then what is the point of following "God's word." Is it really going to make a difference?

even if their belief is not the same as yours. or do you only get angry when your religious group is the one being discriminated against?

Since the Bible instructs us to adhere to both SACRED TRADITION and SACRED SCRIPTURE ("Therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught, either by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." 2 Thess 2:15 - See also 1 Cor. 11:2) was the Bible born from TRADITION or was TRADITION born of the Bible?

It is obvious to me that most video games are fictional, take City of Villains, a game that I play. You create a Villain with "Powers" that no human can posses for they are fictional. The missions you do that are suppose to be crimes are really not something a human would ever do because you fight characters that like the one you created have fictional "powers". Yet some religions would put a stamp or seal on this type of game and would want to ban or censor it. Logically none of the things in most video games would be physically posible for a human to do, so why would it be censored or banned?

i've been deeply moved by my experience of browsing

http://www.godchecker.com/
Godchecker.com - Your Guide To The Gods. Mythology with a twist!

It is a project to profile the gods of the human species. A dossier is included, along with a little section called 'vital statistics', where you can compare each god objectively.

I am amazed. it gives me such a strong feeling of understanding humans' belief in supernatural beings. having them all there together on one site, with descriptions that err on the side of the comical and are refreshingly devoid of over enthusiastic reverence (that so often seems hollow) ... i have such a feeling of knowing, for sure, that there is no one true god. there are thousands, as it says.

and don't we humans have fantastic imaginations! the demons are way better than in any pc game!

also, note the common theme of gods being immortal and/or allowing us to be immortal. i think this is the basis of religious belief.

Im not arguing the point that God can do whatever he wants to do but what benefit of the human race does God get a son and call him Jesus. How can I relate to Almighty God and the son he wishes to have. Wouldnt it just be simple to call Jesus God directly. Jesus never directly stated he was God. Jesus only seemingly implied it through proverbs and cryptic sayings. That whole "I AM" passage is prime example, Jesus hinted at it but he never stood on a house top and yelled explictly " I AM GOD" It was enough for Peter , one of Christs prime followers, to say Jesus was the son of God and Jesus credited him with divine revelation above his fellows. So what am I missing something, If so show me someone.

(I'm into odd questions today, forgive me.)
Serious Christian answers only please. This question is not open for debate for non-believers.

About a half year ago, I had a dream with Jesus in it. I didn not see his face (as in most my dreams) but I knew it was Him. We were in the Holy City, in some building I would consider worn and aged.
He told me that I needed to get out of the building because He was going to push over the house of Judah with just his finger.

This is BEFORE I knew that Jesus came from the house of Judah.
Is this just my mind focused on Jesus or something else? I was reading mostly OT at the time, but nothing that was always saying the name Judah.

I've also heard that catholics believe that the only book that can be stacked on top of the Bible is another Bible. A nun told me these things.

Isn’t it incumbent for the giver of a gift to be responsible for whom he gives that gift? And isn’t the giver of a gift blameworthy if he gives gifts to those whom he knows will abuse those gifts? Should we make drugs available to 8 year olds and alcohol available to 6 year olds? Would you give a razor blade to a two year old?

Why do some people think christians never lie and they never do bad things? Im not saying theres anything bad about christians but how could some people just belive people they dont even know just because of the god they belive in?

Matthew 1:20 says that God the Holy Ghost was the Father, while Romans 15:6, 2 Corinthians 11:31, and Ephesians 1:3 says that God the Father was the Father of Christ?

when with all the scientific and medical technology today, the average life expectancy of a man or woman (living in the U.S.) is only to the mid- to late-seventies? (Not being biased, it's just that this is a statistic that I am most familiar with.)

I know that people like Abraham were exceptional in many ways - I am not denying that - so is living so long yet another exception? I mean, man, Abraham only lived to be 175 years old. (Or was he 205 years old?)

And then there's Methuselah, believed to be oldest person at 969 years of age (Gensis 5:27). And he fathered Lamech (father of Noah) when he was 187 years old. What did he do that God allowed him to live so long?

In the modern world, the oldest person died at 122 years of age (Jeanne Calment as noted in the Guiness Book of World Records). (And no, I'm not comparing the authority of these two books.)

Were the lengths of years marked differently?

What secret did these men have that allowed them to live so long?

To say God’s nature is love and he wanted to share his love with us doesn’t help for two reasons, 1) Most of us will end up in hell, which means he knowingly created heaven for the minority on the screams of billions of people who end up in hell; 2) If life was already perfect for God, then God did not need to share any more love with anyone else. Why break this purported perfect harmony for the pain of dealing with us and the pain of those who end up in hell?

If you tell me about leprechauns and how you hope to find a pot of gold someday, and I tell you "that's just asinine, go away". Do I then owe you a proof for the nonexistence of leprechauns, or is the fact there isn't a shred of evidence to support the case for leprechauns, combined with the fact that leprechauns don't make any sense enough evidence to conclude they don't exist?

How many of you aleprechaunists feel you owe some nutjob who believes in leprechauns such a disproof?
