I mean, its rude and not very nice so sit there and say "Because your religion is bullshit". If you have the time to make fun of others because they believe something different then you obviously have to much time on your hands!
I dont AGREE with catholics! I dont AGREE with Jewish! But no way would I say their religion is stupid and call them idiots. That is their belief and they can believe what they want. People need to stop critisizing other because they have faith!!!

Just because YOU dont have faith, doesn't mean the rest of us cant have any!

I've known what the big bang is. From my understanding it is matter that exploded to make space. Did the matter create itself? How could it?

Now from a Christian side, if God is as powerful as Christians say, couldn't he create himself.

Whenever I see someone who dresses, talks, and acts like a rapper all I can think is that person must be either uneducated, stupid, or some combination of the two. From what I can tell, hip hop music centers around calling women bitches and hoes and being party to acts of violence and selling drugs. It denigrates those who are educated and those who work hard to make an honest living. I include people of all races in this assessment by the way.

If a Man or Pastor lives his entire life as a christian then at the last hours of his life back-slides into sin and rents a hooker then on the way to drop her off dies where does he go heaven or hell?

Note he did not repent and he died instantly.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

we worship the creation and not the creator? Am I the only pagan who sees the true irony in this? LOL

Even better we can now sit back and watch all the Christians post "But it's true! You do! We know everything so why should be bother to learn about what you actually believe?"

First of all, this isnt a pro-atheist ignorant and biased piece of writing, I want to see peoples opinions on this matter so that i can come to a more reasonable conclusion.

For this subject i will choose christianity, Lets begin

1). God is not all loving: from the responses i have read to the question "god isnt all loving because of hell" it usually is along the lines of him/her being a holy god or punishing the evil, however, this is a black or white matter, he/she either is or isnt. there can be no buts or ifs to such a simple matter. Hell proves god isnt all loving.

2). Suffering disproves god: This famous statement, in my opinion is true. let me give you an extreme yet theortically true example.

We are all gods children right? lets say you had a child and a paedophile came in and started to molest him. You have the ability to not only stop it, but make everything perfect with a blink of your eye. but you dont, you watch it happen, is that morally wrong? Yes, it is.

and answering questions on here and I heard the great Roy Orbison singing. I had to go sit down in the living room and hear it. He was singing "Crying." I just loved his music. He was not the most attractive man but wow, could he sing. I bet a lot of you are Orbison fans. What is your favorite or what are you favorites. I don't just have one. One of my favorites is "It's Over."

Simple question.... i think..
Can you, as an individual, change your own body temperature from your surroundings?

I am asking because, here's the deal.
I am a young adult, living in the heat of Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Of course it get's very hot around here alot! But ever since I was in junior high (at least 7 years ago) I've wore a sweater, coat, etc every day. I even sleep with a blanket.
Now years later, I've noticed, that I don't get hot or cold as easliy as others. I can be in a 'freezing' place and I'm not as 'delicate' as other people.
So I was wondering.. am I just plain,'weird'... or did my 'many years' of wearing a sweater (even in the dying heat) make me change my own body's temperature and subjectivity?

just wondering... I'm sure one of you is smart enought to answer logicaly my question.. hahhaa

Well my family allow me to love anyone I want but its just that they are edgy for some people. They feel fine when if I wanna date Asian or Caucasian girls but sorry to say they don't feel the same for the others. They don't hate other races its just they don't feel comfortable. I know its kinda racist but who isn't racist? NO one can say they don't have a little racism in them. I think I do since I don't trust certain people the first time I see them but when I get to know them then its all good. DO you parents feel the same for you? Like they're kinda uncomfortable for you to date certain races but they allow you to anyway? I don't think theres anything wrong to doubt but if they hate its a whole different story.

While this was practiced by early Mormon's it has since been removed as a Mormon practice and is now condemed by the LDS church. Still so many people believe Mormon's still have multiple wives.... why? Who is telling you this?

If you have read the bible then this will pertain to you. Otherwise, just ignore it.
Do you find the bible useful for anything whatsoever, even if it's just for strengthening your disbelief?
If so, what is your favorite part?
I personally like the proverbs section.
I'm not Christian by the way. I'm just wondering because the proverbs section is the only part that seems somewhat relevant and reality based and I like it. I don't read it for religious reasons and I don't read it often, but I have read through it. I used to be Christian when I was younger. The proverbs section is the only part I like still.

stars burn throughout the universe, black holes crush matter to nothing, objects collide in space and life ends - our lives are insignificant and ultimately of no consequence. When we burn and expend all the energy we have stored - isn't that life?

For example, ‘theory’ is a word often misunderstood. So is the difference between ‘believing’ and ‘knowing.’ Is there such a thing as religiously motivated selective comprehension (RMSC)?

Heaven and hell?
I think i believe in the outline of it, but i mean, c'mon.
I seriousley can't believe that 'god' set out a list of rules, and then basically made it a "my-way-or-the-highway" thing.
Does anyone else believe in this??
And besides, I thought heaven was in the sky. I've been in a plane before, and no offense, but i havent seen anything.
If it were any higher, it would be called SPACE. not, HEAVEN
or well, i guess thats my opinion lol.

I know there are times when they respond to calls and don't want a suspect to know they are coming.

I recently saw an officer make a left hand turn from the right hand lane cutting off traffic without using lights or sirens. They were responding to a collision about a mile up the road. I know this because I was headed that direction and saw them parked in the road behind the vehicle involved with lights flashing. I was wondering why they would not turn on the lights before cutting off traffic in the intersection.
