by a higher, intelligent power. So, a few hundered years ago, people would not have had the data to understand and harness the power of electricity and therefore weather and lightning were made from God's hands. There would have been teachings in school to stop using the scientific method to test theories, alter variables, and provide evidence. The teachings would have said "electricity can not be explained by scientific evidence, therefore god shoots it out of his pinky." If people believed in this, they would have given up on electricity. We would have not had electricity today nor would we have the benefits that have come from it.

All things were made by Him (see John 1:3), including dinosaurs. Why then did the dinosaur disappear? The answer may be in Job 40:15–24. In this passage, God speaks about a great creature called "behemoth." Some commentators think this was a hippopotamus. However, the hippo’s tail isn’t like a large tree, but a small twig. Following are the characteristics of this huge animal: It was the largest of all the creatures God made; was plant-eating (herbivorous); had its strength in its hips and a tail like a large tree. It had very strong bones, lived among the trees, drank massive amounts of water, and was not disturbed by a raging river. He appears impervious to attack because his nose could pierce through snares, but Scripture says, "He that made him can make his sword to approach unto him." In other words, God caused this, the largest of all the creatures He had made, to become extinct.

Nobody questions hetrosexuality, so why do people question us on something that is equally unchanganle and unimportant?

Isn't that a little like telling me I have to believe in 6-foot tall rabbits before I'll start seeing them?

Over and Over I am told I have to take a leap of faith first.

But isn't that what Hitler did when he decided to take over the world and wipe out the Jews?

They say "read the bible". How many popes "read the bible" and decided it was time to kill a new batch of heretics, or start a war against the Mulsims? How many preachers on either side of the Civil War preached that God does/doesn't condone slavery?

They say "read it with an open mind", but "open mind" looks a lot like the "closed mind" of a religious zealot.

Then when nothing works, they say I'm not "serious" enough or "sincere" enough. In other words, since I'm not a believer, I can't find God.

Bottom line seems to be I'm supposed to take their word for it: God is real. Would you buy a car like that? If not, how less likely is it you will swear life-long allegiance to a god with no more reason than that?

of the grave sight of Charles Taze Russell..Have you ever viewed it? It is a huge Pyamid with a cross and crown on all sides engraved in stone and the workds Watchtower and also the words "Laodician Messenger" engraved in it. I doubt you guys will ever look it up to see for your self. But, if he was a prophet wouldn't he know that Jehovah's Witnesses do not have anything to do with the cross emblem? What are your thoughts about this?

I am a eastern European white guy who moved from the north to the south. Up north, half of my friends are black. They all act cool. We are all equals. I listen mostly to Rap music.
When I moved to the south, I noticed blacks acting completely racist to me (staring me down in public places; if I am in a restaurant they say "here" when they hand you the food instead of "have a nice day;" and I know this because a lot of my other white friends said the same thing. This is why most of my friends from up north say the same old saying "I like black people, but I hate n****s." I agree. There is no excuse as to why they should be acting this way. They are simply acting out of ignorance. Any black person in America has more opportunities and a better life than most white people in the rest of the world yet they act like they got shorted on something. Stop being racist and get over it.

For those Christians (and those who only call themselves that) who believe that marriage should only take place between a man and a woman...Why aren't families more supportive when they find out their daughter is marrying a man who is obviously gay, or a straight man who is marrying a lesbian? Doesn't that count as an attempt to "redeem" them?
