Society & Culture - 9 September 2007

I don't believe in God making His power as a Creator, Sustainer & Destroyer of this Universe as a fear tool for coercing people to follow the path laid out in the religious texts. It is out of Love, He set those rules for us. I believe, it should be out of Love for Him that we should follow them. I frequently see people quote verses like as though God says to do this & that, so do it or you shall be severely punished for it. He gave us freewill to choose between bad & good & to do good out of Love for Him & not out of fear or repercussions from Him. Your genuine opinions, please?

Ok, I'm sure the non-believers will have fun with this, but for the believers in God, I'd like to hear what you think is the most miraculous thing about Noah building the ark. I have one I will share after I hear Believers of God answers, there is no one right answer here. Have fun.

children, They say that all babies are identical in terms of their belonging to this or that national group. (the laws proclaim the same by the way)And it is very good I think. So it should be true for the adults, that they are regarded as equal the same as children? Is it so? Sorry, if this question offends anyone, I really don't mean to hurt one's feelings.

Lately a few christians have told me that the world itself is evidence of God. that the complicity of the world and humans and everything proves there is a God. But there are an infinite number of possiblities as to why this is. Why does it have to mean a God? Couldn't it very well be that things turned out this way because if they hadn't we wouldn't exist? we could have been something else altogether, i suppose, and we just happened to turn out the way we are. and the way the world works, while it seems complicated, may really just be the only way it could work.

Who... are the IGNORANT BREATHERN... ?

Are they THOSE.... that 'think that' they Know More than GOD?

IS it the Christian... that Knows About GOD... and does Not Really... KNOW GOD!

Do those... IGNORANT.... DO THIS...?

(Romans 10:3) For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

This morning I posted on my 360 / Blog the Answer!

Thanks, RR

Does Murphy's law rule the realm of possibility, or is God the ruler? Why does Murphy's law only talk about negativity? Couldn't we remove the 'wrongs' from the equation and still have a valid theory?

Murphy's Law:
"Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong."

I hear all the time in F&T meeting that members just "don't know what they'd do or where they'd be" without it; that they'd be lost and without purpose. Do you feel the same way?

I ask this because they don't have to love their fellow human being... they can chose to hate and war against who ever they see fit... if they should so chose....

Christians, how do you as a human and not factoring God into the equation put up with your own resentment of Atheists...???

I just hate Atheists so much but I want to be a better person than that... What can I do???

I'm a Muslim and I don't listen to his rantings. He's crazy. He's completely anti Islamic. Islam says the highest education possible is mandatory for women, yet his guys kill women for fulfilling that. Islam says women may not be forced into marriages and are only below males in the physical strength department, yet his guys kidnap women and say women are second if anything. What kind of Muslim is this? It's not a Muslim, it's somebody trying to call their own humanity hating ways a religion and getting away with it. What do you think?

"And so their proclamations ignore 14 centuries of Muslim scholarship, and instead take the form of lists of anti-American grievances and of Koranic quotations referring to early Muslim wars against Arab idolators."

Charles Darwin, from his autobiography (1876)

"In October 1838, that is, fifteen months after I had begun my systematic inquiry, I happened to read for amusement Malthus on Population, and being well prepared to appreciate the struggle for existence which everywhere goes on from long- continued observation of the habits of animals and plants, it at once struck me that under these circumstances favourable variations would tend to be preserved, and unfavourable ones to be destroyed. The results of this would be the formation of a new species. Here, then I had at last got a theory by which to work".

So God's ideas can be explained as "Evolutionist" according to Darwin:

"The favorable variations (people who believe and accept the Christ), would be preserved, and unfavorable variations (people who reject or refuse to believe in the Christ), would be destroyed. The results of this would be a formation of a new species."

The new species being reborn in Christ, now a child of God.
