Wow, in my last question I only stated a fact that studies have been conducted. I was not assuming results were valid or not. ALL the studies see a negative correlation. I did not recieve one intelligent, rational answer from anyone religious. Only the Atheists could give subjective answers. Doesn't this say something? Sigh............

i know both believe in one god and they are considered to be the same god. and as i understand it they are both in the same family of religions so for what reasons did the two religions divide from each other?

I saw someone write, "Oh geez, I've never seen THAT one before," about why no one has come back from Heaven to testify about it's greatness.

Did it really sink in?

Several studies have investigated the relationship between intelligence and the degree of religious belief (excluding humanism), with most showing that intelligence averages decrease significantly with the "importance of religion" an IQ testee rates as apt. But most studies chiefly show that people with religious beliefs have lower IQ's and tend to be less educated.

I certanaly think so. One of the basic human right is freedom to choose religion. A child is far to young to choose their own religion so when a parent chooses it for them knowing fully that by bringing them up only in this one religion they will be stuck with it for the rest of their life it takes away that person’s right to choose their religion.

uttermost part of the earth to the uttermost part of heaven." (Mark 13:27). The Lord mentions the "elect" in various passages in the Bible. These "elect" appear to be sinners God has chosen to save from before the world was created (Ephesians 1:3-5). These "elect" also are the heirs of the kingdom of God (James 2:5). The idea of "accepting Jesus into one's heart" appears to be false. Is this the "lie" spoken of in John 8:44?

Every time I see a painting, drawing, etc. of the Flood, it usually consists of the Ark sailing through a vast ocean, breaking through the waves.

Why do they rarely ever show human and animal corpses floating around in that water? After all, that IS how it would have looked. There would have been dead animals getting tossed around by the waves. There also would have been broken human cadavers (of men, women, children, and infants alike) floating around in that vast ocean.

Also, don't forget that there would have also been streams of blood in that big, newly formed ocean. The gigantic waves would have been tossing people up against rocks, buildings, etc., inevitably taking off body parts in the process. Also, the ark would have been knocking the corpses aside as it tore through the waters, probably taking off some limbs, too.

Why don't they ever show that? Why not show it like it was instead of making it into some pleasant story, when it's really a tale of death and destruction

If two adults from vastly different religions marry and they are both very strict about their beliefs (save for the fact that they don't mind marrying out of their religion), who gets to say what religion the child will follow?

Obviously both religions cannot co-exist in the upbringing and the child will not be able to choose for themselves for many years, so how is it possible for the parents to come to a compromise?

Any parents who have already gone through this situation?

If you insist on keeping the myth of the effectiveness of prayer alive, you owe the rest of us a justification in the face of the evidence. Pending such a justification, I will excuse you for indulging in your tradition; I know how comforting tradition can be. But I want you to recognize that what you are doing is morally problematic at best.
