Wouldn't that be what Jesus would do? Isn't that a selfless act?

it seems odd to attack a "non-belief" rather than attacking an opposing life-philosophy....

How do you discern which non exisitant beings are okay for your children to be exposed to? Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy are okay but Harry Potter and Gargamel (from the Smurfs) are not? How do you choose?

Matthew 19:12

Does this maybe correlate with Jesus' suggestion to pluck out your eye if it gives you problems?

And explain to me, just how would becoming a eunuch benefit the kingdom of heaven?

You who know the Bible really well, care to answer?

And that beliefs are primary basis of worth for people?

(And how does this affect their actions toward others, if at all?)

I, like Dr. King, dream of a day when everyone will judge eachother based on nothing more than the content of their character.

In Genesis 3:16 To the woman he said: “I shall greatly increase the pain of your pregnancy; in birth pangs you will bring forth children, and your craving will be for your husband, and he will dominate you.” God tells Eve he will INCREASE the pain of her pregnancy.
Which must mean that she would feel pain anways..only now that she sinned she will have the pain increased, right?
But if she was perfect..how could she feel pain?
Does anyone know what I am trying to ask?

Planet Mars being so close to the Earth in the next month will be a sign of anything to come. Experts are saying it will be able to be seen with the naked eye
According to computer models, in ancient times Earth and Mars had near fly-bys at multiples of 55 years. It was so regular and often so catastrophic that generals are said to have planned their battles around this. Maybe this is how Mars got named after the god of war. It's speculated that Mars caused Joshua's long day (Joshua 10), appearing in the morning sky 50 times the size of the moon on the day of his battle with the Amorite Kings
Earth and Mars are converging for a close encounter in December.

"As Earth races towards Mars, the telescopic views are becoming increasingly spectacular," says Petersen.
Maybe that Big Earthquake predicted in Indonesia?

Nothing is as easy as it looks.
To succeed in politics, it is often necessary to rise above your principles.
Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
Success always occurs in private, and failure in full view.
Two wrongs are only the beginning.
If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
Nothing is as easy as it looks.
Every solution breeds new problems..
If there is a worse time for something to go wrong, it will happen then..
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

Exceptions prove the rule ... and wreck the budget.
Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
It is impossible to make anything foolproof because fools are so ingenious.
If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the one to go wrong.
Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.
Trust everybody ... then cut the cards.
Whenever you set out to do something, something else must be done first.
Everything takes longer than you think..
Two wrongs are only the beginning.

I recently attended an assembly at a public school and watched in boredom while a prayer was led. Later on it kind of ticked me off because it is a direct violation of supreme court rulings on the first amendment. What personally do you believe and how do you reconcile your religious beliefs with the law of the land if you have to at all?

"The Roman Church firmly believes, professes, and proclaims that those not living within the Catholic Church, not only pagans, but also Jews and heretics and schismatics cannot become participants in eternal life, and that no one, whatever almsgiving he has practiced, even if he has shed blood for the name of Christ, can be saved, unless he has remained in the bosom and unity of the Catholic Church."

Don't go crazy. I don't mean in all cases. I'm just saying if people can choose to be cremated when they die, is it acceptable for them to choose to be eaten? Like right after they die? I know it sounds gross, but, if they don't mind, what's the moral problem?

A store that sells new husbands has opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates:
