Religion & Spirituality - 25 March 2007

Does anyone know the answer to this or where to find this sort of information. I am interested to know just how many women these days are considering entering the Church.

Thanks.

What kind of evidence would be necessary to believe in a deity? Would you need to see Him or could it be something more personal in your life? Is your mind so made up that even if there was evidence you wouldn't accept it? I personally just became Christian after being atheist for all of middle school, high school and early college. I first began to believe again based on the feeling of hope I got after praying for the first time since being a kid. This helped me get through my persistent panic attacks and to stop smoking pot everyday. That was just personal though and the only "evidence" that has really been able to convince me to be Christian specifically was Jesus' fullfillment of the Old Testament Messianic Prophesies.
Sorry for rambling but I'd appreciate some honest non-sarcastic answers from atheists on what if anything would have to happen to sway them.

god created everyone and then we evolved. why is that so hard to accept in religion?

2007-03-25 17:55:53 · 26 answers · asked by Red Eye 4

In discussions with Christians, the only "sect" that I don't have many points against is moderate Christianity. The theory is that God used metaphors to the authors of the Bible because they couldn't understand the science we understand now. The only points I can think of are:
1) If God can do anything, why couldn't he make the authors understand and
2) why didn't he just create the world in literally 6 days (one example) so he wouldn't have to dumb it down later?
I'd love to hear any other points that you've come up with.

Alright, I believe in a God, but I am not a believer in any of the religions that I am aware of. My own personal belief is that a higher being, a God, created all of the necessary building blocks for life, basically just a bunch of useless matter floating around in space that came together and created something very complex and astonishing, life..and watched it evolve into what it is today. I believe that you only live one life, and when you die, there is just...well nothing, you just get recycled, back into the cycle. I also believe that this creator has absolutely no control over what happens in life. If anyone is aware of any sort of religion that is at least similar to this, I would really like to know what it is called. That would be much appreciated! Thank you!

I need a Bible verse that talks about how everyone's life has a purpose and or how one makes a difference in other people's lives! Something along those lines! I can't find any! Any ideas?

Through history there have been so many accounts,(some I agree are false, however, there are many that seem to me, wayyy too real. If you are a Muslim or Jewish, would or do u simply reject it, or are u open to the possibility? I mean, if you say it's all from Satan, then why would God allow so many to be decieved? These things actually increase one's believe in God.

I've seen some non muslims come up with the argument that in Islam, a raped woman must have four witnesses in order to be believed. That's not true at all. Propagandists warped that completely. Four witnesses is talking about adultery. I will post the verses that basically say that if a man accuses his wife of adultery and can't provide four honest witnesses, he is to be flogged with 80 stripes. I will then post the hadith that says a man who rapes a woman is to be stoned to death and the woman is to live her life as she normally would. Please tell me why you think the culture allowed this injustice to women. What do you think of the men who intentionally twisted this to let each other get away with rape and then murdering their victims?

[024:004] And those who launch a charge against chaste women, and produce not four witnesses (to support their allegations),- flog them with eighty stripes; and reject their evidence ever after: for such men are wicked transgressors;-

[024:013] Why did they not bring four witnesses to prove it? When they have not brought the witnesses, such men, in the sight of God, (stand forth) themselves as liars!

Did your god intelligently design me to have overly sensitive man-nipples? If so, why?

I mean - seen it yourself.... I'm not talking about "miraculous healings" of the body (UNLESS it is the dead being raised after three days of being dead, or an arm growing back after it had been chopped off)

Has anyone - anyone - ever seen a miracle of those proportions? Has anyone seen a sea part in half and then walk across the dry sea bed? (ps, the archeologist who supposedly discovered the chariots, giant bones and noah's ark, BTW, was proven to be a complete fraud! Just do a search of him and put the word, "Fraud" behind it)

I mean real miracles - no cancer miracles, please! My atheist uncle had a severe cancer that completely reversed - medicine still does not understand cancer that well, but there are medical explanations of why a cancer would do that and it's definitely NOT a miracle.)

Why should we believe the unbelievable miracles of scripture when they are so removed from our experience? The Apostles were granted the power to do miracles, Jesus said we'd do GREATER!

Many preach tolerrance, peace, and love. Just like yours. They differ in philosophies.
.
Judging is for God, not the people. So why do so many argue so hatefully?

Atheists say that they don't need religion to not do bad things, but they make exceptions when it comes to premarital sex and gay sex. You might argue that people have the right to their own bodies, but if you get someone pregnant or spread STDs through irresponsible behavior, how are you not accountable for harming others. There is a good reason for not having sex outside of marriage besides "the bible says so", because there wouldn't be as many people in the world dying from STDs due to the actions of individuals who couldn't control their sexual urges.

for some time now(3-4 years after 911) things have been seeming to get worse and worse everyday. I always thought that it was a fling but then natural events started to happen and major disasters, wars new technology. I was very skeptical of my logical thinking's but one day it came to me. Do you think that our world is soon at's it end events that were predicted in the bible are coming true!I turn to the internet everyday and ither i see or hear about is death or something destroying something! It was also written "That man would go out and Fro" Meaning that in the last 200 years human technology has advance like none other in time!Persecution is another topic in the news about gay's having the same rights and that another man and man shall be joined in marriage ....Even on ministries pastor's, preachers, ect are teaching the word of the end some may disagree. The General Epistle Jude :18: How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should have ungodly lust
