I mean if he exists God loves you right?
wouldn't he rather you spend you time reading, helping people in third world countries, or enjoying yourselves listening to AC DC?

Do we even need to consult science to come to this conclusion? Wouldn’t it be absurd to hypothesize it appeared out in the woods due to trees falling, lightening and erosion?

And if it is absurd to assume the Piano came about by random processes isn’t even more absurd to assume human beings did? Absurd, silly, strange, illogical, meaningless and bizarre!

I’m just so tired of the debate regarding Intelligent Design being treated as science. Of course we could study if life has evidence of design just like we could study if the piano has evidence of design. To say otherwise is just openly dishonest.

However, the design in life is so clearly obvious why bother with ID? Everyone can see this just as clearly as the Piano.

I love all kinds of music. Earlier I saw a Joe South song posted and watched the video. Great song and it remined me of another song I love about ''the games people play''. It isn't an oldie. Watch first and then just listen. Tell me if you like it or not.

and this god reveals that the abrahamic god was made up by men, and the real god has a completely new set of rules that he or she wants you to live by, would you worship this god or would you continue to worship a fake god? before i get answers from christians saying this will never happen, consider this. are you saying it is impossible for science to prove the existence of a god? this would go against the idea of intelligent design, wouldn't it? or are you saying that whatever god science proves the existence of, it will definitely be your god? in that case what is the point of teaching intelligent desing if it's only going to confirm what is already known? if it's as much truth as say the sky being blue, there's really no point in delving further into the matter, is there?

But it would be completely hubris for me to say that the entire religion is a hoax. But no one can prove that Jesus has ever existed (neither can anyone prove that he has never existed haha).

Do you think his body would ever be found?

Please no bashing!

At my work place, there is an individual who is a Jehovah Witness, and I have a simple basic understanding.

Since I am now working closely with this individual, I wish to respect the beliefs.

I understand that a Jehovah Witness, does not celebrate any Religious Sect. Holiday or Birthday’s.
I also understand that a Jehovah Witness, does not wear any religious emblems.
I am also aware to not say, “Bless you”, or “God Bless You”, when a person sneezes.

Although I know this, I do not know as to why.

I feel that it is important for me to RESPECT the beliefs of my co-worker, and the work place is not the place to discuss religion.

Would you be kind enough to assist me so that I may have a better understanding of their beliefs?

Thank you,
Sam

seems self-defeating if you ask me

being gay is no big deal. so why spend your whole life asserting your sexual orientation so overtly?

i would liken it to stupid PC censorship of lyrics - if radio stations just played the records instead of making a fuss over one or two words, nobody would care

similarly for sexual orientation

I don't understand why it is so hard for people to understand who we are. It bothers me when people ask why we can't except that we are black. That's like saying why do people consider themselves pacific islanders and not just say that they are asian. I mean give me a break. What is African American; A culture, a language, a way of cooking. We as creoles have all of these things. We have a creole way of cooking, dancing, speaking, religion (most creoles are catholic). I think technically creoles would be considered Latinos before black. Futhermore, I do not know anyone person that is "african-American" or "euro-American" in my family unless they have married into the family. My parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents were all Creole.

I grew up in a small town, so I always attended church of one faith or another. I've usually been attracted to women in the past. I had even joined the Mormon Church 14 years ago because I had always felt the need to fit in after I moved to Utah. I just felt like that I was supposed to be normal? Well, after 10 years of marriage to a gal in the Mormon church, I ended up going through a divorce because I finally realized that all the LDS rules just hold you back in life. Why wasn't there real sex ed back when I was in school? I've just never dated a cute guy. Although I'm 35 now, i feel like this new book is opening up. But yet, I'm just not sure about oral sex. Is that dumb? Or, should I not worry about the sex?

5:60 Shall I tell thee of a worse (case) than theirs for retribution with Allah ? (Worse is the case of him) whom Allah hath cursed, him on whom His wrath hath fallen and of whose sort Allah hath turned some to apes and swine, and who serveth idols. Such are in worse plight and further astray from the plain road.

Look at most if not all the numbers, then tell me if there is such a thing as right and wrong. Ok?

We are perfect.
Perfection never changes.
Life is a contradiction.
Perfection doesn't exist.
Existence has no foundation.
Nature is a contradiction.
Reality has no foundation.
Truth has no foundation.
Knowledge is one fallible assumption after another.
Beliefs have no foundation.
Humans are imperfections living in an imperfect world.
Imperfection cannot learn every choice is a mistake.
Ironically, imperfection is never self-aware.
Mankind makes mistakes.
Mankind is imperfect.
