Please don't quote the biblical verse that all Scripture is God breathed... That is like a man who says that he has a letter written by George Washington. When you ask him to prove it, he points to the bottom where "George Washington" is written in cursive (even though any fool can write "George Washington" in cursive just as easily as any author can write in their book that it is God's word).

Please try to answer maturely. If you are a teenager at least use spell check before you flame religion.

some people say that God will have forgiven him but he was not repentant. Do you think so?

It takes a little time, but there's a fun IQ test at the following link that not only scores an IQ, but also lists areas of strengths for different types of thinking.

http://web.tickle.com/tests/superiq/?test=superiqogt

I thought it might be interesting to see if certain intelligence strengths relate to whether one is religious or not. What I'm asking for here is are you religious, slightly religious or not religious at all (or athiest or agnostic); what does the test list as your thinking style, and if it says, what are your top three intelligence dimensions?

Take the test if you dare!
(I'm not interested in IQ here as that's rather personal)

and your friend gets to divide the money.You can either accept his offer or both of you will lose the money and go home empty handed.If he decides to give you only 1000 dollars and keep the rest for himself, would you rather take the 1000 dollars or have nothing at all?

That is, assuming you take the story literally. If you don't, just use your imagination.

I'm picturing something like this:

(as they are leaving the Garden)

Adam: (mimicky voice) Let's eat the fruit, Adam! Come on, let's eat it! It'll taste so good, and make us even smarter!

Eve: (disgusted, grumbling tone of voice) Shut up, Adam!

Adam: Oh, you want me to just shut up, huh? Shut up and listen? You mean like you did when that snake told you to pick the fruit--the ONE fruit we weren't allowed to eat and eat it? You want me to shut up like that?

Eve: Look, I made a mistake, okay. YOU made one, too.

Adam: Who the heck listens to a snake, anyway, for crying out loud?

Eve: Just walk (grumbling)

Adam: Hey, I wonder if we can sneak back in? (looks back at the angel with the huge flaming sword) Crap.

Eve: By the way, you need to adjust your fig leaves. Your thing is showing (they used fig leaves for clothes, remember, after the fruit made them realize they were naked)

then all the swimming dinosaurs died, too. Why didn't all the other swimming creatures like whales and dolphins die?

on behalf of his name.

I find it hard to believe that men fight to convince you that their choice is the correct one.

I wonder personnally I am a Roman Catholic but what happens if at the end of my life I discover that Ala or Yehowah is the real deal does that make me a bad person if I lived an honest life.

I think that religion goes furder beyond a name of a figure you worship, is how you live your life and how you live it with your brothers and sisters (gennerally speaking)

What do you think......

Was it immediate or did it take you a while to get started? I've been a member for a while now, over 14 years, but I've never made it through a full Fast Sunday. I also don't think I was really doing it right. I know you're supposed to begin and end with prayer, but I never know if I'm going to try or not, so I forget to finish my last meal on Saturday with prayer. I'm going to really try this Sunday, and have a "game plan" so to speak. And I hope I succeed. I've tried sacrificing something else instead of food and water, and that has sometimes worked and I feel better for having done it, but I can't help but think that if I do it right I will feel better. I know it's not just about what I can get out of it, but I also know that until I'm able to have self-mastery over food & drink for 24 hours I'm selling myself short and not being obediant.

In response to Baritone's failed attempt to get a good answer to this... :)

Just answer the question, folks. Don't insult me for being an atheist, or dodge the question. Just give me an answer.

Why doesn't God heal amputees? According to you, he miraculously cures cancer, liver disease, and other illnesses that were supposedly incurable or terminal. These are called miracles by Christian folks.

Now I'd like for any of you to either show me a single amputee that has ever regrown a limb, via a miracle. Since you won't find one, my question is... why not? If god works miracles, then why will he not cure amputees, but will cure diabetes, alzheimer's... you name it... anything that is not verifiably a miracle...

Even though plenty of amputees pray, and deserve to have their limbs grow back... why don't they? Does god have something against amputees? Or does he, in fact... not exist?

This I'm asking in light of some of the Christians' answers to my earlier question on Joseph and alleged virgin birth of Jesus. if God was really not impressed by men (gender) why is every book in the Bible written by men? How are you sure that God inspired it; and why did he use men (who are sinful, according to your answers) and not sinless women (as implied by your same answers)?
