Thanks. I really need the verse where it is found.

2007-07-04 17:30:56 · 13 answers · asked by John 4 in Religion & Spirituality

to my question. It wasn't my intention and perhaps I should've worded it better. The reason I singled out Christians is because based on my observation on this board, "some" Christians seem to be the one who spout of at the mouth about "the truth" and try to cram it down other people's throat as if everyone should just shut up and accept it, but yet when atheist or other religion begs to differ, they lash out with insults much like the one I got on my first question.

And no, this is not a new phenomena for me (as one poster suggested). I didn't claim it was. I'm 17 and was raised a Christian (now an atheist) so I know that this kind of thing happens and it has happened to me on numerous occasions in our church.

All I was trying to convey is that "your truth" may not be the same as "my truth" and to please refrain from judging others because they don't believe in the same thing as you do.

Naturally, there is little need for most of us to ever slaughter a rare game animal or endangered species, I mainly speak of the everyday pestilences we face from flies, ants, spiders, roaches, etc.

Plus, if a rabid cat was hissing and advancing toward you, and there was no viable escape, but you had a baseball bat, would you try and negotioate with the cat? Or would you grab the bat and think about PETA later? I'm just curious.

Final query, optional: Why do some people but the rights of insects and animals over humans? I don't think either of us trumps the other...but they have their environment and we have ours. Sorry, I don't find a brown recluse spider cute and cuddly and a candidate to just run about my home unchecked.

Doesnt abolute righteousness mean no sin?...Isnt all sin bad?
I have asked questions about Allah being able to judge by degree...If Allah sees a sinful man and sees more good than bad isn't he calling sin okay? If Allah says this sin is less that the other sin isn't Allah making a degree judgement that partly good is okay? If something is partly good isnt that in reality bad? If your sandwich had rotten in it isnt the whole sandwich thrown away? The God that exisited before Muhamamd definitely said all sin is bad he did not agreewith sin and judged all men as falling short of his righteouness if a man was partly good he was indeed bad. the wages of sin is death according to the God that was before Muhamamd.. It is the reason man needed God's atonement all had snned and fallen short of the glory of God. If your dress was stained it was no good it was not kind of good... if your meat was starting to rot then it was bad meat not somewhat good.

I mean our universe is enormous, and i doubt that there
are no aliens out there. So maybe Jesus is planing on
descending to all other planets for the second time where there might be alien christians awaiting for his arrival. Maybe
earth is last on his list. So whatever his waiting for he must
be up to something. Is he watching TV? Is he playing video
games? Is he masturbating?(not insulting: masturbating is
a normal acting of a normal man)Well he must be up to something right? But yeah, he probably have his hands all tied up considering all the prayers we give him everyday. Would it not be so unkind of us to so rudely interrupt Jesus with
a prayer while he is masturbating? Maybe we should pray less
so he could masturbate more? Well whatever, i want to know what the heck he is doing right now. Jesus please come down
to earth!! I want to go to heaven right now!!

For all of you new Earth Creationists out there (who believe that the Earth is only 6,00 years old), I have a question for you: if the Earth is only 6,000 years old, how do you reconcile that with all of the fossils of the dinosaurs? I know that the Bible mentions something about a bohemeth (sp?), but science and fossil records show that man and dinosaur did not coexist, which would directly contradict the theory that the Earth is so young. In addition, how do explain such scientific methods as carbon-14 dating, which show the Earth to be much older than 6,000 years? For example, there has been artwork found that has been dated as far back as 30,000 BCE (the "Lion-Human Statue"). I am not looking for an argument, nor am I trying to be insulting. I would just like to know your reasoning behind your beliefs. If you are answering, please be respectful of each other and of me. Thanks!

to say that any Christian who doesn't share your beliefs isn't a "Real Christian".

This is hipocracy to the core.

i think bcoz people r looking for luxiries,and dont think upon the poor needs there fore they become materialistic,
most peole think negatively and donot try for passions and truth,so they become unable to differentiate btw the good and bad things and acts,The most common reason is the religion,for which the people donot care,there fore people bcome the wrong doers,try to be a positive thinkers this is success

especially in light of our 'Independence Day'? Every day this country gets closer & closer to becoming a totalitarian regime. Yahoo is an example - another limitation put on our right to free speech.

Ah, but to the lyrics! The great Paul Simon, "The Cool, Cool River":

And I believe in the future
We shall suffer no more
Maybe not in my lifetime
But in yours I feel sure
Song dogs barking at the break of dawn
Lightning pushes the edges of a thunderstorm
And these streets
Quiet as a sleeping army
Send their battered dreams to heaven, to heaven
For the mother’s restless son
Who is a witness to, who is a warrior
Who denies his urge to break and run
Who says: Hard times?
I’m used to them
The speeding planet burns
I’m used to that
My life’s so common it disappears...

Or my favorite lyric:
"I believe in the future
I shall live in my car
My radio tuned to
The voice of a star"

What this country has become would have our forefathers rolling in their graves.

what are christians' problems with homosexual people? i went to a church once where the preacher put gay people in the same category as rapists and murderers. i couldnt believe it! why would someone just choose to be gay, and face the horrible things they know people will do to them?

Just about every other page in the Old Testament has God killing somebody! In 2 Kings 10:18-27, God orders the murder of all the worshipers of a different god in their very own church! In total God kills 371,186 people directly and orders another 1,862,265 people murdered.

I live in Japan and ever since I got a new girlfriend, weird things have been happening. She believes that all those souls who die go to an area where they are reborn, but not just from this planet, from ANY planet in the galaxy. The souls are put on another planet and are supposed to forget EVERYTHING about there past lives. The problem is, she remembers only PARTS of her other life, and in that other life, she was on a different planet with different ways. Now, 4 OTHER frinds I know here are involved in this, including me. Now wierd things have been happening to me and my friends that seem so frekin queer.....but there actually happening. I don't want to believe it, but I have no choice. All 4 of my friends here voices and see things that there not supposed to, they are remembering things they arn't supposed to. And now, evil.....spirits, I guess, are after us supposedly. This is not the whole story. If you want to know more please email me at riverdragon_22@yahoo.com This isn't a JK

This is not meant to be racially offensive. My husband is Native American and we were discussing Cherokee Indians and how we have never seen anyone with facial hair, not even a moustache. Is this a cultural thing or do they not have the hair to grow? Would love to get an answer from a Cherokee and please no stupid answers, am asking a serious question not meant for a joke. Thanks so much!!

((((We can't control what we see or hear in the way you're mentioning. Do make sure though that you're not experiencing symptoms of a mental illness, I say this not to joke, but because I have several schizophrenic relatives.

Psychic abilities do exist, the bible tells us not to communicate with familiar spirits. Communication is a two way thing. If they are talking to you, just don't talk back and be careful about listening to everything you hear. They can be evil spirits trying to manipulate your life, that's why God warns against talking to them. If you hear things, you're not going to go to hell. Go to church and ask questions. Seek and ye shall find. )))


I have went to many Doctors, lots of them, I have had run in with the evil little dudes also. But most what I get is somebody woke me up one night out of a dead sleep yelling my name. I pillow had fallen on my baby, whoever woke me up, saved his life. This has happened a few times, but not always when I am alseep.

What would be worse? Killing the colony of pests to protect your kids from possible anaphylactic shock from multiple fire ant bites, or watching your kid die and/or suffer horribly from the ants and their bites?

What do you do, creature lovers? Me, personally, I have so much Ortho in my lawn, 20 years from now, a queen ant will try and start a colony and lay sterile eggs. I hate ants. Sorry. Bunnies are a different story.
