Seriously how come? You can be against abortion (which i am to but to each your own) yet in the bible you are to stone your children for being rebelious (sp?)

Opinions are more than welcome. Especially if they are funny and will skew my research.

From my understanding, the Pascal's Wage has the assumption that god rewards faith in him. But, is there a similiar Pascal's Wage that has the assumption that god rewards being good instead of having faith?

Assuming that there is a god, and that he does reward being good, I would say atheists are pretty much in the clear, while christians are the ones who will get screwed.

Most people in life at one time or another think "what is the meaning of life?" people find some sort of answer to it. eg religion, possessions, relationships, friendships, books, nature music travel etc.
the search for meaning often involves doing many things- many people travel, or go on pilgrimages, some religions require it at least once, eg the muslims go to mecca.

in life there are many barriers to it, eg work, religion holding you back(-if you dont agree with its teaching for example). the media, relationships etc
and then some people never find meaning in life..


basically i was wondering what helps you as a human being to search -or find the meaning in life for you, and what the barriers to searching for meaning are for YOU?
i asked a question similar to this a few minutes ago but really didnt find what i was looking for: http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlA2UaNDljpa0F9_7gOQbBkgBgx.;_ylv=3?qid=20071124095355AAl5E5p

When people believe in God and heaven - they tell their kids that the person who transitioned "went to heaven" - or is with God. And many will go on to say things like, "He's with grandpa now." Whether it's true or not it's comforting. And I'm sure the parents are not intentionally lying to their kids.

What do Atheist parents tell their children to comfort them when somebody dies - especially somebody young? How do the children react?

This question is not asked in a "prove yourself" kind of way. I do believe in God - but I believe God to be LOVE. The power of love. It's not a big Daddy in the sky - and It doesn't grant wishes or judge us. Actually It doesn't DO anything. It's just there and we can chose to use it or not. I don't believe in hell - and recently - I've started to wonder WHY I believe in heaven. I'm thinking mostly because it's a comforting thought. Easier - ego stroking - comforting. Hmmmm.

According to most bible scholars the abomination of desolation spoken of by the prophet Daniel occurred in the first century. According to Jesus, when the abomination of desolation is seen standing in the holy place people should flee to the mountains because there will be tribulation such as the world has never seen or will ever see again.

If the greatest tribulation the world has ever seen is still to come even though the abomination of desolation took place in the first century then Jesus was wrong about the tribulation he said would be on the earth when the abomination of desolation is seen standing in the holy place. Is Jesus wrong or are most Bible scholars wrong?

Matthew 24:14-21 (King James Version)
King James Version (KJV)
Public Domain



14And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.

15When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)

16Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains:

17Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house:

18Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes.

19And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days!

20But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day:

21For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.

I have heard of Christians who think they can be BOTH Muslims AND Christian. Is that possible?

I don't think the gap can be closed today, but can we look forward to a brighter day, when those who love the living GOD will be brothers?

I am not sure how we can unite, but "what is impossible with man" IS POSSIBLE, WITH GOD!

Can't personkind live together as brothers???

When you do laundry and there are precisely 18 pairs of socks and only 17 and a half come out does God tke them? ( I leterally have taken washing machines apart looking for them and they never reappear in the house.) If he does take them is it so the angels can have sock puppet shows? That's what my little girl thinks. Do you agree?
