Every thought and emotion you have is controlled by your brain. There is no separate entity or "spirit" inhabiting your body. Why do you still believe there is, when it has been proven there is not?

I asked if god can be proved. the main defense was that he couldnt be disproved.

btw im pretty sure that we dont even have to disprove adam and eve, and noahs flood. thats just obvious.

but the whole DIS-proving... so, if what youre saying is, i cant DIS-prove god, he must be real?

well if you cant disprove the flying spaghetti monster... he must be real as well!

or bhudism... or islam... is hinduism... or judaism...or

hey, how about evolution, because it actually has been proven, and cannot be disproved as well.

I asked everyone to translate this paragraph into spanish and most of the translations different people gave were similar to eachother but some differences,

(un novato con 139 libras) & (como novato con 139 libras)

same sentence but slight difference, can you explain? how does "como" mean the same as "un", and what does "con" mean in this sentence

My husband and I are in our 20's. We bought our first home a year and a half ago. We are expecting our second child shortly. My in-laws live 3 hours away and when they visit us they stay overnight at our house, which only has 2 bedrooms. I do not have the best relationship w/ them (see another question of mine!) and it is really stressful for me with them sleeping in my living room for days at a time. If we had another room where they could stay , it wouldn't be so bad. Now with the baby coming it's going to be even more crowded. Is there a way to say this nicely?

My wife and I were talking about this last night. Anyone ever heard that the devil was the angel of music or words to that effect.

We've both heard people say that but I couldn't remember any scriptures that said that.

Does anyone know where that came from?

Thanks...

Honestly, I am not sure. I believe that the man Jesus lived and he was a great teacher. So it you add the gnostic gospels and throw out Paul, I might accept some of the bible.

I am afraid I could never accept the gay bashing though. I am one of those that thinks it is none of your business who sleeps with whom. We are born with our sexuality it is not a choice.

I would have a problem with my way is the only way. Now I know that most Christians believe that is not true, so I'll give you that one.

If you believe in a God, what is it that bothers you?

I'm not talking about extinct animals, or buried cities. I'm talking about things that we know exist in the here and now.

Ask yourself this very simple question... is there ANYTHING that we KNOW for CERTAIN which we do not have some sort of empirical evidence for? The answer is NO. Everything that we KNOW exists, we have a way of verifying. Gravity, atoms, clouds, tomatoes, bulldogs... all these things can be proposed and verified through testable, demonstrable methods.

On the other hand, all the things that we DO NOT know for CERTAIN exist - astrology, ghosts, ESP, alien abductions, bigfoot, GODS - we have no evidence of. In fact, our attempts to verify their existence always fail, or worse, indicate that they DO NOT exist. Therefore;

Things we know exist = we have evidence of.
Things we do not know exist = we have no evidence of.

By following this simple proof it is clearly impossible to make the claim that we KNOW a god exists. The best we can say is we hope a god exists.

“Judge not, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven”
Luke 6:37
How do you interpret this since we are practically judging all the time, what are we missing out on?

I'm in favour of same-sex marriages. I'm no major activist or anything, just think gays should have the same rights as straight people. Would I not been labelled gay or something for having this view?

I am hetrosexual, some college 'fun and games' confirmed it.
