If you answer "atheist" I assume you have confirmed your belief that there is "no diety" as webster puts it?
Where's your scientific proof behind that?

If you answer "agnostic" - at least you're making some logical sense.

Do you feel that respecting anothers rights to their beliefs is incompatible with holding and following your own? I have many friends of varrying beliefs and I feel that I have learned much from all of them.I feel that respecting and learning from them in no way compromises my faith. Indeed it strengthens them!

This is a chance to share your "testimony," for lack of a better word.

1 - The evolutionary formula for making a universe:
Nothing+nothing=two elements+time=92 natural elements+time= all physical laws and a completely structured universe of galaxies, systems, stars, planets, and moons orbiting in perfect balance and order

2 - The evolutionary formula for making life:
Dirt+water+time=living creatures

Evolutionists theorize that the above two formulas can enable everything about us to make itself—with the exception of man-made things, such as automobiles or buildings.Complicated things,such as wooden boxes with nails in them,require thought, intelligence,and careful workmanship.But everything else about us in nature (such as hummingbirds and the human eye) is declared to be the result of accidental mishaps,random confusion,and time. You will not even need raw materials to begin with.They make themselves too.
Am I correct in stating the above? Is it logical? Are these theories truly scientific keeping in mind that for a scientific theory to be proven it must be observed, tested and possible to recreate? If evolutionists believe in such theories, isn’t evolution classified as a religion?

I've noticed when I do good things to people..I feel good about me...I feel light, it makes me feel I made a difference etc...I really like that feeling and I wish it was that way all the time...

but it's not

then we have the dog in me...the other day a guy cut in front of me...I had to slam on my brakes or I would have been in a wreck...then I yelled as loud as I could (not proud of me at this point) and called him %&#@!%$#@$%$#@ and every other name I could think of.

This made me (later) feel very bad about myself, I hated the way I felt...I felt heavy...not light like when I do good deeds...

would both of these situations be considered a spiritual thing...a spirtual battle if you will.

or is this just me?????????


what do you think?

many people say Jesus is the son of God? why dont they say Adam was the son of God? Adam didnt have a a human mother or father. Jesus was a miracle of God, hid mother was Mary.

Sad and telling how even wealth and success do not lead to inner peace.

Is atheism above the blind machinations of natural selection? If so, how? If not, why not?

I have been called a traitor to my country. Is that how you view American Christian converts and why? If so why do you all preach freedom of religion. Or is being free to believe as I choose and being excepted two different things. I personally don't care who likes it or not, I would not choose my religion on what others thought, I do it on my own beliefs and I do it for God. I was just wondering why alot of people point fingers and other countries who may or may not be tolerant of other religions when so many Americans are the same way and just as violent, its just not televised as much. There are many many hate crimes against Muslims in America that don't make the 5 o'clock news. I am not judging by any means. If you hate me that is your choice. I just am tired of hearing how America is so great and so tolerant and you can be free, when its not like that. Yes I have met a lot of nice people who are tolerant to me, but I have met so many that are not. Whats your thoughts on this.

they go thru a rental company to handle all the rent and repairs and such. My friends also rent a house from them. Heres a short backstory. They had some medical issues and were unable to pay rent for a few months. The rental agency said it was fine, that they could pay 300 extra every month and it would be ok. So thats what they were doing, and then all of a sudden they got served with papers saying they were refusing to pay rent. They got all the paperwork saying that they had not missed any payments after the arrangements had been made. Went to court and RGI lied and said they hadn't paid rent in 6 months. The judge wouldn't let my friends talk or show the proof or anything, and got evicted. Do you think the church should fire this company for lying and cheating. The companies slogan is , "Happiness is a positive cashflow." Just seems to me very contradictory for the church to condone this behavior, or am I being irrational?

I've gone to numerous athesit web-sites and I recently heard a college professor (atheist) speaking about Christians who have murdered in the past...crusades etc. I think most of you know what I mean, it always seems to be a common theme to talk about Christians who have killed people etc...but I've always wondered how they (respectfully) explain numerous atheist who were also have committed
horrible murder such as chairman Moa (a very outspoken atheist) who murdered 200 million people, Joesph Stalin (who said Christianity is for the weak) murdered 70 million and the Vietnam guy (I think Poli was his name) who murdered 3-5 million for the crime as being Christian or other religion. All of these were just in the past 80 years.

It just seems a little hypocritical.....

what's the defense of this?

No stupid answers please...I would like to know what the counter argument against this is...if you don't know please don't answer.


thanks!

I am researching 'end timers' but i can't find any half decent sites about their prophecies and stuff. I already know about the global warming thing and the war against islam. I know about their ideas about the israel-arabia war.

I'd like to found out thier looks on the UN and some other stuff. Espicially something about the mark of the beast to buy and sell.


Any help will be truly appreciated

In your opinion, what do you believe to be the differences of the Catholic and the Protestant faith. No looking to others for answers, no searching, just your views. I would like to know your views on the subject.

Thank You :-)

Have you noticed that people who can't answer your question (because to do so would expose an obvious contradiction in their faith)......will give you a "thumbs down"?

Which religious group do you think does this the most often?

Please see my last question and tell me if you think it was a "good" question or a "bad" question...and why.

According to the Bible, Jesus is the word of god. Yet fundamentalists refer to a collection of silly ancient books as the word of god.

Don't you think it's blasphemous to elevate a bunch of rediculous writings to the level of your god by giving those writings your god's title?
