Here are the details from the report:
"Prosecutors have said Benoit, 40, strangled his wife with a cord, used a choke hold to strangle his 7-year-old son, placed Bibles next to the bodies and hanged himself on a piece of exercise equipment the weekend of June 22."

What is the significance of this? Was he attempting to follow the biblical example of Abraham with his son Isaac? Or is this schizophrenic-type behavior normal for bible-lovers?
Here's the article: http://sports.yahoo.com/top/news?slug=ap-wrestlerdead&prov=ap&type=lgns
Your opinion, please.

If yes! why! There are no proof of them. It is hypothesis either panspermia or Exogenesis.
How can you believe in something that has no proof of just a hypothesis, and refuse to believe in something such as a deity?

The eye will see want it wants to see. What does your eye want to see? If we limit our self to things that have proof! we will never discover what is behind what the eye can see. Not everything must have proof, and some have proof, and we are yet to uncover them. Ever considered that fact!

Here are some fun facts that many of you may not have known:

-Atheists are not allowed to join boy scouts, even though they get funded by the government and get special land use

-In a national poll conducted by Minnesota researchers, found that atheists are the least trusted minority in the U.S.

-In 7 different states, atheists are not allowed to run for governmental or civil office (state senate, representative, court judge, etc.)

-In those same states, atheists are not allowed to testify in court at all. (Arkansas, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, SC, NC, and Texas)

-"No, I don't know that atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God." -George Bush Sr.

-It's still illegal in many states to buy alcohol or buy a car on Sundays, because of someone elses religious beliefs.

-The words "Under God" were added to the pledge of alligence in 1954. Before, no such words existed in the pledge.

to see if reincarnation really works!

ok it sounds bad, but there volunteers, so

like

ok, here it goes
get about a million people,-monitor them for awhile, then systematically kill them all while making people try to make babys where they all fell, and maybe some should will drift into the new pregnant women’s fetus or something .

no this is not evil genocide, just an experiment for the scientific atheist watchers.
Have some way to tell weather of not the baby is the last person, give me ideas so I can improve on this thought.

i want to persuade people to make a cult and make this happen, though it wont be a million, more like maybe a few hundred.

Walt Disney Movies
Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Escape from Witch Mountain/Return to Witch Mountain
Snow White, Aladdin, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Sword in the Stone, Mary Poppins

All had some form of witchcraft.

So, if you oppose Harry Potter, what is the difference between Harry Potter and Walt Disney?

i ask because most religions have borrowed from the religions that came before them. so most of the storys have been recycled.

I have always had to deal with racism or stares when I go to public places or even just something simple as a restaurant. How do you think this day in age is different from say the 60s, 70s or 80s as far as white people dating black people or blacks dating whites?

about the feelings of those who lost loved ones in that same incident? I mean, when you say God went out of His way to save you, aren't you saying He didn't give a damn about the ones He didn't save? I think it's kind of egotistical to imagine that you are so special to God that He went out of His way to save precious little 'ol you, but He couldn't be bothered to save anyone else! Isn't that offensive?

Assuming you were raised and unsuccessfully indoctrinated into any given religion, how did your relatives respond to your atheism? Are they accepting or do they give you a hard time.

When I'm with family, I am forced to avoid the topic of religion, or the discussions get pretty hostile.

now she's saying that he's the devil, cuz he's taking us away from her. we make little perverted jokes (alot of people do) and she hates that, cuz it says in the bible that you shouldn't do that. I say that the bible says TRY. not DO. it also says to love everybody. she's not liking him. she calls him so many things and she's run all of us friends away except me. i think she's getting really annoying, but i've known her for over 7 years, and her parents trust me and basically love me.

Why The Christian God is so exclusive? Why did he create so much for so little?
I have read the bible. I was even a follower for a time.

He reminds me of most of the pagan Gods that Christians tell you are bogus.
Does it not seem a waste? Waste not want not I always say.

Yes, there HAVE been refinements to make your time more Hedonistic, your lives more leisurely, such as this computer, Plasma TV, MP-3s, fast Japanese motorcycles, "safer" autos; the list is seemingly endless.

Yet, I can & do recall a time when life WAS much more pleasurable, simpler, even safer. When there was much LESS Murder, Rapine, and Rampage; there were LESS frivolous "Laws", LESS Police, LESS burglar alarms. A time when the worst "Terrorist" event was a deluded Cuban hi-jacking a plane "home" to Cuba! A time where there was much more emphasis on "service"; a person could buy a gallon of gas & still get their tires & oil checked, & windshield cleaned. A time when "411" calls were FREE & Operators were friendly, helpful, & HUMAN. A time when one could STILL be proud of their President, when most people were still unfamiliar with the words "Incompetent" & "Buffoon".

MY QUESTION STANDS: Are we all now just simple-mindless SHEEPLE distracted by Technology?

They use grape juice and crackers for communion?!? Am i missing something here, or shouldn't they be using real wine and bread like in the Bible, since they think God's such a stickler for details? This is one of the reasons I'm not a Christian... too many damn nitpicking rules, and if you get one little detail wrong, you still go to Hell...
