isn't that an oxy-moron? they say that they are more open minded than those with religon, then openly state that "there is no god, period. if you believe in a god, you are weak minded."
tell me what you think of this.

Eat the animals its for you type god. Meat loving god. Thanks. I can leave one type of meat if they want. I prefer to have liquid stuff, b'cause i lost set of my front teeth while on a conversation about religion. It's not by a miricle. But a very religious fellow droped his fist on top of my mouth. SoI prefer animal blood.

It seems that a majority of Christians are often against these ideas. Would these discoveries somehow prove Jesus was not God?

Thanks to all of you who helped out with the first one, i need to phrase the ? a little differently this time for another set of data. Please answer both questions honestly. Thanks in advance:

1) are you Left handed, Right handed, or ambidexterous*?

2) Do you believe in a personal god (one you can interact with), an impersonal god (possibly a creator god that does not interfere with our daily lives), Many personal gods, many impersonal gods, no god at all, or are you undecided**?

*if you choose ambidexterous for #1 please answer the following

1a) Were you born ambidexterous or did you train yourself to be?

1b) If you trained yourself do you remember which hand was/is your dominant hand? If so, what is it?

**if you answered undecided to #2 please answer the following

2a) are you leaning more towards belief in a god/gods, or disbelief.


Thanks

Pedophiles say they were born that way, they like children and they say its not their fault. Why do you accept this argument from homosexuals but no pedophiles.

Before you tell me the 'consenting adults blah blah blah', shouldnt you accept someone who says they like children but will not act upon their urges? If they say they will not act upon their urges why dont you accept them, and say they were just born this way.

100 years ago both acts (homosexuality and pedophilia) were considered abominations. People accept one now, will they soon accept the other?

Commandment #4:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:

What if every single person on Earth decides and falls into deep sleep at the exact same (relative) time and for one whole hour no one is awake on planet earth, what would happen?

Who would want to take over our planet, aliens or animals including our own pets?

There are so many different versions
The church hid the Bible and did not let the lay man read it for centuries
There are hundreds of gospels, yet only 4 made the final cut
There are many contradictions in the Bible

'Surely, they have disbelieved who say: "Allah is the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)], son of Maryam (Mary)." But the Messiah ['Iesa (Jesus)] said: "O Children of Israel! Worship Allah, my Lord and your Lord." Verily, whosoever sets up partners in worship with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and the Fire will be his abode. And for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong­doers) there are no helpers.' (Qur'an 5:72)

'Surely, disbelievers are those who said: "Allah is the third of the three (in a Trinity)." But there is no ilah (god) (none who has the right to be worshipped) but One Ilah (God -Allah). And if they cease not from what they say, verily, a painful torment will befall the disbelievers among them.' (Qur'an 5:73)

I'll tell you why. Because extreme intellect and reasoning powers do not equal wisdom. The man is extremely intelligent, even gifted - but he is also very stupid.

I don't believe in hell, but I want to know what religious people believe about it.
I know that many Christians believe that you go to hell if you don't accept Jesus as your savior. I would like to know if there are any religious Christians here who don't believe this and if yes, I would like to know if you can say clearly that this idea is not part of your religion as you believe it, why you think so, and who will still go to hell according to your belief and why.
If there are any Muslims reading this, I would also like to know your views about who will go to hell and why.

I asked this question a while ago but didn't get a good enough answer
Have you ever hear of 'the Epic of Gilgamesh'? well it is a mesopotaimian story about a hero in the city of Uruk. it was written BEFORE the bible. but takes place IN biblical times. however they constantly refer to MANY gods.
The epic of gilgamesh was written AFTER the flood too. genisis' version is practically copied from Gilgamesh. and we know it is true because wasn't adam froma ctiy that sounds somewhat like uruk?

what i don't understand is :

if god created everything then we should have known since the beginning that there was only ONE god right?
so how come this book that was written in early biblical times BUT BEFORE THE BIBLE mentions other gods and goddesses?

and PLEASE don't cut and paste sections from the bible, i doubt it will help much as it is the bible i am questioning.
if you think there is a really relevant passage please just tell me where in the bible and put in a web link

This question was just withdrawn by another asker it was so good I thought I'd post it again.

Asker:Some people don't understand what this Bible verse is saying. It isn't about forgiving someone who sins against me, it is about having authority to forgive someone for any and all sins they have committed against anyone including sins against God.

21: Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."
22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23: If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
-John, chapter 20

PastorBilly says: the only persons present in the shut room were the disciples, the Lord's first priests of the new covenant. Contrary to the false assumptions everyone is not given this gift of authority. Sometimes other verses are used as proof-text such as "forgive us our trespasses as we for those who trespass against us" (original version forgive us our debts....) .

the difference however with John 20 :23 is the ability to also retain sins. For someone to retain an others sins one would have to know of them hence 'confession'. All forgiveness of sins regardless is done in the power of God.
John 20:20-23 is a clearly indication that d'em Catholics got it right again. Hopefully more 'bible believers' will find this gem of a verse (instead of glossing it over) and really apply some faith and conversion.

I heard something about protestants coming out from the fact that Catholics at the time wouldnot let poeple touch the Bible and how priests would take advantages of people, take monEy from them; also this crap about being forgiven if you confess and being killed if you got caught with the Bible. Basically i just want to kow where Prostestants come from. Serious AnswersPLs!
