Do you remember the beginning of the summer, when we all agreed it would be a long one? Now that school is about to be back in session.. do you think the others who took a break will return and we'll get back to our regularly scheduled programming?

So when it comes to worship would you rather sing/dance to contemporary christian or gospel? Why?
Is one genre better than the other? I'd like for all races to chip in. Thanks!

who cares?

I'd like to know - seriously. why bother answering if all you can contribute is "who cares"? Someone cares... or the question wouldn't be asked. It's actually a great insult to the asker to answer that way don' t you think?

You know, Pluto, the moon, Milky Way Galaxy. One theory I have, even though I am an atheist, is that if God were real he made them so man could expand across, well, everywhere in the Galaxy. But doesn't this complicate the whole rapture business? I don't think Jesus would wait for the ones on Uranus to get back to Israel.

There's no epiphany. There's no way to be 100% sure. Either you choose to believe, or you don't. Is that correct?

"Otztal Valley, Italy--The mainstream media reported widely on 'Otzi,' the 5,477-year-old Stone Age man found mummified in a melting glacier high in the Italian Tyrolean Alps. The U.S. media did not, however, share a gripping detail that was reported in Italy, Austria, Switzerland, and elsewhere: there was sperm in Otzi's anal canal. 'The Tyrolean scholars have not given this little detail any special significance,' according to Lambda Nachrichten, the magazine of Homosexual Initiative Vienna, Austria's leading gay organization, 'but there can only be one explanation: Otzi had sex with another man in the Alps!

whats your view?

I personally feel Jesus was a fictional character. I've heard people claim that there is historical evidence other than the bible that Jesus existed but I want to know what evidence existed that he was the son of god. If he did exist what proof is there that he wasn't just a looney hippy claiming to be the son of god?

I am just curious. It seems to me that religion and theism and the (ir)rationality behind is kind of all coming to a head in these last few years. Dawkins and Sagan have lots to do with this. I am just curious will we get to a point where believers are few and Yaweh is chalked up there with Zeus? I am guessing about 2075 but i have no real reason for that guess

The two most re-re-reoccurring answers to this question are "faith" and "experience."

If your answer is "faith" can you define the term?

If your answer is "experience" can you explain specifics?
(ex. what you saw, heard, or felt)

According to Roman Catholic Dogma, Jesus was born of a virgin, and he was both human and a god; the human part being solely created by the body of Mary without any divine participation whatever, whereas the divine component of Jesus is solely an outgrowth of God.

Apparently Jesus was a male, and for a human male foetus to form it has to be conceived with a Y chromosome which can only be contributed by the male. Also if a human could be born solely from a human female, the only way even hypothetically possible would mean it would be an exact clone of the mother.

So how if Jesus was born of a virgin wasn’t he female and an exact genetic duplicate of his mother?
If you are a Catholic you may not answer this question by saying that God intervened and somehow supplied the missing chromosomes because it is the Dogma of your church that there was no such divine interception. Such an answer invoking divine genetic participation in the creation of a viable Jesus zygote would be clearly heretical according to RC theology.
