and that all men preach to that one God in their own way. Are they wrong to think that way or are there many Gods. If there is just one God then why do so many religions despise each other.

I wonder, how many people, like myself, who was brainwashed by parents, teachers and various priests had the intelligence, tenacity and foresight to question their outrageous religious beliefs, brainwashed, until I was 16, and now I am strictly a non-believer and cannot understand how an intelligent person can even imagine there are gods who create miracles, and that man, Jesus, who actually thought he was the son of a god.
Question: Have you ever questioned what you were taught those many years ago? And how did it turn out?
No unprovable bible quotes, PLEASE!!

Coming to a theater near you -- the "Intelligent Design vs. Darwin" debate. The new movie Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed, starring Ben Stein, investigates the scientific and educational communities and how they deal with those who suggest that there might be some sort of intelligent design in nature
Producer Mark Mathis says the documentary uncovers a massive effort to silence those who disagree with evolutionary theory.
"The way that the academic elitist and the atheists constantly position this issue is that this is a science versus religion [debate]," he explains. "[They are saying] 'so you folks who have religious views, you have no place here in the real world of science' -- that's how they position it; and it's not true, that's not true. The folks who are doing research in this area of intelligent design are looking at, exclusively at, the science

Consumers are being ripped off by America’s big business. Prices in grocery stores are going crazy. Gasoline and heating oil is almost unaffordable. Cars are expensive; repairs are even more expensive. Things like garbage collection, telephone and TV service, are too high. Prices go up faster than wages. CEOs and stock holders are getting richer while most Americans are struggling to just get by. Many are cutting back on essentials so they can keep warm and have enough for the family to survive on. Isn't it time the consumers rebelled and made a national effort to force prices to a reasonable level? How would you suggest we do this? Possibly boycott stores, solicit as many people nation wide as possible to boycott one chain until it yields then take on another; distribute information on what stores seem to be ripping people off the most? Can we boycott a certain gas company nation wide until that company yields then take on another?

I've always thought organised religion was overall a bad thing, but this is just insane!
They refuse life-saving blood transfusions, yet they symbolically consume the blood and flesh of a person who's been dead for 2000 years!
Sheer madness.

The Comet brightens mysteriously by a factor of a million?

Since 23 October, it has brightened by a million times and now resembles a bright yellow star.
A yellow Star in Judasim is the Star of David stands as a reminder that for the Jewish people...IN GOD WE TRUST
The six points of the Star of David symbolize God's rule over the universe in all six directions: north, south, east, west, up and down.
"This is equivalent to the planet Saturn suddenly becoming as bright as the Full Moon," David Morrison, senior scientist at the NASA Astrobiology Institute in Moffett Field, California, US, wrote in an email newsletter.

Very often you tell us that we, bible-bashers, take scripture "out of context"....
What exactly does this mean? :
"Revelation 1: And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
2And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority."
Is this yet another metaphor that anyone can adapt to suit their purpose?
You keep telling us that "the Truth lies in the Bible"....so this seven-headed, ten-horned beast is supposed to actually exist? Or is it the subject of speculation?
....I never knew that "the Truth" could be subjected to speculation. BTW: I've heard countless interpretations (all different) of the verses above, from Christians.
Seems like "the path" has too many forks...

Whenever your kids are out of control, you can take comfort from the thought that even God's omnipotence did not extend to God's kids. After creating heaven and earth, God created Adam and Eve. And the first thing he said was, "Don't."
"Don't what?" Adam replied. "Don't eat the forbidden fruit," God said. Forbidden fruit? We got forbidden fruit? Hey, Eve...we got forbidden fruit!"
"No way!"
"Way!"
"Don't eat that fruit!" said God.
"Why?"
"Because I am your Father and I said so!" said God (wondering why he hadn't stopped after making the elephants). A few minutes later God saw his kids having an apple break and was angry. "Didn't I tell you not to eat the fruit?" God asked.
"Uh huh, " Adam replied.
"Then why did you?"
"I dunno" Eve answered.
"She started it!" Adam said.
"Did not!"
"Did too!"
"DID NOT!"
Having had it with the two of them, God's punishment was that Adam and Eve should have children of their own. Thus the pattern was set and it has never changed. If God had trouble handling children, what makes you think it would be a piece of cake for you?

We only have one life... and we (some of us) have to spend it doing something we hate? All my life I've hated school... I hate learning mathematics; I hate learning most parts of science; I can't remember history facts. Why should I care if I get a bad grade on a test? It's not the end of the world. And it won't determine my future. And I don't want my mother yelling at me about it and reminding me how well my older sister is doing. I know I want to be a Cultural Anthropologist and, poor grades or not, I'll be one and no one can stop me. I will do what I want to do - but I won't waste my time trying to get perfect grades in school. It's not for me - it's not my way of getting there and I wish others could understand that I won't conform to this method.

Psalms 40:6(7) for instance, "Sacrifice and meal offering You have not desired; My ears You have opened."
In many translations, in the footnotes there will be reference indicating that the Septuagint disagrees with "...my ears you have opened." Instead it translates, "...a body you have prepared for me."
There is zero similarity between the two verses. How can it be translated differently in the Septuagint and why????
