Christians tell me that my willingness to accept science is faith. OK Fine. Let's assume that my acceptance of science is faith. When I broke my ankle, the doctors fixed it using techniques that were developed by science. I have food to eat every single day because science has developed ways to plant massive amounts of germ resistant crops. Science has also drastically improved the quality of my life. I have a car so I don't have to walk everywhere. I have a TV, a refrigerator, a washing machine, a house, and a computer, all of which were developed by science. However, faith in God never did anything to improve the quality of my life. Ever since I gave up on the church and decided to go to college for engineering, my life has been so much better. Faith in science yields results. Faith in God yields nothing.

slaughtering palestinians at a ratio of 8to1 then claiming you are the victim of terrorism and anti semitism is simply laughable by any rational logic,religion or creed.No excuse is credible for these levels of terrorism not even the jewish holy torah allows killing beyond a eye for a eye

The package does have the Kosker K symbol on it but I heard this from some of the Jewish people I know. They said they would never buy that brand.

I'm agnostic and I dont really want to go to church anymore. I'm 20 but still live with them, I can't afford to move out yet, should I just go for them, or tell them I dont want to? How do I talk to them about this without everyone getting angry?

I'm not expressing my religious viewpoints when I say this, but if all religions claim that theirs is the "absolute truth", then how in the world is someone supposed to find out which one really is? 8(

Will I go to Naraka if I believe in Christ? Or Hades if I believe in only Krishna?

This is where the confusion takes hold.
Could someone be kind enough to explain?

*Again, no offense to any religion out there. And don't assume I'm an Atheist because of this question. It has always been on my mind, and I wanted to share this with Yahoo answers users.*

I like aniseed generally,and really like this drink but I dont know of any other hetrosexual men who do. I"m concerned that people will think I"m gay if I admit to liking this. I am worried about drinking this when i"m with other people and so i stick with beer.

Does God give me the desires that are in my heart or do they come from me? How do I know if what I want is what is right for me? How do I know if my desire is right or my motivation is right? Any idea? Scriptures?

I know this seems like a flipped question…but I mean it.

I can not believe anyone who reads this tomb could ever think this god is loving and merciful.

I mean have you read this stuff???...he murdered Uzzah Uzzah, seen God’s Ark about to fall, reached out to steady it. God killed him for his attempt…why?...for defending this oh so precious item?!?

He murdered every living thing he created in the flood for kicks…I mean…he’s god…with a snap of the fingers he could fix all he was displeased with, and kill all the grandchildren he hated so much.

For those unaware Gen chap 6 opens telling how the sons of god descended from heaven to have sex with mortal women and the women had giants for kids.

In Judges 11, Jephthah vowed to God that if he were victorious in battle, he would give to God whatever came through the doors of his house upon his return from battle….god accepted the deal and gave Jephthah massive victories, guess who seen him first?...his own daughter!!

Well, the question below about an Athiestic marriage got me thinking. What about Wiccan marriage? (I've asked a similar question before but... didn't get a good answer. I had worded the questions very strangely).

Anyways, Wiccans generally have a handfasting. But handfastings don't legally join you.

I know you could have a Justice of Peace or a judge marry you, but how would you, as wiccans, go about it?

Would you not have a handfasting, and just have the Justice of Peace marry you?

Would you just do a handfasting and not be legally joined at all?

Would you do a handfasting ceremony, then go over to the Justice of Peace and have him marry you by law?

Of course, the decison would also be based on your partner's religion too. But I'm just curious how other Wiccans were married.

I have seen profiles made to promote attacking atheists. Now why is it allowed that others are completely allowed to create profiles that promote to harm christians. If it simply promoted atheism,or anything else , that is one thing, but it directly violates a clause in the terms of use:"is patently offensive and promotes racism, bigotry, hatred or physical harm of any kind against any group or individual;"

How in the world can this be allowed I thought myspace doesnt take sides. Why is their so much overlooking with people harming christians.

I know alot who are going to respond to this question will make something to say that they are alot to do so. They arent aloud to do what ever they want, Iam not so why should they?

IF THIS IS TOO LONG FOR YOU THEN DON’T READ IT!!
I just had a heart to heart with God a few minutes ago. I told him I honestly didn’t know what I wanted, I’m 21 years old and I have never been with anybody in my life, kind of makes you loose all hope after a while doesn’t it. I am so pissed at the man whose suppose to be my soul mate, I’ve been everywhere, work, city bus, mall, college, store still nobody. I went to a wedding last Saturday, it was the most beautiful I had ever seen but my jealousy took over, I wanted to be in that bride’s place I wanted to experience what it would be like to walk down the aisle with my father and to the man of my dreams. To cut the cake to throw the flower at the girls, to make invitations, when I got home I realized I was never going to be with anybody. My grandparents and parents got married at 21 I lost all hope. I don’t want to be married at 25 or 29 and be 50 years old by the time my child is only 10 years old. I have stopped caring about my appearance lately since I don’t really have anybody to look good for. I don’t really pray much about it that much because I find it very difficult to do so, asking for a man is so hard to me probably because I feel it will never happened, I asked God to show me a sign, but I still feel so uneasy, I have already accepted the fact I will stay single, but what I wanted to ask was, where in the bible does it mention the gift of singleness?
