America rates 37 in world standards for health care even when you have to pay for it. No other nation on the planet pays for health care. Americas rich are worse off under the current healthcare system than homeless under UK system. America has a higher child death rate than Botswana. What sort of super power is that?

Why do Americans put up with it?

Superpower or super stupid???

I have seen the lake of fire, it exists in the form of a pressureless Volcano, and appears in the first episode of Living Planet.

There were no souls there, does it upset the idea of there being no eternal punishment?

have you ever looked into the delicacy of a flower, seen the sun rise or set, looked at the many rings around saturn, seen the many stars, looked into the eyes of a fish, a whale, dolphin shark, or seen any other majestic thing... how can you believe that a huge bang happened and suddenly this whole world appeared?

What is going on with the youth of America? I posted a link I need you guys to check it out and tell me what you think. I remember when I was coming up we had the dances like the tootsie roll and I cant think of the other one that was similar but damn look at this, and then listen to the audio we need help.

I feel that I’m still young enough to understand some of this new age rap but this; someone needs to go to The Sylvan Learning Center and get some help. I mean when the chicken noodle soup song came out all I could do is shake my head in discussed and now with this I just might stop listening all together.

So I’m asking this what can we do if anything to change this crap that we call rap and dancing now days?

and all the religious followers do obey every word of their faith. For thousands of years there have been stories of God interacting with people telling them to build a boat with two of every animal or march a thousand or so to the land of milk and honey, the one about the virgin, the carpenter. Thousands of years of stories about God. Then he goes quiet. Three small kiddies from religious fanatical familes get a few visits from Mary then it's back to nothing. Years pass and there are still no chat or visits from God. Finally, when a man that announces in public that he is the second coming e.g David Ike or David Koresh you all turn against them and rebuff their claims. Crackers as they may of been. Why dismiss them straight away with no thought about it. Surely, your God, would not want you to question him and accept what you have been told. Like everybody else in the bible. What do you need in the 21st centuary as proof? apart from the bellowing voice of God telling you to.

Paul, formerly known as Saul of Tarsus (thank you Father K):

"Saul" of Tarsus, before he became St. Paul, persecuted the church by hunting them down and killing them.

Saul of Tarsus hated Christians. He made it his goal to capture, then bring Christians to public trial and execution. Saul was present when the first Christian martyr (named Stephen) was killed by an angry mob.

"... they all rushed at him (Stephen), dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. . . . And Saul was there, giving approval to his death" (Acts 7.57 to 8:1).

After Stephen was martyred, Saul went door to door in Jerusalem finding people who believed that Jesus is the Messiah.

"Saul began to destroy the church. Going from house to house, he dragged off men and women and put them in prison" (Acts 8:3).

religoun is mainly a set of rules to be followed, people today look down on the police and have no fear of the law, but fear of death and burning in hell is much greater then a few months in jail and a fine.

do you think that religoun could be another attempt to keep the human race from destroying itself?

I just used "search" feature, and I found some interesting questions that asked 1 year ago. And I found some R&S regulars answering that question. It's really funny, I feel like I enter an ancient site, and find fossils in there lol. I check some user profile, most of them have been deleted.

just curious

How long you've been in R&S?
what's learning point that you get by staying in R&S?

thanks

...when they themselves dismiss much more of the Old Testament than the scientific theories contradict?

They ignore all Mosaic law, despite the fact that it clearly says throughout that God commanded it. That's a far greater portion of the OT than the creation story in genesis.

If that much of the OT can be called obsolete, can't we just throw in the creation myth too and say that it was a moral lesson meant for another time and people?

There is a lot of hate in the world. It is said that God loves us unconditionally. It seems to me a being so great that loves uncondtionally would not allow us to encounter such hateful or disasterous situations. My only question is why???

"The Lord referred also to the Vedic literature known as Harivamsa, which gives information about the transcendental abode of Krsna. "(deemed as Best Answer)
_______________________________________________

By all the Acharyas (Great Teachers) of Hindu Religion including the Vaishnava Acharyas sri.Ramanuja and sri.Madwa -only four Religious Texts are accepted as Vedam --Rk--Yajus--Saaman--Atharvanam--saying "Vedic litreature known as "Hari Vamsa" is a mis-information/dis-information-absolute Fraud.There are 1000s of "below average" litreatures like Harivamsa in Hindu Religion --they are NOT authentic.Even a number of well-informed Western Indologists(who have spent their Life-time doing researchon on VEDHAM(S) will reject this as Dis-Information .
