It seems as if everyone loved the first question about why you should do good deeds if you're an athiest... I'm not as crazy or evil as everyone else on here... that being said.....

If you are an athiest then what is the point in living? What do you hope to do with your life? Do you really think that most people's lives (even the religious) ever mean anything to anyone else except family and a few close friends. Do you know your ancestors that died over a hundred years ago... and if so do you really care...( do you miss them? I bet you don't really care unless there is some trivial little fact you can point out... i mean after all they're dead, that's it! End of story...) Eventually this will happen to you as well, in long enough time nobody's going to even care you existed... that's the whole point. What is the meaning of life 4 nonbelievers taking this into consideration... This may be depressing for EVERYONE, but deep down in your cold hearts you know it's true.

Only serious answers, please. :) I have been wondering about this - we don't ask the art world to explain physics. :) As a college graduate married to a Ph.D. chemist, we are intelligent people and NOT blind-faith Christians - but we ARE Christians, and I have always loved astronomy - but it seems like people in the science world reject religion a lot. I know I'm generalizing - any thoughts on the issue?? I'd love to hear your opinions! :)

Example: Senior citizens tend to be (tend to be doesn't mean "always") very financially conservative. Is that because of the generation they grew up in? Or is it because they are old?

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

that seems like he approved of it, all the violence, death, destruction, incest etc.

Okay, I've been researching Genesis & the history of the African empire. I've read alot of sources on this & here is what I came up with:

1. We know that there was human life on earth prior to the Bible with dates about 6,000 years.

2. We know that the 1st origins of man began in Africa

3. We know that at that time the earth was populated with people of color (what the US would call minorities)

4. We know that Jesus himself was most likely of color (most say Middle Eastern), b/c of the region he was in at that time

So if humans (minorities) were already on earth, God must have been creating NEW life. Any thoughts or INTELLIGENT opinions?

I know this might be offensive to some ppl & I fully expect to have some hateful comments, but I'm just too curious to leave well enough alone.

FYI..I know Gen is not all factual, I've learned that there is truth hidden in fiction. Sort of like how they hide facts in movies (ie the Davinci Code)

Is it through lack of sleep? Through denial of feeling the anger and releasing it? Through a hurt self? Through pride? Through being misrepresented and gossiped about to others? In the long run, does it matter what causes it? As a friend has just made me aware, we are All humans and are All plagued by Humanity. Is being a "Spiritual being having a human experience" the main answer? Growth, always growing. Thank you my friends. I smile. I bow to you.

Namaste

Peace and Love

because they haven't accepted Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. So they survive the horrors of Hitler's Holocaust only to find it's a cakewalk compared to what Christianity has in store for them.

How can any good Christian worship a religion that sends 4.5 BILLION of their fellow planet dwellers to roast in the fiery pits of eternal hell for having a difference of opinion? Okay so it’s imaginary – it’s still not a very nice thing to do, even metaphorically speaking. I'm not trying to be rude. Just confused as to how a religion that speaks of compassion, brother love, “turning the other cheek”, "love they neighbor" can not cry out at this injustice. Where is your humanity? Can somebody please explain this in civilian, (i.e. non-religious) terms

"God so loved the world that he made up his mind to damn a large majority of the human race."
— Robert Ingersoll

"It is setting a high value upon our opinions, to roast men alive on account of them."
— Michel Eyquem de Montaigne

This is how it appears to me. If Jesus was God, then he paid Himself with his own blood for something he didn't do. If he was the son of God, then the Father asked Himself for a ransom from Himself. Do either of these this make sense? Surely God could forgive us without torturing Himself or any of His alleged offspring. What kind of God would have Himself killed to make some kind of point about His love for us?

and forgiving... and this what Christians believe, then why do Christians hold a difference in religion against another damning them to hell?
My point being, if someone is raised in another part of the world...even here it doesn't matter... and they were raised of another faith, and they lived by standards and morals and were good and kind within society and their own personal circles.... if they lived in a Christian like way but not believing in Christ they were just of a different religion...
how can they persecute them for something they know nothing of?
Is that God like, is that not judging someone?

Why do people have water baptism? Jesus received the title "Christ" because of the anointing not because of a water baptism.
