Why Hinduism has descriptions of very advanced weapons, flying machines etc from ancient times!
Were the Hindus a very advanced race destroyed in a prehistoric nuclear war or something? How come their is no proof of such weapons now?

I have been watching athists for some years now growing up. I notice that unlike most other arguments athists seem to have an unusualy strong dislike towards religion.

Its ok if you hate somethng thats different from mine but when you get all hot and bothered about it to the point of near insainty one has to wonder. I can respect an athists decision but i dont understand why they have a need to trample a religion and speak blasphemouse things about god and worshippers at every chance they get.

Why are athists the way they are i mean ,,,,,HOW DID THEY COME TO HATE RELIGION AND SEEM TO ENJOY IT? DID THEY HAVE A BAD EXPIRIENCE WITH IT IN LIFE AT SOME POINT.

Im asking this cos i want to understand where your coming from if your an athist im not judging anyone.

I have gotten in some really good debates regarding religion with friends and family. But never have any of them dared to say the hateful things that I see posted here.
So it just got me wondering is all...

Today and yesterday on a local radio station, they were playing a tape of a call into a Texas radio station. (I think it was a Christian station.)

This little boy called in very disturbed about an old cow on his farm or whatever. He sounded no older than 9 or 10. He was talking about the cow had broken her back and he put her down himself and was sort of crying and obviously disturbed about this whole situation. (Where was his mama??) Then he went on to talk about the cow dying was the same as God giving up Jesus to die for us. The radio guy was like, yes, that's true, absolutely true.

Am I a cold heartless you know what or am I the only person who thinks that makes no sense whatsoever?? Obviously, I feel for the boy and hope someone helped him with the loss of the cow, the death of which seemed to really hurt him. Plus, he is probably way too young to have put an animal down!!

But from a religious standpoint, how does what he was saying make sense?

why is it so important that we have a definite answer this moment on what caused the big bang? why are some people so impatient to find a logical answer which they will ultimately deny? to say i don't to a question does mean anyone has given up looking for an answer. it just means i don't know.
are these people just as impatient when matters which actually affect their lives? let's say you go to the doctor because you're sick. the doctor says, "i need to evaluate your symptoms for a week before i can diagnose what's wrong with you. then we can begin treatment." would you be so impatient as to tell your doctor, "no. i need to know now"? would you rather your doctor make up an answer and be wrong? would you rather your doctor tell you you're sick because god wants you to be sick and there's nothing he can do about it?

Can I get a refund or an exchange for a new life? If a 1,000 years is like a day to god, then I figure I'm well within the 30-day return policy. Plus, the customer is always right. So, can I get a new life?

To the best of my knowledge, these have never existed in the Middle East/Mediterrean, where the bible is centred. Were they created as a backup plan? Is it the devil's attempt at a parody of mammals? Was Australasia not affected by the flood?

This was an argument a friend and I had over this last weekend.

On a return flight home from Florida, I had a window seat. I get bored easily, and was attempting to play on my nintendo DS. The glare from the open window was immense and made it unplayable. So i closed the shade. This then caused some whiny chick in the isle seat to complain she wanted the shade open so she could see out and also get sunlight.

I, in a nice way, told her sorry, but i have the window seat and therefore its fair i decide what to do with it, as it affects me most. I told her she can live without sunlight for an hour and a half. horrendous glare is worse than no sunlight. Her boyfriend across the isle then called me a dick, and we proceeded to have a few words. I kept the window down the whole time. I never saw them again, so who cares right?

well for future reference i want to know how others view this situation? as trivial as it seemed, she and her BF got quite worked up about it

what is your favorite way of preparing it? I like mine grilled with the usual toppings, and maybe a nice Guinness.

in the USA.
There are arm guards in christian churches in the USA.
That kind of ridiculous for a country wanting to spread
democracy in the MiddleEast.
America should clean their own filth before imposing it
on another country.
It seems to me ,they need help from Islam.

Try to be as specific as possible. Does a person have to have a certain mind set? Does correct doctrine qualify a monopoly on God? Does the heart? Do the actions of a person qualify them as having a monopoly on God?

Is it you believe there is no God, and you life is in your hands? Is that you make your own destiny? Explaine how you can manage all the wonders of this Earth, this lifetime without devine intervention? Really, one human cannot even stop cancer from overtaking his body. One human cannot stop the ocean from spilling onto the land, one human cannot shut the sun down. So how can you explaine that you are here on Earth without God's permission?

"Santa"
An unselfish person gives an unselfish gift !
A person puts on a red coat and a fur lined red hat -giving up 'self' for the day.
How can I not love that person who brings a little joy , happiness and 'magic' to others -even if only one day a year.
Santa helps me remember St. Nicholas and the Birth celebrated at this time of year.
Santa is the embodiment of giving, love, and , generosity- whatever else you may or may not believe.
Can each of us be Santa for another at least once a year ???

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn
" 'a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.'

"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and anyone who does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it."

We know He is the Son of God and the SOn of Man. Of the four gospels.. three emphasize Him as the Kingly Savior with a geneology in Matthew .. One as a Slave savior in Mark without geneology and Luke as the Genuine Man savior. JOhn shows Him as God Who is the Word from the Beginning.

But to the Lord in His day to day ministering, I have noticed that even when the Demons confessed Him as the Son of God and NEVER as the Son of Man that He would silence them.( Luke 4:41)
I was looking through the bible and almost all of the times the Lord referred to Himself He did so as the Son of Man. The References to Him as the ' Son of God " was done by others when it related to Him.
Why was this so important to the Lord during His earthly ministry.
