In some local chinese funeral cremations, why is it that the surviving family members burn paper money printed "Hell's money" if they prayed for the deceased to go to heaven? Doesnt make sense even it is considered symbolic offering.

The Catholic church has its own manmade set of written policies, some of which collide the Bible.

There may be written suggestions that a celebate male would be better, but not mandatory.

The Catholic Church needs to see that old, elderly men, aren't the only ones who can hold a position in the Catholic church, especially Pope. We need a pope who is in his 20's or 30's too.

Why does it seem that as soon as things start looking up in life, everything comes crashing down. I have a hard time keeping faith at times like this. How much bad luck can one person have?

Do you really want so badly to not go to Heaven? Or not want anyone else to? Why in the world would you not want to spend eternity with your Creator? Don't say it's because He doesn't exist...if you do you're lying to yourself. And I'm sick of being hated on for being a Christian...Lay OFF!!!

When I learned that a mass murderer would go to heaven if he repents but a good honest person who helps people all his life won't because he doesn't attend church.

Ivolunteer in a Christian based outreach center we try to teach people on god and show them what a wonderful life there is in god never NEVER would we berate someone it seems an awful lot of Christians are just attacking non believers is this how you will bring them to god? Is this what Jesus did to people who did not believe in him? Did he call them names berate and push them aside? NO he helped them showed them the way. How can you call yourselves Christians and do this at the same time. I sit here with a youth group watching these questions and throwing some in to see what the response is and it disgusting. I could not imagine doing that to somebody. How do you justify it? Is this what you think god wants?

Religions mean every beliefs even the ones with many Gods, i know you one god people really hate many gods beliefs.
Oh the land is not that holy anymore if you keep killing people on it. What a shame that beliefs can lead to murder.
Ok if you think it's greed that leads to war, don't you guys watch any thing that happens around the world? Why are people so arrogant? There's a holy war happening right now!!! so i think it this is cause by religion. if you people think it's not, can guys go tell them to stop it. world peace y'all! maybe the people over should be allow to make porn or have sex in the streets maybe it'll calm them down. You know from my studies, no sex means bad temper. lets send those sex olympics girls, i heard they can do 600 or 700 guys...well thats my idea of stopping the war.

oh yea you guys dont agree with me, you're contributing to terrorists.
also leave this country after you disagree with me. we dont need ur kind here we got mexicans who want to live here.

Is the coincidence merely a random intersection of space and time (a co-incident) to give us what appears to be a meaningful event? What do you think? If you want your answer chosen then don't belittle the question - answer it honestly.
