and... give them all the needs to live. They Would in no doubt come up with some kind of "GOD" to worship an it wouldn't be JESUS or any of the gods we all know about. why do you think that is? maybe because its human nature to have something more after death? or it could be out of fear of not existing or what i want u to tell me?

tie bombs around themselves or the like. Many people who think they are funny post those questions and answers here.
I see the athiests think Christians do that.
I see Christians assume it is athiests with poor humor
It could even be a giant Muslim conspiracy to get pity???? (doubtful)

Does anyone have the courage to say that about Muslims one more time, and say their religious affliliation (or lack of)

they deleted this question, which in NO WAY violates their rules!

Question: If this research turns out to be definitive, does it invalide the Bible as God's word?

Details of Violation: http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/user/scotts/ftp/bulgarians/nih-upi.html If being gay is genetic, then God's own biblical pronouncements against homosexuality would be hypocritical to say the least. He would be punishing man for his own handywork (the "gay gene"). It would be roughly equivalent to labeling schizophrenia or Parkinson's Disease a sin! How will the church(s) respond?

Why is it that when you bring up evolution with Christian Fundamentalists, they dismiss it as a theory, saying there isn't ENOUGH scientific evidence to back up any of the clamis of evolution? But then they turn around and say that they believe in God. Isn't the existence of God even more of a "theory" under that logic? It is hilarious to me.

I was at a catholic Church before in Las Vegas and I took a piece of the literature home with me in a creed, I think the "Nicene Creed" from the church the part after it said Jesus died...it said "He descended to hell...." I am utterly confused by this and asked the priest who explained to me but he had to get somewhere and I never grasped the meaning of this..how could Jesus descend into hell?

I hardly ever see questions from people that claim to have FAITH, but don't affiliate with an organized religion. By definition, ANY organized religion claims to be the one true religion of God (I think, there may be some that do not however I am not aware of them). And all of these religions say that you have to join this particular faith in order to understand the one true God. So I would like to get the opinion of followers of different faiths concerning people who believe in God, but do not affiliate themselves with an organized religion. Since religion is nothing more than FAITH, why is it that in order to believe in God, you must actively join an organized religion? From my examination of religion, no one religion can offer a view that is valid for everyone. So if someone believes in A God, lives a good moral life, and accepts/respects a power greater than them, aren't their values valid? In other words, would the world be better if religion was personal rather than social?

I am a liberal christian, I believe in a God, and such. But I do have different beliefes than those of conservatives. I believe that the Bible was meant to be evolve throught the ages. Only in the old Testament were God's laws very strict, and in the New Testament, things totally changed. A new covenant was created and a new system of believe came. Do the Old Testaments's laws/believes still apply to those of the New Testament? And if not, isn't this a clear sign of an "evolution" in belives? EG: Homosexuality is talked in the Old, but in the New, it isn't.

Makes me curious. I've always wondered why you think god is so awesome that every moment of your eternal existence you'd love to be a slave to his, worshipping him without end? What kind of existence is that? I want flavor in my life and if I have to go to hell and burn in eternal hell fire when I'm cast into the "lake of fire", so be it. This is the choice I've made, enlighten us to how you've come to your decision.

Even through all the chaos religion and stubborn mankind initiate, there must be a reason why we're all different...in order to learn our differences from one another and accept those differences as we grow closer together while becoming wiser with our actions. Therefore, religion has been created only to make us distinct from one another and more special as individuals. Religion is maybe a good base for some, but it doesn't mean it should come to the level of excluding others. I truly think the creator is in charge and therefore I remain optimistic that as we advance with intellect, we will advance with open-mindedness towards each other. The crisis we face nowadays is the only way a lesson will be learned about working together rather than all this religious finger pointing.

In a way, I would hope that when I die, I am reborn as a new person (with no memory of the last life) because, I like being a person and living (lol) and enjoying life. I know that sounds silly but I do. I couldn't imagine "being" something else after I died. Like a spirit or whatever.

Is it wrong for me to think that? And what do you think about it?

Oh and, as much as I love verse's from the bible, please just give me an honest opinion.

I think Muslim nations allow males to have up to four wives. How many wives does the average Muslim male have? Somebody told me its usually one. I was also wondering if they keep birth records. Anybody know? Are all their marriages arranged?
