I don't know if there is one or not, but if there is, how will age come into play? Let's say I die tomorrow... does that mean that I'll stay my age forever in heaven, and my parents will be the age they are? What's it going to be like? Will we have the same socioeconomic status?

After approximately 2000 years of having two major religions which both claim to follow a loving and caring god...why is there still so much hate in this world?

How many more thousands of years will christians and muslims hate, despise, and kill each other before those of us more evolved humans can live in peace?

How many more thousands of years do you people have to spill each others' blood and the blood of those caught in the middle of your insanity before one of your lazy gods shows up to put an end to it all?

Do you really think all this hatred and murder, thousands of years of it, is the will of some loving and caring god? Does death scare you so much that you will hang on to this evil no matter how many people have to die?

And christians, please spare me the "answers" where you point the finger at others, don't be the typical coward and claim christianity has made this world a better place to live. Try to have some intellectual honesty for once in your lives...

Why were Jesus, Siddhartha and Muslim able to inspire so many people to believe that what they were saying was true?

How would you define a good life?
How would you define a good person?
What do you make of ghost stories?

Since you are not involved with any religious congregation, are you at least an active part of your community (local community association) making it a better place to live?

Please note, I am just asking, I am not trying to attack you. I just want to know what is your perspective on these issues. Thank you to those who offer friendly replies.

Buddhism is 500 years older than Christianity, yet I find similar beliefs.

I used to go to an LDS church about 4 years ago and am curious to know what other peoples experiences have been. Please be as constructive as possible. Some of the nicest/spirtual people I know are LDS, but coming from a non LDS background it is hard to understand/accept certain things. Thanks.

I need honest answers from the christians. Just reverse the scenario in the middle east, Gaza and West bank, and imagine for a moment that there are no Muslim Palestinians living and now christians are being killed by the Zionist army of Israel, what would christian men would do to protect their children and women and property!!

I am travelling to another city with a coworker tomorrow and he is going to be fasting. Years ago, I remember hearing that if you do travel, you can break your fast? Will he be allowed not to fast for the duration of our trip? What is the rule regarding travel distance and breaking ones fast?
Thanks.

from what source did the perfection of mathmatics and the clockwork of the universe derive? Surely not from man, for man is simply revealing the mathmatical realities. Is it possible that the pure perfection of mathmatics that ties all of the sciences together occurred randomly? Is there not room for a Grand Mathmatician known as god?

Apart from this so called book of god, is there any real proof? I mean who actually wrote it. If "Harry Potter" didnt have the author on the cover, could this also be proof that magicians and all other characters in the book exist. Do you think the bible could be a practical joke? As the mild mannered janitor once said "Could Be".

A bunch of people were caught on tape just floating up ...presumably to Heaven. What would you atheists think then? How about you Left-behinder Christians?

I read the bible and pray as usual but i dont go to church. Not all churchs, but i have found out that there is much corruption in churches nowdays and the most of the congregation are hypocrites, though we all are not perfect. I am a christian with no denomination. I believe in God and Jesus as the son of God and my savior. Do you go? Why or why not?

Hypothetically, if you had evidence that God did not exist and you presented this information to Christians and other believers, I don't think they would believe it. I believe that once you are 'saved' you are incapable of changing that belief ever. What is it about their thinking that makes them incapable of even considering this fact?

A woman I know told me this very thing today-'You know that you're going to Hell don't you?' I'm like 'No I didn't hear that,who told you?' She did not think that was funny- 'It's no laughing matter, you are a nice person and I don't want to see you go to Hell.' I said- 'I'd hate to see that too.' At this point she's getting kind of angry with me and tells me that 'all Catholics and Jews' are going to Hell. I burst out laughing and said 'Well, we'll have one Hell of a party down there I guess!' And she walked off. Later I'm thinking to myself- oh my gosh, she was really serious!! I guess I shouldn't have laughed but I couldn't help it! What should I have said to her?

*This woman is the source of my frustration and why I posted the anti-catholicism??? Q*

Bear in mind this is a spiritual question, not a health question. Assuming everyone involved is 100% healthy, why would you limit your Love to one person rather than more than one? Why should we limit selfless love? and if we do, how do we selflessly love everyone (or should we)?

And yes, I am including (but not limiting the question to) the intimate, sexual component when I speak of "selfless love". Selfless love is all the ways we can express love, including the ability to give pleasure.

Also, This one for those of Christian faith. With 79.8% of the American people practising some form of Christianity, will those who have killed in His name still go to heaven, even though they've broken one of the ten, or does the bible offer any exceptions to the rule? If there are no exceptions, why do they vote for George W and other like-minded war presidents? I'm truly puzzled!

I mean, I go to church and read the bible etc. but I accept that it is not definite and also look into theories like the big bang and other religions' points of view.

I mean, all the bible explains is a theory, what someone thought happened at the first section is all theory, their is stuff that proves part of the bible being correct, such as there being a person called Jesus at the time but that doesn't make the whole bible right, does it?

I mean, there have been some things that have been discovered about other theories that are true, but that doesn't make all of the theories true.

You always get some people answering questions with either "of course" because the bible says so or "no" because the bible says so.

Think for yourselves people, any old person could go look up something in a book. Have your own opinion and don't let a book of theories decide what you do and think.
