Proverbs 30:11-14
There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.
There is a generation, O how lofty are their eyes! and their eyelids are lifted up.
There is a generation, whose teeth are as swords, and their jaw teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

The last twenty to twenty-five years have produced a profound number of unruley people. Most have a total lack of respect and regard for kindness. And this is my own generation I am speaking of before anyone takes offence. So is this the generation the Bible spoke of?

Athiesm is a faith?

Whoa… I got in trouble for suggesting this one. If you hold beliefs in something that you can't prove or dis-prove, I'm sorry that's faith. Not believing in a supreme being is a faith in it's own. You have faith that a supreme being doesn't exist and that when we die, that's the end of us.

We could argue back and forth about proof or lack of proof, but that's not what I'm getting at and not what I want to get into. I just don't understand why saying that athiests have a faith is so troubling to some. Please explain if you disagree with my opinion.

Interesting, according to this book Lord of the Rings, someone name Gandalf is raised from the dead, why?

Should we put our faith in Gandalf, as he defeted death, according to this book, Lord of the Rings, The Two Towers?

Shall we sing praises in his precious name, Gandalf?

Should there be chrurches erected to Gandalf?

Its in the book that he rose from the dead, so, I'm just asking.

What do you want to happen to your body when you die?

These days you know longer have to be buried or cremated when you die, there is a world of other final options to choose from. Anything from being pickled like Stalin to being turned into a diamond is possible. So, how do you want your body to be treated when you die, do you want to have a boring old burial? or do you want to be turned into something beautiful? Pursonally I want to be turned into a diamond and passed down through the generations as a family heirloom- buts thats just me. Remember, you are never to young to think about your funeral, the phaeros for instance would start to plan as soon as they got on the throne.

Why is faith applied arbitrarily to religion, but nowhere else?

Christians (or any religious believers) require solid evidence for things like evolution, the Big Bang theory or other scientific explanations for natural phenomena, like any other rational human being. But when it comes to matters of the Bible, Quran, etc. they accept its answers without evidence.

Now, I know there will be people that say faith is the reason for this, but how can anyone arbitrarily apply faith to some circumstances but not others? How is religion exempt from proof?

More importanty, why don't more Christians have faith that science is correct? They should not require evidence in one arena and refuse to acknowledge the need for it in any other.

If what Hitler did was wrong, then why were so many willing to follow him?

He must have struck some sort of chord in many. What was it?

If we came from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys?

Ok, so I'm making a point rather than asking a question, but it would be interesting to know what the scholars think.

Questions for Catholics?

Why do you believe Jesus gave St. Peter unique responsibility for founding the Christian Church? Is there salvation outside the Church of Rome? Why does a church or priest have to intercede between God and humans?
