try to imagine where even God came from ? I don't think he just all of a sudden existed. Had to start somehow...

if one were to believe that in the bible god spoke to people and you believe it.... then why today if one were to tell people the same thing would you be looking for the nearest in paitent mental health facility?

Its because u believe that Jesus was A son of God & not THE son of God. See the difference? U believe that when u die u will become a son or daughter of God just like Jesus is which would make his sacrifice meaningless because u'd be considered his equal.

Check out this site even if u dont agree with me (It'll show that there is no archaeological evidence for the claims made in the Book of Mormon) http://christiananswers.net/q-cc/cc-archaeology.html. This is NOT an attack. Im just informing.

By now, many of you are seasoned veterans of the Answers R&S section. We've all seen how theists and atheists alike can ignite a debate with a simple question, a statement in the form of a question, or in a response to someone else's response.

Do you perceive that there is some kind of gnostic double-standard at work here? Is what's good enough for the goose good enough for the gander?

Is it fair for an inflammatory remark to be pounced upon by one's detractors? Is it fair that those making inflammatory remarks get pounced? Is it fair for any of them to cry "foul"?

Is it a case of "an eye for an eye", not "turning the other cheeck", "survival of the fittest", or a war of intellect?

Does anyone take a step back and think, "Okay. That person is wrong. I'm right, but they're just not worth the effort. They'll never change."?

Enough with the athiest talk. I mean come on...
I have never condemned another person for their faith
or un-faith, is it so hard for others to do? It's really sad
when Athiests are MORE accepting of you than OTHER
chrisitans ( not that athiests are close minded or anything )
Of course they always say "The mormons (LDS) arent
REAL christians"

Why can't we all get along?
Of course if you don't practice exactly how THEY
practice you are EVIL. Especially when they
say " im not judging you, but the mormons are all going to hell"
LOL! The nerve!
I usually say " well, i dont think either of us are going
to hell" that usually gets a good eye roll.

If you want people to accept your beliefs, shouldn't
you naturally accept others?

Or am I living in a dream world here?

For Christians this question must seem.....well wierd but for me it has merit.

I notice that anytime i am talking to a pastor or i hear a sermon or i am reasoning with any Christian of any denomination about any topic they always find some way to condem sex, or they say "i know that your young and you will get tempted to have sex"

In the bible there are many comandments and to break most of them is not a big deal but once sex is involved it is the end of the world.
1.) Catholic Priest dont have sex so that "they can remain pure"
2.) Mary was a virgin so "she was pure"
3.) Thinking about sex is a sin but thinking about murder, robbery etc is cool.
4.)Some Pastors say married people should pray before sex.
5.)Some belived that if Jesus had Sex then he could'nt have been devine
6.)Sex before marrage is a sin
7.)Some believed that The first sin was that Adam and eve had sex and that Eve had sex with the devil. (another discussion)
8.)Fallen angels had sex with women.

I recently read a question on here from a girl who was worried about her sweet sixteen. It involved her father placing a limit on the budget for the party at something like $300,000 instead of making the budget unlimited as she wanted. I hold nothing against this girl and my question isn't about her.

I remembered this question today and it got me thinking. That is probably the biggest thing on that girl's mind right now. It's true I don't know anything about her. For all I know she may have a lot of trouble in her life. But my point is that there are people like that out there. People who will go their entire lives with little to worry about except such material things.

So how then can it be fair that there are also people out there asking questions about how can they esacpe their country, how can they get an abortion without anyone knowing, what can they do about their alcoholic family member? If there is a God out there, why did he create a world with such terrible unfairness?

feel like they are at constant battle with the way other "Christians" represent Christianity, but are Christians themselves. So that makes them feel like everytime they tell someone they are a Christian they have to defend themselves right away? Why can't those who want to be genuine have a new name?

In his book The Origin of Species, he wrote:

"Why, if species have descended from other species by fine gradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable transitional forms? Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?… But, as by this theory innumerable transitional forms must have existed, why do we not find them embedded in countless numbers in the crust of the earth?… But in the intermediate region, having intermediate conditions of life, why do we not now find closely-linking intermediate varieties? This difficulty for a long time quite confounded me".

- Charles Darwin, The Origin of Species: By Means of Natural Selection or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life, London: Senate Press, 1995, p. 134.

then how do you explain psychic phenomenon ? Premonition, precognition, ESP...it does exist and so how do people's minds somehow predict the future or have glimpses of things yet to come, or some people have intuitions about things going on in their lives or others' lives. If there's no Creator...how and why would a human being have this ability ? I don't think we'd have those things if there was no reason for it...I think it would literally be impossible for the brain to have these powers if we were all here randomly through evolution. I don't fully understand it all...but this ability humans have is one of the reasons I believe in something greater than we can imagine. Do you see what I mean ? Think about it...SOME people have special abilities and sometimes they are spiritual abilities...how would someone have knowledge of what is yet to happen, if we had no spiritual purpose on this earth and we are just here because of what the atheists and evolutionists believe ?

I ask this because from what I've seen on the board this does not seem so and I wish it was. As a Pagan I wish others would stop telling me I'm going to burn in hell, its very hurtful.

Do you respect the religious paths of others with out interfering or do you believe that your way is "THE" way and you will try to change any opinions that do not match up with yours?

I was driving down the hgwy the other night and saw a girl in her 20s stumble and fall on the side of the road. She was very beautiful and very drunk. She was dressed very scantly and I offered a ride. She jumped in and begged me to take her to the liquor store. i said no..Her whole side of her face was bruised and scrpaed like she had been dragged on the pavement. She said a guy did it and demanded help in going back to where ever to continue her drinking. She was like demon posessed. She cried buckets and for days I felt so oppressed after this. Why do girls like this fall into this ? Why cant they escape that lifestyle ? I wanted to help her but Im a puny toothpick myself...I felt so helpless....

First, He flooded the earth, yet saved a few to repopulate the planet. Then He sent His Son to die for our sins to save us from eternal death.

What exactly is His purpose for keeping us around, I wonder?

Because if I am to be used, I'd like to know why. Don't you?
