Religion & Spirituality - 27 February 2007

So the most evil believer will be chosen over the best, most kind unbeliever?

Then what is the motivation for believers AS WELL as unbelievers to try to be good and moral at all since that is not what God himself even judges you on?
IF the wisest most powerful creator doesn't even care to differentiate between the most evil deed from the most charitable, why in the world should we care and what exactly then IS morality based upon?

What is the motivation for atheists to be kind, charitable, ethical, or even try to be good at all since they are doomed?
And what is the motivation for believers to be kind, good OR cruel and evil since being either one doesn't seem to make a difference, since they are "saved" for heaven either way?

(again, this question is primarily aimed at evangelicals and bible literalists aka "born agains", since not all denominations, such as Catholic, believe this)

Your favorite chapter? Favorite verse? My favorite book is Hebrews. My favorite chapter is Hebrews 11, and my favorite verse is 2 Corinthians 12:9. 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christs's power may rest on me." That is my favorites. Now I want to hear yours. Non-Christians-please DO NOT answer, or if you absolutely feel the need to, answer politely.

I mean, the first seed of doubt that was ever planted in your mind.

For me, it was when I was about six or seven, and I decided I didn't like the Adam and Eve story. I thought getting more knowledge was a *good* thing. I didn't think this meant that all women were bad. I didn't think we all needed to be punished just because someone long ago ate a piece of fruit. And when I told all this to my mom, she was horrified!

I always liked to find stories with "girls doing cool things." There were few in my kids' Bible. I discovered Greek, Roman, and Egyptian mythology. There were more "girls" doing cooler things in it. And I wondered whether the Bible was another book of myths, too.

So how about the rest of y'all?

OR do you think that the HONEST answer is : NOBODY KNOWS

(I Think thats the Honest answer,regarding how & why we even exist & i think thats the honest answer regarding where we go after we die)NOBODY KNOWS
theres no scientific Proof of an Afterlife nor is there any Scientific proof that there Definately ISNT an afterlife!
HOWEVER theres STILL a LOT of things that Mankind...STILL doesnt know!(For example,...Microwaves have ALWAYS existed! but mankind hadnt DISCOVERED it(Proved it's existance till the 19th or 20th Century!) i Think theres a WHOLE LOT of things that exist....that we dont even know exists(& if we dont even know that something exists,..then how can we Scientifically PROVE it?)

To those who believe that KJV is the only correct and true version to read, I was wondering, what would happen to those who read other version ? Do you consider them unsaved ? Lost ? or what ?

He hardly ever went there.His ministry was 99% to the Gallilean region of Northern Israel.If he married Mary Magdalene,well, what of all the stories of her ministering in France,and starting some of the first churches there?If he was crucified and buried in Jerusalem ,he wouldn't have had time to get married and have a son,since he had just cast 7 demons out of Mary M. An Orthodox Rabbi would never marry a non-virgin anyway and Jesus followed the Law of Moses.He did have a mother named Mary and a brother named Judah as well as James,Simon and Joses and some sisters ,maybe it was one of their tombs?(Judah is also translated Jude and Judas).What say you?

most athiests say that god can't exist because if he did he would have to be very cruel to allow all the pain and suffering in the world but isn't it possible that god has tried before and found the inevitable "you cant make one group of people happy without hurting the others" you try to make somebody happy and it backfires in the end the best thing to do is try your best to make it tolerable everything is tolerable cause if you didn't tolerate it you would not BE

I have to do a report on cults. I need examples of cults doing harm to us. I know that not all cults are bad, but I need things like the Jonestown Massacre.
