I'm counting on Rev Albert Einstein to quote the scriptures that prove that God chooses us, and that He knew, before we were born, who would accept Him and who would reject Him. On those ". . . He put His mark."

This question is in addition to my previous question, where it was established from sources of Islam and writings of Islamic scholars, that a Goat had actually aten some verses of the Quran before it was complied by Abu bakr after the death of the Prophet (PBUH).

Sources are given in previous question.

So what colour Goat?

God rejected the fig leaf aprons which Adam and Eve made (Gen. 3:21). Why do Mormons memorialize the fall by using fig leaf aprons in the secret temple ceremonies?

Secondly, I think that there are atleast 25 other faults in the Mormon beleif.

It appears that after some two thousand years, Jesus is reaccessing whether the investment he made in planet Earth was worth it. In light of recent events and the present state of the world, He has released the following statement.

"At the time my father and I decided to do what we did, the whole saving the world bit, we were expecting at least a 50% turn around. Clearly, the human market has fallen well short of our expectations and, if we don't begin to see a change in the numbers pretty soon, I'm afraid we may have to cut our losses."

Jesus's publicist was not immediately available to comment.

Are they a "sin"?
Have you ever had one? Would you have another one?
Even if you're not religious, do you think they are a good idea?

Tonight is our first game. This is the Friday I've been ready for for a while. So atheists will you wish me luck? Christians will you pray? I feel super nervous right now, and I think it will last until the third play of the game or so. But anyway, I'm signing out for the evening, so have a great day.

Can we know for sure that a god created this planet, solar system, and universe? Man has been using the materials here on earth to create new things for a long, long time. How do we know for sure that it wasn't a higher life form that isn't necessarily a god? Such a being could have worked alone with this world as it's personal chemistry experiment, or it could have worked in tandem with other such life forms.

Can we know for sure that what ever started life on this planet hasn't, in fact, died itself before it had a chance to show us how it accomplished this "creation"? The fact that not a single book on this planet dates back to the beginning of this earth, coupled with the inconsistency of the "holy" books accounts as compared to what is actually observable in reality, would make such a case much more credible than current religious beliefs.

With the multitude of life forms on this planet, how do we know it wasn't another salient but finite life form that created us?

As an atheist she was the one Christian I actually admired, she walked the talk. Yet it seems she had a lot of doubts and may have even stopped praying. My question to Catholics or any Christians, will see now not go to heaven?

50 yrs she went without feeling his love
and not once did he show her a sign of his love
why are people discounting this as nothing but a fluke
how convenient when the truth is put before you
