For starters:
1. Limited by time. Having to take six days to create stuff instead of having it happen instantaneously, in the blink of an eye.
2. Limited by power. Having to rest on the seventh day, as if power has been depleted and there is exhaustion (as if nothing else could be created until returning to full power.)
3. Being limited by sex. If He is a 'he,' then He cannot do what 'she' does. That is not all-powerful.

one of my family members died in a car wreck about two days ago. my family is pretty tore up by the ordeal. her parents were devastated but managed to cope in the idea that god had her in heaven. so my question is, how do atheists cope with death in their family? " at least she is rotting in the ground". i know some atheist believe in spirituality some do not. how would you the atheist cope?

Are Muslim women who wear Hijab really oppressed. Wearing it because they chose to wear it, because Allah told them to wear it. Allowing themselves to be evaluated because of their inteligence, skills and personality.

Or are they women who cannot walk down the street without every aspect of her physical self being ``checked out''?
Overweight adolescents hanging themselves and 13-year-old girls sticking their fingers down their throats.

What kind of freedom is this? Women are being used to sell products! Why do we allow ourselves to be manipulated like this? She is being coerced into selling herself, into compromising herself.

Wearing the hijab has given me freedom from constant attention to my physical self.

The Qur'an teaches us that men and women are equal, that individuals should not be judged according to gender, beauty, wealth, or privilege. The only thing that makes one person better than another is her or his character

Hi, I'm 17, I was born and brought up in England, but my parents and the rest of my family are from Spain. I'm what you would call typical Spanish/Mediterranean looking. My skin is naturally tanned/olive coloured, my eyes are dark brown, and my hair is very dark brown. I wanted other peoples opinions on this... do you think having a darker colouring makes you less attrative in this country? I know I shouldn't take this too personally as teenage boys are very immature, but when I was at school, the boys there said I was ugly because I was dark... Do you think in society your more beautiful if you're say, fair skinned and blonde haired?

Thanks in advance to all that answer.

And which one had the bible first? If the Catholics came first, put the bible together, and therefore had the bible first, wouldn't it stand to reason that THEY have the correct understanding of it? If I remember right, even though there are a lot of you differing christian sects running around with bibles today, you all didn't branch off from Catholicism until well over a thousand years AFTER the bible was put together and hashed out by Catholics. So, christians, how can you dare say that the Catholics don't know what their talking about? If you don't believe in their teachings, why the heck to you read and quote from their bible?

p.s. If you aren't an original follower and can't trace your christian beliefs back to Jesus WITHOUT going through Catholicism, don't talk to me about original christians. I'm well aware of them, and that is NOT what you follow.

Isaiah when god said HE created peace, he CREATED EVIL? By stating god did not create evil? Are you saying god lied and YOU know what god does better than him?

For example, I am Roman Cathloic. But I don't feel if I should be limited to just the Roman Cathloic Church. For example, if I would go to a Baptist Church, am I a bad person? According to the Roman Cathloic's, yes. But aren't we all worshiping the same God anyway? It's a matter of interpretation.

Anyone else feel the same way? Or at least consider themselves a non-demominatial Christian?

Catholics: Are you tired of being confronted about confessing your sins to a priest? Do you find yourself unable to locate & quote the scriptures that support confession? Do you want to be able to effectively defend your Church's teaching in a charitable & loving way? To learn the basics about defending confession, go to this link: http://www.catholic.com/library/Forgiveness_of_Sins.asp

After reading that introduction, dig deeper by reading these books:
"Catholicism and Fundamentalism" by Karl Keating
"Where's That in the Bible" by Patrick Madrid

Also, you can listen to archived broadcasts of Catholic Answers Live at:

Catholics: If these resources help you, I'd love to hear about it.
"Pax Vobis".

I have wood and nails!

How many sins is my brother worth?
I have a half-brother and half-sister too... I'm sure all of them together would account for my life of gratuitous sin. ^_^
And do I need to make a hill facing the sun to crucify them on?

This morning on the way to work, I passed by a black couple in a car. Both seats were reclined back as far as they could go. The driver could barely see over the steering wheel from his reclined position. However, was operating the car in this fashion. It did not look very safe.

This seems to be common in the black community. So, why do so many black people recline in their cars like this?

Secondly, I do not understand the whole wearing big baggy pants that are falling off of your backside.

The perception among racist whites is that black people do not work very hard, and that most are on welfare.

Don't these things perpetuate this stereotype? To recline in the car in such an unsafe manner, looks lazy, like they can't sit up straight. And to wear baggy pants, again, looks like one is too lazy to pull the pants up?

Your thoughts?

I do not consider myself to be racist...but, by thinking these things, am I?
