Yes, and that means anyone on this site. People in America are so stupid. I told my brother the other day, "out of the ten people you pass on the side walk, you are smarter than ten of them" and it is so damn true,,, why are most americans (especially people from California, New York, the South) so stupid,, this is why

1. Your stupid compulsion to buy things you don't need and bury yourself in debt
2. Following anything television tells you , what to buy, wear, say, etc
3. Taking such an interest in a sporting team,, like it matters who wins a game, big deal, you are not on the team
4. No education, everyone in this country should have a master's degree with the education availible to them --i have 2
5. No excercise---I live in Minnesota,, a lot of fat people here, go out and jog---stop making me pay for your healthcare
6. Bad life choices smoking, drugs, etc.
7. Majority of people are about as deep as a frisbee, and care only about shallow things

That seems to be the only logical explaination to me. This "God" being must twist or manipulate your mind, so that you can be happy while people who used to love are blazing in hellfire forever. How twisted and manipulative is that?

If morality is merely something that is decided by society, then how can you claim we have a right to anything? Now I know the Founding Fathers were not devout Christians by any means, but they strongly believed in inalienable rights, which are imparted in us by a Supreme Being. Doesn't mean they are right of course, but if you argue that a woman has a right to chose, who says she has a right to chose? Herself? But I thought society was supposed to decide? Where does a homosexual's right to marry the same sex come from?

There are four ways to govern a society: 1) Representative government (i.e. states will disagree and there will be no uniformity) 2) Mob rule (51% of the people oppress 49%) 3) A leader rules (Supreme Court, President, dictator, etc) 4) Anarchy, no one tells us what to do...

Which one is more in tune with what you believe? Or did I miss one? And just if you think "no one can tell us what to do" then how can there even be a co-existant, governed society?

Don't say "God", i mean about who goes to hell or not, the bible doesn't say "You must all ACCEPT jesus as your saviour", it says about belief in him, God didn't give us an interpretation, we should all do it for ourselves.

Please don't think me racist. It's my stepfathers birthday next week (he's from Glasgow) and I have been asked to prepare a speech. As well as the usual flowery family bit I want to stick in a few (preferably clean) Scottish jokes. Any ideas?

Would you still consider it loving to see your spouse or children tossed into the lake of fire? Or are you so cold-hearted that you think they deserve it for what ever it was that they did or didn't do? Can you really be eternally separated from the ones you love the most?

Mostly people see them are either relatives and close friends...
Some able to see them is because they offended the ghosts...
some just born to see them......

I frequently stay in motels (cheap ones, like Motel 6). My parents taught me to leave a dollar or two as a tip for the maid when I leave ($1 or $2 for each night, leaving it all at once when I leave). However, no one else I've asked has ever done this. Am I wasting my money, or am I supposed to leave a small tip?

At a number of occasions in the New Testament, we clearly see/hear the Father and Son in different places. How can this be, if you believe in the Trinity? Can God temporarily divide himself?

Take the story of Jesus's baptism. Jesus was in the water. A voice from Heaven declares that he is pleased with his only Son. The Holy Ghost descends upon Jesus like a dove. All three members of the Trinity are present here, each in a different place.

How can we understand the idea of Trinity in light of this type of event and other similar ones (Transfiguration, Crucifixion, Stephen's martyrdom)? Please explain in a way that a normal human being can understand.

... that the "Religion & Spirituality" section applies to EVERY religion (and not just theirs) aznd that Atheism is a religion like any other (just without a God) and therefore has every right to be here?

And that Spirituality also applies to people who believe in the "occult"?

You have to have just as much faith in that to be true as you would a religion.

Science: systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation.

Faith: confidence or trust in a person or thing. Belief that is not based on proof.

No one has observed something evolve firsthand. As an example, no one has observed a monkey turn into a human. No one can cause a monkey to turn into a human by experimentation. They have FAITH that the monkey turned into a human.

It's not science, it is a belief based on faith, not on observable facts or experimentation....therefore it is not science. It is a religion.
