Do you think:

A- he'll look around him and decide that there is a God..

B- Won't really notice.

What I mean is.... does human instinct have anything to do with it? Like do we naturally seek a God to worship?

Why do people come to this section and ask inflamitory, insulting and down-right stupid questions? Or just make generalized irrational statements?

I do. The evidence for evolution is all over the place. This is why I like to call them "evolution deniers." The fascist creationist machine needs to stop spreading their anti-evolution propaganda and start embracing the truth. People would think that after galileo we'd learn not to do these things again, but clearly that is not the case.

There has never been a defined doctrine on the souls of animals. Thomas Aquinas taught that all life was a soul but only humans have an immortal soul. However, a priest friend said many years ago the Church has never said Thomas Aquinas was infallible and apparently Aquinas never had a dog or pet of any kind.
I have had other priest indicate, we really don't know.
Now the Bible doesn't mention the souls of animals because the Bible is salvation history. It deals with Man's fall from grace and Man's redemption. There would be no need to deal with the souls of animals.
So if any Catholics out there says they don't, I would like to know what makes them so sure - not that Sister Mary Ignatius told you so.

Atheist, what do you have to gain?Real answers please?
I asked this before,but majority answers were just people attacking and criticizing me.

Atheist,what do you have to gain by not believing in God? Again,real answers please


ATHIESM means No God-it is total farce-to prove there is no God they would have to be God and be everywhere at once to prove that here was no God.

when you make a lie you have to cover your lie -what are the options

John 3 repented and born again as Jesus says to do=now God is my best friend Jesus is more wonderfull every day - HE COULD NOT HAVE COME INTO MY HEART OR MILLIONS OR OTHERS IF NOT GOD!

A lady Said SHE GAINS FREEDOM WOW -to reject God is bondage of life mind and forever in hell to -where is the freedom in that-freedom to be your own god-to make your own rules -to kill or to be selfish or to hate & GO TO HELL-where is the freedom in that????

who ever loved and cared for you like God--Jesus came from heaven to die for you!

I mean it scares me a lot cause once you have lived for a billion years you have to live another billion. Would not it be very frightening to have to do this forever? Would one not get bored or at least very fearful?

I've already asked a question like twice and still have no satisfactory answers!
My question: Do pets/animals have souls spirits?

How can you say no? What happens to them? They just die and become worm food? And this doesn't apply to humans why? Are we sooo much more important?
2 days ago
Wait a minute. If your pet has a soul/spirit then how far do you go? Do ants have them? Do Plants and single celled organisms?
One of you guys actually had the nerve to say:
"It is only natural that anyone with a much loved pet would like to believe that it has a soul and lives on somewhere after death,but this is just sentimentality and by the use of reason it really does not constitute reality."
Which is just contradicting itself because you can turn it around like this:
"It is only natural that anyone with a loved one would like to believe that they has a soul and lives on somewhere after death,but this is just sentimentality and by the use of reason it really does not constitute reality

I do. I dont like it however its not my place to judge either. I mean I believe that there is a right to choice. Period end of story.

So did God apparently, so I dont understand why christians and other religious people have to step in and practice otherwise. Apparently God gives everyone the right to free will and thats why we have people "choosing" to go to hell, and diseases and all kinds of disasters, and why bad things happen....Because god gives us free will.

Why wont you just excersise the same thing dudes?

I am just saying--what do Atheists believe happens after death? Nothing? Well, then, what is the point of living? If there is nothing to live for, why live. Is the reason you don't believe in God because you don't want to acknowledge His existence, you don't want to change the way you live, or you resent God for something that actually roots back to other selfish human beings doing what they wanted for themselves? Please don't be offended, I am just trying to get to the bottom of your rejection of the Lord.

alot of anti-semitic talk has been going on for quite sometime. although, in order to be truly semitic these people would have to trace themselves back to the time of shem (son of noah). how can this be?

Jedi is great. Greater than cheesecake.

Do you remember the series of questions about cheesecake? Jedi still thinks of them...and shall bring them back if Jedi's rage is awoken.

Do YOU recognize the greatness of Jedi?
No really, how many of you know me. I want to know if I have been established as a "regular," and if I have...no offense...I need to get of RS for a while.

Where is the love that Christians speak about? Don Imus made a comment about some female basketball players being nappy headed hos.

Does that call for him to be fired? What glory or satisfaction is achieved by taking away someone's livelihood? If he did something wrong, which I do not believe he did, then does that mean that he should be forever condemned?

Throughout this whole thing, I did not see the love of Christ portrayed by the basketball team, media, sponsors or Imus.

I did however hear Imus's wife who asked that all those supporting Imus to stop sending hate mail to the basketball team but rather direct the mail to her husband.

Why do we not hear more about such a wonderful, Christian gesture?

Because uh it's actually not in the Bible -

It does say "thou shalt not kill" (basically)

but if you're an anti-rights/anti-abortionist and have any support for the death penalty, are you aware of what an astounding hypocrite you are?

A male relative was your brother and a female relative was your sister. People who speak English don't understand this. Actually in Italian they have one word for niece, nephew, granddaughter and grandson, Nipote. In Spanish the word for cousin is literally translated cousin-brother.

9 When the lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of God's word and the testimony they had given about him.

10 They cried out in a loud voice, "Holy and true Master, how long before you judge and take revenge on those living on earth who shed our blood?"

11 Each of the souls was given a white robe. They were told to rest a little longer until all their coworkers, the other Christians, would be killed as they had been killed.

Who is God going to judge and take revenge for the death of his followers? It can't be the actual people cause they would be long dead by then... So how is he going to do this? Is he going to send the people who did kill them straight to Hell once they die?

I'm not sure what this passage means, can someone please explain to me with good detail what it means?

Thank you, God bless
