The cave men shouldn't get credit for fire either. Hmm, sounds like a very selfish and arrogant god.

What do you think? It seems that all the early Church fathers taught this. For example, St. Ignatius of Antioch (a student of the apostle, John, who also traveled some with Sts. Peter and Paul and was appointed Bishop of Antioch by St. Peter, himself);

"See that ye all follow the bishop, even as Jesus Christ does the Father, and the presbytery (priests)as ye would the apostles; and reverence the deacons, as being the institution of God. Let no man do anything connected with the Church without the bishop. Let that be deemed a proper Eucharist, which is [administered] either by the bishop, or by one to whom he has entrusted it. Wherever the bishop shall appear, there let the multitude [of the people] also be; even as, wherever Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church. It is not lawful without the bishop either to baptize or to celebrate a love-feast; but whatsoever he shall approve of, that is also pleasing to God, so that everything that is done may be secure and valid."

The Journal of Religion and Society http://moses.creighton.edu/JRS/2005/2005-11.html

This was a huge study (database of 800 million people) of the top 20 modern democratic countries. The USA overwhelmingly is the most "religious" (ie belief in god, literal truth of the bible, church attendance, belief in the paranormal etc) and is also overwhelmingly the most dysfunctional of the modern 1st world democracies.(ie highest rate of homicide, teen pregnancy, abortion, infant and teenage mortality)

There's this dude that I really hate, wish death on him, want to see dead. I've said really bad thing's about him. I want to throw up at the thought of him, he sickens me. I really hate him. I would drive a car over him. I talk about his lazy eye. I tell people his business. His mom being an acholie and his dad a crack head. He used to be homeless. He's a pot head and nothing but a drug dealer. He'll never amount to anything. He's an in the closet ****. He has herpes. I really hate this guy. I hope that he burns in hell. I want him to kiss my behind. Am I gone to go to hell becuase of him and what is really happening? Do I have the right to blame him? Am I a bad person? I want to avoid him, I am scared of him. I think that he is really iggnorant and disrespectful. He's ugly, stinks, smells, he's trash. But yet I was with him. I was with him for all the bad reasons anyway. I should've never had feelings for him. I really do hate him. If I end up in hell would it be his fault or mine?

Didn't your religion originate when Muhammad met an angel or messenger of Allah in a cave? Don't you think that's a bit easy to fake..

Why is Hell not a paradise for the evil? God must play a part to force the Devil's hand...right?

I am really really broke and was wondering if I could sell my soul on Ebay? It's slightly tarnished but still ok. How much could I get for it, and would the religous folks out there chip in and buy it to save me or are they too cheap.

I don't mean this as a loaded question. I'm trying to see if there may have been a political motivation could have swayed some of the Gospel-writers to fabricate/embellish their accounts.

(Christians, please be gentle! I'm a nice guy - really, I am!)

Seems like Heaven would be a better fit, if you really wanted them to "suffer".

I understand that religion may imply that you have to observe some days and make some rituals, but even without those acts, the simple fact that you believe in something supernatural it makes people religious regardless of the fact that they avoid to be labeled. On the other hand, I read that mindless people call atheist or agnostics still believers, therefore they want to label everyone on the Earth as belonging to a religion... Can you bring some clarity in this?

What is a Hail Mary? How would I do one? What are they used for? Is it only for Catholics?

Do you believe that it is possible for the eternal and timeless sacrifice of Jesus (God in the flesh) to have been applied to Mary before her conception if God wanted it to be that way?

The first woman was created by God without original sin.

Before Eve listened to the devil and sinned the first sin of mankind by saying yes to the devil, she was only called "woman".

Jesus called Mary "woman".

Mary said yes to God and no to the devil.

Remember that Eve was created without original sin.

Who do you believe was superior? Mary or Eve?
