Ok, so lets say the 'theory of evolution' develops and proof develops that cannot be disputed against, will creationist give it a chance, or sweep it under the rug as a trick of satan?

I think not.

Imagine once your child made a mistake you’d have to beat him/her senseless everyday for all eternity. And, you’d get to call that love!

ICK!

What is you opinion?

It's me again. I know I keep bothering you, but you keep avoiding all my questions. I have so many things to do but I spend so much time trying to figure out what you're trying to tell me. This game is so hard. I want to play a funner, easier game. Can I get a break here????

...for 1000's of years it was taught that God created all things. What happened?

Go lay on the grass (puff-puff), no seriously, go lay on the grass on a clear sky night, look up to the moon and stars and just lay there and stare, and tell me that all that just happened. You must seriously be coo-coos. Only God can make something so beautifull.

I don't mean teaching it in place of science, or even in humanities. I think it should examined as part of a Logic and Rhetoric curriculum, aimed at teaching children to separate fact from fiction.
For example, children could look at the Biblical story of the Virgin Birth. Viewed in the context of, like, reality, one sees that there are far more compelling explanations than to say that a miracle occured. They could also read through the unending series of Thou-Shalt-Nots in Leviticus and Deuteronomy, and ponder what sort of reasons a tribe might have for declaring that wearing clothing made of different fibers was morally reprehensible.

I think such a class could help instill our children with strong analytical skills, so they will recognize nutjobs like Jim Jones or David Koresh and not drink the kool-aid. They would also learn to think critically of "faith", and only accept what is rational instead of whatever hogwash their parents and preachers throw at them.

John Lennon's "Imagine" said if we get rid of religion, there would be no more fighting, no more war. But I think he took it a step to far.

It's fine to believe in what you want, but why do we try to force others to believe in what we believe? Is it because we think it's our job to save everyone, or is it because we want everyone to act the way we do? With or without religion, as long as we all have different DNA, we will act differently. So accept it and move on. Worry about yourself and your own actions, and your own relationship with God!

I hear some people talking about heaven and I just think to myself, "how boring!!" It's like the word, "nice". "Nice" is boring...no conflict, nothing to work for, nothing to gain, no reason to really do anything...just ...well..."nice". What do you do all day? Think about God? Just think nice thoughts?...Do you just have tea parties everyday with your stuffed animals in the clouds and talk about how pleasant everything is? Will God still ignore you up there like he does down here?

I hate drama for the sake of drama, but I need things to be tough...sort of a "work hard, play hard" lifestyle. Heaven has been described to me recently as a "work hard...err...umm...be a really nice person and make sure you smile!!" sort of place...LAME!!!

I'm not really buying that at this point in my life. I guess I'll see you in hell...I'll be the one with the blue hair in the corner of the club. Come on by, say "Hello"...I'll buy you a drink...

If you have a belief or opinion about Theological Existentialism, Atheistic Existentialism,
Agnostic Existentialism and or are just an Existentialist please comment on your philosophy.
In case you didn’t know an existentialist is a philosophical approach, it is opposed to rationalism and empiricism, that stresses the individual's unique position as a self-determining agent responsible for the authenticity of his or her choices.

I believe that they have vow of celibacy but I heard that it is optional. I am not catholic but i did look at catholic dot com and asked but nobody answered back.This is a question I would really like an answer to because a nun asked me to have sex with her and she said i wouldn't go to hell for it. I have to say that she really seems convincing to me. I am too embarrased to ask the priest . Oh yeah that brings up another question, If you cannot have sex then how can you have a gay priest?

Most of the images we have seen of Jesus were painted by renaisance artists of European heritage who, I assume, painted Jesus to "fit" their ideal "look", ie.: being white. I remember reading a history book that stated that Jesus was probably closer to a dark-skinned, middle-eastern looking character.

This isn't an evangelism section. This is a section to ask questions about religious and spiritual issues. Why should you have to be a believer to have valid, provocative, interesting, challenging questions? Why are so many believers posting questions that suggest nonbelievers shouldn't post here?

I was recently told that God created everything - except evil. Mankind choose that path....

From a logical, rational approch, how can a thinking mind reconcile the fact that you cannot choose a path that does not yet exist?? If a road does not fork, I cannot choose which path to take..I can only follow the one path available to me - blazing a new path would be CREATION, which mankind cannot perform.... How can I choose between A and B if B doesnt exist??

Mankind could not have choosen evil unless evil was already in existence. So, evil must have been created by this God - it wasnt created by Satan - because only God can create....

Someone please reconcile this fact for me...
