fail to realize how much better off they are than 90% of the world?

For example, a person will post on here that they are contemplating suicide because they are not popular, and they feel they should not live - but fail to realize that there are people in Darfour, for example, who clearly have horrible conditions, but WANT to live, they are not suicidal, and they are in horrible living conditions, and have none of the luxuires that ANYONE on YA has - why do they fail to make that simple comparison before spouting?

All that humanity has created since eating the fruits of knowledge has in some way been integral to destroying, "... the Earth that God so Loves." and wasn't that the Serpent's plan?

Perhaps Genesis and Evolution are both true.

No matter how much of an attempt Christian apologetics make towards making people believe that Christianity rises above the contentions put forward by skeptics, the fact of the matter is that no explanation or defense of Christianity can show you that god is real.

That’s why Christians now say that it not with “man’s understanding, but by god’s understanding” that we can know for certain of God’s realness. They proclaim to skeptics that god can only be understood in a spiritual, esoteric sense by taking your heart to god.
Basically, these Christians who say that they know FOR CERTAIN, certain that god is real feel that they have felt that indescribable spiritual “knowingness” of god’s existence.

All the good rules to live by out there, and not enough people living by them. There are rules of kindness and honesty in basically all religions, but people tend to focus on the odd rules that allow bigotry, judging (usually false) and self-righteous indifference. Even the most basic social rules of conduct and interaction are ignored on a regular basis. What causes otherwise intelligent people to behave this way?
I've asked this before, but wasn't real impressed with many of the answers.

He kicked all the other gods of the haven
That sounds selfish to me...
He wants to role alone and doesn’t share with no one…

He throws every one who doesn’t agree with him to hell
What about freedom of speech
This guy, angel Lucifer
He didn’t like how god runs things so god threw him to jail
Sounds just like another dictator, with secret police and all.
