Some people say terrorist come out of ignorance or poverty. I dont agree. Osama is very well educated. He is also very wealthy. Some might say he is insane. I don't agree with this either. To me his action come from him being a deeply devoted Muslim. By this i mean he takes the meaning of the Koran and Hadith very literal. Which in a way would make him a good Muslim. Agree??

Wayne Friar, Ph.D., AIIA's Resource Associate for Science and Origins, says this:

Polls have shown that about 40% of scientists acknowledge a supernatural power. But the majority of the scientific community, especially evolutionary leaders today, hold an atheistic worldview. As support for their anti-supernatural worldviews, these scientists need mechanisms for the origin of life, especially humans.

Atheism needs evolution to escape from any implications regarding a creator. If one starts with Darwinism, certainly it is easy to escape from any obligation to God. Those opposed to their reasoning are branded as obscurantists who are trying to intrude religion into science.

Jesus died for all men Except ye repent ye shall all likewise perish luke 13;3
Romans 3;23 and Romans 10;13 Foor all have sinned come short of the glory of God and whosever shall call call upon the name of the lord shallbe saved.

Everyone has different beliefs and views on who God is. Muslims, Christians, Jews, Wiccans, Pagans, Hindu, Buddist... the list goes on and they all believe they have the truth. So who is right? Does anyone think there is a slight possibility there is no wrong way to worship the higher power that created us? Some people are able to seek god easier through different religions. Shouldnt that be the main goal? If we all believed that there would be no wars, fighting, persecution or intolerence between anyone (as far as god is concerned). Doesn't this sound like what god would want for us? My goal is not to get you to turn from your religious beliefs (whatever they may be) but to help you to become a little more tolerent and respectful to others. Do any of you believe this is a possibility?

Here are some of the similarities in their life stories.

Born of a Virgin around December

Visited by Magi from the East
Turned water into wine
Healed the sick
Cast out Demons
Performed Miracles
Transfigured before followers
Rode Donkeys into the city
Betrayed for 30 pieces of silver
Celebrated Communal meal with bread and wine
Which represented their flesh and blood
Killed on a cross or tree
Descended into hell
Resurrected on third day
Ascended into heaven
To forever sit beside God and become a divine judge.

What I want to know is how can fundamentalist Christians be so certain that Jesus was the Messiah when he had all this competition?

Dan Brown logic goes like this:

If a triangle represents the triune God, then after you have a triangle, you have a square, after a square, you have a pentagon, so obviously the US Govt' has to do with Jesus. you can make a 5 pointed star instide the pentagon, once you turn that over, you have a pentagram, and that is why Satan lives in thsi country.

But anyway, I am see much more of this in Christian apologetics, which is turning me off to them all together. If people use this pseudo logic to prove something, how do they think they will prove their case rationally?

Sometimes they are the complete opposite.

According to God, the homosexual will end up in hell. According to laws of my country, discrimination based on sexual preference is not allowed, and a guy like Fred Phelps with his 'God hates fags' sign will end up in jail.

And I can make a long list of other examples here. I don't feel like discussing this particular example, the example is to show the point and was the first thing that came to mind.

I was just wondering, and being genuinly interested here: As a Christian or Muslim, isn't it confusing to live in a world where a lot of laws simply contradict God's laws?

And as a non-Christian or non-Muslim, isn't it annoying to fully live according to the laws of your country, and still be pointed out as a sinner by somebody else's God?

One thing I've learned is that time has no depth. My entire past feels like yesterday. So an eternity in Hell will not get any worse over time. The present is all you feel. The years don't add up. I mean, if you can't feel the past or the future what does it matter? Take for instance, senile people. They can be happy but they don't have memories so nothing changes. A thousands years of suffering might as well be ten years of suffering if there is no change.

most religions has claimed jesus is coming soon(or armagadon whatever), but they are not sure about the date, if the earth is still here by 2057, it means jesus doesn't exist? or there will be another 'story' told by the church by that time?

I am thinking about becoming a Justice of the Peace. It is definitely something that I want to do, but I am a born-again Christian and I want to know if there is anything that I should know that may compromise my religious beliefs, because I do not want to become a JP if it will compromise my beliefs. Serious answers please. Thanks for all of your help.

They commit crimes 6 days a week and go to church to ask forgiveness then commit crimes another 6 days. Don't they ever get tired of the lies?
