A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six year olds. After explaining the commandment to "honor" thy Father and thy Mother, she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?" Without missing a beat one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."

Archaeologists have determined that Chinese farmers cultivated rice along the eastern coast as far back as 7,700 years ago and used fire and flood control measures to manage their fields. Wouldn't that have been rather hard to do if (according to some literal interpretations of the Holy Bible) the Earth is only 6,000 years old?

Although I've done the best I can in formulating my avatar to reflect what I look like I couldn't get half gray, half black hair and no 'aging' features...lol - short of uploading a real pic of me.

But I've often wondered whether our avatars 'affect' folk who read our postings.

If it's 'far out there' do they take us seriously?
Does our choice of headress, hairstyle etc. do the same?

Have you ever wondered?

Okay this is a question I have had for awhile. I am a christian and I don't just say it-I try to be a great example for others and try to do things that please God. Here is the question. I think donating organs is a great thing to do but if you die and donate your organs and the rapture comes,("and the dead in Christ shall rise") Will the person who got your organs just die? Will that organ stop working? I know that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord but that is your soul not your body so Is it OK to donate your organs? I would like your thoughts on this. Also why or why not? Also serious answers only please. I am not rude to anyone else about their faith so please respect mine as well and no ugly comments! Thank you and God Bless!

Atheist love to boast that they are not "religious" but you have to Believe there is no god in order to make that assumption and that cannot be proven, therefore atheism is religious.. are atheist wellingly ignorrant for there own personal gains? for reasons of ethics, materialism, sexual freedom and/or libralism? I don't believe there is a lack of evidence to support that there is a god, but I think the suppression of evidence is the problem, what do you think?

When I was 11year old I found out the right word for what I was, and that I knew I was since I was 5...I found out what the word "gay" and "homosexual" meant and I was finally able to associate a word to my difference. Because, I knew I was different mentaly from other boys from the time I was 5 maybe even before that. I learned these words and what I was when I was 11yrs, while in church, and the youth pastor preaching about the wrongness of homosexuality and that they wouldn't be allowed into heaven, if they didn't change. For years after that day I hated myself, I would constantly try and force myself to like girls and almost fooled myself into believing I had a crush on one, I didn't. I would pray to god everynight with tears in my eyes, begging him to change me to make me straight, to make me stop having thoughts about other boys instead of girls i was 11!! I would constantly wonder why I should go to hell for something I didn't choose He never answered my prayer...why?

Scientifical approach tries to explain the world, and we live in a scientifical world since we are looking for answers and giving explanations about things based on observation...
Christians do exactly the same, they answer questions, try to find an earthly logic/way of expressing their beliefs, they dont just say: this is it because this is it...but they look in the bible and look for an answer that satisfies themselves and may convince others...in their need of explaining things to themselves and make their religion less absurd tothe ears of non believers they are doing exactly the same that Darwin in his days did.
Pageants in the middle ages didnt question or try to explain their beliefs, society was not influenced by scientifical approach, so they just believed and said amen if they ever didnt understand anything but today the world is science and even christians are influenced by it and as everybody else have become part of it.

So how will education or science teach mankind how to get along? how will it educate people on how to *Love thy Neighbor* how will it teach people on morality? how will it teach people on the death penalty, abortion, homosexuality, fornication, polygamy, selfishness
greed, lovers of money more than lovers of people..How will a *Better Education* enhance society ? or will you jsy leave those other educational matters up to the government? or maybe to a nanny or a dysfunctional parent or to the school teacher? or maybe you will just let the Individual Person* make up thier own rules if they want to be a decent moral person on thier own terms?

Think about it. Every single ancient civilization had their own religion and ideas of how the world began. And yet, when you hear some of those stories, they are completely laughable concepts.

With that in mind, don't you think that, in the future (as if it hasn't already began now), today's ideas of God and creation will sound just as stupid as those of the past?

I mean, explaining day and night as "the moon and sun holding a grudge against each other and therefore not being able to share the same sky" is not as far-fetched as "God said "let there be light" and there being light, now is it?
