Seems that way. Those of a more unitarian nature seem much more down to earth and respectful of other groups.

Do you believe God allows a Christian to forgive instantly, or is it a process?

Don't you think that their interpretation would be the most accurate? Since they don't exclusively use the New World Translation?

I have a student in my special needs class who is a Jehovah's Witness. Rather than continually contacting the family for confirmation, I would like to obtain "official" information regarding what is (not) ok for them to participate in. Thanks

Atheist's Wager
The Atheist's Wager is an atheistic response to Pascal's Wager. While Pascal suggested that it is better to take the chance of believing in a God that might not exist rather than to risk losing infinite happiness by disbelieving in a god that does, the Atheist's Wager suggests that:

You should live your life and try to make the world a better place for your being in it, whether or not you believe in God. If there is no God, you have lost nothing and will be remembered fondly by those you left behind. If there is a benevolent God, he will judge you on your merits and not just on whether or not you believed in him

Just a little indulgence here, since I've noticed quite a few fundamentalists/creationists/ dare-I-say-conservatives, seem to believe global warming is a myth created by the left wing, bleeding heart scientists.

Wouldn't it be safer to allow for the POSSIBILITY that global warming is real, start to shift away from burning fossil fuels, invest in "green" technology, and try to reduce CO2, than to RISK the possibility of tipping a scale we won't be able to reverse - a 40' rise in sea levels, the destruction of marine ecosystems, possibly even human life?

What do we have to lose by learning to live environmentally neutral?

The 10 Commandments are not what you think. I think you might want to Know that the only version in the Bible to use the word "Commandment" was in reference to the second set (after Moses broke the first). Remember, Moses went up to the mountain and came back with a set of commandments, Was shocked an enraged at the Isrealites behaviour while he was gone and smashed the tablets. He then went back up and returned with another set. The 10 commandments that u regulary see, are never refered to in the bible as the ones that god wrote on the stone tablets. They were just oral guidlines that God told Moses, and then Moses told the people. The actual commandments written on the stone tablets were as follows:






Exodus 34:10-26
Then the LORD said:
1. I am making a covenant with you. Before all your people I will do wonders never before done in any nation in all the world. The people you live among will see how awesome is the work that I, the LORD, will do for you. Obey what I command you today.
2. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
3. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land where you are going, or they will be a snare among you.
4. Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and cut down their Asherah poles [That is, symbols of the goddess Asherah].
5. Do not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.
6. Be careful not to make a treaty with those who live in the land; for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you and you will eat their sacrifices.
7. And when you choose some of their daughters as wives for your sons and those daughters prostitute themselves to their gods, they will lead your sons to do the same.
8. Do not make cast idols.
9. Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days eat bread made without yeast, as I commanded you. Do this at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in that month you came out of Egypt.
10. The first offspring of every womb belongs to me, including all the firstborn males of your livestock, whether from herd or flock.
11. Redeem the firstborn donkey with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.
12. Redeem all your firstborn sons. No one is to appear before me empty-handed.
13. Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during the plowing season and harvest you must rest.
14. Celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year [That is, in the fall].
15. Three times a year all your men are to appear before the Sovereign LORD, the God of Israel.
16. I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your territory, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times each year to appear before the LORD your God.
17. Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to me along with anything containing yeast, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.
18. Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God.
19. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.



It makes me laugh when people say they know thier bibles, and quote scripture like the back of their hand, but quote you the wrong commandments. The only set of guidlines that are refered to as commandments in the bible that were given to Moses are the ones listed above, not the ones you have been taught. Just open your bibles and read it before you go attacking me. Read the entire story, get the context, don't just read the scripture you know.

In the book of Matthew, in chapter 16 verse 4 it says: A wicked and adulterous generation looks for a miraculous sign, but none will be given except the sign of Jonah.

Can someone explain what is the " sign of Jonah?"

Can anyone honestly say that they KNOW the truth?

I know that science makes sense (facts) but I also know that there is so much that we don't know yet.

Is anyone open to the fact that maybe there is a whole heck of a lot more then science and/or God? What if we're all wrong?

Come on, it's not that far-fetched...think of how little mankind knew hundreds of years ago.
