If one could afford it, would you prefer a night "out" for dinner, dancing, or a movie, OR would you prefer a night "in" with your significant other, sipping cocktails and munching on pizza while watching your favorite movie ?

I see many of you telling Muslims to explain why they kill for honor. I see you accuse all of us of this. Yet when it's proven from the actual religion of Islam that these actions are against Islam, you don't want to hear it or read it. Can you tell me why?

For those who are going to say that none have tried, here is a question I posed, and those who were trashing obviously didn't read it for if they had, they would not have stated what they did.

How can you be so narrow minded?

I don't discriminate in my friendships. I don't care what anyone else believes because I'm not them. It's their lives. If somebody respects me, they get respect in return. Out of all of my friends, an atheist is my best friend because she is accepting and just such a great person. So why are you discriminatory?

If we had a anarchy, we would have a perfect government.
Democracy sucks as it only benefits the rich.
We don't need rules as rules only suppress our freedom.
We need to overthrow our Christian government and replace it with a anarchy!!!
Thank you in advance atheists for supporting my beliefs.

1) If Jesus was supposed to have visited what is now North America, how did he get here, why did he come here - what happened here?

2) Was the Garden of Eden in Missouri or Minnesota? Any evidence to that fact?

I heard these two facts mentioned on CNN yesterday regarding the Romney religion thing...

Thanks!

The question is raised, Does the Bible speak anywhere about capital punishment, and especially is there anything about this in the New Testament?
Let me begin to answer this, first of all, by indicating that the Bible is one whole. And the statements in the Old Testament are just as much God's will as those in the New Testament. However, we will look both in the Old and the New Testament.
In Genesis 9:6 we read, "Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed. For God made man in His own image." In other words, God has laid down an inviolate rule, and this rule has never been abrogated in the Bible. You can search the Bible, and it has never been set aside. God indicates that when man murders, then he is to forfeit his life.
Now elsewhere in the Bible we'll discover that just anybody can't take that man's life. There are the constituted authorities who must do this. Now going to the New Testament, in Romans 13 we read about the role of government in carrying out the will of God. In Romans 13:1 we read, "Let every person be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore he who resists the authorities resists what God has appointed. And those who resist will incur judgment."
And then it goes on and speaks about government in verse 4: "For he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid. For he does not bear the sword in vain. He is the servant of God to execute His wrath on the wrongdoer."
Now in the Bible the use of the sword was to kill. It was not to beat, it was not to chastise. It was used to kill. It's like the gun is used today. A gun is used to kill. And here God indicates that it is the government's role to wield the sword, death-dealing instruments, in order to execute God's wrath on the wrongdoer.
This is written, of course, totally in the context of the New Testament, after Christ had returned to Heaven, after the cross experience. And so God very definitely envisions capital punishment.
Genesis 9 is one of the best passages that indicates at least one area where capital punishment is to be administered. Another New Testament reference to capital punishment can be found in Matt 26. The Roman guard had come to the Garden of Gethsemane to seize Jesus. Suddenly Peter wielded his sword and cut off the ear of Malchus, a servant of the high priest. Peter's act of striking at the head with a deadly weapon caused serious bodily injury and could have easily taken the soldier's life. Jesus immediately rebuked Peter by saying "all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword." By this statement Jesus is actually reaffirming the death penalty. The language Jesus used was directly parallel to that which is found in Genesis 9:6 - "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man." Human life is very much valued by God. He gives life and takes away life. Therefore God has a right to require payment or punishment when man usurps God's authority. He can demand that punishment be meted out by the law given in Noah's day, by the unjust Roman government or by our modern day criminal justice system.
