Some people say "No I wasn't evolved" while others say "There is no God"

and the response is something like "well just because you don't believe it doesn't mean its not there" or something like that. Then its "don't you see the obvious around you".

So question, is God obvious. If so why doesn't everyone believe in God.

Is evolution obvious? If not, then what tests would we perform that would prove that evolution did or did not happen?

*logic* sorry maybe too early for you

Jesus said to love God with all our heart and soul and others as we love ourself-till we let the Messiah into our heart to forgive our sins and become our friend-we will miss the most important thing in life-salvation and the power to be all we can be--

sow good seeds for tomorrows needs

once my dream was to get $any way-hurt cheat or steal-and out of it -i was so empty and hurt inside (because we reap what we sow-i had money and my reputation taken away from me-i lived with lots of money as a rich Jewish guy-girls galour-but inside empty-I decided to commit suicide -tired of hurting others and being hurt.

then the love of Messiah Jesus touched me-as an elderly lady-shared the gospel with me-and instead of literally pushing her away-or tearing up the gospel tracts in her face-i thought be nice-as for my Jewish bubi (Yiddish grandma)- soI prayed-Jesus im sorry for all my sins-come into my heart, help me and be my friend-amen-Revelation3vs19&20
what's the dream ofYourLife?

Are you trying to save us (fireball226) ? Do you think Jesus is smiling at you from heaven, and saying. Oh sweet fireball you make me smile so.

Lets say a child rapist, torturer and murderer kills a man's kid, the killer has killed dozens of children and babies. He never gets caught but is truly "repentant" (whatever the heck that means) when he dies and gets into heaven (when depending on what christian faith you are, stait to heaven or at judgement day).

So, hypothetically, the killer and torturer of these children, gets to be in heaven with his victims. And then the families mothers and fathers who weeped in agony and pain over losing their children for a lifetime get to be in heaven with the perpetrator as one big happy family? Or perhaps some of the parents understandably lost their faith in God, or never believed in him and then they go to hell while the child killer is in heaven with their children?

The evangelical Christian dogma says that this scenario is possible.
If there is a God like that, he is neither just, nor wise or even good.
If you are a person who believes this, that is sick thinking.

The origin of my species could be a frog for all I care. Anything makes more sense than dust.

There was a question posted recently asking if god would accept us whether we believe in him or not (it was not my question). Those that claimed that god has infinite compassion and forgiveness and would love and accept us no matter what, received several thumbs down. Why would such positive thinking receive negative feedback? What kind of god do people expect to meet? Do some people expect god to possess human attributes, be quick to judge and just dismiss us because we MIGHT have made a mistake? I dont understand the rationality behind those choices. If god has infinite love and compassion why would he allow anyone to burn for all eternity. Yes I know we are all responsible for our actions but does it not make more sense if god allowed us several chances to reach enlightenment. Would someone please explain why those comments received thumbs down?

If I go back 5 million years and saw the species that genetically is linked to human beings and chimpanzees, and I made the subjective comment "oh, that looks like a monkey"; in what way shape or form is my comment a scientific fact?

Rather, would it be the hypothesis that we are testing, the genetic link between that monkey looking species, to the human being.

If this test was run, based perhaps on a fossilized animal, a fossilized monkey looking animal, and we were able to confirm that it is indeed a common ancestor,

would it still change the fact that saying it looks like a monkey is not an objective scientific fact, I could say it looks like a horse, so what, or a unicorn or a pony.

The point is, saying something looks like something doesn't make it a scientific fact.

Do you agree with my asssement of the situation. Why or why not.

Even though I am not a Muslim, I have studied and respect the faith. Mulsims, Are you angry that Extremist have made your faith look horrible? The true Islamic faith teaches, faith, peace, tolerance and respect for women. Why do you let these extremist, power hungry false prophets take over your faith?

that all major religions think every other one is bad. If u r not a muslim then u are wrong? If not christain then u r evil etc etc? What is it about religion that makes u think the only opinion that matters and is right is your own? what happened to following your beliefs but respecting others choice in theirs? How can following god or allah or whoever else be a good thing when it causes so much pain to others?

Would you agree, that if we were to go back 5 million years, to see that common ancestor, that to our naked eye, it would appear to you and I as a "monkey" like animal.

Would you also agree, that argueing about a monkey or an ape or a common ancestor, is pretty much a waste of time, espeically if the two people agree that the Origin of the Species was through the mechanism of Evolution and Natural Selection.


In other words, STFU with saying to another evolutionist - no it was a common ancestor.

Not wishing to be racist or nasty. But where I live I see a lot of Muslim women in the full veil behind the wheel of a car, How can this be safe? The veil covers most of the face except a thin slit to see out of. If you use your hands to simulate where the veil sits you will find the amount of periperal vision you lose is frightening.Its like looking thru a very thin letter box. Surely it cant be safe to lose so much of your vision whilst driving.

Just curious. I am a Christian and have several Muslim friends. Some are observing it and some are not.

If the best aspects of muslim theology and the best aspects of christian theology were joined together do you think it would create a religious belief that would be morally acceptable to both sides? In essences creating a sigular unified religious belief in God Almighty. (I think God would enjoy us all being on the same page for once.) What do you think?

she is a gorgeous woman of varied ethnicity (part taiwanese, part Dominican Republic and part Irish!!!) and she is from a strong catholic background... i however am an atheist with several differant beliefs made from many sources.

She would love a catholic wedding as would her family and obviously i would have be baptised if i am to become catholic etc

i would do it for her but it would feel wrong, and im not sure if they would allow it if i dont believe in god?

Should i give her a dream wedding at the cost of my beliefs?
or
stick to my beliefs and make her have an ordinary wedding? (oh dear)

or try to pretend that im catholic until after the ceremony??


AAARRRGGHHH!!

They all know I am a Christian, and even when I speak up they don't seem to care. I know that if I was of any other religion they would not say anything and would be respectful of what I believe. I have glared and said that i didn't like being compared to some of the things they are comparing Christians to. Why do people do this? And what else can I say to make them stop? Its not only rude at work but completely disrespectful.

We as christians believe the bible that it is Gods true inspired word, right. So if you believe the bible, you should believe that there was a great flood that, like the bible clearly teachess, covered the whole world, all the mountains, right. So ask any evolutionist and they will tell you that there was no flood, the reason, if there was a flood, then evolution couldnt have taken place. How then can you explain evolution if the flood destroyed everything, because evolution took place over millions of years.
