I heard that one of the fathers of "intelligent design" testified under oath in the Dover case that ID actually does NOT meet the minimum standards for a scientific theory... is this true?

Then why do people keep claiming that it does?

I know its highly controversial and bound to spark serious anger among some but I hadn't heard it before and was wondering if anyone else had. Obviously it goes against the teachings of the major religions, thats why I'm not naming any, but... Celibacy was actually made part of certain churches because it was the only way someone could be homosexual and justify not getting married, and even meet other homosexuals. Sorry I can't provide an academic source.

This generation isn't the only generation that has tried to attack the Bible and failed. Generations have come and gone but the Bible is still here. Like it or not, the Bible is here to stay and there's nothing anyone can do about it unless God allows it. I read an article this morning, "There are no atheist in foxholes." Having been deployed to Iraq and witnessing some of the horrors that some of you only read about, I can attest to seeing so-called atheist praying once the body bags started rolling out. What are your thoughts? Oh, and by the way, check the argumentive, rude or belligerent attitudes at the door. Thanks.

I like to meditate on my inner being, my motives, my actions. It makes me wise. I become wiser with seeking the counsel of others. There are those who's opinion on this site I admire and look for their comment. You know who you are. This quote came to my attention this morning after my meditation. Now I am asking for wise counsel.

Listen to the sound of water. Listen to the water running through chasms and rocks. It is the minor streams that make a loud noise; the great waters flow silently.

The hollow resounds and the full is still. Foolishness is like a half-filled pot; the wise man is a lake full of water.

-Sutta Nipata

Thanking you in advance!

Peace and Love

"Firstly you don't know where Hitler went. He could have repented for his sins before his death."

Anyone else think that's enough, if done sincerely, to get Hitler into Heaven?

While all of his Jewish victims, being "unrepentant unbelievers" (Rev 21:8) would go to Hell?

I am wondering why so many Atheists & Agnostics come to see what us Christians or religious people are talking about, since you don't believe in God or Heaven or Hell or the devil. Are you looking for an answer to something, Why not waste your time somewhere else, on another site,it is strange you claim you don't believe in God, but yet you spend most of your time on this site, A true Christian will not be changed by your ideals. Just wondering what is you reason for searching the religions site. I know now, I will get some hateful answers, Thats OK

Many times when I ask a question about Christian practice, some respondents reply "Even though some people say they're Christian, they're really not." It does lead one to the conclusion that there are lots of Christianities.

This fraternal rejection exists within Judaism, within Buddhism, and (all too prevelently in the Middle East) within Islam, and no doubt within all large faith or philosophy groups. One segment claims ownership of an undeniable "Truth" others within their own faith traditions find quite easy to deny. Examples of this pervaid Yahoo! Answers as well as the news media.

So what is it like for you to find yourself on the outs with some segment of your own faith family?

What particular things do you believe that stop the dialogue in its tracks?

Do you ever keep quiet because you fear that others in your closest faith community will show you the door?

this might sound silly, but i have accepted christ, recently and am going to church. can i take communion or do i have to be "baptised"?

I live in South Carolina which seems like it is a primarily southern baptist state, I encounter many bible pushers that try to sway me of my thoughts. Now that i have started using Yahoo answers I have realized that many of you are bible pushers. When people ask for information about something (such as the wiccan religion) why do you find it necessary to preach to them? they are just broadening their horizons. I am not a disbeliever but i am 18, and I was not brought up religious. I do believe that in time i will find a religion I can trust in but I would rather know about my religion and not be a hypocrite as many others are, so please dont preach to me. If often makes people not want to be religious honestly. Why do people insist on pushing their religion on others?

...the same fate as Hitler?

Rev 21:8
"But the fearful, and UNBELIEVING, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death."

So Hindus, Buddhists, Moslems, and Hitler get the same fate?

Any Hindu is as bad as Hitler?

If the Virgin Mary is so venerated for Catholics as to call he the mother of God, why there are no prophecies about her in The New Testament that some day she would be so important?

I used to work with a guy that would call a psychic hotline just about everyday. He would believe everything they told him and used that as his guide for relationships, money, just about everything! Needless to say I don't work with him anymore! WEIRDO!

...why eternally punish us in Hell?

If Hell wasn't created as a threat (because God won't let us in if we're just trying to get there to avoid Hell), why create Hell (or at least the Hell described in the Bible with the wailing and gnashing of teeth)?

Revelations 21: 8 (abbreviated) 'Gandhi=Hitler'

Gandhi deserves the same fate as Hitler? Is this your God's idea of "justice"?
