Since I'm not a Christian, am I wrong? I know the Pagans started the tree business, but the Christians did take it as theirs. I'm an atheist....so what do you think?

I learn a lot from watching this, I am feeling a little sad and emtional, why can't people realize that gay people are human beings too, If I would have been with Mattew I would told the men who took his life and robbed him to take my life instead, that is how much I love Matthew, he is a gay male and like me and the thousands of other gay men, he was still a human being and we gay people have to deal with homophobia and stuff, someday more and more haters will realize we are humans, and we have the same rights as everybody else, and Matthew, me and all gay and lesbian people are God's children too, I am so sick of turning on the news hearing about a gay person got shot or killed by haters, here are the links,

How many times do I have to explain it? The sister group of the apes is the Old World monkeys. The apes have evolutionary novelties that distinguish them from the monkeys, but there are no evolutionary novelties that distinguish monkeys from apes. Monkeys are a paraphyletic group. The apes (ourselves included) came from monkeys.

All together now:

The nearest common ancestor of humans and apes was an ape.

The nearest common ancestor of humans, apes, and monkeys was a monkey.

The nearest common ancestor of humans, apes, monkeys, and fish was a fish.

Got it?

Is there any instances where God does something, directly, or indirectly to influence a persons life? Obviously there are stories where he talks to people, like Noah. But are there instances where he does something that directly influences an individuals life. I'm not looking for things like the flood, since that obviously influences a lot of lives. But like lets say someone was about to do something, and God does something to change or stop that.

thanks.

For example, a lot of people follow the ten commandments, most of which are the same as laws. YOu know, be good because God is watching and if you're bad you go to hell or whatever.

And the sun runs (one course) into a "Resting Place" that is the decree of exalted in Might The "All Knowing"

36:38 (yasin)

THE HOLY QURAN ON THE SUN'S RESTING PLACE




"Resting place" is the translation of the Arabic word " Mustaqarr" which indicates an exact appointed place and fixed time. According to modern astronomy, the solar system is indeed moving in space at a rate of 12 miles per second towards a point situated in the constellation of Hercules (alpha lyrae) whose exact location has been precisely calculated.

Furthermore, astronomers have named that "Mustaqarr": The Solar Apex.



The notion of "a resting place" for the sun is vividly described in the Holy Qur'an

i suppose prophit mohhamad (pbuh) had this huge telescope and observing this matter ... :-?
(1400 years ago)
they lie he was an illiturate man

Three couples, an elderly couple, a middle-aged couple and a young newly-wed couple wanted to join a church. The pastor said, "We have special requirements for new parishioners. You must abstain from having sex for two weeks." The couples agreed and came back at the end of two weeks.

The pastor went to the elderly couple and asked, "Were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?"

The old man replied, "No problem at all, Pastor."

"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. The pastor went to the middle-aged couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for the two weeks?"

The man replied, "The first week was not too bad. The second week I had to sleep on the couch for a couple of nights but, yes, we made it."

"Congratulations! Welcome to the church!" said the pastor. The pastor then went to the newly-wed couple and asked, "Well, were you able to abstain from sex for two weeks?"

"No Pastor, we were not able to go without sex for the two weeks," the young man replied sadly.

"What happened?" inquired the pastor.

"My wife was reaching for a can of paint on the top shelf and dropped it. When she bent over to pick it up, I was overcome with lust and took advantage of her right there."

"You understand, of course, this means you will not be welcome in our church," stated the pastor.

"We know," said the young man, "We're not welcome at 'Do it All' any more either."

For instance, people just go out of their way and make religion their whole life, sure they can do it since it's their choice, but for religion to restrict your whole way of life is just unfair, especially if you're having that belief pushed onto you by overbearing parents.

Isn't religion supposed to enhance your life? In the case of a few of my friends, their parents won't let them hang around with boys, they have to be afraid of making any kind of mistake because their parents will punish them, and one of them is 21! The parents are religious, but they are just so overbearing. What do you think?

So what, you ask? If you don't think it matters, don't answer. But if you are a good Jew, you will care and probably know. When the eclipse occurred during the crucifixion, the sun was obscured as it sat in the constellation of Aries. Therefore, Aries would have been prominent and anyone looking at the eclipse would have seen Aries in the sky. As handed down from Noetic tradition, Aries is the symbol of the lamb who was to be slain. This eclipse would have been up in the SW sky. I'd like to think that Christ faced NE on the cross so that when the eclipse occurred, those gathered around to gaze upon Him would have easily seen the astral phenomenon.
