OK, the criteria for answering this question is as follows: please post your age, please cite the passage(s) in question, please respond ONLY if you think you found one, please only serious answers, please keep it short. Please do not post if you are an inerrantist or cannot cite the passage. I am only interested in answers from people who disagree with me.

For example: I'm 32 years old. I note a difficulty in the following passages, which may have come from a MINOR textual variation:
2 Samuel 21:19 "Elhanan . . . struck down Goliath the Gittite"
1 Chronicles 20:5 "Elhanan . . . struck down Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite"

Yesterday I asked why so many Evangelical Christians lie about their conversion experiences.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnqKWIn0XOFXFkfN7OynFD3sy6IX?qid=20070102124644AAsQL31

One of the dominate answers was that “everybody lies”.

So if it is okay for Evangelical Christians to lie about their conversion (since everybody does lie about something) why shouldn’t I expect the authors of the Bible to also lie through their teeth too? The nature of the beast hasn’t changed, has it?

Some say that Jesus was born on January or even at the middle of the year. December 25 is assigned by a pope to be Christmas day. Are there any theories on this? There are scholars who says that there wasn't any snow during the birth of Christ.

I am asking this to Christians......

2007-01-03 02:09:22 · 20 answers · asked by Anonymous

I know those of other religions do it too. I just want to know why. I mean is the church not a place for sinners? How is it that when my friends and I attempt to go to church we hear the nasty things that people have said about us there the next day? My father is an alcoholic and I wanted to take him to revival but my "Christian" uncle would not allow it. Also, why is it that most Christians do not allow others to speak thier mind. I mean am I supposed to go to Sunday School and blindly accept what they are saying without asking intelligent questions? I don't mean to rag on Christians per say I believe that most religions are too judgemental. What happened to the kind, understanding teachings of Jesus? Why all the Bible thumping hate?

After all, if *everything* is part of his plan, then the fact that I think Christianity is false must be part of his plan. Is it part of God's plan to send 5.5 billion people (the number of living non-Christians) to hell?

Well, in general he is a nice man.. married to a coptic Russian though he is muslim, but he told me that as he was you, he and his family had this disgust towards christians, to the extent that if they has a christian carpenter fixing their furniture and asked to drink water, they would later throw away the glass, and at school he and his muslim colleagues would not talk to christians for the same reason. I showd him how eccentric I found this, I feel weird till now.. What do you think?

I am an athiest. I was a former Catholic who was even and "altar boy." I believe that people can believe in whatever it is they want to, provided it is positive for them and the rest of the world. I appreciate, accept and respect other's beliefs and would never say that their belief is wrong. However, when people find out that I am an atheist, they instantly assume that I am wrong, anarchistic and I need guidance. They always, and I mean with 100% certainty try to do this. It is very annoying. I love civility, humanity and life more than anything but it seems like religious people, who by the way are supposed to be the most tolerant and accepting of others, well, they are the most intolerant and unaccepting of others. Oh, a side question, why do so many Christians say that Muslims are a terrible violent people when so many crimes around the world are performed by Christians. Murders, robberies, kidnappings. These are done by Christians also. I don't see Buddhiasts or Hindus doing this?

I was a Christian but when I red the scientific facts in the Holy Quran my eyes opened and my heart said there is no doubt that the Holy Quran is the word of God. (Not a Single Contradiction – Find One?.....you will never find it if you have the proper knowledge in the Quran).

Some examples of the scientific facts:

1) “The world rotates about its own axis”, this is mentioned in the Quran 14 hundred years ago. We have just come to now recently with our top class modern equipment and technology that this is true, but what technology existed 14 hundred years ago………exactly None.

2) “The earth is not flat but is shaped like the egg of an ostreg, which is geo-spherical”. Scientist have recently come to now that this is true (someone sailed around the world to prove it).

Who could have known this 14 hundred years ago?.........No body, expect God, which we call ALLAH.

there are many scientific facts in the Quran, a website you can see:

White people tortured people just for the color of their skin. Have u ever wondered when was God back then?

What is wrong with this above situation?
I will tell you and I want to see who agrees.
If I say there is a blue God on the other side of the moon, then it is up to me to prove it, not for you to disprove it!
I think this is logical! Who agrees with this?
Should the believers prove their blue, yellow, hundred armed golden or what ever God exists?
Who agrees that it is not up to atheists to prove that god does not exist but up to the theoist to prove that he does exist?

This is in the UK asked by a white guy, I'm just suprised that hair is covered yet feet wearing sparkly high heels are not covered. I find a high heel sexy and therefore find it sexually attractive to look at women wearing them.

Can this mix of messages continue? What do you think?

I'm trying to think of some that aren't and I think of having children, but you don't do that for the child, you do it for yourself.

I think of charity. But don't we do that to avoid feelings of guilt or perhaps in the hopes of building our character or otherwise making ourselves feel good?

Do we really ever do anything good for others to our own detriment or less, something that isn't ultimately in some way to our benefit (not necessarily material benefit)?
