It's apparently a well-known fact that the Bible teaches that lust is wrong. But for a good while now, I've been having the idea that, hey... maybe sexual desire is only a possible ASPECT of what true lust really is. Lust could only mean selfish possessiveness and not have to do with finding the person sexually attractive in the least.

Has anyone else thought of this? Or does lust as defined in the Bible exclusively mean desiring sex, and nothing else?

I guess I'm asking this because it doesn't seem to make sense that God would create us as procreative beings and then turn around and say it's a sin to find the opposite sex appealing.

What if the only way to make that happen was to support a communist regime like China? How about then?

I'll presume you would NOT support a communist regime under any circumstances, so my question then is 'How do you intend to end religion (assuming you want to) without using force'?

It's a simple book to get access to. Why are they so stubborn?

Seriously, you can still practice kung fu in between reading the scripture.

to die for our sins? If satan/adam&eve/whoever did the first sin then why couldn't god forgive humans instead of send his son to die on the cross?

I thought god was all powerful, why does jesus need to get the key to our salvation if god has the power to send us to heaven or hell? couldn't he just sort us out in heaven instead of send us all to hell.

Also how did noah populate the whole world by himself if god flooded it? there would be a lot of incest and the bible says incest is "forbidden".

How did Adam and Eve populate the world? again, incest was against the bible.

I have proposed to an Egyptian woman, and we are discussing the next steps about her family. I'm an American Muslim, not familiar with Arab culture. What should I be considering?

Why do people ridicule one anothers beliefs? I understand some people don't believe in God, isn't that there choice? Or someone is another religion and it goes back and forth. Either way isn't God a loving god. Isn't the whole purpose of religion or spiritiality to learn to love one another and live by the moral code? I have no quams as to what you are religions, sexaully, racially etc... it is all just a big waste of time to argue who or what is better. In the end we are all the same!

THE SAME GOES FOR INDIA. Next time, think about that before you go spouting off about the superiority or abundance of your religion. Think about that before you say "God" hates everybody who doesn't think like you. You wouldn't want to be a monster, would you?

(To those who will insult me with illogical answers - LOL in advance)

Besides the expected answer you will give (that stubborn = theism)... What "type" of people do you think were the targets of the collective minds of those who coined the phrase "stubborn"? Certainly the term is not merely confined to those with unyielding beliefs in deity... (If I am wrong, prove it)... Can it be that to be theist is to be stubborn.. and to be atheist is to be stubborn "as well".. What do you think the phrase "open minded" means? --- Again, that phrase wasn't coined with theism _only_ in mind...certainly there are non-theist "believers" who "ought" to be open minded... Why is it that you think of yourself as "open minded" (really, to be atheist is not creative or "different"- you don't have to be "open" to be atheist, it's easy!)... Convince me..
