Does it bother you when other people say they will pray for you? Or try to convert you?

If medical experts can't save the limbs of an individual, will a god restore that person's limbs if the person prays and has faith, or is that person most likely stuck having to live without their natural limbs, hoping that medical experts can give them mechanical replacement limbs?

without the Lord. How can anybody make it in this life without Christ?
I would have lost my mind and be overwhelmed with the issues of life without someone higher than myself to guide and direct me. Humans are a cheap substitute because they go through the same things I do and don't have all the answers to lifes problems

1- Isaiah 40:22 is claiming that the Earth is a flat circle.

2- Isaiah 40:22 is claiming that the Earth has a circle above it.

If we were to take condition #1, then we are left with a clear and irrefutable contradiction between Isaiah 40:22 and some of the other bible verses , because a flat circle doesn't have "four corners", and ironically in either case, we still have a scientifically false claim about the Earth's shape.

IF we were to take condition #2, then it doesn't prove that the Earth is an egg-shaped figure, and Isaiah 40:22 surely becomes irrelevant to this subject.

One thing is for sure clear, and that is Isaiah 40:22 is obviously ambiguous and not clear if we wish to prove from it that the Earth is not flat and is egg-shaped. If we look at what the entire Bible says (as presented above by all the Verses) about the shape of the Earth as the Roman Catholic Church did in the past, then we would reach the same conclusion they reached, and that is: The Earth is Flat!

Isaiah 11:12
12 And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH. (KJV)

Revelation 7:1
1 And after these things I saw four angels standing on FOUR CORNERS OF THE EARTH, holding the four winds of the earth, that the wind should not blow on the earth, nor on the sea, nor on any tree. (KJV)

Job 38:13
13 That it might take hold of the ENDS OF THE EARTH, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? (KJV)

Jeremiah 16:19
19 O LORD, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit. (KJV)

Daniel 4:11
11 The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the ENDS OF ALL THE EARTH: (KJV)

Matthew 4:8
8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; (KJV)

So would you say that the bible says the earth is flat based on these verses.

[Atheists, Christians, i ask that you respectfully refrain from commenting. I have already identified the target audience and it is not inclusive of yourselves. I know some of you feel the need to speak in a pejorative manner either insulting their intelligence or morals. I would ask for restraint this time.]

A simple question. Usually in the debate over the ontological existence of god(s), the Flying Spaghetti Monster is invoked as a symbol of the unreasonableness of both faith and agnosticism.

One of my own agnostic friends usually tends to dismiss the objection via "Argument ad Absurdum" - and chalks it up as a grandstanding/psychological tactic.

I just wanted to get all of your takes on this - ie: Why hasn't the FSM idea moved you away from Agnosticism?

On a person note: I'm not invested in the matter either way, just curious as to what the responses would be like.

Why have we as people let our government, tell what we can say and not say?
Why are we as people afraid to say what we feel?
Do we have a right to express ourselfs, or not?
Black people are making a big deal out of nothing.
What makes them so special. Why are they so negative about. what others may say?
Is it because they are black, and they feel they have a right.
To tell white people or any other race. What they can say and not say?
What makes it alright for them to take away our freedom of speech.
But yet they turn around, and say things about white people, or some other race?
I think we should get together, and stop letting the government, take away our basic rights. But i have found people or so afraid. because they might get thrown in jail. Or they may offend someone.
Why are the people of america.
So afraid to stand up to their own government. When it is the government. that is doing this to us.
I think its time for another revolution

If you have faith in your deities, will they cure you of any ailment without the intervention of humans, or do they have to work through humans and their capacity to heal is limited by the medical staff available?

Seriously, I was reading this thing about how the government is concerened that people dont have any money to shop so tehy wont make enough money in sales tax revenue. Wouldnt it make sense for us ALL to not buy in to the hype of buying stuff that you dont need, lets face it if you dont get everything you wnat for xmas, you wont die, will you? Think of all the stuff that is getting recalled from china, dont you think there will be more? And we are supposed to give it to our kids? Tainted with e-coli cheeses and sausages taht you give in a gift basket?

The date: about 1957. The place, NYC, at a party full of sophisticated atheists and artsy NY bohemians.

The antagonist: Flannery O'Connor. A wisp of a young woman, Roman Catholic from the US deep south (Georgia), who would go on to write some of the most interesting and stirring fiction of the 20th century.

The scene: Knowing she was a fiercely Catholic believer, the other members of the party started discussing the Eucharist. They all agreed that it was a pretty good symbol of sacrafice and love.

Sweet-looking, demure little Flannery answers them with 10 words: If it's a symbol, then to hell with it.

What do you think she meant?

I send cards that say Happy Holidays to the people I know who celebrate multiple holidays in December...which is all the people with a holiday in December who I know.
Since I have friends and relatives who are Jewish, Pagan and other, I usually buy cards that say something like "May your holiday season be full of warmth and comfort" rather than "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year" and "Happy Yule and Happy New Year" or "Joyous Saturnalia, Happy Yule, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"
Rather than get a card each for each of the religious people in my family, I buy one package, and the profits benefit cancer research...
Here's this years:

If you were on my list, would you be OFFENDED that I did not buy you a card with Christmas in it and would you expect one for Christmas and ANOTHER for New Year's or am I supposed to hope you have a crummy New Year?

Genesis 8:21 ~ "And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth ; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done."

Is that an admission of a mistake?
Did God reconsider his own initial judgement and change his mind?

More to the point.... given the various tsunamis, volcanoes, earthquakes, hurricanes and the like since..... causing the death of countless millions of people..... was God lying when he said he wouldn't do it again? Did he realise that his decision NOT to do it again was a mistake? Did he forget?
