We don't believe in the Loch Ness Monster -- because there's no evidence. We don't believe in the Sasquatch -- because there's no evidence. (No, blurry photos don't count.)

BUT: We should absolutely positively certainly believe in god -- without evidence?

HUH?

And could they change it?

I ask because I was looking at a children's Bible one day and to my shock it used the word "Homosexual" (which in my opinion, does not belong in a children's book and furthermore was not even a word until the last century).

How many different "versions" of the Bible exist in print?

I don't understand on any grounds of logic (I know..his ways are not our ways...but c'mon...logic is logic) why if God is truly real and we are all to bow to and worship him, why would he not from the onset make himself known to all. Why is it just in one tiny corner of the globe that we have the history of that faith and yet through most of the world others have believed different things...and of God's and faiths that are far more peacful than The Christian and Jewish faith. That makes no sense by any stretch.

For the longest time, I thought that the serpent was Satan in the guise of a serpent. However, lately I've been wondering at the lack of Biblical evidence to support this. Can someone please help, using Biblical evidence only, please? I'd be really interested in seeing what you all can come up with.

how many out there believe in some kind of "higher power" or "order" in the universe... and what do you think it is?

just curious, since most of the stuff here deals with either atheism or christianity...

What is the problem with people accepting science as fact, and faith as exactly that: conjecture.
Similarly what is the problem with believing in a creator that created this universe according to natural laws?
It seems that the argument usually degenerates around these questions. Athiests such as Richard Dawkins would rather put their faith in science and humanity alone, but when asked how we all got here to begin with he says 'well, we're still working on that'. So in a sense he is still acting on conjecture rather than irrevocable proof that there is no creator. Which puts both sides in the same boat.
Creationists, at least in the extreme, seem to consistently neglect objective science when stating their arguments for a creator, and prefer to cite the book of Genesis as their proof.
Why the extreme disparity? I mean isn't it just obvious?

THAT NOBODY KNOWS???

Have you heard good things or bad things or not many things?
I just want to know how many people are aware of the faith. Also please tell me which region of the world you live in as that may make a difrence in your awareness level.

From time to time someone on R&S will express a wish that we could somehow harness all this diverse spirituality to do something good, rather than just arguing with one another. I personally don't see debates as mere arguing--I like learning how other people think--but I, too, would like to see us all band together to do something good.

What if we were to designate one charity each month and ask all who are willing and able to donate $1 by PayPal (or some like means) to that charity. Would you do it? Of course, we're not all from the same country, so that could be a stumbling block, and we'd have to be thoughtful about the causes chosen, but I don't think the obstacles are insuperable. Surely we can agree upon at least twelve charities a year.

Anyway, what do you think? Lousy idea? Can it be done? Would you do it?

I nominate the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA) as this month's charity. Donations can be made online at https://secure.mdausa.org/Gift.aspx

While the term "Son of God" has been used in reference to Jesus, it should be noted that God has used this title for many of His chosen ones.

For example, God, in the Old Testament refers to David: "I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, 'You are my Son; today I have begotten you'" * (Psalm 2:7)

This metaphorical understanding is furthered by Jesus' own words and actions. Jesus is known to have engaged in many human devotional activities such as fasting and praying. But perhaps the most significant evidence is that Jesus claimed to lack knowledge of the future because, as he claimed, only the Father possessed perfect knowledge. (Mark 13:32).

like a quarterly evaluation progress report so I know if it's not even worth my effort to try to keep being good to get into heaven at this point or if i stop taunting christians for a week and then I can sin like crazy for another weekend and maybe I'll still break even ?

how do you know if what you're doing is good enough to get you into heaven?
