Why does everyone have to fit in a stereotype?
Why do the people have to be separated by race?
Was the word "race" made up to categorize people?
Why cant we just be one people?
Why does race always come up in situations besides the point?
Is there really something making people continue to be racist instead of uniting and rising above ignorance?
Why does race have to even be an issue?

Why would God, make a planet, make the people, kill them all but a few, say he will never do it again, and then have the book of revelation? Is he not strong enough to keep satan and his anti christ from rising up and destroying the world. Why does this all seem like a staged up war? Furthermore, why does he let satan influence us in our daily lives? If he is all powerful, why did he have to have a war in heaven with satan and his followers, who did not have free will, but some how chose to go against him. Just asking, for an all powerful entity, he seems like he has had a hard time keeping it all in order.

In the verses below we are told scripture can perfect us for every good work. So we can be prepared for every good work by scripture. Not some good works but every good work. So if the Bible can prepare us for every good work why do we need more? And before you say this was written before the NT was finished or the Bible compiled. Remember God is omnipotent and omniscient. He knew the Bible would be compiled and what would be in it. Thus when He inspired this verse He knew we would have the Bible and apply it to it. So my question is if the Bible equips us for every good work as it says it does why do we need more?

2Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
2Ti 3:17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

just as physicists have determined the half lives of all the elements, can we assume there's is such a thing as a millionth life for each element as well? and would that mean that 500,000 millionth lives is equal to that of one half life? certainly, it would be much easier to measure a millionth life for an element whose half life is on the order of millions of years.

What Hitler did (quickly) to the Jews, God promises to do to most of us for all eternity.

So how is God not evil?

I'd prefer this not becoming a political discussion nor liberal/conservative bashing. I'd be interested in your realistic assessment of his abilities and what job he would be working at today.

My friend and his family (wife and 2 daughters) flew to Mexico for a holiday. On the trip back, the plane experienced some sort of shut down and the turbulence was so bad the plane dropped as in free-fall for nearly one minute... My friend said everyone on the plane was screaming and the flight attendants looked "terrified". Eventually the plane got back to normal and they landed safely.

Now my friend and his family are VERY religious people...

Anyway, upon telling us the storey, my friend said after they landed and were in the airport his younger daughter told him the plane was saved by God. Because God did not want them to die... My friend was rather proud to share that part with us...

I told my friend: So God saved your plane (200 - 300 lives), but the same God let a million innocent die in Rowanda... what kind of God would do that??? My friend could not come up with any reply...

Anyway this is the kind of BS blind, gullible, believers, believe in....!

I am making a film about a preist and Catholiscism. I dont believe in God and i really dont believe in organized religion. But i have met so many good people trying to help others within religious circles i feel compeled to write about it. Im interested in the imagery of religion and how people use it in the context of the modern world.
Im scared to write it incase i slate religion by accident. can people give me some thoughts on these questions:
(please dont preach to me - you wont change my personal beleifs)

1. if you believe in God (christian)
what good is it to modern society? Do you genuinly think praying is as powerful as physically helping someone?

2. if you dont believe_
is there anything wrong with beleiving in God? Do you think there is anyway religion could help modern society?
