I am an atheist, and have dedicated a great deal of time to studying the Bible. It seems to me that the majority of the Christians around here have more or less missed the point. Tell me, what did you learn from the Gospels?

Are there any countries where existing governments imprison or kill people solely because of their religious beliefs? I will define religion as one of the mainstream ones that believe in a diety or dieties, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism, Islam, Taoism, Judaism.

the jointed fingers do nothing. the flipper can not bend, and the fingers can not seperate. so essentially it is pointless to equip dolphin flippers with these sorts of bones.

eolvutionary theory can explain why this is. dolphins evolved from land mammals, and so they retain terrestrial features such as jointed fingers, lungs, and an up-down movement rather than a side-to-side movement. (the first of which is pointless, and the last two of which are actually detrimental to life in water.)

if you believe that an intelligent designer is responsible for making dolphins the way the are, then how can you explain why he didn't make dolphins with gills and a more efficient side-to-side swimming technique and why he didn't just completely leave out the useless jointed finger bones?? --- was it just his goal to make dolphins and whales LOOK like land mammals in order to trick us or something?

I'm about to be 40 soon and the past 5 years in my life have been horribly depressing, due to some personal issues in my life. It has been so bad that it's effected my career and social life. Now, I've decided to make a change and turn my life around, but I need lots of encouragement. I've decided to go back to school and get a second degree. I guess what I need to know is, how do I keep myself motivated? Is it too late for me to have a happy life?

I would appreciate all those who just want to make fun, taunt or belittle people or the questions we pose about religion to continue your disgraceful ranting elsewhere. I thought we were here to discuss questions of faith not who can upset the most people or who can show the most disrespect for the others
religious beliefs. Making snide or immoral remarks forces moral people to
stop reading this forum. Can't we just enjoy each others points of views leaving out anger, hate and smart mouth?

Christians used to follow the example of the good samaritan--they used to HELP people, and they didn't preach and lecture all the time. Twenty years ago the slogan was "they will know we are christians by our love" and they held themselves to the verse "whatsoever you have done to these the least of my brethren, that ye have done unto me." Those are Christs words and his followers believed that their actions speak louder than words
Nowadays churches have closed the doors on their homeless shelters and soup kitchens in most areas and gotten rid of the vouchers they used to use to help people in times of desperate need. Showing up to church in your best clothes is no longer good enough when your best clothes are jeans and a work shirt--and heaven help the homeless person who tries to walk through that door on sunday. When did Christ tell these people that it was more important to nag the people who don't want or need their help than to help the people who need Him? out of characters.

The words spoken by Mr. Berg's murderers come directly out of the Qur'an's "Spoils of War" surah: "Allah has sent you from your homes to fight for the Cause. Allah wished to confirm the truth by his words: wipe the Infidels out to the last. I shall fill the hearts of the Infidels with terror! So smite them on their necks and every joint, and incapacitate them, for they are opposed to Allah and His Apostle. Whoever opposes Us should know that Allah is severe in retribution. The Infidels will taste the torment of Hell. So when you meet them in battle do not retreat, for all who turn away from fighting will bring the wrath of Allah on themselves and their abode will be Hell. It was not you who killed them, but Allah who did so. You did not throw what you threw. Allah did to bring out the best in the faithful."

Messiah spoke "Nevertheless I must wak today, and tomorrow, and the day following for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem."

Moses said "Without the shedding of blood there is no atonement for sins."
Leviticus 17 vs 11 "The life of the flesh is in the blood, and i have given it upon the altar to make atonement for your sins."
