It's kind of hard to explain, but I'll make my best attempt.

I'm pretty sure that atheists don't believe in "God" at all, but some say that I am an agnostic. What is an agnostic?

The bible says something like "God" created everything and everyone on Earth, well I don't believe that one superior being created everything and everyone on Earth, I just don't think that it's at all possible. I'm the kind of person where I have to see it to believe it, and there has to be proof. I believe that we [humans & animals ] evolved from different species over millions of years. Some call this an evolutionist? There is some [ very little but some ] proof to back this theory up with man evolving from apes or something. I also kind of think that there are no "Gods" or "Goddesses." It's very hard for me to believe. I do not attend chruch.

Can someone just help me with what religion I am? Can someone tell me what an Agnostic is?

Thanks in advance! =]

Oprah mourns death of her dog Gracie
Yesterday at 1:20 pm

Oprah Winfrey is mourning the death of her 2-year-old golden retriever, Gracie.

"Weeks have passed," Winfrey says in the August issue of O, the Oprah Magazine. "And the pain has not subsided. Every time I think about it, my heart starts racing and I feel like I just got stabbed in the chest."

A fake Christ appears and fools people into thinking he is the real Christ. Is that how it works?
Because that doesn't sound like a religion to me. It sounds like the fast paced game show "Lets Make a Deal," hosted by the effervescent Monty Hall. This is a game where comically dressed contestants get to compete for cash and fabulous prizes by choosing from among three doors. Choose the wrong door and you get a booby prize like a cart and a donkey.

UpperBicutan , thanks for starting another days drinking with your wonderfully ignorant yet very funny answer :

"Listen to this and learn:

IF humans came from monkeys and monkeys evolved from being an ape or monkey to being a human...

WHY ARE THEIR STILL MONKEYS IN THE ZOO?!!

There should have been NONE of them anymore 'cause supposedly they evolved already!"

I really thought they'd given up on that one. It hasn't been used for a while now.

Anyway driiiiiiiink !

Daniel 12:1 “And during that time Mi´cha·el will stand up, the great prince who is standing in behalf of the sons of your people. And there will certainly occur a time of distress such as has not been made to occur since there came to be a nation until that time. And during that time your people will escape, every one who is found written down in the book. 2 And there will be many of those asleep in the ground of dust who will wake up, these to indefinitely lasting life and those to reproaches [and] to indefinitely lasting abhorrence"

10. Joseph Smith: “I send the wrappers off on missions, then seal myself to be one with the peanut butter cups for all eternity.”

9. Brigham Young: “The Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup is really a Snickers bar, and I eat those one bite at a time.”

8. Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, and David Whitmer: “Well, we actually just ate the Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups with our SPIRITUAL mouths…”

7. Wilford Woodruff: “I first write a manifesto claiming I will never again eat a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, then I secretly eat a few more under the table.”

6. Paul H. Dunn: “I remember back in WWII that I ate a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup that was 2 feet tall. I really didn’t know if I could eat it or not, what with my recent war injury and all, but I remembered my fallen buddy’s words as he died in my arms: ‘Paul, if you just take one bite at a time, you can tackle anything.’ So I took that giant cup and, breaking it with the bat Babe Ruth gave me, proceeded to wolf down the tiny morsels.”

Dear Christians:
I do understand your zeal. It makes sense to want to win souls for Jesus, if not for the sinners sake then for your own, but is this what God instructed us to do?

If you’ll remember God instructed us to:
Seek first the kingdom of heaven – a personal mission.
Love God - a personal mission.
Love all humans - a personal mission.

Remember 2000 years ago everyone and I mean everyone were Theist.
Most of them got no more results from prayer to their gods than if they had prayed to… a jug of milk.

So if you had a better phenomenology (explanation for things that happened) then you were a rock star. They didn’t have much entertainment back then so the people came asking real questions and were receptive to the concepts of Christ.

All that stuff about not casting pearls before swine was a message to YOU today because you think of non-Christians as lower than you, swine as it were.

When you die you are judged and sent to heaven, limbo or hell. This is according to the doctrines of all Christendom and it's sub-groups.

If you are judged 'good' enough to make it into heaven -what do you expect from it? What do you expect to happen for eternity?

What *IS* Heaven to you?

honestly, one of the reasons that pilgrims came to the thirteen colonies(now the us) was for religious freedom. when europe was ruled by the church people got killed left and right for stupid things that ultimately never really mattered. also look at the salem witch trials where a lot of innocent people got killed for stupid things. and Im pretty sure that if the founding fathers didnt wanna mix religion with the constitution it was for a reason, although for some reason we have the bible in the courtroom before witnesses speak. also we've already gone to war for things that dont deal with religion, if the govnt was run by the church wed probably be in so many religious wars that wed be in even more debt

Id give more details but youll just B!TC# that its too long. so please lets leave religion out of government.

Here are my suggestions, add your own.

10. Holy crap! It's worse than I thought.

9. Sorry, this will have to do. My hemorrhoids won't take another day in this wagon.

8. Just think, someday this valley will be home to two spacious malls.

7. It's nicer than Nauvoo. No swamps.

6. What is that? It smells like rotting brine shrimp and seagull droppings.

5. We really appreciate the welcome gift basket from the Eagle Forum.

4. That Brannan is such an idiot thinking that California is nicer than this place.

3. No, really, I thought we were just taking a potty break.

2. First things first. We need to start plowing. We can discuss gay/straight alliances and Intelligent Design later.

1. Of course they'll believe it. Anyone who believes in gold plates and angels with flaming swords will believe this is the right place.

If Christ is the judge, and He is God, I would expect his Judgment to entail some reason and not be just Pro Forma. That is what I think. Why would a busy God take time out of his day to have a show trial? Who would that impress?
