How come so many religions came out of one book? You have the Christians the Born agains,the Methodists, the Protestins and the Jehovahs wittnesses? Why are there so many different translations of the bible with so many of them having totally different words and content??

Right now Iraq is on the verge of a terrible civil war. Suni and Shiite muslims are the primary antagonists.

I know the Suni were once in control... but other than that - What is the difference that makes these two sides want to kill each other?

Some people still deny evolution - they cannot accept the idea that even the simplest microbe could exist unless it was created... but then with breathtaking illogicality, they argue that something infinitely more amazing - an intelligent entity capable of designing and creating an entire universe - *can* just exist without being created.

How can people hold such bizarre and mutually contradictory ideas?

BTW this is for Jeanne :-)

Tell me what is your religion, and if you are Christian, what is your denomination.
I know that many Christians think their religion justified physical punishment of children, but I don't know if this is typical for some special denomination.

Do you realize that the original scriptues of both New and Old testaments are nothing more than paraphrases recorded by ancient writers? The very Bible itself was originally recorded in paraphrase format.

Salamu alaikum. I made this question before and no Muslim replied, so I am trying my luck again today during Ramadan to see if a Muslim help us all understand.

Given that Islam is a peaceful religion, why peaceful Muslims do not demonstrate against radical extremists that use Islam name to justify their terrorist attacks?

I am making this question with all due respect, with a sincere interest in understanding you guys better. My intention is not to offend anyone, so I shall be grateful if non-Muslims refrain from answering this question. Thank you.

I'm sorry I didnt add enough detail to my last question...Regarding Preachers not having to go to school or deacons for that matter.

I should of know that people were going to bring up the aposltes...Why would they need to learn the history of christianity??They were there!!They didnt have to read the bible after it was translated over 10 times..I should of worded my questions better..Most nondenominational christians have never read the bible in greek, or latin, or even aramaic..Its this a good idea??

If someone humbly asks a question on Y!A, that requires a specific answer about their own religion, is it bad manners to disrespect them by answering that their religion is wrong and other childish crap?

And if HE created ME, Why would some people dessecrate HIS Holy CREATION by insulting ME and calling ME names?

If I decide to give God the finger, doesn't that happen because it was the will of God to happen? And what good is it to be a pious person if God has already decided who's going to heaven and who's going to hell? Do those that repent go against God's will?

If I went to a restaurant, and ordered a friend chicken, and mashed potatoes, and 20 minutes later a round circular disk was brought to my table, and it was yellow in color and had red dots on it, and smelled like marinara, and when tasteing it, it didn't taste like chicken or mashed potatoes, and tasted like mozarella instead,

would I ask the waitress to take it back and replace my meal, or should I have faith that it is indeed chicken and mashed potatoes,

why or why not?

show respect for a religion that says I'm going to be tortured non-stop for all eternity after I die?

Seems like making fun of how retarded it is won't do any harm.

Why are nondenomintional christians aloud to become preachers or deacons without having to go to school like catholics or baptist..Is this a good thing? Most great preist are also theoligians they have to study more than there own religion. How can you defend your religion when you havent learned the history of it all ..Not everything you need to know to defend your religion is in the bible..Just curious to know..

If you asked me for proof, would you really be in a state of denial, having doubts?

If the Flying Spaghetti Monster did give you proof, would you believe?

What proof is neccessary for you to believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster?


Note: This is not an attempt at converstion, it is just a question about something called "The Presumption of Atheism", which is when a person tries to determine the validity of a claim of the supernatural dieties made by others.
