A missionary with a bag of food and a bible or an atheist with a bag of seed and a shovel?

Just asking. Not a troll question, a legitimate question. Doing a yahoo search on "god gene" this is what came up,

http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=god+gene&fr=yfp-t-501&toggle=1&cop=mss&ei=UTF-8

There are 7,940,000 websites that address that, a "god gene".and yesterday there were 7,910,000 - meaning in one day its gone up 30,000!

So, I ask again, is there a difference between Atheists and Theists at a genetic level?

And no, this is NOT a troll question.

God no matter what you may call Him is generally the same everywhere the peak of morality embodied...far more than that but for the purpose of my question it will suffice.

Faith

Good question with this one. Jesus gave us the model prayer which clearly says we are to pray to God the Father.

In other verses it is implied that you can pray the Father through Jesus.

No where do I see where you pray to Jesus.

What's up with that?

So that means Atheist are going to heaven. When I get there I will ask God to let you all come in, since I dont want it to be an exclusive club. Dont worry, you will get to heaven through me.

Ephesians
4There is one body and one Spirit—just as you were called to one hope when you were called— 5one Lord, one faith, one baptism; 6one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.

I do, infact it is not too far away at all. Get this the EU had a peace conference in Madrid about 2-3 weeks ago to take about ways they can renew the peace covernant in the middle east. The EU have now expanded their offices in Israel and are now talking behind closed doors, also Judah, and Samaria have been handed over the the EU temporarily.Sounds interesting. The EU now work in seven year terms, the exact time of the tribulation. And get this, the other day the EU are talking seriously about reducing their Nations down to a minimum.(10 kings)I believe the rapture is not too far away. Have you got your bags packed? These are expieting times. Jesus is indeed coming very, very soon. Are you ready?Me I am working on it as I need to give us my swearing, as I do have bad language that I need to improve. Where do you believe the antichrist will come from, I reckon the EU.

NO!

I went to this church that said if you didn't have the holy spirit that would be speaking in tongues. Since I was dating a girl that went there I didn't want to seem like a heathen so I spoke some jibberish to fit in. Now before you judge me let me just say I already know it was deceitful. But man, they were silly!

I think this verse will clear up the matter:

1Corinthians 12:30
All do not have gifts of healings, do they? All do not speak with tongues, do they? All do not interpret, do they?

Not everyone has the same gift...

What do you think? Am I just a heathen who lacks the holy spirit and I'm destined to go to Hell?

Hmmm... I don't think so. I think such things are not helpful, but sinful?

Bible says nothing about smoking. Can't be helpful but doesn't appear to be sinful.

Drinking? You can have booze but not to the point your are mastered by it. Bible says not to be drunkard. If it were sinful Jesus would not have made wine for water, no? However, being drunk could easily lead to sin... I speak from experience on that one. ;-)

Ephesians 5:4
and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks.

The above is the only thing I can think about for the vulgar thing. However, it is a suggestion. I guess, what kind of witness would someone give if they "cursed like sailor" ?

I think Paul said it best:

1Corinthians 10:23
All things are lawful, but not all things are profitable . All things are lawful, but not all things edify.

Thoughts?

I have to ask questions for a final project to someone of a different religous background. I was supposed to have an interview with a Rabbi but he had to cancel. Please answer these questions if you are jewish. This is for my rough draft. 1.How has religion shaped your life? 2.What are the challenges (if any) in practicing this religion?3.Have you ever lost faith and if you did, why? How did you get it back? 4.How do you view the scientific evidence that suggests the big bang theory? If you met someone in a romatic way, but they did not share your beliefs could you stil have a relationship with them? 5. How has the religion changes since you were a child or your parents were children? When you start to have thoughts or ideas that are consider "impure" how do you handle it?6. Do you pray everyday?7.If you do not pray do you feel guilty?Even if you are a devout person, have you ever questioned your religioin?If so, what was it.Any answers would be greatly appreciated and used as research

If you would rather live in another country because you are not happy with the one you currently live in, what is keeping you from doing that?

If we should be like God, then why do you (some of you) say that I belong to some wacked out religion when you find out that Mormons believe that some people will eventually become gods?

To me it seems like the next logical step. Yes it will take a long time, but first you become like God (who is perfect in every way), then, just as He is now ruler over this planet, you become like Him in that way too.

If the highest priority of KJV Christians is to be "saved" because of a belief, what priority is being a decent and moral human being?

Is that second priortiy, third?

Is service to humanity a third priority, a fourth?

Is making a number one goal for one self about one self a little bit selfish?

I read in a book called "The Mufti and the Fuhrer" (about the Arab SS Legions) that before the 1930s Muhammad was just called Muhammad, like Jesus or Moses, and people didn't have to be all careful every time they talked about him. In the 30s the Nazis aligned themselves with the Arabs in places like Iraq, and started teaching them how to do propaganda. According to the book this is when Arabs started adding all the titles and phrases before Muhammad's name, and made it illegal for anyone question his values or talk about him the wrong way. They got this directly from the Nazis, who had used thesame method to give Hitler his God-like status as the Fuhrer. Just like the Hitler Youth kids were indoctrinated to believe that Hitler was some sort of divine, unquestionable demigod, Arab kids in the 30s-40s were taught that Muhammad was completely infallible, and anyone who besmirched him in any way had to be put to death. Is this true, because it could help explain a few things.
