and i don't want to hear WHAT you believe about the bible--i already know that. i want to know what PROCESS led you to come to the conclusion that said book should actually be taken seriously. did you have some kind of experience? is it just because that is how you were raised? i want to hear WHY.

I recently read that Catholics don't aquire all their teachings from the bible alone. If this is so, then where else would a church aquire their "rules"

ordinary men (priests, ministers) who don't even agree with each other.
Wouldn't God want each person to be able to understand it for themselves? Doesn't he trust the average person's intelligence?

This question I ask is something that comes up with sports especially.. I have coached basketball and softball, and to often I hear that everyone should play! Even those who do not show up for practices, or who have little or no ability athletic's wise. When I played sports, if you wanted to be a starter, you had to be out the other players trying for that spot! Now..we say everyone is equal ability and this is not true! We are sending the wrong message to our youth in that, when they get out into this sometimes cold world, the reality is that someone will be better then them at school, in jobs they may be trying to get, and life in general! I am all for instilling confidence, but sometimes I think we go overboard a bit.. Lets be honest.. We are not all equal in everything are we?

I regard myself as a Christian, however I do not believe in churches as such. I believe no one needs to speak to their god through a middle man and nor do they need to congregate in order to be a 'good' christian.

I also do not criticise religious beliefs that conflict with mine as who am I to criticise others?

Yet a lot of supposed christians believe I am not christian because I do not attend church etc.

So, what DOES it take to be a chritian is my question, I refuse to believe I am so wrong in my thing

This is for those of you who posted that you would prefer a christian teacher for your children...and for those of you who think that somehow an atheist or homosexual couldn't be as good or better than a christian one.

Do you really believe that? I'm an atheist and a teacher-and a darn good one if I may say (or at least the parents and children say). If you found out that I was an atheist and your child was in my class, would that be a problem?

I am an intelligent, tolerant, and kind person who believes that no views on religion or politics should be talked about or implied by ANY teacher at any time. That is not my job and I would personally be horrified if any teacher of my own child shared their views on faith or politics within their classroom.

Your thoughts?

It brings no promise of everlasting life or heaven. It offers no no hope of personal immortaility, no promise of recompensation for injustices suffered, no blueprints to sure salvation...

Damn!!!! Something is to be said of people that put the "Truth" before themselves.

1 John 1:5
"This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all." I think that death is a bad thing, so why then would people say that God kills and destroys and is angry and brings evil on people if 1 John 1:5 totally contradicts their "logic"?

According to the scriptures...if you follow the timeline that i seem to understand...Adam and Eve would have been in the garden about 5000 years ago...however it also claims that the God created man on the sixth day of creation...which should make humans as old as the other animals...Science seems to disagree with this..I beleive that we are reading time wrong in the scriptures...or could it be that humans were aroudn before 5000 years ago but it simply wasnt recorded?

Okay i was talking to this guy and I asked him what he finds attractive in a women.he said "a woman who is well fit, take care of herself, nice slim body 'head strong', loves to have a good time but know when to be serious." and I asked him "do u really mean a nice slim body?" and he answered "yeah I do.I like to be with a woman who can turn heads and is in good shape" so I sat there for a while and thought about some of the girls he dated...and they were all over weight or obeast. so i asked him "well why are u so drawn to big women if you're SO attracted to the 'slim bodies'?" and his answer was out of this world. can't believe this guy. He said "b/c big women have low self-esteem and its easy to figure out what they wanna hear...if u tell them what they want to hear they'll do anything for u, so I take advantage of that..."
MEN and WOMEN is this true that some ppl date others with low self worth b/c they'll do anything to keep someone? Have u ever done this? Would u do this?
