If so, what?

I know you think that Witchdraft is evil. But if a Witch does something like make a cup of tea for a friend or gives to a charity, is that evil just because a Witch does it?

If an atheist were presented with the opportunity to perform a random act of kindness that no one would ever know about, and might inconvenience him even the slightest bit, why would he ever even consider doing the act, even if it had a very good chance of saving a life, or even just saving someone a lot or a little bit of money?

I would like SERIOUS (and polite) ANSWERS ONLY please, from any faith, belife system, atheist, whatever. This is not a fight - it is a search for assorted answers, whatever they turn out to be. Please state only your own opinion, don't diss others.

QUESTION: How do you prove Creationism? (Not, "why do you think it's true' but how do you PROVE it?)

Someone on a list I'm on said "i don't believe that science does back up evolution. i think there are many factors that play into that allegedly being proven."

Now I have a few sub-questions.

Sub-Question 1: How do you think science has NOT proved evolution?

Sub-Question 2: What are these "factors?"

Sub-Question 3: How do you "debunk" things like carbon dating or fossil evidence?

This is just one of those things where whenever I ask someone who doesn't believe in evolution I get a response like "It just doesn't prove it!" or "That's just how it is!" or "because the bible says so!" Those are not "real" answers.

Instead of writing God, some people write G-d. What does that mean? How is it different from writing God (if you were the one writing it)? I dont have an opinion on whether its good or bad because it would depend on the motive, i think. I'd like honest input from everyone!

Remember: I'll respect you; please do the same for me!

Hey, aren't they a form of christians. Why are they regarded as the weird ones and other forms of christianity are not.

What are the difference in their beliefs, and why do they come to your door.

I found something on the net, a story from a guy who had them knocking at his oo:
"Got a good story...My Brother and his family lived in Raleigh, NC and 3 days in a row he had the Jehovah's witness knocking on his door...quite annoying but he was nice and said no I am happy with my religion.....He got tired of it after the third day and then next week I was over visiting when he saw them coming AGAIN, I told him to just not answer it he said No then they will keep coming so he said I am gonna put a stop to this...He strips down to his underwear(whitie tighties) and answers the door and was inviting them in, they looked mortified...He said come on in and lets talk religion...This could be fun...after picking there jaws up off the ground they said no sir but thank you? .

It is stupid to believe an ignorant athiest from the 1800's but it is really stupid to believe that ghost can be justified through humanistic beliefs. I only need answers from anyone who can explain how atheism and the belief in spiritual beings can coexist.

to decide between the older 2 siblings (both married) to be your best man & maid of honor?

One is a Christian and one is not.

The Christian was involved in helping through the tough years and there for advice when I was growing up.
The other is oldest of us. A bit irresponsible but fun.

Just what exactly has Paris Hilton, Nicky Hilton and Nicole Ritchie done to make them newsworthy?? Paris & Nicole are both drug addicted nobodies with famous relatives, not rock stars or scientists. I could take a walk out into the western suburbs any time I like if I wanted to see drug addicts, so why must we be bombarded with these idiots everytime we pick up a newspaper or switch on the television?

i am not talking about promiscuity over here. i am talking about being sexually open to different experiences in a mature responsible way...
i know some of u will give me verses that talk about "purity", but i am wondering if that's a concept that has been mistakenly tied to sex rather than other areas of being!

God in both manifestations love us unconditionally. But on physical and spiritual levels we see some difference in their love towards us..

so what is .. When we start loving Krishna
and what happens when we fall in love with shiva.
