I've noticed several postings from Christians (usually in response to Jesus' return and are they ready) that say things to the effect of "Yes, I can't wait, I hate this world" or "Yes, I can't wait, this world is so awful." Is life really that terrible for some of you? What makes it so? Really, I'm completely baffled by this. I've got 15 years left on my student loan, 3 years left on my car loan, live in a dinky apartment, have a chronic illness that some days causes me severe pain, and I'm having a fabulous time. What makes this world so terrible for those of you that feel it's better for your messiah to return and end the world than it is to get up in the morning and take in the beauty of another day? I'm not trying to offend anyone, I'd just like to know why you feel that way. Thanks!

I have read a lot of judgemental questions today on yahoo answers. Telling people that if they have tattooes they are going to hell or if they do anything wrong. Jesus died for us because we are not perfect. Our flesh is sin therefore we sin from birth with our thoughts and actions.

Okay. I'm a Christian... but I don't understand how Catholics pray to a dead person (Mary). Someone on the board said she is the closest way to talk to God. Why not talk to God directly? After asking him about this, he then said it was like asking Mary to pray for us or to help us pray like when we ask our friends to pray for us. But Mary is dead!!! How can she help us? Help me understand.

I think not.

No one has figured out what those multiple-century lifespans were all about. Genesis time is a mystery.

Do we really know that the flood lasted 40 24-hour periods?

The disciples of The Messian are exhorted to "love not the world or it's things" for "the WHOLE world is under the control of the evil one"....... And The Messiah testified that "those of this wicked world would hate His disciples just like they hated Him" ;-(

The disciples of The Messiah were to be "in, but not of, the world"
indeed!

First of all, the bible blames Eve for all the sins in the world.

Then, the bible has all these rules about women being "unclean" and forced into seclusion during menstration.

Then, the only woman that Jesus hangs out with is (at best) a loosey goosey, and (at worst) a downright sl ut.

But women never seem to mind how they are portrayed in the bible.

Why is this?

They always sound pretty convincing when they proclaim them to be a gajillion years old.

If carbon dating is so inaccurate, it the scientific community blatently lying to us? Certainly they know carbon dating is only so accurate...

The church in Rome was split to Western (latin) and Eastern (greek) because of this attack, isn't it?

I have done extensive research over the years so I do know that what I experience is not ESP - as I do not have the feeling that I have been there before. This has happened since I was 11. I will have a dream and in that dream, there will be a moment of something simple in life – example is I drop a fork at a café I have never been to. Then 6 months after the dream I will be having lunch at a cafe I have never been to and drop a fork and realize that I am living a moment (same café, fork, etc.) I dreamt about 6 months before. I have yet to find anyone that has experienced this and there seems not to be any words for what I experience. These “moments” are never something major – very small, everyday things but it usually is with places and people I have yet to go to or meet.

So to honor Allah, on ramadan dan dan
We explode ourselves on ramadan dan dan

A lot of atheists use the contradiction argument when asked why God doesn't exist. Please, indulge me with these contradictions. Please state references and specific passages.

Do you feel that you are living the life that God has ordained for you?? If you somehow found out that Christ was coming back tomorrow, what would you do today??

Christians feel theirs is the only God namely Jesus. Nobody has seen him , and all reference is only via old books like the bible (numerous versions). Its the christian world responsible for invading Iraq, threatening Korea and so on.
Muslims feel theirs is the true God. He has no form or pic.all others are kafirs or disbelievers. Yet most terrorists in the world are muslims.
Hindus believe theirs is the true God. Yet they want their wives to be virtuous , while making out with all the other women.
Buddhists believe theirs is also the real god. If they had relinquished tibet to china, probably they may live peacefully in their own land.
Is the real God , only in the mind. ? a creation of man for control over another?

Minorities are always offended at stuff.

In the Genesis story Eve is the root of all evil in the world.

But I've NEVER ONCE heard a woman complain that the Bible all but blames women for all the problems in the world.

Why is this?
