JW's are always coming to people's homes. They must come across people that are nude whether they surprise them or the people intentionally do this to intimidate the JW's. Does this happen very often? Are you as a JW offended?

I was reading this one question, and an answer in it said "What does this have to do with me". This is not the first time I have seen somebody thinking that everything going on all over the world somehow had to do with them or benefit them in some way. What is so difficult to grasp in the fact that things happen for their own reasons, and that everyone is different? These same people believe they have some right to dictate to the rest of the world how to run their lives. What do you think of people who feel entitled to dictate to another how they are to believe and how they are to think? Do you think they lack control in their own lives, so they think they can play mind games and forcefully make other free minded free spirited human being do as they "command"? Do they get on your nerves? They certainly get on mine. Those who know me know I am a tolerant and respectful person and never intentionally shove my beliefs down others' throats.

Seriously, I have seen some very silly questions, and some very extreme believes and arguments, but do you think that it is possible that for one day, people could answer the question seriously, even if the question doesn't seem serious?

I promised to give 10% to the Church. Don't you think he could trust me? That would be one hundred thousand. Thank what he could do with all that? Do you think he really needs that much? Don't you think a couple of thousand would actually do?

I think that the bible and other "holy" books were written in a symbolic way. Some of it were real events and others not. Deeper meaning behind all the words? Does it not make sense that Adam represented Divine Masculine and Eve represented Divine Feminine? Two parts of us/conciousness? What do you peoples think?

Note to Zero-cool: Variation of yesterday, use of "I" "me" and "you" but not use of first name,
prediction: 47 answers

Use of first name in question would yield greater response is the hypothesis but this isn't a good test, but asking variations of the question will produce a pattern, which my current theory is use of first name and "I" and "me" and "you" in the question that appears on the main screen will trigger more response than the three individually.

Also might want to consider the impact on creating a "phil" account and asking "Hi my name is phil what do you know about me" type questions.

Is the results here "skewed" because the user Sean has networked with 100+ yahoo answers users?

Testing will continue

I'm sure most Christians realize by now that Jesus was Jewish and that he himself did not start a new religion. With that in mind, how do Christians see Isarlaism and Messianic Judaism? Are they considered to be forms of Christianity, or are they perceived as messianic sects of the old religion of Israel? Are Isars and Messianic Jews seen as right, wrong, or something in between?

(I'm Jewish, and I'm curious about what Christians think of these religious groups.)

I see it a lot in this section: "Atheists believe that life happened by chance"...."Humans came to existence by random chance"...

Etc, etc.

How is a God creating us any different in that? Did we have any influence on that? Wasn't the possibility just as big that He'd never had created us? Or had created a different species?

Isn't it then not also just random luck that a God chose to create creatures like us?

Okay, I'm going to talk a little about evolution, so if you're tired of this, this is your warning.

The wind exists without a doubt, right? How do we know? If I said "you can't prove the wind" and you said "just look at the trees moving" or "you can feel it now," I could say "God's doing that."

If I drove up in a corvette and told you "a tornado swept through a junkyard and this is what formed," you wouldn't believe me, right?

So I only have "evidence" that God exists, just like we only have evidence that the wind exists.

But there's so much evidence for an intelligent designer in the earth, that evolution couldn't possibly explain it all. The eruption of vestigial organs, the sudden appearance of millions of species, the lack of fossils that show the middle step between evolutionary periods, the grand canyon. The chances of all this being chance is a statistical impossibility thousands of times over, yet you believe it over the existence of a God. How and why?

Does he really care about evolution, where Cain got his wife, or how many angels fit on the head of a pin?

Or is he more concerned about his possible accountability to God for the choices that he made in this life? And since we've all blown it, isn't that why Jesus came...so that we can stand before Him, forgiven.

It seems to me that if the majority of human brains come to a certain conclusion, then that conclusion is logical by definition.

Even though it could be said that some religious people have thrown away thier minds to embrace an unprovable faith, still, it makes sence to them. No sane person would choose to believe in a thing that did not make sense in their mind. It is impossible to prove a spiritual theory by physical means. So anyone coming to any spiritual conclusions must use faith to do so. Whether for or against it. So a religious person would say that an atheist has thrown away his mind to embrace his faith, even though the atheist says it makes sense to him. Both say that the other side is ignoring "facts".

But if logic was defined as the conclusion of the mafority of minds, I think by definnition, it is logical to believe a god exists and illogical to believe one does not. Any open minded thoughts?
