What does it mean to be beautiful, and what does it mean to be righteous.

Close your eyes. Picture a woman. Who cares what physical appearance this person has. She brushes her teeth so theres basic hygene. Who cares what color hair or eyes or shape or size.

This woman works in a hospital. She spends 40 hours a week trying to do her hospital job. She helps peoples lifes medically when at this job.

During hurricane Katrina she spent 9 days straight at the Astrodome distributing medicine and love.

Going forward she is going to be volunteering her time to help people outside of her hospital job.

She is generous with her love. She reads people and responds.

Her intelligence is high, but that is cause she has good genetics and parents who helped her grow and mature.

She runs a few miles a day.

She does not believe in God. What qualifies any of you, question for everyone, to call this woman, unrighteous? She is worthy of your love.

It is not that anger and desire are inherently evil or that we should feel ashamed when they arise. It is a matter of seeing them as the delusions that they are: distorted conceptions that paint a false picture of reality. They are negative because they lead to unhappiness and confusion.

I have done some seraching on the internet and the best answer I have found, is "church leaders", but I am looking more specifically which church leaders if it was in fact church leaders, which I do tend to believe.

I appreicate all input and answers. But please let's not turn this into the book is correct or not correct question. I am not here to change your believes and you aren't going to change mine. I am just looking for some honest answers to a question I have.

By the way, if you do know would you please offer references to where you found the answer.

so even if God sent down Angels or let the dead talks to people they will still not believe except with a permission from God?

Quran 6:111
[111] And even if We had sent down unto them angels, and the dead had spoken unto them, and We had gathered together all things before their very eyes, they would not have believed, unless Allâh willed, but most of them behave ignorantly.

Congresswoman Katherine Harris (R-FL) recently stated that God did not intend for the United States to be a "nation of secular laws" and that a failure to elect Christians to political office will allow lawmaking bodies to "legislate sin."

Is this how you feel? Are Christians the only people who are moral in your view?

Catholics believe in works and prayer after death to hopefully get to heaven among other things.

Christians believe that they are sinners, Jesus as God died on a cross and rose again to save those that call upon Him for salvation.

Catholics can't be christian by definition.

Please notice that I'm on my best behavior today and am staying impartial on this (for now) and am just trying to facilitate discussion.


Please read the answers that people provided for thee basis of their (dis)belief in god(s):

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/?qid=20060831085442AAeTJtR&r=w

I'm not trying to get you to attack specific answers, but what do you think IN GENERAL about:

1) the bases the atheists provided
2) the bases the theists provided
and
3) the bases the agnostics provided


Is there a theme that you see?
Does this help you understand the difference between these 3 general groups of people?


Thanks for playing along.
I think that this is actually becoming a fruitful discussion.

Believer or unbeliever... shouldn't everyone have read and have a working knowledge of the book that has had the most influence on Western Civilization.
I can see censoring Lott's drunken adventures with his two daughters from eight year olds in a Sunday school class.
I can see side stepping Noah and Ham. (That's if anything actually happened between them. The Jews have been puzzling over this for centuries before the Talmud was written.)
I know reading comprehension is limited especially for those below the 100 IQ, but from reading some of the crap (bullshit actually) posted here, but weren't these people taught something?

Or did god create thousands of different strains of each virus so that he could realise a newer version once an antiboiotic is found?

According to the biblethumpers there is no such thing as evolution so that MUST mean that god is up there scraping new viruses off a petri dish all the time.

God is Psycotic

I have tried to talk to GOD and to Jesus sense I was a kid, and I get nothing.

I hear people always say that they talk to GOD, so why won't he talk to me? I even try listening with my heart, and THAT doesn't work! I have tried reading the bible, torah, and even the tiny fortunes in the cookies. Still, nothing.

How do I get HIS attention? Do I need to yell??

If I die tomorrow, am I screwed?
