How many of you think that a lot of religions were made to keep women lower than men.

According to Genesis 2:17, "But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die.” God said that if Adam and Eve ate from the tree of knowledge or good and bad, they would die. it doesn't mean in a day literally. What it saying I will explain. Remember that a day in Jehovah's eyes is as a thousand years. An we know that no human ever lived up to a full thousand years and past. If they did, they would be living into the next day and not as pronounced by God in Genesis 2:17. The longest man who ever lived was Methuselah and he lived for 963 yrs. He never lived up to a full 1000 yrs. It's found in the Genesis 5:27, "So all the days of Methuselah amounted to nine hundred and sixty-nine years and he died." Even Adam who is the first human only lived for 130 yrs(Genesis 5:4)

One more note. Lamech was the first human to have 2 wives.(Genesis 4:19, "And Lamech proceeded to take two wives for himself.

It's from "Bull Durham", but I am pretty sure Annie (Susan Sarandon) was quoting one of her poets, but I'm not sure.

Anyways...

The world is not made for people cursed with self-awareness.

Just wondered: what do you think of it? It struck me, caught me a little off guard.

Check out my last question.
If believers claim that god is benevolent, why are all acts of god so malevolent?

I see the term "false religion" slung around quite a bit on R&S, but have never seen a description as to what religion would be false, and what would not.

If even one person believes that a religion is truth, would that make it a valid belief?

When I was young my mother had this saying, "You don't have to do anything but pay taxes and die." The inevitability of these two things was a given in my family.

I don't believe this anymore. With my income as it is, I no longer have to pay taxes. Because I eat His body and drink His blood, I no longer have to die. I will live forever. God, in His grace, has lifted me from my childhood destiny.

Do you believe in death and taxes?

Yours in Christ Jesus, Grace

People of other religions are not telling them to worship Buddha, Mohammed or Krishna in order to achieve salvation. and the Bible tells us that Jesus was sent by God, not that he WAS God.
why would someone be sent to Hell even though they worshipped God, albeit through Krishna rather than Jesus; or directly, without a human intermediary?

Don't you realize that when you impede scientists from doing research, you are delaying progress? Those who came before me could have been more supportive of the great scientists of their age, and had they done so, the world today would surely be far more advanced, both technologically and socially. And it makes me sad to see those religious stumbling blocks still in place. Every day that science is banned from doing stem cell research is another day that people have to wait for relief from their ailments.

If you want to continue living in the Dark Ages, that's fine. By all means do it. But please, I beg you, don't force me to live there with you!

Evolution is a "theory" that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations. Theories are "unproved assumptions." Why would you want to believe in something that is only an assumption?

If you lived in France and you had always heard that Copernicus discovered and conquered the Americas all by himself, lived to be 911 years old and singlehandedly built ever great city in America and gave them all of the laws and knowledge that made the United States great, and the people who told you this proved it by giving you a book that said it was the truth and that's the way it happened, does that make it true?

Is that REALLY how America was discovered, settled, and made into the great country that it is? Would you be surprised if someone thought that was a bunch of crap and decided to do some research and discovered that the Americans told a completely different story?

Would you say the person that did the research was wrong for believing what he found to be true, instead of sticking with the story the French book had put out there, even though the French book went against everything ever written by anyone else on the subject? Is the researcher wrong?

Scientists have begun blurring the line between human and animal by producing chimeras—a hybrid creature that's part human, part animal.

Chinese scientists at the Shanghai Second Medical University in 2003 successfully fused human cells with rabbit eggs. The embryos were reportedly the first human-animal chimeras successfully created. They were allowed to develop for several days in a laboratory dish before the scientists destroyed the embryos to harvest their stem cells.

In Minnesota last year researchers at the Mayo Clinic created pigs with human blood flowing through their bodies.

And at Stanford University in California an experiment might be done later this year to create mice with human brains.

Scientists feel that, the more human like the animal, the better research model it makes for testing drugs or possibly growing "spare parts," such as livers, to transplant into humans.

What would your religon be...The basic belifs etc etc

It's not what you think is most likley, but what you think would work for makind the best

Id like to think god is an energy and we all sort of seprated from energy...and then the first ppl to seprate were like the angels and they look after us. And we're the humans and animals and trees that came next. And the energy is our life source, and our soul. And when we die we just go with our energy to someone else and the process of reincarnation keeps repeating itself till you're ready to go and join with the energy again...or something like that

All you need is to be a good person

nice and simple, if that makes sence

what do you guys think?
