does anyone have a website of a collection of different creation stories? i know wiki could have most of them but it doesnt always have a lot of pictures.

needless to ask im an atheist but i think it's interesting to know what other's cultures, or how they were inclined to make a creation version unique to their culture... thanks

I definatly think so. I believe in God, but I do not feel the need for extremism. Nor do I believe that homosexuality is wrong, or that the evolution theury should be bashed. Here are some videos to show the new documentary on Jesus Camp:

I had a dream recently of this girl some friends introduce me to. Very pretty. The most interesting part is that I've had a dream about this girl before, and I've never met her. The first was such a realist ic dream I wondered if it had really happened, but I have since dismissed it as a dream, the secong, some friends introduce me to her at a party, and we are driving around in a junk yard. Any ideas? Perhaps the most irritating thing is that my mind is becoming occupied by this girl that could be fictional.

Seems like they both want to kill each other for not believing in the same things they do.
And each one will blame the other for starting it first. Like 4 year old kids. What kind of mentality is this?

Christians, Muslims, Jewish, etc...all point to one source, their "Holy Book" as being the logical proof for their religion. How is this rational?

If Jesus our (so called) loving savior was so loving why did he crash the market place in his temple? He took a huge fit.

I find it very ironic that atheists detest religion yet they don't mind using the hardships of religious people to pursue their anti-religion agenda.

i know that strange things from the super natural happens with me
from time to time. I see and hear things that dont be there. i hear m
usic and sounds comming through my walls, when nobody close b
y, be playing music. i see things out of the side of my eyes, when
theres nothing there.i hear someone calling my name, when there
s nobody in the house, or around but me.i see differnt loveones co
mming back to me on a regular basis. at times i hear doors open
and close, and the wind dont be blowing. at times i can feel the pre
sense of someone in the car with me, or watching over me until i g
et to where im going safely. there are many times that i am about t
o be in an accident, and someone leads me to safety, in a momen
ts notice. you can say what you want to. and believe what you will.
But i tell you that the super natural is REAL, and it is apart of each
and every one of us. GOD HIMSELF IS A SPIRIT. What does that
makes us? If WE MUST be CHRIST LIKE in SPIRIT,and TRUTH?

as far as how it all started.
How can there be more than one version of how we were "created"" This puzzles me as to why "christians, "muslims", etc. can't seem to understand or even WANT to understand this question. Because logically and more importantly, INTELLIGENTLY, there could only be ONE WAY anything TRULY CAN HAPPEN. Not hundreds of ways. Someone is LYING.

This seems to be the basis of all wars which means that their will NEVER, EVER be "world peace".

Samson was heralded as a hero, when in fact he did basically the same thing as the attackers on 9/11.

"Then Samson prayed to the LORD, 'O Sovereign LORD, remember me. O God, please strengthen me just once more, and let me with one blow get revenge on the Philistines for my two eyes.' Then Samson reached toward the two central pillars on which the temple stood. Bracing himself against them, his right hand on the one and his left hand on the other, Samson said, 'Let me die with the Philistines!' Then he pushed with all his might, and down came the temple on the rulers and all the people in it. Thus he killed many more when he died than while he lived." (Judges 16:28-30)

Why is this seen as a great act when it's simply the death of thousands for a personal vendetta?

OK, let's presume for a minute that God exists.

There is supposedly a war between Heaven and Hell. Throughout History hasn't every side in a war tried to demonize the other side and make it seem much worse than it actually is? Isn't it possible that Hell isn't as bad as is claimed?

How do we konw Jesus wasn't on some sort of Psy-Ops mission?

Hey, I'm 16 and was born in to a Christian family(just thought I'd give you a little background on me). Up until know I've always believe that there was a God and believed the bible and I still do to some degree. As of late however I have found myself questioning whether is a god or not, I really do no know what has brought this attitude upon me as I have not suffered any tragedies or anything that would make me question Gods' existence. I was wondering if anyone could guide me in to the right direction so I can again put my faith God. Basically what I'm asking is for some good scriptures to read or a website that could help me with these problems.

Okay, let's assume depite all historical and geological evidence that the Great Flood did occur.

Why didn't God just snap with metaphorical fingers and make all the "bad" people disappear? Why did he have to make a giant flood? Did the people he killed really deserve to die (the children and newborns?)

Noah was chosen as the cream of the human crop by God to survive the Great Flood, but did God not know that this is the same guy that would get drunk and naked after the first wine grape harvest? The same guy who would curse his own son's descendants for telling him to sober up a bit?

That was the best God could come up with? An angry, spiteful, drunkard?
