If we evolved from monkeys, why do monkeys still exist? (I'm not trying to be smart here lol I'm really not please don't take it the wrong way I'm just curious b/c I didn't pay attention in science class) And why don't we have hair all over us? Why dont we have fossils of human/monkey people? (or do we idk if we do let me know the link to the site you find about it hehe again not trying to be smart lol)
I just wanted to say....I am not a monkey. I don't know about you, you might have evolved from a monkey, but I my friend am not. (I was trying to be smart there haha. =))

When the time comes when we die, we go before him, and are both forgiven, even though you live your life in servitude of said being, and I live mine to my own purpose, doubting the existence of such a being?

Would you be mad if I got a mansion next to you in heaven, and cranked my stereo?

This is a pure hypothetical, of course....

I was raised a Catholic in a very devout Catholic country in Asia. I immigrated to the States over 18 years ago. I think I got acclimated to the new culture within 5 years but have been struggling with my religion. I'm very confused; the Catholic churches - and I've lived in various states, have been so different than the Catholic churches in my native homeland. For example, the tithe is a new concept for me, to contribute 10% of what I make is uncomfortable to me, and it was not how we did it back home - we'd give what we can. And registering is also foreign to me. I'm in a very bad financial situation right now with more debt than what I make. But I do want to go to mass but feel uncomfortable going and not contributing the 10% which seems to be a big focus in this community I live in. I have two daughters and I really want to get them involved in church but again, I feel that I have to come up with the 10% for me to go. I'm very confused.

I cried when I listened to this song & video by T.Graham Brown. Asking God to turn the wine into water.

My husband has just quit himself & my daughter has just had her 3rd baby.

I believe Jesus turns wine into water all the time. My family plans to do this, to support my husband, this Christmas.

I'm a Lutheran, and if I was to go out with a Mormon, would that be okay? Would the church get mad at him or anything like that? If we got married, could my parents go to the wedding?

Would you change your belief just because a religion was the most believed religion ?
Would your stick to your faith in the face of adversity ?

The (rather silly) assumption that there are no atheists in foxholes, basically means that everybody, when looking Death into the eyes, will convert to God in their last seconds on this planet.

If you assume that in their dying moments, all atheists will convert to your religion anyway, why constantly feel the need to tell us about hell? Why warn us? According to the brilliant "no atheists in foxholes" logic, we're all going to go to Heaven anyway, right?

I'm doing a research project so real answers please. For those of you who do not believe there is anything after this life (once you die you cease to exist and thats that), what do you live for? In other words, what keeps you striving to live each day when you know (believe) that at the end of this it would be as if you never existed?

Please dont take the wording in a wrong way, it is for a paper and I think you guys can assume what I'm trying to say if you're not very clear.

As an atheist I can verify that I personally believe in many things, it's just none of them are supernatural beings and/or deities. So I am certainly not a non-believer. So what exactly is this non-believer we hear so much about in R&S?

Someone posted, made me think of "Eve of Destruction" and it was written either in the '60's or '70's and their talking about the end. People talked about it before Y2K, now it's 2012 and the Mayan Calendar and the Galactic Alignment. People have thought the end was coming even in Jesus's time. They thought he was coming back in their lieftime. Another one that stands out is 1492. People thought that was the end because it was supposedily the 7,000th year of Creation. This is why Nostradomus is alive and well. He was vague and everyone applies it to THEMSELVES!
