I was wondering how many years have passed since Jesus Christ was put to death on the cross? Serious answers only please :)

I never believed in God, but it seems that the all powerful sky pixie can heal cancer and do all sorts of other amazing tricks.

Today in the Republic of Congo 1200 children will die from starvation and aids. I'm willing to give it a try. Let's all pray together to that God that seems to exist, and save 1200 innocent kids. We can show God that we care. Hell, we are the ones that still allow this to happen, so let's also ask God for forgiveness for that at the same time. It might work if we all do it together.

I don't believe it will work, but hey, it's worth a try, right?

(I know a few of you religious folks see my name, and your fingers are already itching to click on the report button. By all means, be my guest. Just think about what your God will think if you deny 1200 kids the chance on being saved with that one click of your mouse...)

Not your actions, mind you; your thoughts. Is it a conscious effort? Have your beliefs shaped your thought processes? Do they not affect it much at all?

All I ask for in this one is honesty.

Confused! There are many Christian Churches in the world. Why do we have different bibles? Certain gospels/books have been removed or not placed in the bible. Who are we to change the bible? One bible should represent all christian. true?

I fear the deaths of the people I care about, but I'm not too worried about my own death. After all, I was dead for a long time before I was born and it never bothered me then. But what do you think?

I mean if your pro-life thats cool, but why are you not for helping the American people? Support worker unions and more money put into education? Being able to see a doctor. Isn't this supposed to be the "Christian way"? But you guys complain about your tax dollers being spent on "social programs" you guys really need to take a good look at yourselves.

I've noticed a disturbing trend in the religion section. People who cite studies and research, easily testable and repeatable facts, are often given the 'thumbs down' in favor of the more 'abstract' responses.

If your religion requires you to disregard reality, how far are you willing to take it? Do you ignore all of science because some of it seems to disagree with your dogma? Well, obviously not, since you're on the internet using a computer. Facts and evidence got you there, not faith.

So why ignore facts when they don't agree with what you think is true? Isn't it possible that you are demonstrateably wrong?

How does it differ most from Christianity?

Just wondering what the main premise is.....like, with Catholics....the goal is to become as Christ-like as possible.

Well, I won't bore you with details, I just have a question, in general, about people with addictions. Whether it be meth addicts, gamblers, alcoholics, whatever....Why is it that people who earn a reputation for their addiction are least likely to be forgiven and given another chance? I hear stories all the time of people forgiving a serial killer for a murder, or a man who cheats on his wife and is given a second chance. If these types of people can be forgiven, why not an addict? At least the addict doesn't always directly harm someone, unlike the murderer or rapist. Why do the addicts seem to be the most outcast bunch? Why can't they be forgiven?

1. If god din't want his fruit interfered with, why did he not create another garden for it?
2. If Adam & Eve hadn't eaten it, wouldn't some other monkey or other animal have?
3. If god set such a high importance on blind obedience to authority, why didn't he create some more obedient animal, or some programmable machine to amuse himself/care for the garden/whatever?

Sorry, but the story makes no sense at all.

Really. Has anyone come back from the dead and told you about it personally?

This is a real question.

That people who have past are not in heaven or hell, they are in a waiting place until the judgement day and then God will decide if we go to heaven or hell.

This is one of the purpose driven questions, why are you here, what will you do with this gift called life. How will or do you spend your time on Earth? Use religion, cooking books... ect. to give your reasons, if you believe you even need or have a reason.

If you look at my ID here on Yahoo you will see that I am a United States Army Military Police Soldier.

I will soon no longer be one.

Within the next few weeks I will be transitioning out of the Army.

When I do, I will no longer have a job or a home.

The conversion van I’m having re-built is about 2 months past due on completion.

I will most likely have to live out of that van with my cat.

I have already had to live out of a conversion van once before when I was 31 – 32 while going through a divorce and bankruptcy for over a year just outside the city of Detroit, Michigan so this, unfortunately, is nothing new for me.

It took a long time after that for me to sleep easily because you wake at the slightest sound never knowing if someone may try to break into your vehicle and harm you when they find you.

I still sleep with a pistol under my pillow.
