...and remember, Jesus could judge because he was the Christ, but turning tables over and whipping hypocrites is not in your cards.

Are you more loving or legalistic on Y!A R&S?

This question is mainly for those who already believe in an afterlife and for those who perhaps believe that animals or other organisms have an afterlife besides Humans. If the consciousness is immortal just as Near Death Exp research suggests, (I am aware that it may just be the process of the dying brain, however for arguments sake lets discuss the alternative), and a cloned animal/human is conscious through man made manipulation, which assumingly means the cloned animal does not have an afterlife...do you think that the fact that a conscious cloned animal discredits a naturalistic conscious animal from the possiblity of an afterlife? What logic would you use to conclude that a natural animal still has an afterlife even if a cloned animal can replicate naturalistic living. I would presume that if there is an afterlife it can't just be an immortal consciousness we and/or animals possess if cloning is possible. So there would have to be some sort of difference, both will possess energy and consciousness. I am aware that the question can be spun and turned back on its asker in many areas especially involving what is truly "consciousness" or utilizing God within religions, etc etc. So please just try to answer the question the best you can by staying with the core of the question. I apologize if the question appears scattered and not fully clear.

Like if you read the bible, a sane person would be like there is no way possible that could happen, only in a movie, but yet, so many people believe the Bible, but if the news were to say something of the sort not related to God, we'd be like, that is so fake!

He made angels and man, and they both screwed up. Third time lucky, or is he afraid of failing to design the "perfect" being?

Or can't he do it again?

As a staunch skeptic, I find the notion of anything supernatural, from God to crystal healing to the existence of the human soul, likely to be based on human whim, rather than actually existing. Recently a friend of mine (who is definitely skeptical of the existence of a god but believes fully in ghosts) posited this question to me: given that the human body operates by electrical impulses, and as per the laws of thermodynamics energy can't be created or destroyed; thus, the electrical energy must "live on" as a ghost.

I see this particular argument being offered all the time for the existence of ghosts; how does one refute this? What does happen to the electrical energy, anyway?

Now they make them so you can`t cut the bottoms off and take off the labels and rinse them out and flatten. Did not mind doing all that and they took up so little space that way.

Is this like saying, "I'm not a Muslim, I just believe the Quran is the word of God"?

Or "I'm not a student, I'm just enrolled in school and taking classes"?

I wouldn't normally ask this kind of question, because I can already second-guess half of the answers it's going to get.
But let's face facts here, shall we?

I focus on Christianity and Paganism (generalised, not being specific to either) when I ask this question. Your faiths are generally meant to be accepting of other faiths. Why is it then, that some of us (in both faiths! I'm not just bashing one) feel like we must argue with the other?

It would seem to me that some people fail to realise tolerant does NOT mean "You must accept what they believe and believe it too" nor does it mean "You can argue with them about how wrong you think their faith is because your faith is older/better/more popular". Tolerant means that we should accept that people will believe what they believe, and we have no right to say their believes are wrong. You have NO WAY to justify such an argument. If you do argue like this, you are a hypocrit. I dare you to say that you are otherwise.

In the 1400 "God" was created to make everyone scared to think out side the box, and to not break the laws that were being made by the government. They made the story of the man in the sky so if anyone anywhere says anything bad about him or the ruler he will strick down on you and kill you. Which didnt happen. People would rat on you for talking so they wouldnt go to "made up hell" and then the government would personally chop off your head. So we all know there is no god, and yet everyone makes up there own god so they have something to look forward to after working and having children. When in the real world you live then die and only go 6 feet under, its nice to think theres more but there isnt. So why do people go insane about the made up man in the sky?

Each day I come in, surf the net and do nothing. My boss is well aware of this but has nothing for me to do. Our company is merging with another next year and the redundancy word is being used a lot - I desperately want to move on but fear if I jump too soon I'll miss out - I've been in this job 10 years so the package would be good. If I suggest working shorter hours for a while then my boss will cut my pay, I could work from home but he's too scared to put it to his boss... I've even directly asked for the big R, but he just laughs it off... the merge is next spring, when do you think we will start hearing about redundancies ? or is my situation more complex - other people are still busy it's just that my boss has lost control of various duties and now is doing about 20% of the work he used to do, as I'm his PA it leaves me with zilch to do each day. which sounds great but is very soul destroying. HELP !
