How some animals look. What is the purpose for any of these animals looks.
Hammerhead shark
Zebras
Tigers
Leopards
Toucans
I just find it hard to believe that the vast numbers of different life, all the diversity, from so many different plants and animals and people, all started out the same way. How much could the world have changed for life to first be dinosaurs, and later human and all the rest of it.

He makes an okay case, but I dunno how to meet good Russian women... I personally think that women here are spoiled and that's why men have bypassed the female by sleeping with each other...Is this religious? Aren't many Russians also Atheists?

Fact: Christians claim that the prayer is a system to communicate to God. And it is always answered in a manner of yes, no, or later.

Now, how does God respond, if I've prayed for a bad(jealous)objective : A murder to my neighbor, and to my disbelief, he was murdered (not by me) the very next day.

Is this coincidence or God’s will? If its coincidence, then why can’t we call "some" of the fulfilled prayer coincidence? And if its God's will, should the murderer be rewarded for fulfilling God’s will?

Islam forbids suicide without any “ifs” and “buts”. Life belongs to He who grants it, not to mortal men who are its trustee. To violate that rule amounts to a claim of divine authority for mortal man. The issue becomes more complicated when would-be suicide bombers are presented as “martyrs”. In Islam, however, it is not up to mortal man to decide to become a martyr. A martyr is either one who suffers at the hands of the enemies of Islam, often to the point of death, because of his or her faith, not politics, or someone who falls in a battle against aggressors. The martyr does not want to become one. He knows that the highest value is the preservation of life; he is put to death not by his own hands but by his oppressors.

So how, then, can you say it's the religion that allows this, when this article is one of hundreds that clearly show it's not? Please, if you have knowledge, answer these questions.

if we react to a situation today, but our decisions and reactions are based on what has happened in the past. does this tend to suggest we are conditioned to react in a certain manner, what does this suggest about programming and free-will. do we exercise free-will if we simply re-act based on the past, what is the difference between us and robots who are programmed to react in a certain manner? where does spontaneity fit in?

What is the reason for your answer?

I prefer to play in a place of worship as I feel like I am in the house of God and it is a much more peaceful environment.

There are more Jehovah's Witnesses than Southern Baptists.

The independent website "Adherents.com" has this chart (abbreviated and columns switched):
http://adherents.com/adh_rb.html#interna...

Religious BodyNumber of Adherents
...
. 16,811,519 Seventh-day Adventists
. 15,597,746 Jehovah's Witnesses
. 12,275,822 ...Latter-day Saints

The webpage had a footnote on Jehovah's Witnesses:
[quote]"** Jehovah's Witnesses: This 15+ million figure is the approximate number of adherents -- intended to reflect all those who consider Jehovah's Witnesses their preferred faith, regardless of current activity status. Figure is based on reported once-a-year memorial attendance (adjusted). Actual number of publishers was 6 million worldwide in 1999. Worldwide, the number of practicing Jehovah's Witnesses may actually be higher than the number of practicing Anglicans."[unquote]

At one point do we start calling Jehovah's Witnesses a mainstream religion?

I checked two websites, and apparently there and apparently there are now more associated with Jehovah's Witnesses than with the Southern Baptist Convention!
16,383,333 Jehovah's Witnesses
16,270,315 Southern Baptist Convention

http://jw-media.org/people/statistics.ht...

Are there any published figures to compare these two religions?
This seems astounding.what do u think?

I think you should fear the flying spaghetti monster and his noodley powers.

If you do not follow him you will be thrown into the hot pit of tomato sauce and the garlic bread demons will throw meatballs at you for all eternity!

I really want to know.. Certainly there are violent muslims and peaceful muslims. I already know that.

In other words, who more closely follows the meaning of Islam, the violent people or the peaceful people?

Most people choose to be selective as far as what rules to follow, which of the main religions has the highest % of completely devout followers? List them in numerical order.

And what are some possible reasons why they are able to follow their religion 100% in this modern day and age.
