where someone basicly reiterates what the bible says?

If you know how to read then you shouldn't need to go to church, unless the bible isnt 100% true and chruches are used to brainwash peopel to believe a certain way.

the whole faith thing doesn't make sense to me, was a xtian, long story short overall it didn't make sense to me, however life isn't any clearer on the other side as an atheist & agnostic.

*consciousness...really where does it come from? how can evolution explain that? It just doesn't make sense.

*the time that we live in...why here, why now, why was I born in a certain country with certain parents?

I'm open to all views.

Does anyone know any other funny way of saying someone's "not all there"? For example, the saying, "a couple of french fries short of a happy meal."

I dont push my beliefs on anyone, but when someone on here asks a question about God, theres always people that get on here and dont even answer the question, they just make a comment of how God isnt real. I just want to know why are they so insecure they have to make other people feel bad about what they believe...?

Does it garner your respect? Are you able to overcome the barriers, or do the errors in syntax, grammer, and spelling distract you from it's content?

As a teenager I did many childish things such as running out of the car during a red light at an intersection, making dorky documentarys where I would bug strangers, and bubble-ing fountains and tp-ing peoples houses. Now that I am 26 I still find myself loving to do dumb stuff, is that bad? Do you think I need to grow up?

I'm not justifying the actions of criminals either. Hardly.
What I'm saying is that isn't it just pretending that there are no bad people int he world?
Yes we should be able to walk down the street naked but unfortunately there are bad people in the world. Yes even in the west.

I believe it is naive for a woman to dress so revealing then act surprised when she has attracted a criminal.
I think it is irresponsible for people to act like that.

I think you get my point.

The ones here who will say go to darfur then or the middle east.... get a life. Your just avoiding the question.

I'm not saying women should wear a burqa either..
Sometimes a little restraint goes a long way.

i was working tonight and overheard some girl complaining because the credit card gift card she got from her parents only had $140 left on it and that it originally had $650 on it...

people that live in my area are really rich, but 16-17 year olds getting brand new cars or loads of cash for xmas is a bit ridiculous to me.

"Why is it acceptable to have an all black club or group and not an all whites only group?"

I in no way, what so ever called black people bad names or described in a bad light. There was not a curse anywhere in the question. It was a genuine question regarding something I feel is a double standard.....and it gets deleted. Is it even possible now a days to ask questions about things you feel are not fair? Or are we living in cold war era Russia where just asking questions gets you banned?

What's really hypocritical is that the hardcore Christians believe in the virgin birth, but think it would be immoral to clone or use any research that recreates embreyos without sexual intercourse (in other words a virgin birth).

So either Christians believe the birth of Jesus was immoral, or they are just plain dumb and should shut up.

When talking about embreyo's, this is the perfect time to ask: "What would Jesus do?"

I know that many people dont like to talk about death, or think of it, but when the topic comes up, people seem to all agree that they want to die in their sleep. People think im freaky to want to die consciously. First, let me explain myself; i want to be aware of myself dying, even if it is painful, or depressing. This is hard to explain, but this next reason is easier to understand; i want to die in a gunfight, swordfight, or something along those lines. This isnt so much because of all the movies i have seen, but because i want to die in a way that would be because someone is more skillful then me. So how would you want to die? Why?

I believe everything, at least the teachings in the New Testament, but the Old Testament has many of the same reasons I don't believe in other things such as the Koran
are there any other Christians like me or am I alone?
I'm very agnostic, especially when it comes to organized religion, that I believe all have truth and are all influenced by man, but I attend church every Sunday, because I do believe in God, and in the teachings of Christ, it also make my life feel better and cleaner

On each of the Prophet's birthdays, all of humankind stops at a specific time doing everything that they are doing, and through many loudspeakers and microphones, we learn about their revolutionary ideas and how they changed society, we basically learn about their ideas and what messages they taught people. All of the Prophets were true revolutionaries with great and powerful messages!

This would include a "Day Of Remembrance" for all of the Prophets and for each religion that has been created!
