Koran, Torah, Harry Potter, Illiad, Odyssey, or any number of books since the advent of written language?
Come on people do you not have any better argument than a book proving itself? Logic loops do not work.

Very interesting discussions from www.catholicchurchnh.org. I am glad to see what REAL Catholics think about our right for marriage. What is your opinion? The post is long but it's worth it...

I live in the US and here when they work on a road it takes half a decade to finish then the road starts to fall apart within a few years. In the UK or Europe in general, how long does a road project last and does the road immediately start to fall apart after it is finished?

I find more comfort in the idea of complete oblivion rather than eternal life? What about you?

imagination to have faith? most people see everything in black and white now a days. what happened to having an imagination? maye I am just to old, and thats a sad thought, but a world with no imagination is very sad. I have two boys, one has no imagination, he sees everything in black and white and can not comprehend anything that isnt fact, the other goes over board and has to much. thank God they both have faith in God though. do you have an imagination?

Why is it so difficult for the majority of the human race to accept the fact that science has proven that we were all created from living organisms and have evolved into what we are today over so many years. Just like the Galapagos Islands. Evolution Proved. Though so many are still obsessed with and refuse to let go of the stories and fairytale of Gods and other fictional characters??

told to let our speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that we may know how to answer people's questions. While this verse may be for interacting with the unsaved, I think we should take note of it among ourselves as well.

Back in Jesus-times, miracles happened all the time. Raising the dead, healing the blind, parting seas, turning water to wine...

Why don't we have these today. And please dont' say something corny like giving birth is a miracle....

I've read a lot of questions saying is this a sin or is that a sin. Why do you care so much if it is a sin? Use your common sense, Don't live on religion rules they change their minds about those rules as if they were the ones that created them. If you're religious read your sacred book and follow those rules.
Try living your life discerning good from bad for yourself

This "news story" was posted on yahoo home page unbleavible.(http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070718/ap_on_re_us/prisons_racial_disparity) it stated that the reason was "reflect a failure of social and economic interventions to address crime effectively," as well as racial bias in the justice system" ya that or they commit more crimes which is probibaly closer to the truth stop comitting crimes stop going to jail. has little to do with bias, it's just a fact that more blacks and more hispanics commit more crimes than whites do. your thoughts?

Let's say i would get baptised by a Methodist pastor, does that mean i have to agree with the methodist church or is baptism rather a thing that Christians do in the old fashioned - John the baptist "style" to get cleansed off their sins without expressing any specific ideas?

I was reading a Civil War book and came across a very interesting quote from Lincoln.
" If I could save the Union without freeing any slave, i would do it; If I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; And if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that ."
Is this a historical quote overlooked by Historians or was I always made to believe that Lincoln 's biggest mission in the war was to make sure all slavery was abolished? Any thoughts?

If you have Microsoft Word, I strongly urge (if you haven't) you to try this: Type NYC and apply the Wingdings font to the word. Is it supposed to remind us that New York city has the largest concentration of Jews outside Israel?

i have an issue with Church buildings....i just started thinking about this a few days ago. it is hard for me to understand why we, as Christians, believe that God created everything on this earth. yet we choose to destroy part of His creation in order to put up a building to worship Him. and, why do we worship in a man made building? how is this building supposed to bring us closer to God when His very own creations in nature are right outside the door? isn't being outside in His beautiful creation the closest we can get to Him? i am a Christian and plan on continuing to be one, but doesn't my thinking have some logic?
