The belief in a god that is intimately involved in your life, and always watches out for you, or the belief in a god that does neither? What about the belief in no god? More or less perspicacious? Actually, who here actually knows the meaning of perspicacious?

Serious question.

Does anyone know?

And, if no one has, why haven't they so we could lay to rest the discussion over whether or not it was possible and/or feasible?



(this was inspired by corey's answer to DNA ark question)

I mean come on...if you're that stuck in your rut, why would this site be of any benefit? If FAITH supercedes all in your mind....naw...in that case you're just lying to yourselves, making Faith be knowledge. But knowledge is man-made. God implied...'Okay I'll give you the whole planet..now YOU figure it out. What am I(GOD) like, capable of, you figure it out?. How could you possibly know if it was God or Satan driving you or wrote the Bible..anything?

If someone had a religion where the old ones used to burn animals, cheat/enslave strangers and commit genocide in the name of God....wouldn't you be skeptical?

I heard an radio interview of a lady who was in the business, then was saved, then went back in. She sounded completely ok with the situation.

Joseph didnt Marry Mary until after the virgin birth. That means no ties with the step father.

Why not preach about Gods love instead of SATAN over and over. This is a turn off.

I have been asking various questions and from the responses can only conclude the following.
The Christian faith is illogical,hypocrytical and inconsistent.
e.g. Thou shalt not kill.Yet we are taught God wiped out every living thing on the planet except Noah,his family and the animals in the ark.
Apparently it is a sin of the parents to have a child out of wedlock.
If Jesus is the son of God and God and Mary were not married,this makes God a sinner.(Does it make Mary an adulterer as well?)
No-one seems to know for sure who wrote the Bible but it's teachings are accepted unconditionally.
Can anyone please explain this to me?

It is usually abbreviated to a 3 letter word ~ where people record white noise on a cassette and ask questions and stuff out loud, then play it it back and try to find voices of spirits and things on the tape.

Anyone know anything about it?

I've been studying art history & I've noticed in many paintings, etc. the Virgin & Jesus look pretty Italian! Is this because the artists were Italian, or the patrons were?

I've always wondered, so let me know! thx.

Do you think it's possible that older pastors don't know it might be interpreted as flipping off the congregation? (When their glasses slip down their nose) I saw one pastor do this repeatedly and very slowly.

the reason i stoped going and became ordained my self is because of this.
1. some of the people at the chuches i went to looked down and put down the people around them.
2. the preacher tought that if you didnt believe the way he did you were going to hell
3. they worshiped christ over god
4. every little thing was a sin even if it were not included in the bible.
5. if you went to the pastor with a problem the next sunday the whole church knew about it.
6. they tought more on the devil then they did on gods love.
7. they think their faith is the only right one

i study all faiths and religions and i took it apon my self to visit each religion for no less then a month. out of each religion i couldnt find one where i fit in the only peace i found was in my bible. you cant go rong with the bible.

to fit in the Ark, which was a big floating box, and not a boat meant for sailing?

We know that all bears are related, and have cubs together, such as the Polar/Grizzly mix.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly-polar_bear_hybrid

We know that the Meercat and Hyena are related, despite looking different. A male house cat can breed with a female tiger.

The Ark only needed the base genetic forms of each "species", not the millions of different "breeds". Since they began from the point where Eden was, and it was less than 2000 years since the creation of animals, they would still be near by. Even Eden would have still been there.

After the Great Flood, they spread out, genetic material began to mutate, and new breeds began to form. How did animals get on islands? The same question can be asked about the Bikini Islands, which had everything destroyed by the Hydrogen Bomb Test, yet animals have returned without the help of men.

I think he is weak, all he can do is just talking to your soul jently to convince you of doing the wrong acts.

That's all he can do. Nothing more.

What do you think?

christians are alwasy wittering on about freewill - but doesn't christianity remove freewill (as far as belief in god is concerned)

ie once u believe in god and the punishment for disbelief in that god - then arent u irrevocably locked in to that belief? This type of freewill is analogous to a pirate making you walk the plank. You either jump in the ocean or get sliced - yet the pirate could reasonably say that he didnt didnt make u jump in the ocean- it was ur freewill to jump.

Isnt god like the pirate - in that he gives us the freewill to believe in him - but then tortures us if we dont?

Ultimately what im asking is - is freewill lost - once your parents have convinced you that hell exists - and that you will go there if you do not become a christian

I have meditated a lot about this, and honestly, I know it is. War over the centuries and religion to divide and confuse, false doctrines and felonious records of history taught in schools, now we have the media and Hollywood...a whole other dimension of staged brainwashing and conditioning. But why, and who is behind it all?

What are we being perpetually distracted from? There is more to this all on Earth than "War in Iraq", oil "crises", political scandals, and the distractions like movies and brainless programming (fear factor and other reality shows come to mind). What purpose does this serve other than to numb the mind? Nothing is the same as it was just 20 years ago. The entire vibe is different in the Earth and in the air. I know I'm everywhere on this, but I just feel what I'm meaning but I cannot put it into words properly. Maybe a kindred spirit out there more enlightened than I can expound and shed some light for me.

jesus is pronounced hey-zeus, meaning son of zeus/son of god.
a greek god. the christian God is called jehovah , meaning the god with no name.(the only god without a name). What kind of god just wants us to worship him, we have no reason to want a god who is responsible for most wars. religeon was created to control the simple village folk... Its about time we moved on.
