Other than peoples word, the creation of the universe, god said so, jesus said so, and the bible said so
I mean the Bible is the equivilant of the flying spagatti monster handbook but the flying spagatti monster handbook is more believable

If prophet Muhammed was sent by God to deliver a message shouldnt it have been one of love, compassion, forgiveness, peace and the biggest of all tolerance, meaning a respect for other peoples beliefs? The term Jihad to me means condoning war or an uprising, it doesnt mean peace . Isnt that a negative for any religion? Shouldnt peace be the main focus of such a major religion in todays society?

the gap theory basically tries to explain the time of dinosaures and prehistoric man before adam and eve in bible terms ,it says this is the second earth not the first,there was a flood before Noahs flood ,demons were created by the souls of the first people on earth this was there punisment,does the gap therory give proof to the coming armmagedon and how dinosaurs are explained by relgeous people( acording to the bible the eath is only 6000 years old) or is it just another way for religous people to dissmiss science

I'm not particularly religious, but i do think Jesus lived, and he was a great human being, who like Ghandi and John Lennon, preached love and peace. I think he was a great man, but he was not 'God'.
Yet I have personally encounted a number of fundamentalist Christians who preach nothing but hatred of catholics, Muslims, gays, liberals, Jews, agnostics, Buddists,Hindus, women, etc, etc.. Where in the New testament did Jesus preach hate?
Where did Jesus say its okay to hate and harm others?
Jesus advocated helping the poor, healing the sick, feeding the hungry- yet these right wing Christians I have met oppose any social programs to help the poor- I know one fundamentalist Christian who hates the poor. I dont get it, why do they worship Jesus, if his views do not mirror their own?

Really so how is it that life began from non life in their creation myth, which is more absurd than the babylonian epic?
They are utterly confused and contradict themselves but they cannot escape reality and what their reason naturally tells them that life comes from life, it does not evolve, you must have intelligence and life to have those things, they do not happen by themselves, dead things to not change into living things, dead molecules and elements do not turn into living ones.

There was once a evolutionist who prided himself in being one, a believer in this ancient animistic religion, he thought he was sophisticated for doing so, because he read about it in what he considered unquestionable magazines, not knowing himslkef how these things were arrived at and by what inferences, he just accepted the final interpretation of others because he trusted they knew more abouthtis than him, and an ordninary human mind with reason cannot know or see the truth, but must rely on the mediators of truth to pass the mystery to him. Anyway he had a friend who was a devout Christian astronomer who had a carefully constructed model of the solar system in his laboratory.One day this unbeliever in God and believer in myth, came in to see his acquaintance,seeing the beautiful and amazingly constructed system he naturally wondered who made it.He asked who made this wonderful display with movement and accurate representation.The Christian man said nobody, it just made itself.

My brother's stepson is a deaf mute recluse. He has his own apartment where he sits and watches TV alone all day. He is proficient in sign language. Is there a Christian church in Oakland with a deaf mute outreach that could have a staff member or volunteer call on him for a sign language visit and extend an invitation to come to the church to meet and fellowship with others with a similar disability?

I was put off by something in the literature they gave me about them believing in speaking in tongues and in the laying on of hands for healing. I grew up Baptist and have attended a Methodist church for a while, and to me this is just WEIRD. Crazy weird. But I liked everything else about the church ( a "community christian church"). The minister preached the word of God, spoke of his personal relationship with Christ, etc. but I just can't get past this weirdness. By the way, nobody did anything extremely weird while I was there (but maybe they were on good behavior since they had a visitor?).

Anyway, my question is: Would you go to a church that essentially held the same beliefs as you, the important stuff anyway, even if they had the potential to shimmy in the aisles and speak in tongues??
