i have been to the middle east, and i found that hebrew speaking jews were white, while mixxed races were darker. Did the jews, mostly keep their Dna and genealogy pure? does this mean a white man can become tanned in the heat of the sun? i know i have seen many white men turn red like an indian or brown like a mexican.

What percent of the congregation of your church, in your opinion, is there primarily for spiritual reasons rather than for the gossip, punch and cookies, and networking opportunities?

Please give the denomination of the church and a ballpark of how many people are there on a typical Sunday.

For example, the church I attended growing up (and still get roped into going to once in a while for the sake of family unity): Methodist, 400ish, maybe 40% for spiritual message or education. Not exactly a pious crowd.

I don't undertand why people try to debate this subject. All holy scriptures were written by humans (and we all know what they're like ;)......seriously). That alone convinces me that religion is bogus. How can you possibly believe that a man was the son of god?!?! The same god that created the universe and everything in it. Doesn't that seem a bit foolish?

Jesus promised, "I will build my Church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it" (Matt. 16:18). This means that his Church will never be destroyed and will never fall away from him. His Church will survive until his return. Among the Christian churches, only the Catholic Church has existed since the time of Jesus. Every other Christian church is an offshoot of the Catholic Church. The Eastern Orthodox churches broke away from unity with the pope in 1054. The Protestant churches were established during the Reformation, which began in 1517. (Most of today’s Protestant churches are actually offshoots of the original Protestant offshoots.) Only the Catholic Church existed in the tenth century, in the fifth century, and in the first century, faithfully teaching the doctrines given by Christ to the apostles, omitting nothing. The line of popes can be traced back, in unbroken succession, to Peter himself. This is unequaled by any institution in history:

They're both delusional with respect to intelligence?

The average IQ given in this poll was around 140. This mean that they're smarter than over 98% of the total population. They can easily get into mensa. Now obviously most of them are lying and possibly delusional. So both atheists and Christians have something in common!!

Should get a Nobel Peace Prize for finding the common ground between atheists and Christians?

Just wondering, What do you think when you spend money and it says IN GOD WE TRUST, or sign a Certificate of Marriage and it says IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD, or stand in a court of law and swear to tell the truth the whole truth SO HELP ME GOD or write a date and put B.C. BEFORE CHRIST OR A.D. AFTER DEATH.

How do people who don't believe get around doing these things?

Matthew 7:13
Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14) But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

What must one do to find the truth, versus the deception?

I have no idea if i'm a lesbian or transgendered. When i was younger i always wanted to be a boy, even pretending to shave my invisible beard with my dad's shaver. When i played with barbies i would always play ken, or if i like a girl in my class i'd pretend to be her boyfriend. but in the past year or so i keep thinking i might be a lesbian, because at times i really am comfortable with being a girl, but at other times i'll wrap duct tape around my chest at home to see how i would look. this is why i need some help. I don't know which one i am.

The title pretty much sums it up. It all seems like a tapestry of lies. In my opinion people follow it blindly. I studied the history and it's based primarily on bullshit and corruption. I'm honestly considering converting, I just don't know what to. Any comments? Here we go.
