And what if he/she never grew out of it, and wanted to go to Liberty University to take classes on "Flood Geology," "Radiohaloes," and "the Incest of Eden"? That would sure put a dent in the pocketbook, if nothing else.

Assume that any quotation to scripture will be counterproductive and futile because the someone thinks they are all human-fabricated fables (torah-bible-qur'an-upanishads).

He's your God as well as mine. I don't care how you feel, how wrongly you were raised or what you say to offend me, the world if falling apart under our feet it's about time we as humans stop taking all the credit for what has been done good or bad at anytime God is sooooo real that once you experience him you know what all the Christians are talking about. God is no joke and no lie It's about time humans stop letting the Lucifer minipulate their minds into thinking that life is just... and existance is just... If theres no God why are we here what is existance and why is anything anything. It all makes so much sence. And when the end does come, you'll see what I mean your gonna wish you read this and changed your life around. Imagine all the trillions of people in hell saying "man I wish I would have listened" and " If I could only go back to earth and warn everyone who is like I was". What I'm saying is if I could beg you to come to paradise with me I would. please ppl. lets all go.

The fact that Hell is the announced punishment doesn't make it's level of punishment acceptable. You can't say "well you knew what the consequences were and did it anyway." If you do, then why don't you advocate torture for car theives?

Just curious as to how old the Earth is. Science says one thing and religion says another. Convince me either way.

Think about your answer very hard before you answer.
Would a death of your child, loved one, or something like losing everything you cherished stop you from believing?

So what would it be that would turn you into an atheist?

I'm an atheist, but i was just curious. What does the torah say about the messiah?

This is as serious as it gets ladies and gentlemen. No jokes, no venom, this one hit me today and I have to ask it. The Bible, the book held so near and dear to by christians says what I have written in the question.
Based on this verse, God's lack of intervention in the god-awful issues plaguing humanity (Pick one: Darfur, Iraq, Hurricane Katrina, etc) makes him a sinner. Certainly the God who laid down the law should be bound to it, and if he created the law certainly he knows it. His loving nature definitely must tell him that alliviating humanity's woes would be the right thing to do. Therefore his inactivity makes him a sinner, correct?

If you refute this, do not be scared, spit venom and run. Enable your email options and then state your case, otherwise don't bother.

Atheists... your welcome!

I mean, if you're Christian or Jewish(any Jewish answers will help), is it wrong to like stories of other cultures gods? I love mythology but I have a nagging feeling that there's something wrong about reading about it.....and knowing it.

I'd like to take my boyfriend to see the Rosh Hashanah celebrations in a synagogue tomorrow night. The problem is that I moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and I don't know any active synagogues here. Help, anyone?

I ask this because certain belief systems (Christianity in particular) require repentance and absolute humility before higher power(s). The adherents are supposed to realize that they will ALWAYS fail at perfect goodness (in this life) no matter how hard they try and how hard they try to learn to be good.

How do you think you stand in terms of your own personal idea of "goodness"? Are you still learning? Have you met the standard?

If it were demonstrated to you that the vast majority of people will only restrain themselves, morally, if they believe they are being watched and judged by an invisible, omnipotent being...

...would you embrace religion as a necessary lie?

I'm not saying it has been demonstrated. This is purely hypothetical.

Some of mine.
1- When I was 10 years old, my Mom's ex-boyfriend tried to knock me out but I got away. My 11 year old brother was not as fortunate - he was killed.
2- Once, I had a Satanist put a pistol to my head and threaten to pull the trigger. For some reason, he couldn't.
3- Car swerved into my lane - both of us traveling at 60mph+ and our side view mirrors hit.

If they paid you back?

I'm 24 now, but last yr., I was living back with my former foster family after Hurricane Katrina so I can finish up my college degree, since my home was destroyed. My former foster sister used my car for the whole day, when she could've used her own, & nothing was wrong with her car. She paid me back for the gas & told me that I "BETTER" use it for gas, instead of junk food. I feel like if you borrowed from me, I have the right to spend MY money that you paid me back on whatever I please. & at that time, I didn't spend my money on junk food. I'm just tired of being bullied & bossed around.

Hi,
I am a new graduate student in USA, and often people ask me casually and quickly, "How am I doing"? like Profs, salespersons at supermarket, peers etc etc. After saying, "I am fine" etc, Should I ask them back on how are *they* doing..?? I mean is it rude to just tell about yourself, and not ask them back, but I find it very mechanical and some kind of ritual to ask them back, and sometimes out of place, if they seemed to throw a quick "how are you doing" at me..

Pl give some insights, or should the reaction be diff depending on pple on opposite..like diff for Profs, and diff for peers..??

Thanks
