I'm always intrigued that many non believers will cry foul if they perceive they are being judged. And rightly so. And yet by professing morality, do you think they understand that by posting questions that specifically bait the answerer into either offering a sarcastic comment or remark, or which succeeds in raising the ire of those they call "fundies", that their professed morality can come then under question - and RIGHTLY so?
the answerers can be believers or non believers, liberal or "fundie". It doesn't matter. The person whose question it is has the obvious intent of mocking those with whom they disagree.... - doesn't this make them just as "fundie" as the "fundies"?
What are your thoughts?

I am wondering what the creation stories are in Judaism..

2007-10-30 15:51:07 · 7 answers · asked by Lorkenobre 1 in Religion & Spirituality

then why is it still only a THEORY? why not make it law? the same goes with the Big Bang, it is a THEORY, not law.
why wont people accept that? Creationism is also a theory, why cant people accept that? why must ppl be so condemning?

Sure, Christians do not accept evolutionists for their theory, but Christians doesnt have to. We believe through faith. However, the scientific community supposed to be based on actual evidence and science, not faith. So, they should stop saying that their's is the truth for something that is only a THEORY.

....you have to be offline for a bit, and you return to find that the person who gave a stupid, maybe even unkind answer to your question is the one who gets the ten points. Why on earth do people vote for those inane one liners?

To put it another way, are there any scientists left who agree with Einstein when he professed his belief that God does not play dice? I would also like to know if I am mistaken in assuming these two questions (one involving uncertainty and the other dice) are just different ways of asking the same thing? If my assumption is incorrect, what incorrect premise or premises might I be suffering from?

Hosea 9:14-16 (NIV) (the prophet prays to the LORD!!!...) Give them, O LORD— what will you give them? Give them wombs that miscarry and breasts that are dry. (And God rushes to answer him on the spot!!!) "Because of all their wickedness in Gilgal, I hated them there. Because of their sinful deeds, I will drive them out of my house. I will no longer love them; all their leaders are rebellious. Ephraim is blighted, their root is withered, they yield no fruit. Even if they bear children, I will slay their cherished offspring."

(God always answers our prayer no matter how spontaneous, if we ask him “according to his will”!)

Jeremiah 16:3-4 (NIV) For this is what the LORD says about the sons and daughters* (*babies) born in this land and about the women who are their mothers and the men who are their fathers: "They will die of deadly diseases. They will not be mourned or buried but will be like refuse lying on the ground...

Does God know the little children before they are born?

I know not all atheists are for this. But Is eriously believe there are groups here trying to bann religion altogether, it should be their right to have a religious funeral if the want, Veterans fight for their freedom to do so. I bet half the veterans would not have fought if they saw this coming. This is entirley un american and a disgrace

I'm pretty sure it says no such thing, though many of you tend to believe it does. Please don't cite Jeremiah 1:5, read in context it says nothing of the sort.

So where, oh where, in the bible does it say that life begins directly after the act of successful coitus?

I have this neighbor that lives underneath me. He plays his music really and it vibrates through the floor. It wouldn't be that bad except all you can hear is the bump bump from the base. I don't mind the music usually except every now and then he plays it at like one in the morning and wakes me up. He is normally drunk when he plays it so I wouldn't feel safe confronting him. He has a really nice girlfriend and a toddler. However, he is extremely rude.
Also, all the time I hear him yelling at his girlfriend calling her stupid and telling her she's a bad mother (which she is not). I'm not close friends with the girlfriend, but one or our other neighbors babysits the kid and I am close to them. The baby really likes me and is always running up to me. I feel bad for the girlfriend.
The guy is really mean he even threatened to kill my cat if it came near his kid. The baby loves cats and plays with mine when he isn't around. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with this?

cartoons, movies, music, clothes, toys, food, jewelry, etc. etc. all to keep us away from the truth. are we pawns in a chess game? is this how a human is meant to live? are we really free? do we really need all these material objects and worldly possessions? in life, especially for a human, all we need is love.

Okay so I'm going as an "Easy A" (the student who sleeps with all the teachers to get an A). So I need to fake a hickey...well...SEVERAL. Short of giving myself actual bruises (or getting guys to place hickeys on random body parts), how can I fake a hickey?? I don't have access to regular halloween makeup although I do have a ton of regular makeup and stage makeup.
