Religion & Spirituality - 17 February 2007

I grew up being taught that the Ten Commandments were THE rules to be followed. However, I see so many accusations of sin that don't involve breaking ANY of them. So, here's my question: If the Ten Commandments aren't the rules to follow, then why did God waste his time with them anyway?

ExxonMobil -- resolutely disputed all suggestions that climate change was a real and present danger. Their goal, articulated in a 1991 strategy memo, was to *“reposition global warming as theory rather than fact.”*

You know, when an Atheists ask and believers accepted the challenge to answer and yet in the end best answer would be given to their own kind. Same thing is true when believers ask question.

I answer because the questions are interesting regardless who ask.

Of course the trends in the Earth's climate would make little since over only 6K years. Does this explain why so many batshite fundies deny global climate change?

All I have come across it very ignorant individuals on here. I believe this site is getting more evil. There is a lot of bashing on here by evil dooers. The atheist some of them are disgusting, and should be ashamed of themselves. and some christians on here i have to question thier christianity. It is only on here that I myself have come across hypocrites. A lot of atheists on here blaspheme Jesus and God, but do not worry atheists God is not mocked infact you yourselfs will be mocked. And some of the christians on here have this Holy than thou art attitude, whats with that? Is this because they feel more comftable behind a computer than acting like that to someone face to face? Because if they did, a lot of people would not respond to well. Christians do you find this site insulting?

You know - before the Big Bang -- when there was a perpetually uninterrupted state of "nothingness". How did the primordial ingredients behind the "Big Bang" come into being? How can nothingness spontaneously "create" ingredients to form a "Big Bang" event. In a state of nothingness, there's no such thing as particles, atoms, chemicals, and the like -- there's no such thing as "anything". The universe is an oddity in itself with no explanation for it's existence.

It is like a blame-game. The Universe is being blamed on the Big Bang, the Big Bang is being blamed on "tiny, hot, primordial ingredients". ...And my initial question still remains.

In what did the four Hebrews resemble and differ from the "magicians and enchanters" of the hidden that they advised to Nebuchadnezzar?

Daniel 1:17-20 (READ TO ANSWER QUESTION)

"17 To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds. 18 At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar. 19 The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king's service. 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom."

Then why do the earliest documented forms of religion, practiced by early mankind, involve the worship of a pregnant "great mother" goddess and hunting/animal fertility rituals? Shouldn't the earliest signs of religion point to the judeo-christian god?

Is it because some people pray and feel that their prayers are answered, and others pray and don't? If so, are there differences in the way they pray that could account for the variable results?

If a person who doesn't attend church prays, are their prayers as likely to be asnwered as those of someone who does?

Sorry to keep adding details but I find this point quite confusing. I will pray for clarification and look forward to your answer.

Have seen a number of questions about clones, religions, and morals. So I figured we could tie a few together.

First ; Is cloning part of evolution? In relation to the theory of Darwin.

Second ; Did god "clone" Eve? He used one of Adam's ribs to create a second human. That could be considered cromizone alteration and cloning?

Third ; If a person does have a "soul," and is then cloned, does the clone share the soul of the original, does it not have one, or does it recieve a new one because god is supposed to be "omnipresent?"

Last ; Do you feel cloning is moraly acceptable?

Please post intelligence responces. Sorry for any Typo's.

Thanks Bacladantu
