God cre8z The perfect place called EDEN but still that crafty devil found his way in and so ALL snakes must suffer by crawling on their bellies because God makes ALL PAY FOR sAtAns wrong. God the creator of everything will make me pay too because I despies his actions of suffering that I have witnessed while alive here on Earth. I see children starving. disease eat at Africa' and the world at WAR because GOD decided that some men are worthy of his LOVE while others are destined for Hell just because they HONORED THEIR MOTHER AND FATHER and followed the religion of their parents. But we THE CHOSEN CHILDREN have been blessed over ALL OTHERS because GOD decided WE ARE HIS CHOSEN CHILDREN! Too bad that the Christians feel this belief about a God that is too big a COWARD to appear before ALL of Mankind and SAVE the lost sould we share this world with. But In The Beginning God knew that sAtAn would turn and....(well he had to he's GOD!) so he took his wrath out on poor lil ol you and me! XO!

When you ask for proof of God's existence, and you want quantifiable testable evidence, don't you realize that this is a ridiculous request?

We believe in God, we believe he is an all powerful being. We believe he is super-natural, that is he exist outside of natural laws. No one that believes in God thinks there is proof of God, the only proof of God that we have is that in our hearts and mind we know he exist...and it is a good feeling. What you are asking for us to prove is impossible for humans to do. No human has the ability, despite how much knowledge they have, we just do not have the ability. The closest proof we have is personal revelation, which is non testable, but it is faith.

Let me ask you to prove something. I will give you a stick, a rock, and a magnifying glass. Using these objects, prove to me that quarks exist. I want evidence that will show me an actual quark.

Why do people insist on lumping everyone together who has disabilities like we are all the same?

People who are have low-vison are disabled and what they want, need to live their lives is entirely different than what people who have severe spinal cord injuries and have quadriplegia want, need to live their lives fully and that is entirely different than a person who has a cognitive disability wants. needs to live their life fully.

What is available to people with disabilities is also different is different countries, states, and cities - so be specific - so you can get information you can actually use.

If you need answers - ask a specific enough question so that a person can actually help you if they want to.

Is that really so hard?

Which statement has applied the principle of love in an interaction?

#1
If you are gay you are going to hell. I cannot be around you because you are such a sinner.

#2
Your personal life is none of my business. I may not agree with what you do but that is between you and whatever. I simply don't know why you keep bringing it up, it doesn't change the fact we're buds.
Anyhow, when are you AND your friend coming over for coffee?

Another example:

1 - You're an eh? When will you embrace the absolute truth? That is, what I understand to be the absolute truth. You can't possibly believe what you believe because it is all a lie! You're a sinner and I can't possibly hang out with you.

2 - Oh hey thanks for inviting me over for D&D/Movie/Coffee/etc. Cool! Yeah I got big old bag of dice. Hey thanks for sharing with about your beliefs. Those are interesting ideas. It interests me to know that others are as strong in their faith as I am in mine!

Because Jesus chose YOU and not them. Because they were born into the religion of their parents (just like you) but God created YOU with the ability to call yourself "Special" because YOU are SAVED AND THEY ARE NOT? Because Muslims Buddists Mormons and ALL OTHERS were not worthy of Christs Love and so he made their entry even more difficult than yourz because they will not know Jesus like you do and will not know Gods true Love because God in his Loving manner allowed them to be deceived just so that YOU know they are going to Hell while YOU and all your fellow Christians are blessed with eternal Glory and happiness while residing in Heaven knowing that the poor souls of those that JUST DIDNT KNOW Burn in torment. Isn't the Christian philosophy WONDeRFUL! WE ARE SO HAPPY we are going to heaven and TOO bad that ALL others BURN! But that is God's choice. EXCEPT FOR ONE THING. GOD CAST OUT HIS FAVORITE ANGEL. and sAtAn had to be a Christian because he KNEW YOU! Feeling a little crossed?

"Tonight we shall hurl the gauntlet of Science into the _________"?

This question simply asked in a philosophical way "How can we include science in our R/S questions and answers".

This question did not violate Community Guidelines in any way. Most of the people who answered this found it interesting and thought provoking.

Science and religion and spirituality are important factor of this R/S site.

Please tell me how this question was offensive except to someone who disdains "science".

You will probably find that the person who reported this as a violation was using two level one accounts and is no longer active, they have simply signed up two more accounts in order to unfairly and maliciously report other people.

If I get no response from you, I will send a copy to Jerry Chang, and ask him to "review" your appeal procedures.

I enjoy Yahoo and I know several of your sponsors are happy with my previous questions.

For some reason, evangelicals and/or fundamentalists (among others) consider it quite a feather in their caps to "convert" Catholics. Some even make it their primary mission, and there are any number of web sites quite seriously dedicated to just that.

But is it honest to take advantage of the average Catholic's inability to *articulate* their faith as well as a "Bible Christian", play on their emotions, and employ the same marketing techniques one would use to sell widgets?

That's exactly what is done. Whole seminars are given on techniques for "witnessing" to Catholics -- lifted straight from sales and marketing, and given a Biblical twist. My former denomination even had "campaigns" for bringing in new converts, and nabbing a Catholic got high-fives.

Does the end justify the means? Or is it just easier to sell someone on a different version of Christianity than to evangelize those who have never heard the Gospel at all?

Do you not see that malicious unfair Religious bigots have "in the name of God" convinced you to violate Jesus' theme:

Jesus' Theme: Harmony is harmony; disharmony is the only sin against God.

... and disharmony is a sin against your neighbor, and disharmony is a sin against yourself; and disharmony is a sin that will not allow you into Heaven.

Question: Will you repent and start following the advice of Jesus; instead of the advice of Religious Bigots?

On 20/20 last night there was a part about people protesting at funerals, especially soldier's funerals with signs saying God Hates You, Thank God For 9/11, etc. That's just not right! I think 20/20 said that they were going to get some time of punishment for doing this. If they're not going to be sent to jail for doing this, then they should! This is rude and disruptive to the people around them. What do you think?

I know that it's a biblical principle (so if you have some verses that would be great) but the church doesn't run on our money alone so what is the point? I don't make very much money and I am tempted to not tithe sometimes because I don't feel like there is a point to it.

Imagine I show you a coconut, and make the claim that inside the coconut there is a liquid fluid which is drinkable.

At this point you can believe me or not. We can discuss forever whether there is a drinkable liquid fluid in the coconut or not. This is the point where religion is residing, putting faith in the existance or not.

Science takes a step further, investigates, and chops the coconut on the middle and provides you with the evidence of the first claim directly into your hands.

Religion offers an thought/speculation only, which cannot be verified nor tested. (Belief/Faith)
Science offers a evidence, which can be verified and tested.(Fact/Knowledge)

Would you agree, that this is the difference between religion and science?

Would you also agree that the one making a claim, should also be the one providing the evidence to sustain the claim?

NOTE: This is NOT to bash Christians!!!!

I have several. The washer turns about 50 percent of the clothes wrong side out (and it seems the dryer does it to the other 50 percent!).

My favorite machine is the electric drill/screwdriver, but I keep forgetting to flip the switch when I change functions.

And then there's always the PC. 'Nuff said.
