This shows violent nature of Islam. Genesis was written about two thousand years before Koran, how can they dare to alter its content by saying that it was Ishmael, not Isaac, Abraham was offering to God on mount Moriah. Islam is a false religion, spreading by swords, not truths. Must be a Devil-inspired religion.

As an atheist I am so mystified to hear my religious friends sneer or laugh at the doctrines or customs of others, such as wailing walls and burqas and snake handling or speaking in tongues, while they view their own religious customs and beliefs as perfectly logical. They don't believe in Santa Claus, or the Tooth Fairy, but they believe the Earth is only 6,000 years old, or was created in 7 days, or they accept magic in prayers uttered at a special wall, or ritual cannibalism. Can anyone explain how two opposing ideas of “my reality" and “their superstition" live inside one person's head?

Can you prove it? We have no scientific proof.
It is just part of your stories, right?
A myth... hmmmm

...if one is in a relationship with the same sex but the nature of it is platonic and not sexual? What if both are in a loving but celibate (no sex) relationship, are they still considered homosexuals (gay / lesbian)? For Christians, what are your opinions on this? What does the Bible say? Thanks in advance for your answers.

So my friend and I were talking & Jennifer Connolly comes up. I didn't know who she was, so we looked her up on Wiki. & then it said she was Jewish, and my friend said "oh my god, she's Jewish, she doesn't look it at all!" and I said "what do you mean? " and she said "oh, well, she's so pretty, you know, so you'd never know."


Is my friend alone in this characterization?

I tried looking up their difference of belief on the web, but really can't understand the violence behind it.
Why are they killing each other? Is it justified in their belief?
Do you believe they will ever be able to live in peace and accept each other?

Please do not give a dictionary or wikipedia definition. In your own words, based on your own opinion, what is an agnostic and what do agnostics believe?

Dictionary &/or encyclopedia definitions will not be considered for best answer or read by me.


Thanks for your answers.

Why the guilt trip even if they want to spread their religion. Even if he did die for someone's sins it's probably the jews.

We are Christians, but lately my mom has been trying to switch us over to Judiasim, but I am not feeling that. I like where I am right now. I mean there is a LOT of room for improvement but I like the religion I am right now. I don't want to change.

You recall that Judas hung himself. Do you think it was out of remorse for having betrayed Christ which might serve as an indication of his repentance? Or do you believe demons brought him so far down that suicide finished his one way ticket to hell? What do you think happened to Judas after he died?

I Just want to know who else feels the same, this is strictly out of curiosity. because in my opinion, religion is just another way to get everybody to conform to something. What is your hard proof that the bible was just not written by some bored guy who had nothing better to do? No matter the time period, people wanted to be a part of something, and maybe some guy thought to himself, “wow this would be a great way for everybody to come together and be a part of a group”, or “hey I want to start my own cult”. Take for example, the Mormon religion, why if you eat sweets or drink a beverage with caffeine, it is considered a sin? That is bullcrap! So if you drink a soda, you go to hell? How can every religion be the “right” religion? If there are so many different religions in existence how can every religion get you into heaven? I thought there was only one heaven. So how could every religion go to heaven if there is only one heaven? This frustrates me so much and I need others input.

Muslim clerics and other high ranking muslim religious leaders have been quoted as saying that Christianity and the western world are a bunch of infedels who will have their heads chopped off in the name of jihad and Allah. Mostly because of the silliness of being politicaly correct, the western world and Christian religious leaders have either kept their mouth shut or have insisted that radical muslim views are followed only by a certain few extremist. The fact is, when the Ayatolla of an entire country (Iran) calls for more protests and attacks against Christianity and the west enciting hatred and violence, these views are seemingly becoming more popular. All the pope did was read an excerpt from a historical document, and although it was pretty stupid of him to do so considering the overly sensitive Muslim world today, he didn't call for the killing or the persicution of any Muslims. Who should really be upset about this whole thing? Why is the Islamic world so upset?

They really are...the sexiest people on earth.

Agnosticism is the only view point that makes sense.

Evolution easily disproves the monotheistic conceptions of God and any conception of a "personal hands on creator", however, we dont yet have sufficient proof to dismiss the possible existance of someother form of "God" or "Being".

String theory may solve the issue once and for all...we are not there yet.

God probably doesnt exist...but a statment, any stronger than this, is arrogance driven post-religious hangovers

Do you think YOUR sexuality was a choice? Did you choose to be straight? Gays dont choose to be gay either. Gays choose to come out or not come out. Thats the only choice gays are given...
