Most names in the Bible were names that seemed to suit that part of the world so where did John, James, Daniel, David, come from? They have no similiarty to most of the names in the Old and New Testament. These are the names that are popular in America now.

This could be a person of any religious background. Please share your experience . . .

I remember at one of the lowest moments of my life a cafeteria cashier handed me a a little piece of cloth with a scripture written on it and said she would pray for me. Although our faiths are different, she was so sincere in her belief that it touched me.

AND, why are they so eager to combine Church and State? That's what it seems to be leading into.

The bible says thou sal not kill. It says in the bible that murder is wrong and againts guide. This means all the soldiers in the war that have killed someone in war, are going to hell. Surly they killed before. Killing would break the 10 commandments. According to the bible it says shal not kill, so that means under any circuim stance.

I truly believe in GOD and also that GOD was once a man, doesn't it say he created us within his own image. I read the bible at times, and in many he sounds so emotional the way mosess and other prophets describe his ways. Is God the father, Jesus Christ the son, and the holy spirit individual beings? Because if there is a father and a son should there be a heavenly mother? isn't it throuhg the power of the Holy spirit that God possesed created this world? Search in Proverbs chapter 8 there's some evidence. Who ever this woman of wisdom or in greek (sofia), there somehting else here in the bible we need to start searching for.

Isn't it possible that aliens put all the religious books here to trick us and see how dumb humans could be and what ridiculous things they would believe. Maybe it's a competition? The alien with the most members by the year 3000 wins and all the Atheists get 72 virgins for not buying into the bulls***. This is an entirely possible scenario. The reason no one believe it is because there is no evidence for it. Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

If someone e-mails you and says that you've won the Australian lottery and they need your bank account number to send you your money.. do you believe them?? of course not.
So why is it that someone can pick up a book and just because inside that book it says a man lived inside a whale, or built a gigantic boat to house the entire animal kingdom, people believe without question?
I believe there is a higher power and that it wants us to LOVE each other- and that means EVERYONE- including homosexuals and people of other faiths.
Why believe in a book that does nothing but poison people with hate? How do we KNOW it was written by who it was supposed to be written by and how do we KNOW it was "His" word? Why not just live like good people and not judge or Bible thump our way through life? When greeted at whatever comes next and asked "What did you do with your life?" I, personally, would much rather be able to say "I gave everyone a chance" than "I hated all the right people."

If you had no choice but to pick one, would you rather your child be:

1. Gay (not just attracted to others of the same sex, but acting on that attraction, if you get my meaning)

2. Atheist

3. Pagan

You must pick one. If you're going to say "Christian" or "none," don't bother answering. I'm not asking if you think this would ever happen, but if, despite all your efforts, it did, which would you rather your child be? This is just a hypothetical question.

Please explain your answers. Thanks.

Instead why do we want someone to do it for us....Are we really learning about why we are here or are we getting stuck in the loop of this human experience
