Have anyone read Waiting for Godot? If not, Beckett makes an allusion to two theives in John where one is saved and the other is damned, but he doesn't say why? Does anyone know?

How does one make sense out of a god sending his son (also a god) to suffer as an outcast and then be brutally killed in order to open up the gates of heaven? How does a rational person buy into that?

I was raised in a family with a ton of different religions and different sects. From Buddhism, Catholocism, Baptists, Muslim, Juddahism, Wiccan, etc. Oh yeah my great gradparent were cherokee and so were considered pagan. So you can imagine I have had a really hard time deciding who is right/wrong. I have spent a lot of time studying religions. I think everyone thinks that theirs is the right one etc. Here are my conclusions and what I believe.After studying the dead sea scrolls, I came to the conclusion that the bible can only be read for "lessons" but not as fact. There is a God or Creator. There are angels and we also have guardian angels and people from past lives who help us.
We are all re-incarnated. Including Jesus (as Adam, Elijah, Moses, (the first Buddha and many others) We should respect all teachings of God not just that of the Bible etc. This includes current writings. Hell is more of a state of mind. Not permanant.

Is the "Satanic Bible" or any other book sized work of Anton Lavey in public domain. If so, where can I find them on the internet?

Just stumbled across this refutation of Pascal's Wager ("Why don't you believe anyway....just in case?" to the uninitiated). It's an interesting concept -- in order to assure that only morally good people go to heaven, he purposely stacks the deck to give the appearance of either no god or an evil god, then sits back to see what you do....will you remain a moral person even under threat of torture by a cosmic bully; or will you kowtow to someone who may very likely evil, out of fear of punishment or hope of reward? Check it out for yourself, and let's hear what you think...:

simple as that. my friends profile showed what the human body is made up of, and how science has proved that there is no God. Also, reading on here I've seen people saying how the bible and all of that is mythical. Can someone please give me a couple reasons to keep believing in God, and another reason as to why God IS real.

I'm 54, male, live alone, no kids. My life is mess and sometimes I think about giving it up. But I got to knw a boy who´s now 15. His family situation is kinda bad, his mom died when he was 2 yo and he lives with a friend of mine who he calls mom. Fr about a year I've helped this kid as I can. I became a kind of father fgure to him. Now there's a link beteween us, I worry about the boy, he's part f my life.Some days ago he was really down and I told him life is a gift from God, things will get better, he's not alone in his teen years, etc. A lot of things I myself don't belive at age 54
This boy has been a wondeful experience for a man who couldnt have kids, but I was on the verge of taking my own life. I'm still a very depressed man. If I take my life, how will this impact the boy? I dont understand why God put this boy in the life of a troubled man like me.

Islamic history tells that when prophet Muahmemd conquered Mecca, he gave a list of 10 names for people whom should be killed wherever they were found, even if they were inside the Ka'aba (the most holy place for Msulims). Among those people was a woman with the name of Sara. The reason prophet Muhammed killed her was because she went to him once asking for some charity because she was broke, and prophet Muhammed gave her money and food on hope she might convert to Islam, but she took the money and food and returned back to her town without converting to Islam.

That story raises many questions:
1- Is refusing to conver to islam should be punished by DEATH?
2- Was being a Muslim a condition to receive charity?
3- Why did prophet Muhammed violate the many Quranic verses that gave immune for people who enter the Ka'aba (the most holy place for Muslims)?

SINGLE (not married, never been married, no kids etc). It's most women's dream to get married and have a family but in reality not everyone will. Ladies, how do you deal with life being single over 30? the loneliness? your friends marrying and moving on? buying a house? How do you truly to live a fulfilled life without being the"old maid"?

Many blind religion people here claim that Jesus was a Prophet asking how a man without sin can exist or other silly questions like "Is he the son of GOD?"

First of all if your are a muslim don't bother discussing the aspects of Christianity or Jesus himself.. Would you claim the Allah is a prophet? NO! So shut up....

Secondly Jews are still waiting for the Messiah.. Jesus was the Messiah but did not accept him as Israel was expecting a War Messiah promised by God to save them from their enemies... Keep waiting Jews, but don't stay up too late...

So first of all try and clerify in your minds ( non christians of course) about Who Can be Called a Prophet and why?

Professional answers and thinking should point out that Jesus wasn't a Prophet but was what He said he was: Your Own God!
