He used to require animal sacrifice and complete submission. He drowned everyone except one family in a flood. He sent plagues. Then all at once he decided he loved the world and sent his own son to be a human sacrifice.

What caused the change in God?

. . . or should we be warning people while going into all the world and preaching the good news that God has made a way they can be forgiven for their sin?

Hi all, I am best friends with an argentinean man, and I would love to speak english, because my friend can speak english and spanish. Is there by any chance a free way of learning the language over the internet? If not, what are some of the fastest ways of learning the language. Also, I know a little spanish but I would like to go more into it. Thanks, any help is appreciated.

what if you go about life and not bothered by this?

I have my own beliefs and I keep them to myself. However, I often wonder WHY so many folks feel the need to go to such extremes one way or the other.

Examples:

1. You are uber-religious and you believe strongly in something - WHY do you feel the need to go with gusto and attempt to force others to conform to your beliefs? If you're Christian and you think that ____ is a sin. Won't God judge that sinner in the end? Who are you to judge them in this life and why/how do you feel yourself qualified to deliver judgment?

2. If you are an Atheist - WHY do you feel it necessary to belittle the belief of others? You have your beliefs. You are secure in them. Why antagonize?

What is Catholicism? How does it differ from Christianity, and how did saints come to be recognized and prayed to? Why is that considered the right thing to do in the Catholic religion?

Say you were anti-traditional marriage, and you spent considerable effort trying to educate people on the evils and pointlessness of monogamy, how it only restricts and removes any sort of sexual freedom. Then you meet a happily married couple of 20 years, who seem so in love and at peace with each other and the world that your only option, based on the foundation you've already laid, is to mock them and try your best to break up their relationship to save face. But instead of them returning the insults or questioning their own relationship, they show you many more couples just like themselves, almost like a world unknown and unimagined by you until that time.

For many Christians, their relationship with Jesus is the same, consisting of such love and peace that life without Him is incomprehensible. I know Christians can be annoying, like a happy couple, but why try to break down love when it is such an incredible thing to so many?

You kind of have to believe in religion to answer this but oh well.
If you were hit in the head or w/e and you went into a coma and every part of your body could not function. No brain activity. Especially your internal clock and the part of your mind that is aware of time passing and things around you.
Do you think that your next thought would be you in heaven?
I think that because you were not aware of the time passing that you would not recognize the time passed and your thoughts would go from, "Oh im about to get hit in the head" to, "I'm in heaven!"

Jesus said test them by their fruits? If that religon fosters hate and blood shed. would that correspond with what God said before the flood. "the end of all flesh has come before me because the earth is full of violence because of them"
Or when he destroyed Sodom and Gamorrah because of their loose morals and immoral sex worship? There again that would not be pleaseing to God.
So my question is if he destroyed them for those things before would he now somehow approve of such things?
Would a religon that says it is okay to lie, steal or to extort money on false pretenses be a true religion?
Say they say send me money and God will make you rich?
would that be true? I mean how do they know that? Did God somehow tell them that? So would a religion be the true religion if the people who were in that religion sinned against God?

Seriously - I just got an annoying Violation notice in my Yahoo mail for an answer I gave to a question yesterday. There was nothing incendiary, racist, or vulgar in my answer. I know that we live in America, and are therefore no longer entitled to our own opinions, but I don't like getting Violation notices. Please save your reports of abuse on Y!A for serious violations, and try not to be so uptight.

Churches, Mosques, Synagogues, Tabernacles, etc. often preach that MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL. Yet these very religions try so hard to take YOUR hard-earned money to live luxurious lifestyles, promote their own political agendas, and build more worship centers to perpetuate their lies and indoctrinations to ultimately become WEALTHIER at the expense of gullible people. I think that ALL "religion" is pure HOKUM!!!

Atheists cannot debate to the end of a conversation, because they simply do not see the visible point of life.

Some people believe only the evidence of their senses, what they can see or hear. They look at a table and see a solid object. However, when we look closely we see it is not solid but mostly empty space. Physicists say a truly solid substance, a magnetar or black hole, is so dense that a teaspoonful would weigh a billion tons on earth. If a teaspoonful of table substance weighs one ounce, the table is one part solid for every ten trillion parts empty space. At close range, every “solid” substance on earth more closely resembles outer space than a solid object.

My family has the good cooks. Mamma and my Aunts get together, they cook the best food ever. Pasta, meats, breads,sauces, deserts...way better than any restaurant you could find. They'll stuff you like a pig,Joey!
I am 26, and I never went out with a girl that can cook like this( some of their mothers were also great cooks, though) I went to one girls house for a homecooked meal, and her idea of homecooked is one of those frozen banquet 2 pound meal boxes.
My younger cousins, and nieces almost show no interest in it.
I met this one girl online, she said she like Italian food...but her idea was going to olive Garden.
Are we losing the old style of cooking? I mean, I can cook...lots of us guys can cook...but nothing tastes better than a woman who loves you cooking . This goes for all women...they have a magic.
Before you ladies jump on me- I'm not chauvanist, I don't think you only belong in kitchen barefoot.
