I was wondering what the religious people think of the news this last week, the massive earthquake killed 200 people in a church, but knocked down a prison wall and released 250 desperate criminals? Why do you think a perfect God would do such a horrible unjust thing?

I starred the word because many people treat it as a cuss-word. Maybe because it produces guilt ?

I see so many misconception of flat out ignorance of lore and faith. Sometimes I laugh, but some times I feel really sorry for some of them. Why would they want to exist in that little box?

Or even restricted to disallowing those actions that could cause POSSIBLE harm to another human being? Notice that I am not talking about harming one's self (e.g. illegal drugs, not wearing a seatbelt, etc.), but harming others or causing harm to others indirectly through our actions (e.g. promiscuous sex, driving drunk, etc.).

I am asking this in the context of no religious intervention. This is not about what God says is proper behavior but what humans deem proper behavior. As it was stated to me: "Right and wrong are another matter. Those of us who don't believe in God and sin, usually view right and wrong in terms of benefit and harm to our fellow human beings. This can be figured out by ourselves, without some cosmic figure telling us what it is."

Tonight on tv there was a report about a bible based theme park.
I think this is wrong. We recived the word for free we should give for free.Some may say it helps spread the word of god but I don't think we need gimmicks like this.Jesus got angry at the money changers at the temple.
Commercialism of the bible what do you think ?
I would be interested in all views christian or not.

I teach at a jewish preschool and I've been teaching the kids the aleph bet song... what song did you learn in gan?

I've heard of 2 before: "....אלף אבא, בת בחר, גמל, דלת, גן סגר" and "... אלף בת, אלף בת, גמל דלת הי, גמל דלת הי" (Thats where the kids repeat after you).

Also, can you teach me any other popular kids songs in Israel. Counting songs, shapes or just fun songs you would learn in gan?

I can read and understand hebrew, so you can write in hebrew or include links.

Thanks!!!!

A lot of the questions on here deal with evolution. Do you think is should have it's own category, maybe in science, or (and I think this would be fun) in R&S?

And most likely would die without being able to repent and ask to be saved, can others pray for him to be saved and then shall he go to heaven?

I'm talking about God, evolution, and the meaning of life. What do they know about any of these things? Specifically: What is the meaning of life? Is there a God? And do you know if we evolved from apes?

I want to know too, because I hate (some of) them acting superior to me just cause I'm a Christian.

...that all religions have their foundation in the fear of death and retribution in the afterlife (if any)?

Evolution has too many facts that can't be denied but why do so many deny them? My grandma actually came to my mother's school and took her out of biology class because they were teaching them evolution. This causes ignorance and you lose your logical thinking part in your brain. There is evidence in micro and macro evolution. I found out my freshman year of high school, it took a 14 year old to out smart millions of creationists and other people.

I just have to share my testimony becuse I beleive that through faith nothing is impossible and God truly is amazing. My ex and I broke up almost a year ago and we have been hanging out and it didnt really work cos I wanted him back and tried everything to get him back to no avail. We started having really bad arguments and the last one was so bad that we were shouting at each other. He started dating this girl and he told me about it and it really crushed me cos i still loved him. So I prayed and everytime I paryed he was still in my heart. So i decided to pray and believe god that we would get back together. It was hard knowing he was with this other girl but i poured put my hearty to god and so many times i felt like giving up but am glad god gave me the grace not to. Becuse I have my man back and god truly is wonderful. I just had to share my testimony and tell people to keep praying and beleiev even ehen you cannot see a change cos GOD IS AMAZING!

I am an agnostic that wants a higher power (god) to exist but have some serious doubts. I've read the bible and I truly must say that I can not honestly believe in a book that was written by primitive people 2000 years ago, especially in the middle east.

I am not one of those people who has to see or experience something to believe in it, but it must be at least somewhat logical. I've examined both sides of the argument and apparently it just seems one sided to me. The best argument most religions can put up all point to old scrolls, testaments, bibles, etc.

I've asked god to come into my life several times. I keep an open mind as best I can and seek him. I've read the bible and other literature, but when I do this, it only makes me more critical. I know a big part of the Christian religion focuses on Jesus and other prophets, but I'm focusing more on god. What I am really asking for is a different way of looking at this so maybe I can understand

I really REALLY cant stress enough that i am not being racist when i say this, but am just wondering, do black people get hotter than white people because of the colour of their skin. Again, this is not a racist question...

I believe that it's simply part of evolution that we in the west get fat while those in Africa, Sudan et al. die of starvation. Evolution weeds out the weak while we grow stronger. Just wondering what you all think.

My friend, Anduria claims her little brother, Pat is a demon child. If he was wouldn't people know? I mean I believe in that stuff, but it doesn't make sense. He would have to go through the Gods first, right? It just doesn't make sense.
