You're in a parking lot, minding your own business, perhaps you just finished your grocery shopping. Out of nowhere, you are accosted by an '80's TV star with a camera crew, yelling at you to repent, or you're going to hell. What would you do?

Are people going to live forever? Doing what forever and ever? Everyone is going to love each other no matter what? No envy? no desires? Are people going to procreate?
I Imagine there will be no killing, so there goes the meat.
Is everyone going to dress alike and have similar houses and similar families there's no envy?
It's like the tale of Cinderella, People are going to live happily ever after, and everyone accepts it, but does not really question what happens next, or how it's going to be.

I'm not trying to be disrespectful I really just don't know.
Couldn't God imprint any message he wants into our souls/minds?

I was raised Protestant Christian and I have a pretty poor understanding of the Jewish holy scriptures. Please help me with the terms, and to understand what it is that Jews consider their holy books. What are the Torah and the Talmud, and is there a difference between the two? Is there any difference between these texts and the Old Testament read by Christians?

In my culture, theres a prayer called: 'rain prayer' and whenever we dont get any rain for long periods of time, scores of people go out and pray in masses, for rain. Today, it rained for the first time in one year, last week, we had prayed for rain.

Have you experienced the beauty of prayer in your own culture?

I AM NOT SAYING ALL, just some and quite a few that I have met why do they feel that they should impose their belief system on others? Half of them don't follow every rule of their bible (when it comes to A LOT of them that I have met that “not judging" thing goes right out of the door), they tell you that your religion is wrong and your not doing this right or that right and no bases for what they believe other than that bible which has been tampered with a million times since it's origination. So please explain to me how they can tell people that what is right or wrong when their book is full of inconsistencies?

If you honestly believe the tower of Babel was in fact an actual account of how the human species changed races and languages, because they were trying to reach God and so they built a "Tower".Now if that was true then why doesn't "god" strike us down everytime we go into space and everytime we bulit gigantic skyscrapers?

if jesus died for our sins wouldnt we have sin if our mother or father were sinners? because if sin is passed on then wed all be sinners all over again? i guess sinning would be a genetic trait that is passed on through generations you cant one day have sin then have it completely whiped out unless you took out a human
gene from every single human alive 6000 years ago (as ridiculous as this sounds id love to see people debate it)

1. Could he hear prayers from the day he was born?
2. Did he start hearing them when he started going to the temple?
3. Or did they develop after he started preaching?
4. Perhaps they developed posthumously?

Also, if his telepathic ability developed during his lifetime, did he use it to communicate with the disciples?

ok i have noticed a trend here.

you ask for some kind of proof to back up a specific belief and the counter-point is. "can you prove the opposite?"

for those of you who do this, is this your way of avoiding the truth of your ignorance for what you believe? can you not come to terms and claim it is by faith alone? what is it that makes you post a counter-question to a question.

You often denigrate the atheists, when you yourselves are nothing but atheists in drag.

You assert that God just happened, denying the existence of Biggod. Why?

If one was once a born again evangelical Christian and walked away from God and, let's say for arguments sake, became a homosexual. Would you still go to heaven? Please provide bible verses.

Humans are probing deeper and deeper into the regions of space. If signs of life are found elsewhere in universe, even if they are just fossils, what will become of the Creation theory and the faiths based around it? Will Christians and Catholics change their religion and books to explain the new findings? Do you think it would have any impact on any other religion? I'm not looking for a "No thats not possible," answer, just give me a good idea of what would happen IF signs of life were found elsewhere in the universe. What would your religion do?
