I am sure most people will not understand the concept of this question but oh well. The same brainwashing that lead to these people embracing religion also leads them to believe Mcdonalds is good. Atheists/Agnostics realize Mcdonalds is trash and have moved on to Burger King, Wendys, etc to fulfull their fast food needs in their adult years. My basic point is that people that like Mcdonalds over the higher quality fast food establishments are weak minded fools.

him when you get to FSM heaven,? It's OK, the FSM doesn't really give a Shlit. Unlike the christian god who will throw you into a lake of fire for creating you with a brain that uses logic and putting you in a situation where you aren't brainwashed, he loves you UNCONDITIONALLY! (and he exists)

So keep mocking the great FSM....no1 cares..not even the FSM!! Seriously...mock him all you want. :)

We will all know the truth about his noodly appendage after we die and won't be punished for the inferences we make w/o any evidence of the truth!

I find the conversation just stops when some Christians say that atheism is impossible. I'm willing to live with the notion that it's unprovable, because there are different standards of evidence and proof. But to say that I don't believe what I say I believe is, in itself, beyond belief.

This cannot have sprung from the minds of these parrots. Who started this maddening craze that disbelieves in disbelief?

"Blessed are you poor, For yours is the kingdom of God…Woe to you who are rich, For you have received your consolation"; and,"Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. "Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."; and, "Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys." (Luke 6:20, 24; Matt. 19:23-24; Luke 12:33

For the vast, vast majority of people who are part of what calls itself the church in the United States, the words of Jesus above, spoken in the context of material wealth, will immediately draw an emotionally defensive response. Why? What does it mean when someone is defensive at the suggestion of living a sacrificial life for Jesus? What does it mean when people get defensive when it is suggested they do with fewer material things or 'not-as-nice' material things? Well, it probably means they are either in bondage to, or struggling with, the sin of covetousness. What is the definition of "covet"? It is to consistently desire more material things than what you presently have. It means to focus on getting more money/things as opposed to giving them away in serving the Lord. What does it mean to be in bondage to the sin of covetousness? It means one is not willing to try and follow Messiah Jesus. He who has ears to hear, let him hear!

1. Jesus says, "But from the beginning of creation, God made them male and female." (Mark 10:6)



Here, Jesus gives his support of the creation account in Genesis 1:1, 27. Note he says "from the beginning of creation", not after hundreds of millions of years of asexual reproduction that then somehow lead to sexual reproduction, and then a few more billion years before man 'evolved'. It appears Jesus was referring to Genesis 1:1, 27 with the concepts of "from the beginning of creation" (verse 1) and "male and female" (verse 27). See also Matt. 19:4.



While the issue he was addressing was divorce in those passages, his Words also support both the Genesis one creation account, as well as confirming one of the greatest weaknesses of any type of naturalistic evolutionary belief...the impossibility of the naturalistic evolving of sexual reproduction.



2. Could the God you know of through the Words of Jesus have created all things in six days or less? Did God need to work through existing physical processes in order to increase order, or could he have created complex matter instantaneously? If the reader disfavors His creating matter from nothing, then the reader should also discount Jesus' feeding of the thousands with a few fish and loaves of bread. While this argument certainly does not prove that God in fact did create all the time-space-matter universe in six days, it does support his being able to do so if he choose.

3. If you hand Genesis chapter one to a child to read, how long will they say it took God to create the heavens and the earth and all that is in the earth?

Doesn't Jesus say, "...Truly I say to you, Unless you are converted and become as little children, you shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven." (Matthew 18:3) Is this attitude really restricted to 'salvation' or 'spiritual' matters only? Don't confuse current verifiable physical matters with speculation about past events.

4. Those "scientists" who reject Jesus and who deny the existence of God, dogmatically and almost unanimously defend naturalistic evolution.

