Why is it that Christians are constantly right and everyone else is wrong? Excuse me for having a mind and trying to LEARN something for myself. That book you all cherrish so much has good points, but there are OTHER books with the same points in them. Oh and before you all call for my head, remember your little book tells you "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and well since your all living and breathing you shouldn't be throwing much of anything my way. Your not always right, your just a majority. Then again in a small town somewhere people who drink poisoned kool-aid are a majority. So tell me, why cant someone else think for themselves? Oh I know because we're evil and doomed to hell. I'll bring the beer!

Humanity is made up of many tiers of intelligence and awareness. The truth is...almost all scientists and high IQ humans know that all religion is false. Anyone intelligent enough to understand evolution knows this reality, without any doubt.

Once you realize all religion is false, history unfolds to reveal the horrors of this disease. Religion posions everything and essentially slows the capablities of man to snails pace, and even reverses it.

The intellectuals of the world have know this for a while, however they constantly have to appease the ignorant herd, or as some call it, dealing with the "tryanny of the weak (stupid, whatever)".

The human species itself faces many possible extinction events, yet, so long as we are diseased by religion, slowed by its prudish mores, plagued by its many wars and terrorist movements, divided by its "us against them" teachings...we simply cant collectively defend the species itself against the impending doom.

The bird was once seen while driving on a remote country road near a small church. It looked like a hawk or eagle, but I didn't know there were white ones. It could have been an owl, but it was daytime.

I'm Catholic and this is about the papacy, so that's why I am looking for answers from other Catholics. Thanks for understanding.

As the Church teaches, when the pope speaks and teaches of the Holy Scripture, he is infallible then. The Holy Spirit guides God's Word and God is infallible....... My question is -
Pope Benedict had written many things while he was Cardinal Ratzinger. He was not ever declared infallible as cardinal. Now as pope, I know of at least 2 of those writings that now have been declared as encyclicals by him. So, am I to understand that these writings when he was a cardinal, as a Catholic, I didn't have to believe them to be infallible but now I am to believe them to believe infallible? His new writings after he became pope I can accept as infallible. But I don't understand how some of his writings from years ago can now be delared infallible. Can any of you explain this to me?

I haven't read them yet. I've only read ones from Pope JPII.

How do the scholars come up with the 7 year timeline for the Tribulation and which seal and bowl etc will happen during certain seasons? It seems to me that the scriptures used in Daniel and Revelations are difficult to interpret. It's like a huge maze to come up with this timeline. How do you know that this interpretation is accurate?

When studying these scriptures, it seems like someone decided that this interpretation was just going to be accepted, and everyone else has just accepted it at face value because Biblical scholars have accepted this jigsaw puzzle as the correct interpretation.

How do they (scholars) come up with the 7 year time line for the Great Tribulation. Is it possible that the 42 months (3-1/2 years) is based on a different calendar system than our modern day calendar. Or that the 42 months is referring to something entirely different?

How can they be sure that the visions of Daniel apply to the end times and that they should be merged with Revelations?

I've read a lot of answers, from xians in particular, who have been very quick to put bulletholes in the big bang and this thing called reality

Why not choose logic and actually *live* rather than believe and hope for something when u die?

the reason the romans used it so much was because it took days for people to die. But jesus only spent a few hours up there (fortunatley for him, as it isn't a pleasent death)

that is based on inconclusive information and goes against what reasonable, ethical people believe?

Are they denying the blood of Christ? Also why are there huge similarities between their Temple rituals and Freemasonry rituals? How can they explain all the occult symbols on the Temple such as the pentagram, the all seeing eye, and the secret handshakes?

I've read a lot of answers, from Atheists in particular, who have been very quick to put bulletholes in the belief of God and in Christ.

While I am a Christian myself, and not seeking any other doctrine or lack thereof, I am in search of some understanding. from those who push organized religion to the wayside, and who embrace the theory that there is no God, or Heaven or Hell, or salvation in Christ.

Instead, what do you believe? What has brought you to these conclusions? What has proven to you that the Christian belief is erroneous?

It should be known that I am not judging you, or condemning your belief system, but simply trying to create a venue for you to clear up any misinformation about your convictions. I believe it is important for us all to understand each other. Also, I don't believe that it is fair for any one of us to make claim against another without fully understanding (not necessarily agreeing with) another's side.

BA to the most insightful answer.

Like most people, I want happiness and peace for everyone. No war, no racism, no starving, no homeless...you get the picture.
Is it possible...?
If a majority want this, can we not make change? and no, I am not religious.

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?
Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave
Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?
Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?
When you think about death do you lose your breath or
do you keep your cool?
Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope
do you think he's a fool?
Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways
And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say
If they knew you believe in God above?
They should realize before they criticize
that God is the only way to love
Is your mind so small that you have to fall
In with the pack wherever they run
Will you still sneer when death is near
And say they may as well worship the sun?
I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ
I think it is sad the opinion
