Does money make someone more attractive? Just on the physical sense I mean. They could be the ugliest person in the world, but if that person asked you out and gave you gifts (expensive in nature) and drove a nice "luxury" car or modeled car, would you ask them out?

...or go with the cute but gravely poor man.

Both are nice people.

I am doing bible study now and I'm trying to see what you think of this question?

Countless times I've read Atheists attacking Christians with insults such as "bigot", "hypocrite," and I've seen no better from the Christians, calling (us) Atheists "damned to Hell," along with various other statements putting (us) Atheists down. I just have a few questions to ask here.. mostly for those of Christian faith:

1. God teaches love and compassion. With that, do you feel ashamed of yourselves in any way for putting us down and calling us an "enemy" because we don't follow your faith?
2. In the Bible Jesus says, "If you deny my before man, I will deny you before my father in Heaven." Suggesting that we're given the option to either "take it or leave it" with Jesus' words, why do you still feel the need to "save us from damnation"?
3. If you know in your heart and in your head that you're right about whether God exists or not, why does it matter in any way what I or anybody else believes? Why is it so capital that everyone believe in God?

Just a few thoughts...

Do you believe that the stories in these versions are true? What is your basis for believing or not believing in them? Why believe in one book just because it is included in the Bible, but not in another just because it was left out?

Just curious to hear your thoughts. I'm not a Christian, but I think the early history of Christianity is very interesting and I would love to hear your thoughts on this issue.

Thank you for your answers.

What are properties of soul?
Can we live without soul? (MUSLIMS) (God takes away our soul every night when we go to sleep right?)
Is soul our conscious?
If we can't recognize soul with out the body that means the soul needs the body as much as the body needs the soul. So then soul won't be capable of surviving on its own because if conscious is our soul then our actions depend on the soul and the Soul uses the body to do the bidding?
Am I a confused soul right now? lol
AM I making sense?


Do atheists believe in soul?

I noticed that the leader of LDS group is a President so I guess it's just a business. As Christians we have Bishops, Popes, Pastors etc. Why is the leader of the Mormons a corporate position rather than parochial vocation?

I'm working on a project for one of my grad school classes, and I was hoping to find a shelter that took in gay youth that either ran away or were kicked out. The shelter needs to be in the Pittsburgh (South Western, PA area).

I am a Christian but went to a Mormon mass at the LDS church with my friend. Is that sinful? I know that Mormons don't believe the same as us Christians.

I dont know what to believe anymore. I feel like I have my own "beliefs" but sometimes they tend to contradict themselfs. I wish I had stronger religion in my household growing up. I do believe in God. Is that enough?

In Genesis 3:22, after the fall of Adam and Eve, God basically said that they could not come back and eat of the tree of life because they would live forever as God. Does this meant that man was not created to live forever? At least not to live forever physically?

I have. It's kind of scary. Picturing myself with a wife, etc. Up until I was about 14 my thoughts about life were having a wife and kids etc. I even had a girlfriend and went with her to her freshman prom (we broke up after she cheated on me, I was in love with here though, puppy love or whatever). A few years later when I realized I was Gay she wanted to get back together, I was in the military at the time (still in denial) and tried to make it work but things just weren't working (if you get my drift). I later told her (even though I gave it my best), that it wasn't her, it was me. But I still remember when we were about 16 we drove by the Mayor's house (drunk off our butt's) and saying that we would have a house like that when we get married. Did you have any experience's like that. Not that I think (knowing now) that it would ever worked out. But do you ever wonder what kind of life you would be living if you weren't Gay. It's kind of scary to me.

Why do Athiest sweep quotes like these under the rug?

"The statistical probability that organic structures and the most precisely harmonized reactions that typify living organisms would be generated by accident, is zero."

- Ilya Prigogine (Chemist-Physicist)
Recipient of two Nobel Prizes in chemistry


"The really amazing thing is not that life on Earth is balanced on a knife-edge, but that the entire universe is balanced on a knife-edge, and would be total chaos if any of the natural 'constants' were off even slightly. You see," Davies adds, "even if you dismiss man as a chance happening, the fact remains that the universe seems unreasonably suited to the existence of life -- almost contrived -- you might say a 'put-up job'."

- Dr. Paul Davies
(noted author and Professor of Theoretical Physics at Adelaide University)"...

Is it because it is convenient to be male or that most people would respond to a male avatar than a female? Just would like to hear your opinions.
