Bible prophesies said that the Saviour will be descended from King David. Was Mary descended from David? Joseph was descended from David, but apparantly was not the bio father of Jesus. How can Jesus be the Saviour?

Can anyone prove to me that there is no God and that evolution is factual and not based on theory? And do athiests believe in evolution or nothing at all?

The ER doctor is a Budhist and keeps the man alive, until an operating room is available. The catholic Heart Surgeon performs triple by-pass surgery. The entire team of medical people, the anestheologist, the nurses, the people who prep and sterilize the equipment....etc, etc, are a mixed group of many beliefs.

The Christian man wakes, from his surgery and his family is there at his bedside and they say......"we are so happy you made it....we spent all night praying for you".

In your opinion, who was responsible for saving the man's life and why?

If you have no interest in spiritual matters (other than to discount them) why are you here?
I have absolutely no interest/knowledge about sports. Does it make sense for me to be in the sports section bashing everyone who likes sports or telling sports fans how stupid they are??
I think 'aethiests' should seriously think about this question before you start typing? What keeps you looking at this?? Maybe you are actually searching for something. Think about it.

That means that the defending Christians condone hatred and intolerance. Why don't "correct" Christians band together to root out and stop the "incorrect" ones? Why do "correct" Christians simply say, "Not every Christian is like that. If they do such and such, then they aren't true Christians," and then simply leave it at that? Why don't these spiritually wholesome people DO SOMETHING?

Having images or statues of a wounded, bleeding, agonizing Christ is just like having a pic on your wall of a beloved person all in pain, agonizing, etc.
Why have such images? Wouldn't it be enough with just knowing what happened?

I know in Proverbs it says "Fear of God is the beginning of Wisdom.." BUT I am terrified..I love God but people tell me I am very hard on myself I keep imagining a scenario that when I die I am going to be chewed out for every wicked deed and lack of action of stuff I should have done that I am very scared, I had dreams where I descended to hell. I am very scared does this mean he is very angry with me? I have been missing church because I work a night shift but I pray a few times a week and have been doing my best but I dont know if my best is good enough and think the devil might be tricking me making me think I am doing my best when I could be doing better in terms of following the ten commandments and helping others....any verses or insight or anyone else ever experience this? I dont want to go to hell I have been there in my dreams and have been committed to mental hospitals before because I am manic-depressive, how can i make it so God isnt mad at me anymore?

I am an atheist seriously considering a belief in God. Can you show me that the God of the Bible is that Higher Power?

and your young bride-to-be came to you and told you she was pregnant but still a virgin? Do you think that he made up the story that an angel came down to him and told him to marry Mary even though she was pregnant just because he wanted to marry her?

or

What would you do if you were Mary?

If we fellow humans (Gentiles) can live a liberated life with in the laws God gave us all through Noah , Then why do we need all this confusing religion that is both east and west, the two daughter religions of Judaism.? Why do they both pressure us into being converted into their religion or either die the death or burn for ever in a lake of fire by a loving God. Not by being righteous but what you believe in makes you acceptable to their God. Yet God has always said it is your deeds that determine your righteousness. So Where the hell do they get off saying such evil with out any law in our land being broken? If anyone challenges their position they are labeled as a evil person. Speak evil of a Jew and you become wise in the eyes of these two religions? Why is it all so messed up?
Can we ever hope to see the birth right restored to the rightful owner, who God Himself has chosen to put a side? Or will we see this injustice for ever? I am not a Jew, I am happy to be who I am. I am a fellow man who is not a Jew “Gentile” Yet I must correct evil when I can, or at least speak out against it.

I know common sense didn't stop the "breathtakingly inane" theory from its 15 minutes of fame, but the Dover trial pretty much killed it, didn't it?

The same for Satan. Why are there so many christians etc. that believe in Satan and worry about him consuming their lives? Surely if there was NOBODY who believed that he existed then he wouldn't exist! Isn't that kind of what we want?

I've been thinking about this a lot. I personally am against all organized religion, but am for the right for anyone to practice what they want. Now, what is the motivation of seperating church and state if you believe the fundamental principles in life lie in your religion? Would not the religious person be inclined to incorperate their religion into government if they believe so strongly in it? I'm looking for an insightful answer.

OPEN-MINDED RESPONSES, PLEASE.
