I have been around these religous people so much that I am beginning to realize my own stupidity. I have begun to become aware of a certain divine creator. How could I be so ignorant, of course the Flying Spaghetti Monster created the earth! I think we should consider saving our souls and stopping global warming.

RAmen.

ok so I dont believe the whole "immaculate" story but....
Why would God put his son in an unmarried thirteen year old girl?
What kind of sick message does that give ?

I recently went to a youth group gathering with one of my friends (last sunday) when he invited me. They did the standard routine: pray to god, sing some songs, etc etc. And I was quite enjoying the free chicken they were giving out when I started to realize that the only thing the pastor would say to the ceiling (I'm supposing it was directed at God) was "Lord, I know we're all sinners here and don't deserve your love........" and then go off about how we always ".....lose our way....." It got me thinking, why is it that Christians put themselves down so much? I know the whole Adam and Eve story, so no explaining to me WHY we're sinners, but why is it that Christians only look at the evil in us all? Sometimes I'm a pessimist too, but Jesus Christ (no pun intended)! Why not take into consideration the GOOD we do, as human beings? Is this some form of modesty Christians present to show off to God? I realize there's evil in the world, but there is good as well. Please explain.

have given sermons on the prevalence of incest?

This is a serious question. It's prompted by the apparent confusion about Abel and Cain's wives and the estimated 30% of child molestation that occurs by family members. So, I am wondering if this is a topic ever raised in sermons. Bashers, please just go to the next question.

Where in the bible did God tell is that polygamy is wrong...and where in the bible does he tell us that premarital sex is a sin? Or is that just taught to us to make us a better person?

its been translated several times, and christians will even tell you it isn't meant to be taken literally.......

in other words youre better off tossing a coin with each decsion you make because nobody anywhere, anytime can say for certain there is any truth to the bible.

God certainly could have introduced us to Jesus before He sent us here ... surly, if there is life after death then there must have been a time of waiting before our phycical conception. The Breath of Life hs always been, and we are each blessed with it. What do you think?

I did a Bible study on a related topic about 6 months ago, and neglected to research this particular point.

Didn't God give Abraham(?) a 100-fold increase? Did this have to do with sowing and reaping. Thanks!

Its just in me and i thought it was the same for everyone. im not all good i make mistakes daily but atleast i want to be good. not evil

If so, when are you going to have the guts to stand up and declare terrorism to be a horrible crime against Allah (praise be unto him).

I am a practicing Lutheran being first a Christian and Second a Lutheran I feel that life would be completely meaning less without the Love and grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and with his word I truly feel whole. I really believe that the Lutheran faith has it right, that we are saved by grace and that faith and hope bring us one step closer each and every day to the eternal kingdom of God the Father! Without these basic ideas, and the ideas presented in the book of Concord (Lutheran doctrine) I truly would be lost in the Night and would not be able to find my way home. We are saved by grace and grace alone, Lutherans really have a lot of hope. "Being a Lutheran is being a person who believes the truths of God's word, the Holy Bible as they are correctly explained and tought in the Book of Concord. To do this is to confess the Gospel of Jesus Christ...All doctrines should conform to the standards set forth. Whatever is contrary to them should be rejected and condemned..."

All 42 different types of radio-isotope dating would have to be false, radioactive decay would have to suddenly ignore the laws of natural physics and half-life calculations would have to be bad math.
Astronomical red-shift analysis would have to be false as well, as would all of Einstein's work related to the nature of light and time. The speed of light would have to be a total lie, because if the universe were only 6500 years old than we can't be seeing the 12-billion year-old light from the most distant quasars.
The following disciplines of science would be completely illegitemate, and all of it's practitioner's would have to be decietful charlatans;
1. Paleontology (the science of dinosaurs, who were apparently so contemperary that they rode on the ark)
2. Geology (the science that determined the 4.5 billion year age of the earth).
3. Astronomy (the science that studies the age of the universe)

at one point in my life, i always think of what it would be like in perfect bliss and imagine certain people and things taking place. But then at another point in my life, things change and my idea of perfect happiness also changes, it never stays the same. So do you think that these ideas are only reflections of the greatest bliss to come- something we may not even know about yet?

I think about this all the time, and i've come to my own conclusion that it might be some sort of state of mind, whether it is good or bad depends on your own outlook...what do you think?

can u plz stop telling me I am going to a fictional place for not having the same beliefs as you? It gets really old...Sry, the fear tactics don't work on me, I know kno1 knows what happens after death, quit pretending to know something you don't. The whole bible thing being the word of god is pretty lame too. If that is what 'god' based my entire knowledge of him off of when the most logical answer was tht it was written by a bunch of random people trying to gain control of people's minds, then I don't want to be around some1 who puts the eternal condition of my soul on a roll of the dice that decides wether I am paticularly gullable one day and on tht day some paticularly good brain-washer comes about and tells me to believe something found in a 2000 year old book, then I don't want to be around him after I die anyways. TY, now leave me alone.

God wrote the Law in Stone, "I AM. the Lord thy God ..." He also wrote "I AM" on the wall, in Scripture. - He didn't say, "We."

Jesus, is a temptation.
