stills throws a party on Halloween DAY but calls it something else like: Hallelujah Night or Harvest Festival?
They still encourage "dressing-up" in customs and giving out candy (all the same things done on Halloween) and all done on the day of the dead, just called by a different name to justify it.
Is this happing in your church and if so how do you feel about it?

Evolutionists believe in something called abiogenesis. Basically, this means that all life originally came from a combination of rocks and chemicals. My question is this, a dog and a cat cannot have a Kuppy, so how can a rock and a chemical produce a child together? Moreover, seeing as how they cannot move, how could they possible have done the deed to procreate?
Abiogenesis relies on rocks and chemicals being in the right condition, and we have not been able to get rocks and chemicals to breed even once since we first thought this theory up. Why then do we believe in this? Isn't it obvious that Rocks and Chemicals, like Dogs and Cats cannot have babies, and their babies would definitely look more like rocks and chemicals than tiny microscopic organisms, wouldn't they? Why do we not have a rocky coating? Surely, that ancestor of ours, the rock, has some very interesting survival devices. Why did these strengths not get passed down?
This again proves that evolutionarianism 100% wrong.

I was just wondering if there was ever any reasoning that is against homosexuality that doesn't come from religious beliefs.

Have you heard any?

Despite reading several books that explained the Big Bang theory, the only place I've ever seen the claim made that "something came from nothing" was in Genesis.

Yet, creationists always say that The Big Bang theory is wrong because it claims that "something came from nothing."

What part of the Big Bang Theory says that something came from nothing?

I'd prefer answers with citations. That would allow me to read for myself where the Big Bang theory makes the claim.

I'm asking this in R&S because the people in the science section can't find the claim anywhere in Big Bang literature either.

Does this make it more true, if there are other fools believing in it too. One stage further is forcing them to believe.

All of us are born accidentlly - that is - the result or an end product of an amorous lust between a man and a woman. After being born we became elders, discharged our duties and responsibilities and brought up our kids with a cherished dream that they will take care of us at the fag end of our lives. We also gave our luxuries /ambitions/personal likes because we wanted our kids to live happily and get whatever that was denied to us. Look at what happened - the kids grew up, left for green pastures and left us high and dry. Syndrome is natural. I am finding it difficult to even go to the loo because my kids are not around to help me. What says U?

Everyday when you go to work, your boss is mad at you. You screwed up once. He gave you a second chance, but he's not going to let it happen again. More importantly, he gave you a second chance. Everytime you screw up, your family, friends, other people, give you a second chance. But God does not. You don't beleive in him, he sends you to hell. So why are humans more forgiving? Does this mean they are better? Kinder? More loving? How? How is this possible?

Note: This is not an attack. I've posted several questions about Christians faith, but it really is how you read it. Try and read it with an inquiring tone, not attacking.

SaNtA ... SaTaN

Santa meaning 'saint'

Santa appears to be good, but inside is ready to destroy those who don't beleive in him or rebel.

Santa comes down a chimney. If you remembered and trusted in Santa clause. And put out the flame in the chimney (put out the flames in your life by becoming an obedient child) then you get a reward!

But if you were bad, didn't believe in Santa, left the flame in the fire place, then Santa (SATAN) comes down the chimney in the flame! You get nothing but coal from the fireplace!

OPPOSITES!

God = Dog.

A dog loves unconditionally! SO GOD IS THE OPPOSITE OF UNCONDITIONAL LOVE!

Santa = Satan
God

Gifts from hell:
internet: www. = 666
W = 2x3=6.
W = 2x3 =6.
W = 2x3 = 6.
People from hell:
Bill Gates:
2+9 +11+ 11 (Bill)
9 - 2 = 7
7 +11 = 18
18 - 11 = 7!!!
OPPOSITE OF 7 would be 6!!!
7 representing GOOD
6 representing BAD!!!
BUT BILL changed around would come to be 6! THE NUMBER OF MAN!!!
GATES = GATES OF HELL!!!

Im writing a paper about how science and religion should be able to co-exist using beowulf and Angels and Demons as examples. I already have the reasons for beowulf but i was wondering if anyone knew passages in angels and demons talking about how religion and science work together instead of contradicting each other. Or does anyone have their own personal opinions. Im open for any. Mainly for the affirmative of this argument but i will also explore the negative. So im open to all opinions

Seems to me that there a lot of theists on this Q & A section?
A lot of them say they are trying to enlighten everyone else. Hey it's America. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion but there is no need to trash people for their lack of beliefs. Opinions are welcome but go to a different subject topic if all you want is to belittle people for their lack of beliefs
