I don't mean their story, I mean where and how their story came about. Tracing religion's roots is difficult, but if you have any ACTUAL leads or accounts of them please share them. I know how to use wikipedia btw, again not looking FOR their storys looking for their origin.

Following on my question about the Boy and Disneyland -

Can an action be considered good or bad without considering the motivation of the person involved?

Consider a politian who donates money to a children's hospital so that he can get on TV and promote his campagin?

Or consider a husband who brings home flowers and candy because he wants sex?

Or a person who funds a new library but requires that it be named after him?

Of consider a person who follows God's commandments so that they can get into Heaven and avoid Hell?

All those things might be good behavior but would they get an "A+" rating as compared to a good behavior that is made without thought of reward (or punishment)?

I was watching something on I believe it was the Discovery Channel tonight about the Miracles of Jesus Christ. They had no way to explain how these where done. Who here thinks that these miracles were infact a miracle of our savior or the works of a magician. Which one of you believe in Christ?

No stupid answers please!

In today's world, many people have said they were Jesus and were returning to earth. If Jesus really comes, will we really believe it was him due to all the fakes, scientific evidence, etc.

When someone talks about a something they clearly know nothing about yet act like they do? While others around just listen because they don't know either.

To you, is life living well, or to be a good Christian, or living happily? If you do not succeed your dream and die the next day, will sorrow fill your heart, or will you smile to know that you gave it your best shot? Will you give it your best shot? Are you now? Please Share!!!!

If Cain was Adams first son and Abel his 2nd, following the lineage (or the "begats" as I call them)...who were the people Cain feared would slay him. Also, where did Cain and Abel get their wives from?

Are you poor and starving? Sick in body or spirit? Alone, loveless, without comfort? Are you a liberal or a gay? These things may be because God hates you and has cast you over into eternal damnation before you were even born. Because you are one of the Unsaved, God triumphs in your misery and mocks your suffering.

"But You, O LORD, shall laugh at them; You shall have all the nations in derision. O You his Strength, I will wait for You.
For God is my defense." Psalm 59: 8-9

Personally, I'm not religious, but I think religion is such an interesting cultural reality. However, when I come to this section all I every find are Christians slagging on atheist and vice versa. There's a lot of meaness and pettiness going on that doesn't need to be here and destroys the spirit of the Yahoo Answers. Does anyone else agree?

Experience 1

During a debate, a Christian asked me a question, prevented me from answering it, told me what my answer was and told me I was wrong about an answer that she made up

Experience 2

A Christian started a debate, became disruptive and rude and accused me of making him disruptive and rude

Experience 3

A Christian approached me while I was wearing an Atheist T-shirt, tried to convince me that God exist, failed and accused me of forcing my disbelief on her

Experience 4

A Christian told me that he was raised in church but God caused him to commit felonies just so he can go to prison to pay more attention to Jesus

So many pastors accused of commiting felonies
So many evil people seem to be so into God
So many crazy people be so into God

If you say the Rosary or if you have fallen out of the habit of saying the Rosary I'm posting this to lift your spirit.

I don't know if you have heard of the 15 promises the Blessed Virgin Mary made to all those who FAITHFULLY say the Rosary Daily.

Here is a link that tells you about it:

http://www.hli.org/rosary/15_promises_of_mary.html

These promises was made to us by Jesus Christ (God Himself) and delivered to use through Our Lady

It's truly amazing how such a small devotion as the Rosary could hold so MUCH rewards but it is the absolute Truth.

I hope this helps to lift you up.

P.S: If you do not believe in the Rosary or do not believe in God. In fact if you don't agree with what you have just read: DO NOT post a response!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
