It seems like all the fans of it are atheists. I was wondering if Christians have a religious issue with it.

If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's the link:

I am trying to come up with a new e-mail address. I would like it to be in Italian and have a Christian theme. Like, "God's beautiful Love,"...something like that. Any suggestions?

Many say no and point to the fact that animals do not have the intellect or sense of self that humans have.

However, to those that bring up these points, do you lump all animals into the same category above simply because they are not human? Remember, many animals have human qualities:

Examples:

Dolphins, elephants, parrots, chimps/gorillas/bonobos clearly have a sense of "self", which means that they are sentient, just like humans; they recognize their "selves" as individuals in a mirror and realize that is THEM, not another animal of the same species.

Chimps have recently been shown to have a greater capacity for counting and remembering numbers than do human beings.

Bonobos "make love not war" just like humans, they are the only animals who use sex to diffuse tense situations, make up after a fight, and just "have fun" without regards to mating cycles, just like humans.

Parrots not only have a sense of "self" but some also an intelligence equal to a 5 year old child; do some research on “Alex” the African Grey who was trained by Dr. Irene Pepperberg if you have any doubts or questions, he died while she was starting to teach him the alphabet and was going to move on to reading simple words such as “cat” and “hat”. Many parrots, mostly African Greys, are capable of carrying on simple conversations in HUMAN language (much as gorillas and chimps with sign language), ask for what they want or need, and say the appropriate word or phrase at the appropriate time (such as saying goodnight when the lights go out).

How can these types of animals not have a soul if you simply equate “soul” to human intelligence and knowledge of “self”?

when Jesus came, why did Jesus say He didn't come to erase all the laws, but to fulfill them?

The old laws allowed divorce but then Christ says in the new testiment that you are an adultery the rest of your life if you divorce? So GOD would expect women and men to stay in abusive marriages? Someone please explain!

Does it say anything to atheists when it's a known truth that the elite people of the world (mainly American) are either Christian or Satanic? If you look into the secret societies of the world, you will find most of them worship Satan, which means, they are not an atheist. So is being an atheist like being nothing?

I recently asked a question about a perfect god creating a harsh world. One answer i found interesting said that due to the fall of man at the Garden of Eaden, God cursed the Earth which is why we have starvation,disease,pain sorrow, etc. So my question now is, if God cursed mankind to an etenity of evil and darkness, why are Christian people still worshiping him like he's lord of all that is good? I'm not trying to make anybody mad i'm just lookin for answers, thanks.

And routinely commit the greatest of evils on their fellow creatures?

Jesus' message was one of Love and compassion; Jesus was a self-realised soul that knew all about what it is to know God, and he taught respect and sactity of all life, and love for all of God's creation.

Yet they own and condone slaughterhouses where millions of animals live miserable and hellish lives, where they are de-horned, de-beaked and castrated all for the sake of 'meat'.

Not to mention God's First Commandment in the Bible.
Thou Shalt Not Kill - not Thou Shalt Not Kill Humans, not even Thou Shalt Not Murder, it's simply:
'Thou Shalt Not Kill.'

Also, do you hear any mention of meat in your Garden of Eden? Nope. It was paradise, and a paradise without death.

The taking of life is the greatest of offences before God.

So, anyone, answer me this, how can you say you're a righteous person and still condone the torture and destruction of the Lord's creation?

Come on people, fellow "Christians", you 're picking out verses that compliment what you want to say, not what the truth really is. If God aknowledged them, why can't you?

All she does is gossip, and she is super annoying. She will ask me every day to go, so it's not like I can make up one excuse, like a dental appointment bc when I do that, she asks me to go later on in the week, and I'm running out of excuses! oh, and she doesnt have much authority, there is no reason to get on her good side. she cannot fire me.

Lol I posted a question similar to his before, but I want to start wearing a Hijab in about a year and a half.. I'm planning on telling my mom soon, but I haven't done so yet because it's harder than it sounds. :( Anyways, upon asking my Muslim friend, she said that I should not wear the Hijab, because it would not fit my style and she likes my hair, and that I'm already good with my religion...What should I do? I know it doesn't matter what people think, but I can't help but to wonder. :S

ME AND MY WHOLE FAMILY ARE MUSLIM-BORN. I DID NOT CONVERT!

I hear this a lot around here. Why is it that there are always those Christians who think anyone who isn't Christian is unhappy? I've also heard we non-Christians are unable to love, are living in darkness, and are angry. None of which is true.

So what's that about?

I do have the option of going to a party but the next day I have to go to switzerland on a ski holiday (btw, i live in England and i'm 17) so my dad would have to pick me up at about 8 30 in the morning and i would have to take all of my luggage to this party. I want to go to it because i wasn't able to do anything last year but it causes a few problems with me going on holiday. What to do?
