There is so much to be desired in the days of our parents and grandparents, when the young respected and reverred the elders in the society;
just wondering, would bringing back respect improve the moral decadence in society? or perhaps reduce or curb crime? what are your thoughts?

Are these people not just making a show of their worship like the Pharisee and Saducee hypocrites did?

I think thats one thing thats wrong with alot of adults these days, they think just because they are a certain age they shouldnt do this or that. They think that since they are so called "mature" the only thing they should do is gossip, talk, work etc. Thats why most adults are so stressed out because they don't know how to have fun anymore

I've asked this before and got lots of of excellent definitions of the term "theory" but none of the term "scientific theory"............. not from a creationist at least.

One of the funniest so far was :

"Scientific theory means someone went to a whole lot of school so they could attach a cool prefix to theory.

A theory is a theory. You can attach whatever prefix to it you wish its still an UNPROVED guess as to what happened. "

I posed the question about why atheist use science as a crutch when the very basis of their belief is contradictory? In one way or another I said, how can you believe in science if nothing in science evolves from nothing. How can you use science as a crutch if the very core of your belief is illogical...NOTHING in this entire universe evolves from nothing...so to use things such as evolution and any other means of proving why God doesn't exist is senseless. How can you believe in nothing, if nothing evolves from nothing?

Now I posed the same for infinite values, and as far as the leading scientists in this world, no infinite values exist either. Ok JP, there are black hole theories that constitute such probabilities, but they are not fact just theory.

SO Please atheists, instead of avoiding the question by attacking me with your typical defense mechanisms answer the question, NOTHING MORE. Something tells me you cant and you'll revert back to your typical petty responses.

Heaven is so real, and I know it. All I want to do is be with your God. The God that you believe is so real.

If you don't believe in heaven, then why do you believe in God?

If I want to end my life right now, and go to heaven that is my choice. I hate this planet, I hate going to work everyday, I really hate going to work everyday. I hate it.

I don't like this body I am in. Who the crap gave us this type of body. Hands, Chest, Stomach, Legs. Who did all of this, it is a total mistake.

I had enough of this world, and I am going to heaven as soon as I am not busy. I had it up to here.

I posted a fast-speed video of a 4 year-old preaching here recently and a few Christians called me a "liar" and said that since they 'couldn't hear' what she was saying it meant nothing. The point, of course, was all in the gesturing, in the 'Heil Hitler' salute and its return from the audience; in the abuse of the child (such furiousness evangelism at such a young age!). I find it very strange that some people cannot see things for what they are unless it is explained to them extremely slowly.

So here goes: PLEASE WATCH THESE TWO VIDEOS before you comment. They are older videos that tell partly what children FORCED (yes forced) to be soldiers for God go trough:

Christians alike have mental health experiences when unwell; As a christian, what sense can we make of symptoms of severe mental illness? Why and how can a christian's mind be so affected? is there any clear links with occultic interference? Your candid contribution is welcome and may be helpful in this intellectually stimulating debate.

Lets say that there were two troublemaking sixteen year olds, stabbing people, robbing people etc, and one of them was stabbed to death... but the other one progressed and at the age of 26, turned his life around, became a christian and devoted his life... and so goes to heaven right? BUT, since the other one died at 16, as a trouble making adolescent youth, he went to hell... and had he of not been killed, he would of done EXACTLY the same as the other boy and turned into a devoted christian at 26, and so would of gone to heaven... so the person who stabbed him was the reason why this person did not get the full fair chance to accept jesus, so this murderer would be responsible for the other person going to hell in a way... Do you agree? I mean it's very narrowminded to believe that god will apply the same criteria to judging every single person... there are so many factors... diying young (less of a chance), being brought up into different cultures... If god is fair..... understand?

Exodus 20:4
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
Mary is all over the Catholic churches. These are idols.
As holy as Mary was she was a sinner like everyone else born.
Catholics pray to Mary. Catholics pray to saints. They tell Mary or saints to talk to god for them. I consider that worshipping false idols:
Jesus the Massiah is the one who died for us so we should worship and pray to him 100% . Why have all of that other stuff interfere with our walk with God ?
I believe it is all a distraction that the Devil sends.

Why do Catholics have to follow priests and confess sins to a priest? The priest is not God, he is human just like us. The only way you can be forgiven of sin is to confess your sins to GOD and ask for HIS forgiveness, not the church's:
The Bible says, call no man teacher, the Holy Spirit should guide you into all your ways

If you chose to rebel against the gods, which god would you choose? What would be your criteria? Should one just rebel against all of them at once, or institute some kind of rotating schedule?

How would you go about your rebellion?

I think I would probably choose God, with his "I love you, but GO TO HELL" thing, but sometimes Ra just gets on my nerves. You?

an example of the ignorance we face:
"who ever believe that humans were monkeys are the most intellectually messed up people EVER.
think of how messed this sounds * people use to be monkeys* yea sure.. and my dog use to be a cat but it evolved. it dosent make any sence what so ever. how come the moneys now dont change? if evolution was real wouldnt the monkeys in the zoo be humans too? think"
to the person who wrote this...
what is evolution? what is metamorphosis? please, i beg of you... before you spawn equally ignorant children, please educate yourself... even if you don't want to believe it, at least know what it is you aren't believing.
