If it is built on laws, how did that happen with a Creator?

If theres no god, then are physical and mathematical laws that govern the universe just byproducts of their coincidental existences?

I vaguely remember hearing that if they had not sinned, they would still be running around naked in Eden.

If this is the case, why do children have absolutely no shame in running around naked?

*My neighbors small child was running around the house naked....I only wish I could do the same without worrying whether the blinds were open or not!

Upon doing some reading (following an accidental viewing of a few moments of one of the "Left Behind" movies), I've learned that Christians fear the idea of a religion that unites the entire world. In fact, they associate this concept with the anti-christ and the end of time. Why?

If there were a "one true faith", wouldn't it most likely be unifying, something that all of mankind could come together under, instead of something that causes war and conflict?

Why is this idea so scary?

By the way -- I don't think there should be an established faith. I'm a big fan of freedom of religion. I just want to discuss why the idea of the whole world coming together, unified through a belief, should be so frightening. So don't get up in arms about freedom of religion, you're preaching to the choir!

If we aren't, why can't we just get up and walk away from the system of living we currently have?

nobody really can as you know what will happen to them, they will end up dead in a ditch.

What’s the thing that if we erased completely from our lives, the world would be a better place to live in?

What are they afraid of....what if their fears are about to come true...

What do you think all that oppressed power and truth could do to those hoding it back as the catholics and christians do...

Nature is about to get freedom ... pagans are about to get a new lease on life....

The 10 Commandments can be described in this way????
(1) they are a CURB (they curb us from wanting to sin)
(2) they are a RULER (they help us to measure our lives against God's standard)
(3) they are a MIRROR (they help us to see the path of sin, and how to avoid it).
What do you think? As we ponder these truths, does it help us to keep on the right path?

The stars are pleased for the will of the night,
Refrain from idle hands playing tunes of the blind
I string a sheet with beads of blood
I have tasted something new , so
As I have layn and bled in this damp bed
Too long
Id rather sleep on the floor
Wait perhaps I could find a way to
Sleep under the stars
For the stars have spoken to me through
Shut curtains, when I gasped for breath
For upon opening the window would there be fresh air …
I never dared to for fear of fear,
Why must I stay here when my true place is beneath the open sky
Where the air is plentiful
Why must I forsake my self and wait for the tide
To wash away this sand
I think ill find a way ……

Me and a few cousins were thinking over our family and how no matter how much they tried, they just didn't seem to prosper. Most people were spiritual and followed a straight and narrow path but it seems as though our entire family suffers. There are a few family secrets that we know of that may have hindered our family but I am not sure is generations can be curse because of what our ancestors did. That doesnt' seem fair.

but rape and orgies are fine as long as its heterosexual?

Genesis 19:4-8 is rendered as:

“ Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter; and they called to Lot and said to him, "Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them." But Lot went out to them at the doorway, and shut the door behind him, and said, "Please, my brothers, do not act wickedly. "Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof.

but many people do not believe in god? Why do you think this is? Why is such a universal truth to you so ridiculous to an atheist? Is this because you were brought up with religion or is it because you were simply looking for a way to avoid the reality of death?

I have seen a lot of Christians answer questions with this Bible
verse 2 John 1:7-11 I was wondering if some one could explain this verse to me because I think I am confused? I have seen some Christians use this verse to say that we should not hang out with (or greet) Non-Christians or Christians who do not believe in the Trinity. I do not understand how we could do this because there are so many people who are not Christian.? I really think I am misunderstanding this verse.. May be this verse means that we should not accept there beliefs & that we should just stick to our own? I dont understand how being friendly to some one could be wrong?
When I ask my self what would Jesus do the answer that come to me is to be kind, loving & respectfull to others.

I hope I did not offend any one with this question but I really would like some advise on this. Please answer respectfully, I really do not want to start a fight over this I just want to understand what people are talking about.

Call me sappy, I don't care. But I've sat here today and witnessed someone I have known for almost a year, and whom I care deeply about, fall apart before my eyes in this forum.

It hurts me to see this happen to anyone, but it's especially agonizing when this person is someone whom I am proud to call *friend.*

A year ago, when I was being trolled to death and ripped to shreds, he came to my defense, picked me up when I was down, and showed me nothing but the goodness within his heart.

Today, you call him a troll and have him deleted. While I don't agree with everything he says, I know just what a wonderful person he is, and I understand his hurt, anger, and frustration. I also understand why you take the stance that you do, and you are certainly within your rights to feel this way.

I ask you, just for today, will you try to see beyond the words, go past the anger, and reach out to those who seem to need it most?

You would be amazed at the difference a few kind words can make.
