We are born, we die, we evolve, we become extinct. There is no reason. We as humans have probably reached our final stage of eveloution like the dinosaurs did 65 million years ago. Unchecked global warming and plague will finally wipe us out. and the monkeys with us. But the end of humanity wont be the end of the world. A stronger species probably from the insect world maybe the cockroach will take over. Who knows in another hundred million years of eveloution they may have colonized other worlds in other solar systems. Wont it be grand if our cousins the cockroach make it?

God bless America? God only has the right to decide what the nation to bless!

media attention as the Jews did?
Wasn't the blood of the Russians as precious as the blood of the Jews?

Because on Thursday I lit a "7th day Candle"; Green for Health & anointed it with St.Jude Oil. It's Candle Magic. And well it's almost finishing. So I want to know if my prayer will be heard & If shall be healed, well that is I want to know when I will heal.
I must have faith & do, but I am slightly uncertain.
For those who are practitioners of Candle Magic specifically, do you think I did it right?

do you think that they're doing a good thing IF that lie causes an actual Muslim to convert to Christianity, OR are they doing a bad thing (lying about being ex-muslims) no matter what ?

I have heard many atheists speak of Santa... In sort of a brainwashing style our parents convinced us that there is a Santa, and this is how people believe religion...Because they are "brainwashed" since they were kids... However, a problem comes up...How did the first person in a religion become brainwashed? Or Maybe a better question, What made someone create religion?

So, basically 3 questions
1. How was religion started?
2. Why was religion started?
3. What Compelled someone to spread religion?

(christians, dont speak about Christianity only please..Please speak as Religion in General)

thanks much

Given the overwhelming evidence that the earth is absolutely older than 6,500 years old, Christians try to justify this by saying that a day in God's eye could be 1'000 years or longer. This is not possible! And this is why.

Adam was made on the sixth day (Genesis 1:26-31) which was supposedly thousand of years long. This was followed by the 7th day which was also thousands of years long. Following the 7th day, Adam fell into sin and was expelled from the Garden. This would mean Adam lived thousands of years, which is false, since he died at age 930 (Genesis 5:5).

Genesis 1:5 surely spoke of literal day and literal night, and the inference from the statement, “And the evening and the morning were the first day,” is that it was a literal day of evening and morning, 24-hours.

Hey everyone. I've been praying pretty much my whole life ever night before bed and it has changed for me every few years. That's because I find out later that I've been saying it wrong so I start saying the new one and than find out something else I was missing in it but anyways. I've seen the Lord's prayer and researched it and there are a few of them. They have a few extra or less lines than others or are tweaked by a few words or so but I want to know is there a main one that all of these are based on or not? I figured doesn't really matter since it's all the same in sense of its purpose but been bothering me. Anyone know? Thank you all for reading and God bless.

I continue to stalk you,
Though I don't understand why.
Perhaps it's because
Jeff Bridges is easy on the eye.
Maybe it's cause
Your sarcastic wit,
That brightens my day
Just a wee bit.
If you ever leave Answers,
I know I will cry,
Though I know it's because
You are off getting high.
When you return,
I'll sigh in relief.
Though I honestly wonder
If you have all your teef.
Since I've finished this poem
And I'm now burning like lava,
Will you come to Louisiana
And meet me for java?

OK, that's it. What do you all think?

Sin can't be allowed into Heaven, but I don't see any restrictions on it in Hell. Things like lustful orgies, pot, able to covet anyone's neighbor, triple chili cheeseburgers for breakfast.

Maybe weekdays in Heaven and Fri and Sat night in Hell is the ultimate afterlife?

if you found out that you had been decieved. That the devil created the bible and was having you worship him and that the real god wouldnt require worship or continuous praise. Think about it, you are continually asked to "convert" people to christianity. Why would a "real" god need this? I am being serious, it seems that the more I learn about the christian religion the more it seems "cult like".

Lately I cant' help but think there is no higher power in life. I've always heard things like "good deeds are rewarded and evil deeds are punished" but I'm convinced it doesn't matter either way. Currently I have no reason to believe in God. I like to think we are all in complete control of our lives. But to me, it seems everyone else catches breaks and I do not. I understand I'm not the only person in the world with problems, but I've seen many people in worse situations than me that still believe in God and I can't help but wonder, why? What are your thoughts?

What a concept!

What if "faith" isn't the most important thing at all. What if living as a humanitarian, loving your fellow man etc, is what God had in mind all along and he put forth scriptures as a test to weed out the bad people?

Isn't my version better? I can guarantee my version of Heaven would judge people based on their character and the content of their heart. Sorry Jeffrey Dahmer, you can't come to Heaven even if you've repented. Gandhi is also invited.
