Is religious belief a form of mental illness. Have you ever noticed most schitzophrenic delusions are related to God, the Devil, the Virgin Mary, the Pope, Jesus and going to Hell?

Does religion induce mental illness in our youth today?

Why do many ask about the animals, as by two and by seven, as I examine it, how do I understand breeding that must occur?
How does sevens of each for food last the time they need to last?

Noah born 1056 [ Adam dead 126 years ]; Gen.7:6; Noah age 600 so 1656 is flood year.
Gen.7:11; 2 - 17 - 1656 the flood begans. Beginning in second month.
Gen.8:4; 7 - 17 - 1656 the ark in on Mt. Ararat. This is seventh month.
Gen.8:5; 10 - 1 - 1656 tops of mountains seen. This is tenth month.
Gen.8:13; 1 - 1- 1657 dry enough to uncover the ark. 1056 + 601 - 1657. This is month 12.
Gen,8:14,15; 2 - 17 - 1657 Now they can go forth from the ark, I get 375 days, but the
food they have still must last awhile due to offsprings I assume?
1056 + 350 years = Gen.9:28,29; in year 2006 Noah dies after the Flood;
Gen.11:10 Shem was age 98 to 100 he had a son, he was age 448 when Noah died];

I'm a religious guy, I follow the beliefs and faith of the Catholic church, but I say 'Swear to God' alot and I'm worried that if I don't stop I'm not gonna be forgiven.

Is Swearing to God a sin?

if there are other beings out there, are they created by God? or are they the more intelligent beings who created us.
I mean, the universe is near infinity, to exclude the possibility of the existance of other beings beside us is totally absurd, silly and ignorent. if the theory stands. What place then, for God? or is the God that all this while we worship to is what we call ALIEN? I know it sounds provocative and am not expecting any truth coz i believe nobody's qualified to give me an answer, nevertheless, tell me what do you think?

How would you even identify those who are unwillingly pregnant when they know that if detected, they'd be forced to endure the entire pregnancy?

I am a Christian, but in reading the Holy Bible I wonder what or if the solar system might some how in Revelation come.

I know 7, 3, 12, 10, 2 are used a lot in the book of Revelations, is 9

I was thinking , since they are out there and he lets us know about them, that they might come into the bible some where.
what do you think?

I know non believers aren't going to see God in this.

I know a lot of Christians are going to see the Planet it.

And I yet to find it either, but has anyone ever thought this?

Love neither freezes, nor fights, nor flees. Everything else is Love.

The rules are simple. The benefits obvious.

So why worship God?

I don't want to get too deep into worshipping Sam Harris (all praise upon his writing appendage) if there are risks involved.

Or maybe you are just pretending to pray and just want to rest your lazy selves.

Here's the link to last night's question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjcLI8zHgcFukEnqQaPau3Psy6IX?qid=20060913200532AAzHm0U

I was surprised that there are those who have trouble recognizing a fetus as a human. From a scientific point of view, the fetus has its own DNA which conclusively demonstrates it belongs to the human species, that the fetus is human. It is not a growth of the mother, as the DNA of the fetus is not the same as the DNA of the mother.

That's one aspect.

The other aspect deals with whether the fetus is a person. I have an ultrasound picture of my son some 4-6 weeks after conception. There were no doubts in the minds of his mother or myself that we were looking at our baby, a person. We made decisions that respected his existence and well-being.

Now neither of the above addresses the ethics of abortion. Ours was a wanted pregnancy. Abortion never entered the discussion.

Please, believe in God if you feel so, but don't delegate to anyone the right to tell you what God is like and what He wants from you.
All religions are interested is in your vote, your money or the power you give them!
Be brave, be strong, be yourself. Don't let anybody influence you to take advantage of your good faith and push you to do things you would never do otherwise.
