If God gave us free will, then why didn't we choose to be born or die? Also on that note, is it possible that "free will" is only virtual free will, seeing that our choices are truly limited in life. And if we had free will, then that pretty much cancels out God's will, which is the overall will to be carried out, no? And why is God such a psychopath in the Old Testament, killing everyone all the time. Could it be possible that the "mark of Cain" white Christians give for the reason people have dark skin be attributed entirely to living in environements that require, darker, thicker skin? Did Samson really kill 30,000 Philistines with only the jawbone of an ***? Is it possible human life was influenced by an extra-terrestrial presence (El Astronauto in Chile, the pyramids; Egyptian, Cambodian, and Aztec, Easter Island, the Legend of Quezzoqawatl, etc.)? Was Jesus maybe just a jew who saw and understood all the corruption present in the church during that time;a rebel in thought?

Lets see, 4 wives per husband and they have an average of 5 kids per wife. Look at the countries with the highest birth rates. They are almost all Muslim run countries. Are they trying to breed an army or are they just trying to increase the world's poverty level?

This question may sound stupid but I am asking this out of true sincerity.

If I was muslim and ate pork today or commited some other sin against Allah, how would I get forgiveness?
Would I simply pray and ask for forgiveness or would I have to go through some process?

The Book of Enoch says the angels fell to earth for their lust of the daughters of men. Their offspring are the evil spirits ranging the earth. Angels appeared in human form to Abraham and Lot.

Lets say someone makes up a religion. And in this religion you have to kill seven people in order to become a priest or something. Would congress have to do something about it? I mean, it IS killing. Yet it's all a part of this religion. Can congress intercede for the person getting killed?? Or do they have to step back b/c of their freedom of religion and freedom to practice it??

Just curious and unsure.....

God bless you.

Is it because the Bible is full of so much crap?

In every other area of life, critical thinking, and thinking independently help tremendously. Why is it when it comes to God Himself I have to supress my brain's natural functions, lest I burn in Hell?

All of this Biblical crap is quite bitter for the ol' noggin to take in.

I appreciate your responce to my question "why baptize infants?I also want to clarify that I don't hate catholics.When I was a child my parent would correct me when I did wrong , at that time I thought they hated me.That attitude follows us today . When someone says your wrong that means they hate you?No,Isaiah did well when the lord moved him to say "Learn to do well;seek judgement,relieve the oppressed;judge the fatherless,plead for the widow."Isaiah 1:17 Its just not are nature to do well and in a world where everyone thinks your not to judge someone hast to come forward and say thats NOT RIGHT . I thank you for the reproof I need help from all my brothers and sisters in Christ.However I will continue to remind people of the truth.Peter said ;I will not be negligent to put you always in remembrance of these things, though you know them,."Timothy was charged to preach the word;be instant in season,out of season;REPROVE,REBUKE,EXORT,WITH ALL LONSUFFRING and DOCTRINE 2Tim.4:1a-2

raise them, do you honestly think they can raise anything other than war and taxes? I mean look what a great job they have done balancing the budget. Do we want our children taught this type of math and logic?

I'm seeing some Christians telling other groups of people different from them to not post in this section of the site, like THEY own it? Where does it say that only yall can post here? Nowhere. This is the "religion and spirituallty board," not the "Christian and Jesus" section. This is a section for people of all kinds of beliefs to post, not just you all.

This is only for the Christians who believe that only they have a right to post here, and no one else.

I personally used to believe in God and his son Jesus (I still kind of do), but as I got older I started to see things differently. I have seen some History channel programs on how some scriptures were taken out of the Bible. That makes me think that if priests or whatever could take scriptures out then what prevents them for adding stuff in. The Bible was was written by men, and that's what bothers me the most. Also I'm going to go off topic, but it's still relevant to my question. Howcome we as humans didn't get to live with the dinosaurs, and if we were present at that time why are we still here? Wasn't much of life destroyed by that commet during that time? My only conclusion to this is that we somehow came out of something (evolution). Think about it we're not entirely different form animals. what seperates us from them is that we have a bigger brain which made us create our languages which helps us to communicate. I believe in god because I can't understand emotions.

Does the following reflect how you feel about religion and politics:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

Why do people still claim that the bible is innerant when we know it has hundreds of contradictions and historical innacuracies? (Don't believe me? see link below)

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/


For instance:

2 Thessalonians 2:11
For this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie.

God lies in this passage, right? and yet...

Titus 1:2
In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.

And yet suddenly he can't lie.

Should they be able to tell us how to educate them? Or what faith they may or may not be raised in? I say no to both of these. These are my children not the governments. In the U.S. it is supposed to be government of the people, by the people, for the people. This involvement in our lives resembles Ancient Sparta and this is not what our Founding Fathers wanted in a government. How do you feel about it?

Peace Be With You,
Debra

Before each nations needed to be strong in front of the enemies, so each nations created their fable to control citizen. Like you have to make many children . So that is why we are not supose to protect ourselves in a sexual relation. But now it's different.And all the bad things the religion did to us( like confine Some scientists just because they found contradictions) Please if you Believe in god don't go to the church because you re suporting the worst thing ever. Just keep believe (not in the bible but in god) and make what YOU think is good .Im sure if there is heaven you will have more chance to go in than following stupid rules. Thanks that was my last massage.
