I'm curious about how you react to scientific articles such as these: http://news.yahoo.com/s/livescience/20071226/sc_livescience/modernbeetlespredatedinosaurs

Do you just ignore it, or shake your heads in disbelief and disgust about how absurd it all is?

Are the scientists who believe that evolutionary forces took place over hundreds of millions, and even billions of years, all delusional? Are they doing the "devil's work?" Are those who listen to and accept what evolutionary scientists say just being duped? Are the scientists and their followers going to hell because of it?

Jesus, throughout the Gospels, instituted the Holy Eucharist (Holy Communion) for our benefit, stating "This is my Body and this is my Blood." He didn't say this is a symbol of my Body and Blood, but this IS my Body and Blood. John 6:53 states ".....unless you eat the flesh of the son of Man and drink His blood, you do not have life within you." Jesus lost many followers that day because of the reality of this message, which is to be taken very literally. We also know that the early Christians were persecuted for being alleged cannibals. Now why would this be unless they believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, which can only be transubstantiated through the ministry of a priest through the words of consecration.

So, I would like to know why you do not believe in the Real Presence of Christ within the Eucharist. It is plain to see that Jesus instituted this Sacrament and it's importance. What is your interpretation of such obvious Scripture?

we have seen stars in every stage and know that it typically takes hundreds of millions to billions of years (depending on the star's mass) to go from one stage to another.

If you do, are you being hypocritical? Don't you know the new year is based on the ancient Julian calendar (and susequent Gregorian calendar) and January is named for the pagan God Janus?

Was i being an jerk?
twouys came to the gym with their sister,girlfriend(of the one guy)They aren't particularly fond of me because of tension i've had with her(she's persian so it's a different culture)and various incidents.They were in one section working out and i basically stayed near them in that section and glanced at them from time to time and i wouldn't venture too much out of there.Eventually the guy looked at me when my back was turned.Do you think they were annoyed?I don't take crap from anyone although i wasn't trying to start anything i stayed steadfast in the areain.(i continued to work out,but kept my eye on them as well).I didn't go anywhere near the girl though.She looked like she may have wanted to talk but i just ignored her.But anyway,about the two guys,why were they giving me those vibes?

A very shy guy goes into a pub on Valentine's Day night and sees a beautiful woman sitting alone at the bar.
After an hour of gathering up his courage he finally goes over to her and asks tentatively, "Um, would you mind if I brought you a drink?"

She responds by yelling, at the top of her lungs, "No, I won't sleep with you tonight!"

Everyone in the pub is now staring at them. Naturally, the guy is hopelessly and completely embarrassed and he slinks back to his table totally red faced.

After a few minutes, the woman walks over to him and apologises. She smiles at him and says, "I'm really sorry if I embarrassed you just then. You see, I'm a graduate student in psychology and I'm studying how people respond to embarrassing situations."

The man responds, at the top of his lungs, "No I will not pay $200!"

There are enough evidence to support the notion, that an individual can live a happy, moral, fullfilling and constructive life without the use of religion, so what is it that keeps people to choose to be living through the guidelines of a religion?
