Society & Culture - 28 September 2007

How come when anyone asks why you beleive in god, you never give a proper answer, you just spout stuff from the bible and call it proof, or you just say it's because he obviously is real, well, please give me actual, hard evidence of this magical man in the sky's existence, because the bible sure aint proof. Cant you just take a look at your religion for a second, and then you will realise just how absurd it is, wars have been fought over imaginary people and the things they never did.

Or does it ony matter because they think they are forgiven. I do not see any moral difference at all between religious people and atheists I know.

RAMALLAH, West Bank - A new squad of morality police has begun detaining Palestinians who eat or drink in public during Ramadan in the West Bank, where the Islamic month of daytime fasting was always widely observed but never imposed.

Given the future success of the global jihad to impose Islamic theocracy, would Muslims arrest nonmuslims for eating and drinking?

...that Christians who say, "evolution is a lie because it cannot be proven" offer another explanation that cannot just be proven, but also has absolutely NO evidence whatsoever to back up their claim. So much for wanting proof for something, huh?

I also find it ironic that the people who discard evolution have no idea what the hell they're talking about, and say things like, "I didn't come from no primoridal ooze by accident, god put us here."

I mean, I'm sure god didn't design them to be ruthless baby killers, right? it's just an unforeseeable (to him) result of sin.

Then why do religious people refer to themselves as the "Chosen People" and why do they think that there religion is more correct than ancient religions such as the Aztec one.

Isnt it pride and arrogance to think that your tribe was more right than the others?

For me The Bible and Experience..
Also I am not a bigot and have been around manyy homosexual people, so tell me this, sharing a personal experience- I lived in Palm Springs CA for a time, worked for a man who owned a clothing optional Gay Men's resort, I did the books there PT anyways I can't tell you how immoral the men were and I would tell them as well, they would laugh alot in what I said, because I am not mean spirited anyways this is why I think Men in that community are immoral.
Many (Gay)men told me The Heterosexual chase is always about men chasing women so to speak, and having to be a certain way women are attracted to (Taken out to dinner, buy gifts, talk sweet nothings) so eventually they might get lucky, in Gay Man world totally opposite it's bold in your face, get down to buisness, testosterone to testosterone, and that is why it is an immoral lifestyle in society and the bible, so even if you don't believe the bible do you think this kind of life is moral?

Any ideas how to make this costume, or possibly buy one? (I doubt I'll be able to buy one, but I figured I'd ask anyway.

Please, for purposes of this question, already believe in God, or assume God's existence for purposes of this question - however you conceive of God. There are other questions I'd have for athiests, agnostics. A sincere question, and thanks!

When one minute their telling you how much they love their God and then their off doing drugs and sleeping around? I live in the Midwest, it is astonishing. You'll find that 9 out of 10 or so college age kids claim themselves Christian, but these are the people who crowd all the over the top parties and are often cruel to others. The only semi-nice, real people I know around here are those I'm friends with and play music with, most atheist or agnostic. Some life change their religion has brought upon them....

Until the total destruction of the Jewish nation on the 26 September 70 A.D. by the Romans, Christianity was just another branch of the Jewish religion, supported by the Zelots to take the power away from the stornger getting influence of Jewish hardliners. Who was that guy, who single handeldy changed Chtistianity into a succesful Religion, giving it more attractive western attributes.

It is a scholarly article discussing the subject. I realize those who hold the bible innerancy doctrine will rebuke this but for those who are interested feel free to comment.

I'm interested in these religions, if your Pagan/Wiccan, please tell me the beliefs of your religion and any links that would be useful to me.
If your not Wiccan/Pagan, don't bother answering, this isn't for you.
