then why doesn't our intricately complex mechanical universe need a maker???
I hope some of you put a little more thought into your answer than "the spaghetti monster made it"...but if that's all you can come up with, then by all means, go for it.

I'd love some insubstantial, airy existence, free from bodies and floating around like substance-less, colourful stars... ahhh... I'd also love it if everyone became one, or at least could communicate telepathically, and all empathise with each other :) And we could ask questions to our hearts content. And if you wanted to feel something or experience it, you could. You could just wish to be dozing under the stars and you would be, or having fish + chips at the beach, riding in a hot air balloon...

As it is, I gotta make the most of this life I've got!

I've posted this same question twice in the visual arts section, but i"m not getting enough feedback, and I'm kind of recluctant and afraid to start. You don't have to be an artist to answer my question. Thanks.

I'm planning to paint a portraint of Leonardo Da Vinci using a certain theme. I'm actually going after Guissippe Archemboldo's (mind the spelling, please) notion of painting using themes.... such as, making a face only out of fruits, nature, or books! I'm planning to paint 3/4 view of Leonardo's face mainly using human organs, like hearts for his cheeks, large/small intestines for his beard, appendix for his eyeborws, etc...He was actually an anatomist himself, so I thought it would be a great theme to draw him out of human organs. My plan is to draw him out first, then place the organs in place to make resemble him. I'm going to use water colour, pencil crayons, and acrylic on large illustration board.

What do you think?

then did he create people knowing he would have to slaughter them sometime in the future? As with the flood.

Don't insult my intelligence with stupid answers, give me a well-thoughtout explaination that makes sense. None of this crap that God is great and can do whatever he wants, rise above your superstition and give good reasons how a person, any person, can be excused for premeditated murder.

I know that Buddhist believe in next life time. Is Jewish believe in next life or heaven?

If there is next life, will the person be punished because of the mistaken he/she made in this life time or will they have better next life because they have learn from this life time.

I got different answers the first time after I ask the question. Could you please answer the question with source? Thank you.

"put no other god before me"? This implies that they believed there were other gods besides theirs. If they didn't mean that, they could have said "put nothing else before me". That would have made much more sense.

I'm working on my book and my character is haunted by a reoccuring dream. I thought it would be cool if I had my character go to someone to find out if the dream has meaning and if so.... what it might mean. In reality, I'd like to run "the dream" past someone to find out what it'd mean. Since I do most of my research on the computer, is there a place on the web?

If god really does exist, and is all powerful, why does he let bad things happen
to name but a few
children being abused by a peodophile,
death to good people
starvation in africa (he alledgelly made some bread and summit else feed loadsa people in some story) why not do that again?
just generally let bad things happen to good people?

dont bother saying twaddle like god doesn't make or stop people from being bad - he is meant to be ALL POWERFUL

y is it that we follow the doctor's prescriptions, but not God's? Is it because we simply don't trust god to heal us or wat? because I know that I don't always listen to wat God tells me to do, but I listen and do wat the doctor says, and follow his prescription. Wat do u think?

if Mary would have said NO to bear Jesus and admit that Jesus was NOT Joseph's child. In other words Mary might have committed adultery ?

Aren't we projecting a very limited and narrow perspective of our deity by making them into petty and easily-offended beings that are exact replicas of our sensitive and shaky self esteems? When those who have had a direct experience of spirituality, they don't get offended by any perceived misuse of the deity. Can we learn from them? Or do we think that it best serves our needs to treat our deities as small, petty projections of our own thought system?

You are a fresh MIT grad going to work in the big rocket industry in town. But you are different from most ppl here because of your smug belief in the scientific method.

Ppl make small talk by asking what church you go to. If you tell them you are not religious, they will be appalled and make sure you feel like an outsider.

So what church do you pick to pretend to be a co-religionist?
