Adam added to God's law by telling Eve not to touch the fruit or she would die but God had only said not to eat it. This made Eve believe it was all a lie when she touched the fruit and did not die.

If we, the atheists, are right, then this life is all we have. There is nothing more to come. This life, these hours, are your only opportunity to experience your existence-- to experience joy, love, art, pleasure, happiness. Therefore, every wasted hour, every hour spent in chasing an illusion, a phantom, means that some of your precious grains of sand have been stolen from your hourglass and tossed away. You have, in a sense, shortened your life-- the only existence you will ever know.

Every hour you have read a bible, sat in a pew, engaged in intolerant condemnation based upon biblical laws, went door-to-door trying to convince someone else of your delusion, or contrived outlandish explanations for religious absurdities, you have squandered away the irreplaceable hours of your life, and they can never be reclaimed. You have wasted your one and only life wrapped up in a mythology that never was. How sad this is. I actually pity people who have been so deceived.

My friend goes to an Apostolic Church and the problem is when they all get to speaking in tongues no one can hear the Pastor. The Pastor encourages people to speak in tongues as often as they can, claiming that he probably does it more than any other single church member. He is just asking that they do it quietly. How do you control the Holy Spirit's volume? This is a real situation and a serious question. Thanks for your help.

How would you react or treat someone who knowingly cheats with married men?

You should! It's a great way to count down to Christmas for the little ones. Most of them also give the kids a little gift every day which builds the excitement until Christmas comes, and if you are a Christian, many tell the story of Jesus's birth. They are really cool!

I follow the christian religion but am very confused by the reference of God, Lord and Jesus. The way I understand it is Jesus is God's son. Lord is just another name that is used to refer to God and Jesus. But I'm pretty sure that we are supposed to only worship God otherwise it is considered idoltry. Why do we worship Jesus if in fact it is really God that gave Jesus his abilities to heal and be resurrected from the dead. I am confused.

Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Would you prefer to be chased or do the chasing? If you know the woman is interested are you more likely to be interested or is the thrill of the hunt way better than the gauranteed kill?

You don't see Native Americans or Aborigines running around the world trying to claim land that's not theirs and killing the inhabitants who resist; neither do you see them building atomic bombs. In fact, it was brutes like Columbus, John Smith, the Pilgrims, Cortez, Pizarro and the like that savagely murdered millions as they greedily sought gold and land, wasn't it? It was your great-great-great-great-grand pappies.

Is there any online tool that i can just input the English and/or Gaelic text into and have it spoken to me in Gaelic?

I admire that you want creationism to be taught as Science.

Welcome to Science's playground. Now, biblical verses won't count.

I assume you know the basics of high school Biology.

You need logical arguments to debate/discuss. To start with very simple question, can you please refute endogenous retrogene insertions, Scientifically?

Endogenous retrogene insertions are molecular remnants of a past parasitic viral infection. Occasionally, copies of a retrovirus genome are found in its host's genome, and these retroviral gene copies are called endogenous retroviral sequences. Retroviruses, like HIV, make a DNA copy of their own viral genome and insert it into their host's genome. If this happens to a germ line cell (i.e. the sperm or egg cells) the retroviral DNA will be inherited by descendants of the host.

This process is rare and fairly random, so finding retrogenes in identical chromosomal positions of two different species indicates common ancestry.

Be kind, kids.

Meaning, which one do you have a hard time comprehending, understanding, etc. (Aside from the scriptures in the Book of Revelation). This isn't the same as believing or agreeing with it.

Atheists, DON'T ANSWER (Hahaha. j/k - All are welcome, of course)

N.B. Please try to avoid comparing with other scriptures, as I want to find one single scripture that is generally difficult to understand.

What's the deal. Shut up and wait until I finish talking. And servers in restaurants. Nobody writes the order down. Half the time they get the order wrong. I will order the simplest things and they will screw it up. You have to fight to get what you what. They won't just shut up, listen to what you what, and bring you what they say. They wanna "take charge," push the order so they can save 2 seconds, and then mess everything up and get it wrong. We have a service based economy, run by people who have no concept of how to serve others. Or am I am just foolish to think that competent, intelligent people take those kind of jobs? Is it just that people who have their act together don't take service industry jobs? Is that it?

My neighbour, I will call him Bubba, weighs a good 450 lbs. The other day, I saw him and his family get into their car to go to Church, I know they were going to Church because they had their bibles with them, and when they all got in the car, I think I felt a slight tilt in the earth's axis. Now, I don't care if they are overweight, I don't care that the back of his neck looks like a package of Oscar Mayer weiners. But, it got me to thinking about Jesus, and Jesus said "I am fishing for men". Well, I have busted a few lines in the water on some pretty small bass, and I was wondering what kind of test line would Jesus have used for Bubba?

Those beheading videos are not part of the 'media.' They're just viral videos and there's literally a new one every day. I mean if you can find other people who chant "God is great" as they murder their victims it's not an Islam problem after all.

I will go to the post office. The line is very long. Service is slow. People are at the counter laughing and yukking it up. I am at the checkstand at the supermarket. It's a long wait. The checker and customer are catching up on old times as we die of old age waiting in line. Is this the new way of dealing with overcrowded urban areas? You just pretend that you are the only person on planet earth?
