We had to learn about evolution in our biology class, but why can't they let us learn about creation? Wouldn't it be easier to teach both so we know both sides not just what scientists want us to know? What are your ideas about it? Should they teach both, one or the other, or not teach them at all?

This is the religion section. Why do you come here to talk about something you don't believe in? Why would you try to sway children from the right path? Do you realise you are working for satan and satan has given you logic as a tool against God?

why is it that Catholic priests give counseling to young couples prior to their wedding if they themselves have never been married or even had physical encounters with the opposite sex and have no clue what it means to be living together?

how are they qualified to do this?
and what is said during these meetings?

Daniel 3:25
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. (KJV)

I've seen LOTS of guys with the form of the son of God, mmm, those six-packs, but none of them have ever claimed to be after I told them so!

5th Commandment: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me. (Exodus 20:5)

Deut. 4:24- For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God.

Such a jealous and angry entity certainly doesn't fit the definition of a god.

Do you think the 'war on terror', is just the beginning of a long, drawn out WW3?

I dont believe in supernatural things because I have never seen it and believe everything can be explained scientifically. I heard somewhere that ghosts might just be images of people you seen throughout your life being projected in your mind making you see "ghosts" and etc...

attempt to justify rape of young girls and women by saying that this is just part of someone else's culture and is therefore okay?!?!?!

NO THIS IS NOT AN ANTI-EASTERN OR ANTI-MUSLIM QUESTION - so don't bother with the insults. I am not specifically referring to those cultures. I am asking how people can possibly justify such behaviour by saying we should be tolerant. Which is what several people here seem to do, a hell of a lot.

It makes me sick.

Catholics offered rite to cut purgatory stay
Friday, July 13, 2007BY JIM LEWISOf The Patriot-News
Charles Shriner is a religious pilgrim in a PT Cruiser, driving about 25 miles from his home town to the holy destination he seeks -- a cathedral on State Street in the city.

There, at St. Patrick Cathedral, his pilgrimage is complete. After Mass and confession, he and other pilgrims -- his wife and sister among them -- have taken advantage of a rare offer by the Roman Catholic Church to reduce their souls' time in purgatory after death.

The church is offering its 240,000 followers in central Pennsylvania a plenary indulgence that might reduce the time their souls spend in purgatory to be cleansed of their sins.

The bible as we know it was not compiled until late in the 4th century at the Synod at Hippo. Before this there were many books purported to be scripture, such as Romans II. If the early church relied on Sola scriptura they were pretty much up a creek, I would think.
