Such as...I help someone, and they may say "Thank God". Or, for example, there is a fire and this one person manages to save a family in the fire. Someboyd might say "God gave you the power to enter that fire and save the family." What if it was just the person wanting to save the family?

Another example is, after watching the Lost Boys of Sudan, one of the YMCA volunteers says that they only came out of everything because of God. What if it was just that they were together and took care of each other?

I'm not saying there is no God. Its my belief that God gives you the means, of course, but why is it that somebody can't just do something without it having to be a result of God, as in "God did this" not John Doe did this?

Know what I mean?

I have been researching buddhism and i have realised its a great religion to take on, but you have to become a vegetarian and make lots of sacrafices, and i have already told my dad i want to be a vegetarian but he wont let me, so how am i meant to tell him i want to be a buddha when it consists of being a vegetarian?

I remember the violent demonstrations to to demonstrate how peaceful muslims were after the pope said islam was a religion of violence.... now i'm sure there are many peaceful muslims living quietly in the world. there must be. but if we all of a sudden woke up one day and islam was the only religion, thinking about these violent protests to declare themselves peaceful, Would the world be as peaceful as those violent peace demonstrators declared themselves, or would we have peace after they had peacefully killed themselves and everyone else off too?

What I mean is...there is always this moral to something. If you find money on the ground, the good thing to do is to go and search for its rightful owner (if you're in a city, if its in the country then good luck). Or if something happens in your favor, somebody might say "God is watching you, you have to do the right thing."

What if God was the one who made it so I could pick up the money? What if God made it so the good thing happened only for me?

Would the process never end?

I love the paranormal and I recently read that your fears,emotions,and birth marks can ll be "resadue" from your past life. I am not a buddisht or anything but do you believe in that? I have a strawberry birthmark on my back and often dream about being in ancient Egypt and getting stabbed in the back protecting my child. I have always love Egypt and studdied it sice I was a child. I dont know if anything is connected. I have also never really had a trust in my mother and she never did anything to me. I have always been "my fathers daughter". i also feel very safe in the bathroom. when ever i was scared i ran into the bathroom. i also have a fear of choking. am I being weird? or do u think some of these things are connected?

If you actually believe that this very complex universe with its multitudes of different parameters and some 12 dimensions 'self-started' then what was behind the self-starting . . . luck? What then caused water to boil at 212 degrees F and ice to float and not sink, which two are needed greatly for life to exist in the universe, as we know it? What then caused the universe to use only 4 dimensions and not all of the other dimensions available to it? Would Gravity work right in such a universe! If not a super intelligent, all powerful creator, then what could account for all the precisness of the universe?

There are lots of absurd conspircay theories out there that seems convincing to lots of people who lack skepticism skills. Although we may not know the answer to some questions, doesn't mean that a hypothesis that gives us answers is true. Conspiracy theories usually ignore things we already know, and often absurd.

How can a disprove a conspiracy theory to someone who is naive and falls into believing them?

Further readings on wikipedia may be helpful.

do they spend the whole day having homosexual orgies and lying and stealing? Do they really eat dead babies like my pastor says? Why wouldn't you want to be saved from that?
