It's got to be. How can it be complete if there are so many different contradicitons and interpretations? If God was perfect, why wouldn't his word be? The only explanation for that is that it's incomplete. This question goes hand in hand with this question: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AvMiSTFvyVDxHKeq8zhuXUzty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071230092735AA13BTx

Creationists believe that they were created by an intelligent and loving God. Atheists believe that their ancestors are monkeys (or at least that they share common ancestor with monkeys)

So, why not leave creationists alone. Let them pine for and worship their God?

On the other hand, let atheists pine for and look for their ancestors?

There is a really nice guy I really like, have known him for several years through his work, but he has just got back to work after being really poorly. i sent him a few get well cards to support him during his time off via his work (works for a bank so I know they can't give me personal details). we talked about going for a coffee prior to his illness, but I'm sure when is stronger we will still go, but getting better surely must be a priority. One of my mates thinks he might be gay even though she has never met him., she thinks he would have been in touch already but I am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt as he has had enough to contend with being so ill. Idon't get the feeling he is, so why should she?? please help

i went to see it last night. I'm a Roman Catholic and i wanted to see the movie to get my own point of view on it, if it was anti-Christian/Catholic or not. I have to say that the only thing i saw was that they refered to souls as "demons" that's all that my chirstian side noticed. now that side of me that was paying attention to the quality of the movie thought it sucked! omg! it's sad to say but i wanted that kid to die, she was so freaking annoying, i did not like the movie at all!!! who here agrees??

. . .tend to hold up the most extreme examples of another person's religious beliefs as being representative of the entire group? I'm thinking of things like the "Muslim terrorist," the "amoral atheist," or the "fundamentalist Christian" stereotypes.

Is it human nature to find the worst examples of a group and use them to prove your point that "all those worthless (fill in the blank) are like that"?

Or are people's debating and logic skills so weak these days that they have to resort to mud-slinging and generalization to 'prove' their point?

q1) what do you think of the doctrines of the roman catholic church?
q2) why do you use the westcott and hort text, which originates from the roman catholic church, and use it to translate your New world translation?


CAN YOU READ ACTS 8:37 FROM YOUR NEW WORLD TRANSLATION?

Does it mean that the translators of the NWT are all in hell, burning screaming because they broke the very, very last warning? . . . . Rev 22:19 (NWT) and if anyone takes anything away from the words of the scroll of this prophecy, God will take his portion away from the trees of life and out of the holy city, things which are written about in this scroll.

Lets say prayer works (full disclosure: I don't believe for a minute that it does). But, help me understand this point.

If god is already involved and influencing world events, does prayer convince him to change things from the way they are going?

Was he going to get involved in an event in a certain manner (or not get involved), but the amount of prayer he received changed his mind?

Was he going to allow a person to die, but the amount of "email"/prayer he received convinces him otherwise?

Does he only get involved and change things when "public opinion" is strong enough? What is the threshold for his getting involved?

Really, I don't mean to be trite, but if prayer works is it like lobbying a congressman. Doesn't god already know what he's doing and have a plan. Does he require reminding of certain events - or nagging to get him to act?

Honestly, if god exists, the prayer thing doesn't really make sense does it?

Last year during Ash Wensday like 15 kids in a couple of my classes had ash in the shape of a cross on their foreheads. I was curious and asked them why. I was shocked when none of them knew. They all shuggred their shoulders and were like we dont know. They told me that they just did this because everyone else did it at their church. I couldnt believe what I was hearing. I would never do anything if I did not know what it meant or stood for. I mean were in college shouldnt they be asking questions? Are they just not paying attention at church? What is the point of going then if you dont pay attention or dont know the meaning of anything? I know this is extreme but what if ashes on your forehead had some racists horrible meaning to it? So catholics why do you put ashes on your foreheads? What does it mean or stand for? Thanks.

When does a persons quality of life superceede a religious belief?
Do you feel a person should suffer and then die when it's their time?

We put our pets out of misery when they are in pain.
Why not do that for others that are suffering.....they can't eat, sleep, or even think clearly because of the pain.

One afternoon, a wealthy lawyer was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the roadside. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.

"Why are you eating grass?" he asked one man.

"We don't have any money for food," the poor man replied.

"Oh, come along with me then."

"But sir, I have a wife with two children!"

"Bring them along! And you, come with us too!", he said to the other man.

"But sir, I have a wife with six children!" the second man answered.

"Bring them as well!"

They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limo. Once underway, one of the poor fellows says, "Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you."

The lawyer replied, "No problem, the grass at my home is about two feet tall."

Heyy. Okay I have this major problem.
I'm 13, and my parish priest recently reprimanded
me in front of all my friends and called my parents
and got me in trouble (I won't go into the details
explaining what I did) but now that he did that,
I have alot of animosity towards him!

I feel so bad about it, but I really hate him now!
Every time I see him, I get mad and think he's a jerk,
and when he preaches, I can't help but think
"Shut up, you fat a.sshole! No one cares!"

I know it's so wrong, and I feel horrible about it!
I really try not to be angry at him, but I just find
myself hating him ALOT. It's unfortunate because
I'm pretty religious, but when I go to church I can't
focus I just hate him sooo much.

Can anyone help me not be angry at him anymore??
Thanks!

There is a highway in Texas called I-35. Many christians think it is a holly high way because there is mention of a highway called I-35 in the bible. Now, these people want to get the highway made into some sort of religions landmark. If i was the governer, i would change the highway to I-666 just to see what these people would do. (i dont worship the devil, but i am athiest.) Can someone explain why someone could be so stupid to believe it is holly?
