Assuming that the cook followed the procedures correctly, and a rabbi had the usual oversight. Would the food be acceptable, or would the cook's different religion be a problem?

These basic ten laws have been around for milleniums. Would we think the way we do without them?

Since animals and humans share the same cell, then what it is that grants humans a soul and animals none?
Absolutely no gospels, thank you. Use logic.

Why are there so many Atheists logged onto the "Religion and Spirituality" section pushing their views? If Christians are just stupid, close minded, religious followers, why don't people just leave them to swim in their own sea of lies and deception?

How come God took away all the cool stuff to see that the people in the bible got to see? Like the parting of the Sea, water into wine, feeding thousands on loaves of bread and a couple fish....
To actually physically see a miracle would be the Way Coolest!
I know the angels still exist, but they should present themselves to us more often. I think it would help with Faith.

It's impossible not to cherry-pick from the biblical morals. If my father would be gay, I have to honor him, and also stone him to death at the same time, while murder is wrong. And this is just a simple silly example of many, many moral issues that need to be cherry-picked.

When everybody has to decide which part of the Bible applies to their own morals, how can they come from that same Bible? Doesn't cherry-picking morals from a book imply that person already had morals to begin with?

My fave is Romans 3:23 - 3:26!

23For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:

25Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

26To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus.

Quantum consciousness....

I'm paraphrasing but when a person dies, the cells dies and the atoms disperse into the ground but the quantum entanglement that existed in your active brain still exists. Might this play a part in consciousness? Might that entanglement BE partly or completely conscious or at least have the potential to be reconstructed in a brain? Far out stuff but it would have to follow the laws of physics.

...other gods? I was just wondering what Christians use to not only try to prove any god exists, but specifically THEIR God.

Some have listed the Bible as one, but pretty much everything in the Bible, down to the prophecies even, can be found in other historical writings, most of which are even older than the Bible (i.e. Hinduism, Epic of Gilgamesh, etc.).

So what specifically proves the Christian God exists?

[I realize it is essentially impossible to prove God exists. I'm looking for what is used as "evidence" that God exists. Thanks!]

just to see how many excuses and story variations the christians can come up with, And I was not disappointed. Most of you have very different interpretations of your own scripture. So my REAL question is: if the bible as written can be interpreted so many different ways, why even bother with it at all? Yes, it gives you a thoughtful way in which to live your life for god, but couldnt you do that on your own anyway??

Normally I refrain from this kind of thing. Normally I try to be judicious and as pleasant as possible, but this is just ridiculous:

Some guy asks a question and dozens of people blinded by dogma are chomping at the bit to try to save someone. Only about three people realized that the person who asked it was making fun of COLUMBINE! Dylan Klebold, the avatar of the asker, was one of the two kids who murdered all those kids in Colorado, and NO ONE REALIZED IT!

So I ask, is your dogma so deeply ingrained that you ignore history, morality (because don't be fooled, you DO have a moral responsibility to remember this event) and decency?

I'm wondering if you would be willing to come up with some sort of a symbol or something that you could use in your posts. That way, we can tell you don't mean anything offensive, but are simply joking?

It gets hard to tell the difference between those who are saying something in jest, vs those who are truly saying something in hatred or to stir up a controversy.

What if you did that, (develop a symbol) would it help ease up some of the nasty comments and make this a more pleasant place to be.

Most of us realize that the WSIDR is just a person meaning no harm. But unless you spend a LOT of time here, it's not always easy to tell who is serious and who is not.

Just like the Pascal's Wager Drinking Game, a symbol might help us tell it's just in fun.

What's your opinion on this idea?

or the idea of an established church where people are saying the same thing or the idea of an invisible God. Is that why some people behave so threatened when it comes to religion?
