(I hope that's spelt correctly)!
I know its the markings of the crucifixion. (The wounds in hands and thorns around the head). But i was wondering if someone other than Jesus could bear the same marks? And what would it mean if they did?

Should both Darwin's theory of evolution, which most scientists believe in, as well as the theory that Darwin's theory is wrong and the basic concept that some kind of Supreme being* creating everything, which maybe 1-2% of the scientists believe in, also be taught in public school or at least something written in the school science book that states as follows: "most scientists believe in Darwin's theory of evolution, but there are other scientists who belive by their observation of the world and by their inference the theory that the world was created by some kind of Supreme being* and that the theory of evolution has never been proven."

*Not the teaching of any particular faith or religion.

I've asked this before but only get unworkable answers. The last time I felt like killing myself, I told someone (a catholic preist) who subsequently called the police, who in turn brought me to a hospital.

They did nothing to help me there, only pumped me full of drugs, watched me and kicked me out when I couldn't pay and state assitance rejected me. They are now sueing me for $11,000. There are no answers for me there.

I got to AA, but have been completely ostracized by the people there. All of the people I know, also know my ex-girlfriend, whos is very popular, especially with all the men, married included, now that she's single.

Last night I went to a meeting to ask for help, she and others were there. None of the guys would help me, but plenty were available to go out with her for her anniversary.

My prayers go unanswered. I just want someone to sit next to me for a while. I'm trying againg tonite.

If it doesn't work, I have to kill myself. I can't take t

can not be good - that they have to be evil. I believe these were people who were "christians" -- I am trying to do some research. I want to find out WHERE in the Bible it states that souls that are with us have to be evil and can't be anything else. I find it hard to believe. This is a place where I don't care if you quote from the Bible. If there are christians who believe otherwise (that they can be good) and your reasons for it too. Thank you.

This is to clarify a few things that I have read that are incorrect.

People believe that if you convert into a Christian you have to stop using your brain and sacrifice your intellect and ignore the rational processes. This is a myth.

Many of the most brilliant minds in history belonged to Christians. Many were important leaders, influential and famous writers, investigators, missionaries the list goes on. Examples are Martin Luther King (civil rights leader), the writer C.S Lewis, Lew Wallace, Frank Morrison, Deitrich Bonhoeffer, Francis Schaeffer, Apostle Paul, Saint Augustine, Martin Luther(german theologian),John Calvin and many many more.

Look for the autobiography of these people like C.S Lewis and Lew Wallace and you will be surprised that they were non-believers just like you and realized he really exist.

The conversion to Christianity doesn't affect the intellect of a person, it complements it.

Do you know about the Holy Fournity Revised Version(Revised in the Holy Council of Pissia)??
GOD THE GRANDPA was a very mean-minded and jealous God.
He tortured and masscred loads of people upto 10 generations because they didn't think him COOL. He had a son (God Papa). He was a bit cold tempered and diplomatic than his father. So, he selected a group people as his chosen people and screwed them.
Later he also became insane and thought an alternate method of becoming COOL. He send his Uncle a Bird named HOLY PHANTOM with some of his sperms to make pregnant a woman from that group. Thus was born GOD THE HIPPIE. God Papa managed to make the HIPPIE suffer and declared that--"I soooooo
love you that I made my son suffer like a pig."
Now those who won't recognize that fact and say that I AM SOOOO COOL will be roasted eternally in my sadistic barbeque stove.

You can't take a passage from a book and say it's the truth of all things. doesn't work that way. it's word on a page, not you physically showing it to me in action, no visual besides your imagination to expand on it, so how can you dare say 'you' know the absolute truth when all you're doing is simply reading words off a page in a book?

I don't take Dr Seuss and start quoting green eggs and ham saying it's the truth, and then when you ask how and why, say 'because it is so'.....would you fall for that? NO

The man known as Paul, also called the 13th apostle, was originally named Saul. Until he was about 30 years old, Saul was an outspoken critic of the new cult of rebel Jews following the teachings of the Rabbi Yeshua, who we now know of as Jesus. Paul later became the first evangelist.

Saul's anti Christian stance was abruptly reversed when on the road to Damascus, he had a vision. The Bible says he lost his sight for three days, and when he recovered, he was a convert.(Acts, chapter 9)

In Damascus, Saul began to preach, but the locals drove him out of town. He went to Jerusalem and tried to preach there, but Jesus' followers didn't trust him either. He escaped to his home town, Tarsus, in Cilicia, also known as Cesarea.

Anyway, was saul (paul) a prophet of God?

Why should we take his word for anything?

Jesus (Old Skool) followers didn't trust him either?

Was Pauls interpretation of Christianity based on Paganism?

"Ancient religion of the god Mithras?"

I mean, really, since it's totally unknown and incomprehensible to know besides 'faith' or whatever you create in your head to make sense of it, it's true that we all will very well die and become nothing after death, no matter how bad, good, or whatever we were here in life, we die and thats' that...deal with it

How can you atheist deny and mock the force after a miracle like this? There is more historic evidence for the existence of Luke Skywalker then for any other historical person a long time ago in a galaxy far far away.

Prove to me that god exists. Don't use any bible quotes, and don't tell me that I just have to believe in it. On the other hand, prove that he doesn't exist, without using slander or just telling me your feelings on christianity. Let's see some proof from either side.

them exactly what they want and are in fact losing your own argument?

This question was motivated by my other question.See:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqgYfDran_LQj.LSAjbQBgjsy6IX?qid=20060728144358AAa86v0

You see, when someone says something about your religion that might be offensive they are doing it for two reasons.
1.They don't believe in your religion
and/or
2.They want to get you angry and see what kind of garbage you might spout at them.

So, in effect, you're giving them exactly what they want.If you believe in your religion you don't need their approval and you don't need their validation and you shouldn't care what they have to say, right?

You could say anything about me or my family or my beliefs in an insulting way.Instead of becoming angry I would just laugh at your ignorance and leave it at that.I wouldn't respond negatively or report it or anything like that.I might tell you the truth.But I wouldn't get upset or offended.
