In Genesis 22:5 Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go yonder; and we will worship and return to you." Based on this verse what is worship.

you do realize that without god man doesn't even agree on what goodness and evil is. They think of things like "subjective truth" and the whole matter is rendered obsolete. Or they agree to make abortion legal. Or they think homosexuality is wrong for hundreds of years and then decide "oh, uh...well, its common, so i guess its ok."

Do you understand that? Evil--devoid of god's law--is decided by what is non-conventional. We don't even consult conscience, do we? There no scientific proof behind conscience, so it doesn't matter in the godless world.

i recently saw a question on this forum that went something like "Aren't you glad there is religious difference in the world, for variety's sake?" Humanity doesn't care about truth enough to survive on their own. You'll always have the big group of selfish people to make societal truth into whatever is conventionally pleasurable.

Ah...just felt like preaching. Now that that's out of my system, i'll go do my chem homework.

So...there is a lot of praying and worshiping...and everything is happy all the time...and it's nice there...we bask in God's wonderful light all day long...and WHAT? Nice is like white bread with butter on it...like vanilla ice cream...like cottage cheese without fruit or sugar... Can you say, "BORING!!" I would last approximately the length of 47 Earth days before going postal, flying to the holy gun shop to buy an assult rifle, and shooting the other residents in the heads for sport.

Seriously, I want nice sometimes, but not all the time...I want more Chris Rock and less Wayne Brady...more top-fuel dragster and less Kia Rio...more Halo and less computer Solitaire...more dagger-swallowing bear-training clowns that speak in a heavy German accent and less Teletubies...more recent post-baby post-rapper-moron Britney Spears and less Mickey Mouse Club Britney Spears.

An eternity of "nice" sounds like an eternity of hell. Thoughts?

Two different religions on each side of the board. I think it'd be loads of fun.

Christians always mention the hell threat to Atheist. They say they would rather take a chance on being wrong than face taking a chance of facing eternity in hell

That's basicly getting punked. You dont believe in your logic enough so you let fears control you

If so, why is She sending one message to men, and the exact opposite to women? The CDC have yet to identify a single case of a woman catching HIV through homosexual sex. By far the majority of women with HIV have caught it through heterosexual sex. (As have men, too, actually).

If God truly wants people to be heterosexual, wouldn't She be better off sending the same message to both genders?

Just because I don't believe in YOUR God doesn't mean I'm atheist. I'm agnostic, meaning I don't know what to believe, but I'm open to evidence. Is "atheism" easier to dismiss, since not believing is just as ignorant as believing is? Have you ever heard of a "straw man fallacy?"

....is the belief in evolution a religion?

You have to have faith to believe that humans evolved from an ape-like ancestor, just like you have to have faith to believe the Son of God will give humans eternal life right?

Micah 5:12 (NIV) I will destroy your witchcraft, and you will no longer cast spells.
Exodus 20:7 (NIV) "You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name

It is sobering to see how similar modern witchcraft (Wicca, or "white witchcraft") is to modern Christianity. Self-aware witches bless as well as curse, 'bind and loose', prophesy, pray, lay hands on, anoint with oil, etc. Some even consider themselves Christians with a superior understanding and power. A few even worship Jesus--along with a pantheon of other gods and goddesses--but totally reject the reality of Satan

Deuteronomy 18:10-11 (NIV) Let no one be found among you... who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or cast spells, or who is a medium or spiritist.

Jesus' miracles were done out of love in obedience to the Father. He did not do "miracles on demand" (see the temptation of Jesus in Mark 4:1-12. The temptation

I found a book in my mom's dresser called Children in Danger or something like that by Dr. James Dobson. Most of the things they wrote, especially about children and sex education. Has any one else read this book? Tell me your thoughts on it but I thought it was very ignorant.
