It is well documented that there are. Compare this to dogs. We know that dachsunds came from wolves, and we have the history of their breeding on record. We can see the transitional forms in books and in the bones. It's a gradual transition.

Do you understand that every time we find a transitional fossil between A and C (call it B), you just claim that there is no tranition between A and B, and so on ad infinitum. You can't expect to see a year-by-year series. Geological process do not work such that you get that many fossils.

I'm begging to think dare I say realise that religion seems to be the cause of alot of the worlds problems. For example if, say, we abolished Religion Bin-Laden and his cronies would have nothing to complain about, all sorry most of the problems in Isreal would be solved, and Northern Ireland would practicaly be an oasis of calm.

My question is this, Is religion more trouble then it's worth?

let's say you were God
or a God...whatever
and you decided who went to heaven and who went to hell...

Let's also assume you're extremely spiteful and although you created the creatures whose fait you're deciding, you still want to punish them for petty things that they do.
Give some reasons why you'd put someone in Hell:

One of the primary teachings of the Jehovah's Witnesses is that Jesus Christ died on a torture stake and not a literal crucifixion on the cross. When Jesus Christ makes his return to the earth during the Millenium to establish his earthy Kingdom for 1,000 years, what will you do when you see the piercings in his hands? I respect the faith that Jehovah's Witnesses have to their beliefs, but the New World Translation is NOT the correct Bible translation...it's a man-made translation that has many human errors. Eating blood is another example of this misinterpretation. There is nothing wrong with giving and receiving blood transfusions. Many people in this world have been cured of many diseases via blood transfusions. You have to understand that people who get STDs made the choice to partake in a sexual sin or drugs and there are consequences to be faced with every decision we make. God does not punish people. We punish OURSELVES by the decisions we make and not choosing the right

Mark 13:32
"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father."

how can the son not know, but the father know, if they are the same. part of a single being. (if they are all seperate entities then wouldnt it be more idolizing to pray to jesus)

That this marks the 40th year of Israel's independence? Year after year.....pagan nations have tried to destroy her (Germany, Afghanistan, Lebanon).....our own united nations hates her (but wont admit it)......
This is God's country folks.....given to them by the God of Abraham, Isaan & Jacob many moons ago. And the bible says that,
"I will bless those who bless you and I will curse those that curse you" - Jehovah God

True...God has used pagan nations to punish her for disobedience but....has never left her or forsaken her.....just like us christians.

So I ask again....isn't it wonderful how God operates for His glory?

And if so, when do you think we will get rid of religion?

Evidence shows that in the Past, people got killed or burned at the bonfire for opposing religion.

Today this happens in certain places in the world, but it is not generalized as it was centuries ago.

Now even Muslims get divorced, disregarding what Scripture tells them.

Does this mean that we humans are retaking the Path to Enlightenment, the one we left off when the Greeks decimated themselves?

Whats up with all the really weird Questions? I mean referring to Jesus as a "Cross Monkey" and other things. I mean do we really need to be-little people that much. I mean how can we ever expect to educate if we keep saying really out of line stuff? I mean alot of these people have been born into a religion where its all they have ever known. I think its not really gonna help them understand us by making fun of them with crazy statements. I just think the reason they believe like they do is because they don't know any better. Do you think we can all ease up a little? I think we should ask more logical questions not irrational questions. What do you think?

"If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of this world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. Remember the word that I said to you, 'A servant is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also. But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know Him who sent Me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would have no sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates Me hates My Father also. If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would have no sin; but now they have seen and also hated both Me and My Father. But this happened that the word might be fulfilled which is written in their law, 'They hated Me without cause.'" - (John 15:18-25) Keep spreading God's LOVE no matter what.

They want to wipe out all religion, and the use of either genocide or brainwashing seem to be the only two ways that it will happen.

So if we got rid of you and your religion, would every other religion then become right?

Such examples would be of Brigham Young teaching Adam was God, and now most mormons deny it ever happened? Why is the mormon faith so secretive?

What is the Messiah supposed to accomplish? The Bible says that he will:

A. Build the Third Temple (Ezekiel 37:26-28).

B. Gather all Jews back to the Land of Israel (Isaiah 43:5-6).

C. Usher in an era of world peace, and end all hatred, oppression, suffering and disease. As it says: "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall man learn war anymore." (Isaiah 2:4)

D. Spread universal knowledge of the God of Israel, which will unite humanity as one. As it says: "God will be King over all the world -- on that day, God will be One and His Name will be One" (Zechariah 14:9).

How was he the messiah? Can anyone explain this?
