The negative approach is productive and often used by inspired writers (1 John 3:11,12). We hear about Christ's death and consequent results, but what is Christ had not died> What would we be losing out on, besides love (the greatest word a Christian uses)?

are the people posting their videos on youtube.com sadists. There are a lot of videos showing cruelty being to animals like kittens, chinchillas and even a video where a lion is shot death while it was mauling its trainer. The way the lion dies within minutes after struggling on the ground is real sad scene and it is being viewed on youtube.com without being reported for abuse. i think that day is not far when youtube.com will proudly show how a cannibal is eating another human being.

If Jesus is son of god, prove it, and, earlier christians admit there will be another person coming. What about that??

Everything you think you know about your religion comes from a mere book?! A book! Just a plain poorly translated book?!

Seriously there is only a book... Nothing else!
No research, no data, no testing...
All you can say to back up an argument is "read the bible"!


You read it, or it was read to you when you were a kid, and you simply think its true?!
I will NEVER understand this... unbelievable.

I am not an atheist, and I am not trying to start a religion argument, just seeing what the reasons are for why people believe in angels, and if you dont, explain why.

The "we" and "us" in Genesis are what are called the "Royal We", which is when a monarch refers to themselves in the plural. It is actually quite common, and has nothing to do with the Trinity.

Jews are very very strict in belief that GOD has no partners and is ONE (Singular).

1. God gives us suffering as punishment?
problems: Conflicts with the idea of an all loving God.
If you try to apply this to moral evil then you will loose free will.
2. God gives us suffering to test our faith?
problems: conflicts with our idea of an all loving God.
Apply to moral evil, loose free will.
3. God gives us suffering to help us learn, to teach us lessons?
problems: Challenges all loving God.
Moral evil-loose free will.
4. We are creatures with free will thus we will make choices that cause suffering for ourselves and others?
problems: applies only to suffering cause by moral choices.
Challenges the idea of an all loving God.
5. Nature operates according to the laws of nature?
problems: Applies to physical/mental/natural suffering and finitude. But it doesn't apply to moral choices. Does not have a God that applies to nature. God does not intervein.
Challenges the idea of an all powerful God because he does not intervien with nature.

I also think a question involving evolution belongs in R&S section for some reason.

I believe out of all the ones I know, I would go with DNA. If the offspring is different from the average DNA by more than a tenth of a percent, the offspring would die.

Since their are no species whose DNA is that close to humans or other species, I think that shows Evolution is a wrong

I know there are many more facts that disprove evolution. I'd like to hear the 1 you believe to be most telling..

Is it proper to go to a nudist colony while wearing a full-leg cast? Or should I just wait until I heal, and can have it taken off? I'd like to see some of my friends again, but I don't know if they'd consider a cast to be "partially clothed."

Would you agree that in order to qualify as an intelligent being or person, one must be able to think, act, communicate, and have a free will?

If you answer yes and you think that Satan can do all those things, then why JWs believe that the Holy Spirit is a person? The Bible teaches that He has all the attributes of a person.

I need to find a costume that is simple and doesn't require a lot of money & effort. The most I'm willing to spend is $10-20. I'm not good at crafts, so making my own costume is out of the question. I just want something that wouldn't embarass me. Any suggestions ?

I am reading more and more about how our media is being saturated with sex in the U.S. and how it is harming our society. Over exposure for children can be very harmful from this.

But I used to live in Europe and sex is EVERYWHERE. They are much more liberal about sex and SEEM to still have a healthy life style. Porno can be seen on basic television late at night for any kid to see, but I never hear about porno addiction over there.

Are the statistics on porn addiction the same in Europe as it is in the US? If it is the same, then why not more so?

Thanks for your time!