Jesus says, "And this is the condemnation, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than the Light, because their deeds were evil." (John 3:19)

5. Many "scientists" who acknowledge God exists have more verifiable facts (true, present empirical science) against evolution than evolutionists have in support of evolution. In like manner, many "scientists" who acknowledge God exists have more verifiable facts for a younger earth than evolutionists have facts to support an old earth.

6. Anyone who believes naturalistic biological evolution is poorly read regarding the present scientific arguments and evidence of the creationist scientists and intelligent design thinkers. It is simply a fact that naturalistic evolution - defined as no intervention from an intelligent Designer - could not have taken place. Those who tend to believe in naturalistic evolution are placing too much weight on contemporary philosophers and too little weight on Jesus Words and much physical evidence that supports a more recent creation.

7. Other views of evolution (non-naturalistic) are reasonable and could be held by followers of Jesus...views such as God using an evolution-type process (direct intervention) to create man - sometimes called progressive creation; gap theories about the Genesis chapter 1 account to account for an old earth, should a person believe the evidence for an old earth, etc.

Conclusion: Let's base our faith on Jesus' Words first. If a person believes that Jesus doesn't conclusively address the matter, then we should be flexible. The followers of Jesus should not divide or fight over this issue, for it is not of primary importance. We can follow Jesus and obey him together without unity on this issue, except to acknowledge that the Most High God is the Creator and that he was active in creation.

i'm not here to pick fights, that is the last thing on my mind, but why do so many people judge others on their religious beliefs?

I don't care what your religion is honestly, frankly i could i careless, if you want to worship satan go right ahead, if you want to worship Buddha go ahead, if you want to worship god, if you want to worship goddess&god go ahead. As long as you are mostly a good person why should it matter?

Some of you say your god is the only one to judge but, you stand by and judge others on their religion, and you say they are going to hell if they don't believe what you believe..why?

If you are going to be horribly hateful, please don't reply thank you.

Have you let your family know that no priest can come in and bless you and give your last rights on your death bed? Have you made sure your funeral is NOT to be held in a church, and the word God not be mentioned at your service? Who will give the service? A judge? A Sea Captain? Does your family know these things? How would you feel if they had a church funeral will a Christian Baptist Preacher reading your ulogy? Would you turn in your grave?

Don't let them kid you BROTHERS and SISTERS. JESUS
CHRIST called the religious leaders of His day, SNAKES, and
the CHILDREN of their FATHER, the DEVIL!
We are always to approach others with meekness. And have
understanding, and try to reason with others. If you love God, you hate evil. And evil is proud look!
When we see a person who is consistently destructive toward
others, we sometimes need to use TUFF LUV. And kick them of their self-righteous high horse. For their benefit as well as the
benefit of our brothers and sisters.

"We establish no religion in this country, we command no worship, we mandate no belief, nor will we ever. Church and state are, and must remain, separate. All are free to believe or not believe, all are free to practice a faith or not, and those who believe are free, and should be free, to speak of and act on their belief. At the same time that our Constitution prohibits state establishment of religion, it protects the free exercise of all religions. And walking this fine line requires government to be strictly neutral."
—Ronald Reagan

Spiritually speaking I'm in terrible shape. But, I want to change that. Basically I'm addicted to porn and I am angry with God because I disagree with him saying I need to change. I realize that I do, but it just seems impossible for me to do so. Well, I don't want to be mad at God anymore and I want to just make the choice to follow Jesus for the rest of my life without turning back. I was a christian, at one time I was a minister myself, but I don't resemble that person anymore. I'm not saying I want to be a minister agian, I just want to get out of this cycle of self will and be for Jesus the rest of my life. If you can't help me, please just pray for me then. I know I'm a sinner, I know I need him, but how can I make it last?

Is it true?

I think it might be since WMD were sent to Syria before & after we went into Iraq.

Isn't it Iran & Syria who gave arsenal to Hezbollah in the first place?

So if Syria has Iraq's WMD somewhere, don't we have a problem?
