Such as: "are there passages in the bible that refer to Earth being flat"
And an answer is recieved: "Ha ha it is to laugh.....
I know you are not dumb, this is a loaded question."


What is the correct way in interpreting this answer?

He himself said they would (John 14:12)?

Why aren't they raising the dead, turning water into wine, feeding multitudes from a very small amount of food, walking on water?

Yes, sarcasm is added in the above inquiry...

20For ever since the creation of the world His invisible nature and attributes, that is, His eternal power and divinity, have been made intelligible and clearly discernible in and through the things that have been made (His handiworks). So [men] are without excuse [altogether without any defense or justification],

21Because when they knew and recognized Him as God, they did not honor and glorify Him as God or give Him thanks. But instead they became futile and godless in their thinking [with vain imaginings, foolish reasoning, and stupid speculations] and their senseless minds were darkened.

22Claiming to be wise, they became fools [professing to be smart, they made simpletons of themselves]. Romans 1:20-22

Does this mean we are without excuse?

Since a certain % of the population is gay, isn't there a good chance that one of the Apostles was gay?

Many people, even churchgoers, don't have a clue in terms of the cross of Jesus. Mel Gibson's movie focused too much on the physical sufferings of Jesus but disregarded the Lord's TRUE MEANING for allowing His own death. He paid a price that could not be paid by any other means. Jesus came down from heaven in the form of a man to die on the cross as PROPHESIED in the Old Testament.

Your view?

For example, Al Shaitan and Cheese and Rice.... they always give the best answers each other, and other than them, anti Mormons only interact within themselves, no1 else outside of thir circle. Some of them worship themselves and others... I don't know, but would you consider this a cult? hehehe

We (mormons) are accused by these people of being a cult and thare is a quote in spanish that says this: "El ladron juzga por si condicion" which means "The thief judges by its condition" that means that some people accuse others of doing something that they (the accuser) does... I hope you get it, i don't know very well how to explain it.

"bless you" is really for sneezing...
most people are quite or don't know what to say when somebody coughs... a "are you alright ?" really doesn't count because it's a question.

Any ideas?????

What type of impression do you receive of someone who turns his music and bass up as he sits next to you at a red light? The music isn't intolerably loud, but the thumping bass and words to the song are readily noticeable. How do you feel?

If the bible said that God was a homosexual would you still believe it?

Also if Christians believe the bible to be true why is it that if there is something in the bible they agree with they think it is to be taken litterally and if there is something they don't agree with they say it is to be take metaphorically?

So which is it should the bible be taken litterally or metaphorically?

The girl at the checkout started making comments on what i was buying. first it was the crest whitening strips and she says "this destroys your enamel, i would never buy it" i replied with a smile saying "it will grow back" and she says "no it doesn't" with a frown. Anyway then came the organic butter. she says" i can't believe you are paying $9 for butter, you have too much money".
isn't her job to take the money and pack the things and give the change back, since when does the staff of a supermarket has the authority to make comments on what the customers are buying.
i ignored this incident thinking its Canadian culture. i come from England and if this happened in my hometown, the chances are she would have been in a lot of trouble. My question is that is this a one off incident or is this common in Canada?

I just saw a question where a whole bunch of people said that neither they nor anybody else was qualified to define Truth. So let this poor atheist take a stab at it:

"Truth is what is real irregardless of who or how many people believe in it."

What do you think? Any better definitions?
