And don't start babbling about how it isn't real or how I should find Jesus. That isn't my question. I want to know who has had this kind of experience and what happened.

When I'm reading Bible, grief is the main emotion I feel. I sorrow for all these poor guys who were targets of God's wrath, all that burning sulfur and floods and Egyptian plagues and constand fighting, and bleeding Jesus and Judas who hanged himself and Apostles beaten and executed... It's almost like these pages smell of blood. And later there was inquisition and crusades and innumerable martyrs...

I'm a gentle kind of person. I'm against violence to animals, say nothing of people. I'm against corporal punishment and I never had it in childhood. My parents always told me all problems in this world should be resolved with words, not with your fists and weapons - and it works for me. I think everyone is good deep inside their hearts.

How can I convince myself to accept the way God treated his own kids?

So stop calling it a fact. None of us were there. But there is evidence for each side. Which do want to believe? Sometime about a billion years ago life formed out of non-life? Or an all-powerful God created Adam and Eve foe the purpoise of fellowshipping with Him. Do some research yourselves, don't believe one website. Read some books, they're usually more reliable. Personally I'm a Creationist, and I'm convinced.

I'm curious about death ect, more like afraid of it. Scared of losing the ones I love. But really, how do we know what is real? What if we are in a hell like state now, and death is the "real life". There are so many things in this world they we cant understand. And science cannot measure things "of another world or demension". I just am trying to understand. Who is to say we are "living". What science has stated as fact was just created by humans anyway..so really...we have created our own "reality"

Also, in a case of the brain dead. A person's body can be alive, including the brain, and yet the person cannot speak or respond or anything. It is like the person is alive, yet they are "gone". Body alive, but the "person" the thing that is you, is gone. Something to think about - body alive, yet mind (you) is gone. Is that perosn's body alive yet thier "spirit" is gone.

Ironically enough, I have noticed that many of the towns Jesus spent his childhood in or happened to visit such as Bethleham, Nazareth, Galilee (inside Israel), and East Jerusalem home to the via dossa (apologize for the misspell) are populated by a large Palestinian majority except for Galilee which has a small Palestinian minority. Although the West Bank was then known as Judea, today it is home to more than two million Palestinian Arabs and Jesus' birthplace happens to be in a future Palestinian state.

Biblically, the idea of Palestine is ignored and probably never mentioned in the bible. Only the name of Israel is mentioned. I haven't came across the name in the text but there are bibles that carry maps with Palestine written on it.

Historically, Palestine has been a part of world history. Prophet Muhammad's night travel, the Crusades, the Ottoman Empire and our concept of the HolyLand in historic terms until 1948, have all taken place inside Palestine.

I think they have the same doctrine. Instead of God, they have aliens to create mankind. What is the difference besides this?

All this talk of brow hair is making me peckish. You're missing the deep philosophical subtext. And a touch of coriander in the strawberry vinegarette.

I'm referring to evolution. You people keep saying that "it's only a theory". Do ANY of you know what that means? I'm guessing the answer is a resounding "no".

Do yourselves a favor ok? Drop that outdated book of bronze-age jewish mythology and do some REAL reading for a change. I've added an excellent link that explains, in the simplest of terms, why Evolution is both a fact, and a theory. The site also explains Macro Vs Micro evolution (both of which have been observed) and many other things you are ignorant of.
Please read and think about what you've read. I know none of you are used to that (thinking) but give it a try. You may find it a refreshing change.

Here is the link for the explanation of Evolution as a fact, and as a theory and how it is both (yes, that is possible in the Scientific world)

And this one simply explains how your magic sky-pixie is a figment of your imagination. Nothing more

I think there was one guy that was perfect, and he was the first, and he always existed. Then he created a woman out of...peas and mashed potatos. He began to procreate, but since it was potatos, his children weren't perfect anymore. Now we just keep rolling. At least we solved that, and it's much simpler now, without God.

It's true that Charlton Heston brought us the Ten Commandments, but without Jim Caviezel's sacrifice we couldn't get into heaven could we?

In answering another's question, I realised I needed to ask this myself. Christians reading this - please understand, I've struggled with this for so many years now- if anyone can answer my problem, I can't tell you how happy that'd make me.

I think I believe in a more powerful being- but I'm not sure I like him. I'm a questioning agnostic, I guess. My particular problem with the Christian God is inconsistency and favourtism. This is well illustrated with the story of Moses.

God 'hardened Pharaoh's heart' so he wouldn't let the Hebrews go. If this is true, then not only does God meddle with this man's free will and as such is just as culpable for the sin, but it is because of Pharaoh's unwillingness to let the Hebrews go that God kills every first-born Egyptian. All those innocent lives sacrificed for the sins of one man- one man who was being controlled like a puppet.

How do you square this in your mind?

Hello fellow answerers, I'm Sampson the Elephant.

What do you, the impecunious commoners, feel is the purpose of humanity's existence? Are we to remain saturnine as a culture to a larger, more adavanced universe, or are we all alone in the first place, carefull sanctioned for life by the higher power? What do you think is the answerer the this imponderable question?
