Is there proof that belief is a choice?

Can you, for the next 10 minutes, believe that the Quran is the perfect word of God?

How long would it take you to convince yourself of something you know isn't true?

Sorry guys, but I reading the Bible cover to cover, I did when I first did this was too young to comprehend, so I will now be asking many questions.

It may be my translation, but in Genesis, many times. "God saw it was good". Does this lead you to think God itself had lessons to learn?
Surely God would have created it because it was good, not just witnessed it as good?
So does God like it because it is good, or is it good because God likes it?

Question for Women only: How many lovers have you had after you got married and in how many years?


PS: This question is under religion and morality because married religious muslim women (because they get disciplined a lot with a leather belt by their husbands per the Quoran and the Muslim Shariah law) and baptist women (cheating is an art not a crime) cheat a lot more than anyone.

I consider Pagans / Heathens / Wiccans to be very much on the "same team" as atheists given that they seem hands off when it comes to other peoples' religions and they also struggle with the attitudes of many over zealous Christians. It seems, from R&S anyway, the major difference is the acceptance of deities.

Are there any creationist, anti-abortion, pro-abstinence only education, Bush-loving Pagans / Heathens / Wiccans? Or do you all lean liberal/libertarian?

My inlaws are so wrapped up in their baptist religion they cant see their own faults. They are always judging others.
Then they get pissed if you do not see things their way.
They think the world is only the way they see it and everyone should like the same music, cars and anything else they do.
Its driving me crazy. and I do not want my son brainwashed by these idiots.
HELP

You can not create or destroy energy. That totally disproves the "Big Bang" Theory. You can not make SOMETHING out of NOTHING.

And along the same lines, when we die.....our energy is not destroyed.

How can your hearts be so hardened that you cant even think that God is responsible for us?

I think its fairly common for straight women to sometimes fantasize about being with a woman. Or some women fantasize about a three some with another woman but would never be in for it in real life.

If you are straight and do this are you passive in your fantasy or are you the aggressive one?

Do straight men ever fantasize about other men? Or a three some with another man and woman? Or is that just too horrifying for them?

I know most straight men are outraged if you tell them you think they are gay. Does this kind of fear restrict their fantasies too?

i know i'm gonna get hammered for this, but

if you can just put belief in god to one side for a moment. (hypthetically)

is it more likely that we were made by god, or that god was made by man.

no scripture, i don't do scripture.

I recently got engaged. My fiancee and me have been together almost 2 years. We are very happy the only problem is we work in the same building. We know we can't keep our secret at bay much longer. My engagement came as a surprise since almost none of my co-workers knew I was even seeing anyone. At first we kept it quiet because we didn't know where it was going then by the time it became very serious we wanted to protect our relationship from gossip. We do not work for the same company nor do we have the same supervisors but our companies have strong ties (we both work in the higher educational field). His immediate supervisor knows about our relationship but the President of my company does not. Since our companies are closely affiliated we have been anxious about it. We are in love and want to share our happy news openly but are afraid of consequences. We both want to maintain professionalism and decorum. Everyone wants to meet him. The funny thing is they have. Any advice?

2 Thessalonians 2:11
''And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should belive in a lie.''

Ezekiel 14:9
''And if the prophet be deceived when he hath spoken a thing, I the LORD have deceived that prophet.''

Clearly, there's a long history of lies here.
