Let me preface this post by stating that I am a believer. Would you agree God needs satan? Where else would God send all the sinners and non-believers? Isn't satan, to a degree ,God's warden over hell? Does this make them cohorts? Satan needs souls and God is the provider, right? Without God, Satan would be out of business? Without satan ,God can't punish his creation. Does this really make sense?

What if theres nothing after we die?

I still believe in God, and I still have faith in Him, I just catch myself thinking about that every so often.

And no matter what, whats the harm in living a good lifestyle?

Theres nothing to loose, but if you choose to not believe in God but it is true then you've lost a lot.

If so, I can't imagine how they explain fish that can live on land and breathe through their skin instead of their gills.

Yet another nail in the creationist coffin:

A tropical fish that lives in mangrove swamps across the Americas can survive out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.

The Mangrove Rivulus, a type of small tropical killifish, seeks refuge in shallow pools of water in crab burrows, coconut shells or even old beer cans in the tropical mangrove swamps of Belize, the United States and Brazil.

When their habitat dries up, they live on the land in logs, said Scott Taylor, a researcher at the Brevard County Environmentally Endangered Lands Program in central Florida.

They group together in logs hollowed out by insects and breathe air through their skin instead of their gills until they can find water again.

" Behold, He is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes pf tje earth will mourn over Him. Even so. Amen. "
( NASB )

The JWs argue that just as an airplane in the clouds is invisible to people on the earth, so is Christ's coming "with the clouds " means the event is invisible. Only those with " eyes of understading" will perceive that his coming has taken place in 1914. ( Reasoning from the Scriptures 1989, 343 )

I read many times on RandS people who ask how God could have created Satan, Adam, ( knowing he would sin), etc. and basically are trying to say that God is the author of evil. But... could you make an argument that says that evil has always existed (or the potential to commit evil acts) and therefore God could not have created it if they have always coexisted? Could this explain how Satan was able to rebel and take 1/3 of the angels with him?

My family has been going through a storm. My dad, who was like a best friend to me, is in jail and Ive been trying so hard to lean on God through this. But its been really hard. I used to go to our church youth group every wednesday night, but starting the day before he went to jail [which was a wednesday] i havent been going {which is when i do praise & worship and listen to someone talking since i work with kids on sunday mornings.}. but I went tonight [wednesday]. And I could feel God's presence there during praise and worship, but im still having a hard time leaning on God. Help please! <3

What are some reasons?

Just born into it?
You think it is more correct? If yes, why?
Your parents made you do it?
Other religions are stupid? If yes, how is yours not stupid too?

Here in our little corner of the world, nativity scenes had been the focal point in a downtown park since time began, almost ! About five years ago, those who placed the nativities were forced to abandon this tradition, forced by a small minority of anti-religious people. Silly, since the nativity is what Christmas is all about. This year a group of citizens, at their own expense, put up a large nativity scene downtown, with the mayor's permission, and with the advice and permission of the city attorney. Now there is some real hatred going on over this innocuous nativity. Folks who hate it are in the minority, but vocal in their hatred and animosity, and demanding it be taken down. What is this, folks ??? Anyone and everyone of 'other religions' are welcome to put their own symbols and stuff there too, but they do not want to do this, no, they want to persecute the Christians by stubbornly making a big fuss over this. Are other communities having this fight? What do you think?

Have you ever read a religious FAQ? It always promises to answer your deepest spiritual questions. Then all the questions listed are really weak and lame with idiotic answers. Do you think the writers of religious FAQs should take a looks at the Yahoo! Answers R&S board to get an idea of what questions people are really asking? Do you think the questions here would be too hard for them?

What were they trying to hide? Do you think that they revelations that christians will be shocked to know? Do you think that they contain revelations that will be hard for christians to swallow?

because they have been posted 8000 times before and always get the same answers?

Here are a few of mine:
What proof is there that God exists?
What proof is there that God does not exist?
What proof is there of evolution?
What proof is there that God did not create the universe?
Christians: Have you (insert odd Biblical requirement from Old Testament) ?
Atheists: Do you know your going to burn in Hell?

The list could just go on and on...
