Society & Culture - 2 October 2007

When you consider historical claims such as "ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny" and then have frauds like Haekel modify drawings and add fish gills to embryos to justify his fuhrer's "ethnic cleansing". When vestigal organs once claimed as useless (such as the appendix) are later found to have a legitimate function. When "apemen" such as Nebraska man (pig tooth), Piltdown man (hoax based on human skullcap and orangutan's jaw), and Ramapithecus (extinct orangutan) are presented as missing links. Makes me wonder what else evolutionists are trying to pass as reliable science.

I got called fat twice in 2 days, one time by a non family member. I am kind of fat but not considered obese or anything. I’m just wondering how tactless people are these days.

Last night some guy asked what was my religion because he sees my head scarf and I answered Islam, so he starts going on and on, on why so radical change, since I just reverted to Islam (by choice). Then he said that muslims we are so honored dying and killing people for Allah. So I explained to him that, those who do this are not true followers of Islam and they will be condemned. And made him realize he had made a mistake critizising harsh. Anyway I left and today I came back and my desk was decorated with Happy Birthday ribbons (I turned 23 today) my friends did this for me. So I have been sitting here all day long people greeting me, and then he came and said happy birthday and extended his hand to to shake mine. And I totally so forgot in that moment and didn't think about it, that a woman is not to touch a man or viceversa if they are not mahraam. I did it because I was taught to shake people hands as greetings, and this time it went over my head. Is this a bad sin or something?

The Bible says it's OK to sell your daughter to slavery.

Government says freedom of religion.

Could someone sell their daughter to slavery in another country and say it's part of their religion as an excuse to make money?

I got in trouble for asking this because everybody here in Tennessee are Bible pushers and not a smart Atheist like me.

And when my "friends" if that's what you want to call them, started treating me differently when they found out I was. I had been "friends" with them for over 2 months and all of a sudden I'm not cool enough to hang with them anymore. What's with that? Ha.

Not that I care, because I hate everyone here anyways, but I'm just saying, you can't treat somebody you've known for awhile and them considered you "friend" then all of a sudden treat you differently because I have a different religion.

Many people, of many different faiths believe that non-believers are going to hell.

What do you believe the manifestation of hell would be? Fire and brimstone? The worst experience of you life lived over and over again? Abscene of a divine prescene?

If you don't believe in hell, you don't need to answer.

How can they say that Hitler was an atheist when he has gone on the record making these statements:

"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together" (1941)

"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity." (1941)

"Let it NOT be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things." (1941)

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless." (1941)

"We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State." (1941)

Also, Hitler told Hermann Rauschnig that he inten"to stamp out Christianity root and branch." (1933)

He also said: "One is either a Christian or a German -you cannot be both"

Cor1 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law
Cor1 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church

why ?

It's a scientific theory. Why do... oh yeah, because it doesn't go against the Bible. In truth, evolution is even more plausible than gravity, scientifically speaking.

Why don't you put down your myth book and start reading nonfiction? Maybe you'll stop making fools out of yourselves.

Obviously this isn't directed toward Christians who know evolution is the truth (you guys are on the right track).

on EVERY SINGLE religious question i see there's always that there are some people who just are trying to prove others wrong and ridicule anyone who has different beliefs

like, what the hell you know?
there are so many topics about atheists and how they're wrong/right
why can't we just say "oh, he/she's whatever, that's cool it's not really any of my business and i should respect him/her"

Why are christians and non christians stuck on the traditional answer rather than the Biblical one?

They keep asking what sin puts someone in hell. Or variations thereof, like why would God send a sinner to hell when we all sin? Or why would a homosexual go to hell?

Can't folks, christians and non christians realize, that no one goes to hell for a sin (well there are some minor exceptions, discussed below), but folks go to hell because they rejected Christ.

The Bible says Jesus died for all sins. Those who don't accept Christ, still have their sins paid for, but haven't aquired the free gift of that wonderful grace.

The only acceptions are these. Jesus said there is 1 unforgivable sin, the blasphemy of the Holy spirit. But that sin, is the rejection of Christ, because the Holy spirit leads folks to Christ.

Also some christians lose their salvation, but unlike those in the OSAS camp, its not as easy as they claim.
