I see that lots of you claim to know what is the truth,but I ask what is it?

A poem- I cannot remember who wrote it-asks what is the truth? Truth is what man decides it to be.

I looked at the book and it didnt say anything that was different than what other christians believe. But I think there is more to them than the book says. What do they believe that makes them different from other Christians? They said they are going to come back next week. And by the way, how did they get my name and address?? When they came to my door they asked for me by name!

There has been much blood shed around the world. There are no signs of abatement and the hostilities appear to be on the rise between the Christian right (specially amongst Americans). The US policy towards the Islamic world and equally the actions of some muslim factions have made a worse situation into mission critical. What can people around the world do to (or suggest to their leaders) to make this world a more liveable place? How can people of different faiths, political ideologies, cultures, etc. get along with each other? How can we understand each other better? What will make us sit on the same table with respect for others and recognistion of each others rights?

Please recommend concrete steps. I know there are a lot of immature people out on the web. There is no way to avoid their comments. So, please, disregard them. This is an appeal to the thinking person who really wants to acheive world peace and common grounds for understanding between various nations and faiths.

So this last question asked people to state their IQ:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20070815122734AAX5Exq

50% of the people who gave a numberical answer on the first page answered + 130. Several in the 165-170 range! Yikes!

This must mean the entire +130 IQ population visits R&S!

If you have an IQ of 165/170, why are you wasting away on R&S? Shouldn't you be curing HIV or cancer? How bout you get cracking on a Mid East peace agreement or a new Iraq policy?

Damn!

I have a question for those who know. I am under the understanding that Jehovah's Witness members believe that only 144,000 will make it into heaven. If that's the case, how can anyone want to be a part of that religion? If that is incorrect, someone please educate me. Thanks.

im not very religious but i do believe i guess a little...im slightly skeptical like my grandpa says " believe none of what you hear and half of what you see" but anyways with the saying that everything happens for a reason even if we dont understand it. why do ppl suffer especially children can you explain why children are abused and sexually abused --all the taboo things that happen in the world like hunger, aids, rape, incest, and everything. where is our god when he is needed the most. how do you make sense of all this. I dont understand how a child is put here to suffer and nothing else. anyone insight into this.?????

Even though I know without a doubt that GOD exsists, the one that created this earth we live on and everything in the Solar System and heaven.

Pascal Wager or not.. Every person here who believes in GOD wether it's the Christians, Jews and Muslims which I know all believe in the Same GOD even with the dispute about Jesus's divinity.

All are very happy, content, joyful, hopeful being people of faith

No one says I am a believer and I hate it.... That being said, if by chance thier is an afterlife we all have the chance to go, so wether you say it's Pascal Wagers can you admit we are really better off in the entire scheme of things?

Because if you really knew you could choose between laying in the dirt confined for eternity or living in Paradise of Heaven without a doubt none would choose a life of dirt

Can I get a witness on this?

Many religious folk claim that you need religion or at minimum a belief in a god to be moral. Most religions are only about 2000-5000 years old. However, the human species has been around for at least 200,000 years.

If religion is needed for morality as religious folk claim, how did the species survive and thrive? Wouldn't man have killed each other off long ago?

Since man is a social animal by nature, isn't morality developed based on the need and drive to be social?
