Do you beleive in god or is it a made up story. does the evidence of dinasours being on earth and the big bang prove the inexsitence of god. is the adam n eve story true and thats why women suffer preganacy and the pain of it? and if it is true that means all people are related? are relgious stories just made up?also saints and preists who say they know all? are they just saying what anyone can think of e.g. why am i suffereing? answer: you are not praying to god. is this all a joke. Was jesus a really nice person but people took him as god or a powerfull magical person and called him the son of god? None of this is meant to be offensive racist or abusing anyone's beliefs or thier religion. apologies if you find it offensive.

We received a pasta bowl set as a wedding present. But I know that we won't use it and we don't have the space besides. Is it ok to regift? It is cool. What about a grill brush that is electric? We've never used it. It's still in the package.

I don't believe in God, nor do I believe in heaven. What should I tell my children when they ask about death?

Fellow non-believers, what did you (or, what are you going to) tell your children about dying?

My boyfriend is an Accountant and his firm is having a formal holiday party at a hotel in a downtown area.

I know formal typically means wearing a dress. My question is.. is a dress an only option? What colors are appropriate? It is winter time, so should the dress be long or short??

I mean, dont some religious people think rich people are wicked or something to that affect? Is there anything wrong with you, the person reading this question, for having a desire to be rich and acting upon that desire?

With finding Christmas gifts for my sister's 4 friends (they're girls). They've been really nice to me, helping me survive my first semester (I'm a freshman in college). I really appreciate all that they've done to help, and want to give them a card and some sort of gift, but I'm at a loss for what to give. Any ideas?

God is tired, worn out. So he speaks to St. Peter, "You know, I need a vacation. Got any suggestions where I should go?"

St. Peter, thinking, nods his head, then says, "How about Jupiter? It's nice and warm there this time of the year."

God shakes His head before saying, "No. Too much gravity. You know how that hurts my back."

"Hmmm," St. Peter reflects. "Well, how about Mercury?"

"No way!" God mutters, "It's way too hot for me there!"

"I've got it," St. Peter says, his face lighting up. "How about going Down to Earth for your vacation?"

Chuckling, God remarks, "Are you kidding? Two thousand years ago I went there, had an affair with some nice Jewish girl, and they're STILL talking about it!"

This was my first digital camera (sony w50) and I've had it for couple of months. Now it is gone... thanks to the person who went inside my friend's car and took it and just ran off... Why would a anyone do that? Aren't ppl educated enough to know that stealing is not ethical and espcially where it can be seen? My friend saw the person run off and then get on the bike, couldn't catch him... even though there were security cameras on the site... Now all my memories are being watched by some miserable stranger and it is just an invasion of privacy

OK. So I respect the fact, that you do not believe in
religion, or Christ. But do you put more trust in just
things that are illogical, or without reason ? Or do you
believe in some form of intelligent design, or universal
force, in any way possible. Does science get your
neo cortex juices flowing ? What do you believe in ?
Best answer wins. *

do yo think that science will one day prove your believe to be true....

yo may not care, and it may not make any difference one way or another. but do you have some sort of belief that science will catch-up with your ideology so that it becomes fact and not just faith?

If you are familiar with this older-children's book, you know that is about a "utopia" where people are de-sexed and are arranged into families--only one person in a community is chosen as the reciptical of "bad memories" or negative thoughts. A newborn baby is euthanized beacause he is a twin, and twins throw off the whole balance of the community. The whole summation of the book is that it is a tragedy that people have their free will taken from them in the name of "peace."

I think that it is a good, thought-provoking book and my son enjoyed reading it several times. (Mind you, it is for teens and older kids) So why is it banned?

I'm a Christian, but I am certainly not an advocate in censoring rational thought because it may be disturbing.

Do you think that saying "I say these words in the name of Jesus" in the end of prayer and not praying to Him directly is good enough? In the Bible Jesus is called a mediator between God and men, and also He once said that no one will come to the Father except through Him (even not "with His help", but "THROUGH Him"). How is it possible to resort to a help of a mediator and never communicate with him at that?

Matthew 24:4 Jesus said " Watch out that no one decieves you. For many will come in my name saying 'I am the Christ' and will decieve many.

Do you think he meant:
1 - In the last days people would show up proclaiming to be the Christ?
2- False Christians who say "Jesus is the Christ" would deceive people by living and teaching contrary to the word of God?

I welcome any additional insight you wish to offer.
