My mom was telling me about this. She said that in the Revelations section it said something about how people will get something inserted into/onto(?) their hand, and it will be the Mark of the Beast. And now...recently people are getting chips inserted into their hands (credit card info, health info). This is also tying into when Jesus was supposed to come back to Earth...(She said it's believed to be 2000 years after his death, but it's said that the prediction is possible to be a few years off.) AND...The Mayan calendar said that the world is supposed to end 12/21/12...I don't know how well I explained this...But does this not fit so well together??

Disclaimer;; I am not actually Christian anymore so I don't know how accurate this information is. :)

Seriously, what's up with this purgatory the Catholic Church tries to feed people? I mean, I'm not Catholic, I'm a Protestant, but I got to Catholic High School, and went to Catholic grade school, and they've fed me some bullcrap about purgatory. Now, no where in the Bible does it mention purgatory. I believe it as "You either go to Heaven, or you go to hell." That's it. Simple as that. There's no need for purgatory. Sure, having people pray for your soul is nice, but I don't think it really affects where you go after you die.

I remember a site that showed on verse on the screen at a time, in 5 or 6 different (english) translations... Does anyone know what this site's name is or of a similar site? I've found a few that do side-by-side comparisons of 2 or 3 translations but nothing quite as extensive as the one I remember.

When its all said and done:
Will the Good caused by religion outweigh the Bad? or
Will the Bad far overshadow any Good?

Commonsense affirms that a child born into a Christian family to totally Christian parents is to be taken as a Christian. Then why all these Christianity rituals by sinful humans to enlist one into Christianity? Justifications can be many! But one can reasonably assume that God at the stage of creation does not distinguish between His creations and is infallible so that worldly humans can bestow an identity of their choice to God’s creations. Why this passport to Christianity and why be cruel to Children in Christianity by drenching them in man made holy water? Blind faith and rituals bind our World to remain in Stone Age as religions are concerned.

"The Bible says that children who have not yet reached the "age of accountability" ARE SAVED."

It does not say anything of the sort.

Leviticus 5:17 If a person sins and does what is forbidden in any of the LORD's commands, even though he does not know it, he is guilty and will be held responsible.

All right. Why do we Christians seem to think that we will go to hell if we commit suicide. I understand it is murder, but still. If God forgives all sins, no matter what they are, why would we go to hell because of that? I'm just wondering. It's been bothering me for a while.

I’m thinking of visiting various parts of the Middle East, and, should the climate of Medina not agree with me, I think I should be prepared, and have some trusty camel urine ready as a cure (in keeping with the directives of the Prophet of Allah [PBUH]). So, where do I find camel urine? Thanks so much!

Bukhari:V7B71N590 "The climate of Medina did not suit some people so the Prophet ordered them to drink camel urine as a medicine."

In the past 100 years more than 100 million people died in bloody wars, not to mention those who died of starvation.
Where was God? Watching football?
If God is inside us then how come that we kill each other? Aren't we killing God as well?
And I thought that God was invincible.
Silly ignorant me.

It seems to happen a lot. You're walking into a supermarket (or some other retail store), and some old guy just lets one go, then turns to stare at you. So how do you react?

Or Mc Donalds bags at the LaBrea tar pits? Doesn't this prove man walked the earth with dinosaurs? and that man was on top of k-2 with innnertubes during the great flood?

Seriously I got through Genesis and I have like 30 questions just from that. This is my second time to read and heck I have more questions that I probably did in the first reading.
I am not trying to mock anyone's beliefs but I don't understand how anyone could believe all that is written.
Those who believe do you ever have those seemingly silly questions like:
1) Did Adam and Eve have belly buttons?
2) Why wasn't Cain's fruit as good as Abel's flock in God's eyes?
3) Where did Cain and Abel get thier wives?
4) Why did God regret his decision to create man if he knew that later on man would disappoint god anyway.
5) The Great Flood was considered a fresh start for man, yet Original sin stuck?
I really could go on and on...

They seem like silly questions but they are questions that deserve answers to right?
