If solomon was a great king, revolutionizing trade and marrying Pharoah's daughter don't you think that he would have made the papyrus? Why is there no mention of Isreal in any Egyptian or Mesopotamian texts.

The first son of God, born to a virgin on Dec 25, died in his thrities, and will gain his believer's entry into heaven upon their death was Mithra (Zoroastrianism, Persian state religion, 1400 BCE Hint: There wasn't even an old testament then)

The Exodus decoded only proved that the plague's were possible. If your going to turn the clock back 300 years you are going to need a better reason then "Let's see what happens when..."

CHristianity thrived because Constantine thought that Rome's Identity could be restored with a religion. Chirstianity was exclusive to within the borders of Rome and made the best choice.

Revelation sounds an awful like the "Year of the Four Emporers (69CE)". Daniel Sounds like the Babylonian Occupation and Jesus showed up just after Rome became Empire.

The 7 stars in Orion’s belt represents Osiris in Kemet and others religions as well. I thought Christians were not supposed to indulge in astronomy. Then why is it in the Bible?

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=amos%205:8&version=9

Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD is his name:

within their own states then does this not show religion is likely not the actual cause of men killing each other and that some other force like internal wickedness or desire for power of profit is the more likely culprit??

Wickedness, excessive power and excess profit can be conquered through adequate legislation but religion can not as history proves. Religion has in fact done way more good than harm throughout history.

It seems to me that creations serve the purpose of doing things that the creator cannot. People wouldn't need knives if they could cut things just as well with their fingernails. People wouldn't need soap if we could clean ourselves like cats. That's why we create those things. So what would an omnipotent God create us and the universe to do? Was he bored and created us for entertainment? Was he lonely and in need of company? Was he power hungry and needed something to control? Was he insecure and needed to prove his creative prowess to himself? He had to have a reason, right?

Was that what all of the slaughter in the Old Testament was about?

Was he getting rid of the bad apples before they ruined the bunch?

Why did he wait until all but 8 of the apples were bad before sending the flood?

Why did he wait until all but 4 of the apples were bad before he destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah?

If I was a good person and I gave you something really, really nice, a wonderful gift but then after I gave it to you I demanded you spend all your time thanking me for it for the rest of your years and I will not take the gift back less I d@mn you to hell, would this still be a kind gift, would I still be a good person? If I said that if you dont spend all your years thanking me for this gift that I will make sure you spend an eternity incased in fiery Brimstone, am I still a good person.

I believe in God but I have a hard time believing that the creator has the mindset depicted above even though this is how most religions portray the creator. God seems to be portrayed as a masterful being who will strike you down in vengence and have you burn in hell just because you didnt know of him or spend the life he gave you dedicated to worshipping him. While it is a wonderful gift God gave us, doesnt the conditions of this gift seem some what not nice, less than holy even?

"What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that all their prayer books and Talmudic writings...are to be taken from them."

"What shall we do with...the Jews?...I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews."

"What shall we do with...the Jews? I advise that their rabbis be forbidden to teach on pain of loss of life and limb."

"What shall we do with...the Jews?...set fire to their synagogues or schools and bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them."

"What shall we do with...the Jews?...their homes also should be razed and destroyed."
All the above were Martin Luther

St. Augustine: “Judaism is a corruption. Indeed Judas is the image of the Jewish people. Their understanding of the Scriptures is carnal. They bear the guilt for the death of the saviour, for through their fathers they have killed the Christ.”

I saw this on the History channel, stating it was a big rumor, not proven or disproven. I also heard he used occult powers to do his evil. Is this true? Also, did that Himmler dude really find the "holy" grail? LOL.

...in light of 1 Corinthians 14:33 which says "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."

Why are there so many interpretations of the bible? It must not be very clear what is meant.

2006-12-28 03:03:48 · 18 answers · asked by Anonymous

Believers accept things on faith and stop asking "why?" and "how?" questions. They accept answers about their faith and the universe relatively uncritically.

Atheists and agnostics remain dissatisfied and uncomforted with answers that are incomplete or that fail to hold up under the light of reason. They remain curious about the nature of reality and about the inner workings of everything from atoms to galaxies.

So, does the amount of curiosity a person embraces ultimately determine whether they will become a believer or a non-believer? What influences how much curiosity a person develops?

I know many thingss are taken out of context in the bible but i would like to see what people thought about this one.
Luke 14:25-31
A large crowd was foillowing jesus. He turned and said to them,"If you want to be my deciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison.-your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters-yes even your own life. Otherwise you, cannot be my disciple. And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot bee my disciple. But dont begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first caluclating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation, before running out of money, and then everyone will laugh at you.They would say, 'There's the personal who started that building and couldnt afford to finish it!'
