Do babies have homosexual relations or kill people while in utero? Obviously not, so how can they be born with sin? It's not as though there's sin carried over from past lives, since Christianity does not believe in reincarnation.

Christianity does not make sense at all. I'm glad to be Agnostic.

Just want to know if any of your country is drying up with hardly any rain, and is it getting worse? Here is Aussie Land we are below 40% water in our dams. And getting worse. Probally due to this global warming stuff. So just curious as to find out if any part of Yankee Land is going through similar stuff. Water restrictions have gone up to stage three, and soon stage 4. I anybody gets caught abusing it it is a nasty fine and their water gets turned down very low, which means you will be able to wet a toothbrush and that might be it I think. And three strikes you are out, and you can go to Jail. Are you septic tanks going though that too?

The entire world needs to hear this gospel, yet it seems that many people that I talk to have not heard of Trent Reznor or his works. Some have even said such blasphemies as: "I think metallica was better."

Needless to say, I'm quite dismayed by this. If I start the church of Nine Inch Nails, would I get sued?

Have you ever wondered about the reason of our existence? Have you ever wondered why we die, and where we go after death? What will happen to us in the end? Have you ever asked yourself why God made the earth and all that is in it under man’s dominion? Why were the night and the day, and the sun and the moon created? What are we supposed to do during our lifetime? Were we created just to eat, drink, and enjoy ourselves before we die? As one poet put it:
“I do not know whence I have come.
I saw my feet walking on the road.
As they please I go and stop.
What am I doing here?
How did the road find me?
I do not know! I do not know! I do not know! ”

God has emphasized in many verses of the Qur’an that He did not create us without purpose. He said: “What! Do you think that I created you simply in jest? And that you would not be returned to Me?” (23:115) He also said: “What! Does man think that he will be left to roam at his will?” (75:36)

Here's what I mean. If someone hurts you, you're to turn the other cheek. Are you hoping that God will punish them? I need honesty here. This is a survey. Tell me why you forgive, and what you expect God to do about it.

I go to the Dwight Baptist Academy, and my science book is right here in front of me and it says that God created the heavens and the earth, and Adam and Eve, and that he tooks away the serpents legs and that's why snakes are the way they are, just like it is He who decided that birds should be able to fly and gave them wings. Why do people deny Science? God gave us science and taught us all we really need to know, so why do you keep questioning his divine wisdom--remember the first part of evilution is EVIL!

When a drunk Mel Gibson insulted the Jewish people, he didn't have a price of two million dollars put on his head like Salman Rushdie, he didn't have effigies of him burned like the Pope, he didn't have 300,000 people in his own country call for him to be burned alive like Taslima Nasrin, he wasn't forced into hiding like Ayaan Hirsi Ali, he wasn't forced to flee his own country like Oriana Fallaci, he wasn't found dead with eight bullets and two knives stuck in him like Theo van Gogh, he wasn't imprisoned and tortured to death at the age of 83 like Ali Dashti, and he wasn't stabbed to death in the face like Hitoshi Igarashi. I think it's clear to everyone who really "controls the world."

Did anyone notice that?

I'm not stupid, I know! I watched one of those disgusting movies with two guys doing the nasty in it at my friend Charlene's house last thursday and when they went in for a closeup on the hiney area, it grossed me out so much that I threw up, and it had nothing to do with the half a wine cooler I had drank, either. No wonder it's an abomination and a sin, just ask my big brother, Maurice, he's smart and knows everything!

As someone who used to be a theist and decided that it wasn't right for me, I still sort of wonder why people believe in theism. I'm not saying it's wrong to believe in God, jsut wondering why you do.


A while ago I asked this question sort of out of hostility, but this time, make no mistake, this is NOT patronizing you're faith, simply asking you why you believe in it.

The one thing I don't want is people to defend God rather than explain the reason for believing in him. There is a difference, and a lot of the hardcore religious people don't seem to understand that.


If you suddenly feel as if you have to defend you're beliefs, just don't bother, becasue you aren't answering the question and I'll jsut get it deleted and report you for abuse for spamming the question.
