First thing first, I'm Non-religious, it's nothing to do with religion...I know I asked this question several hours ago, but many people misunderstood me, thought I was religious nut, but actually, it's a question that my friend asked me several days ago, I thought it was interesting, so I just wanna know you people in R&S, who do you think?

Second, I have no intention to kill anyone...unless they wanna kill me.

third, my answer : first I'll kill the person I love the most--------watch other people die in front of you and wait for your death is too painful, so I'll decrease his or her pain by killing him or her first...besides, If I can kill the person I love the most, I can kill anyone left, it'll be lot easier....after killing all of them, I'll kill myself as an end.

What's you choice?

Well... God is a man, if christians can say when arguing that humans are superior that we are made in gods image, we are godlike, i can say to a woman, "Hey, i'm better than you, i am a MAN and so is god, i am more godlike than you", does that make me superior? NO! Yes we are like god, ok, i'm more like god than a woman, does that make me superior? Jesus was a man, the apostles were men, the deciples were. I am no sexist but honestly. I bet many people do go around saying "i'm a man and so is god so im better than women" christians seem to say that when putting down animals, "we are more godlike so we are superior".

In the old testament, the men who served God had to be circumcised. I understand that this was to show that they had a covenant with God. But why did it have to be shown through circumcision? Have any bible scholars researched this?

Does a melody ring in your heart? I sang I'm Trading My Sorrows with a friend on Thursday and now it's ringing in my heart and my head? Do you have a constant melody? Or does it change?

How is it that Mormons can deny (or change the meaning of) every essential doctrine of Christianity and still claim that they're Christians? It's like (on a much lower scale) saying you're an Elvis fan, hanging Elvis posters on your wall and then attributing songs to Elvis that he never sang, and denying that he sang "Heartbreak Hotel", "Jailhouse Rock", and "Burning Love".
Such a person is NOT an Elvis fan, no matter how many posters, lunchboxes, and refridgerator magnets he has.
So how is it that Mormons can believe the complete fabrications of a false prophet such as Joseph Smith, and hold in contempt the teaching and doctrine of the church for the past 2000 years? This is where Smith showed his genius in bringing doubt upon the authority of the church and of the Bible. Mormons trust the book of Mormon and the teachings of Smith and Young more than the teaching of the Apostles and the church fathers. Go figure.

Is it to prevent men from looking at her with evil intentions? If looking with evil intention is a sin then the sinner should be punished not the victim; or is it devised to save men from not committing the sin?

Though I believe in Jesus Christ, I have noticed many things about Christianity that has driven me further away from organized religion and more into just reading the bible for myself and getting what I get from it for myself.

Why do we keep Easter as a Holiday even though it was a pagen Holiday, and the bible has no mention that it should be a holiday? Why do we keep Christmas even though it was meant for the same and 12/25 is the date meant for some Pagen God and we do not even know when Jesus was born? Why do we keep Sunday as the Sabbath when it is really Saturday as it is for the Jews? Why do we use months named after Pagen Gods and days named for Pagen Gods?

All of this happened to help turn the Pagens over to Christianity, so that they could have something to relate to. Why do we keep these traditions when God says in the bible not to? Are we all damning ourselves and do not know it?

I honestly fail to see this. A Guy creates everything, and with everything I mean E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G, but when somebody blames Him for the smallest of things (you know, cancer,Aids, starvation, etc), people always start to shout that it's never God's fault. It's always free will, sin, devils and I don't know what other reason.

I'm seriously interested in how this works in the human brain. I don't believe in a god, but I can understand that others do. I just can't understand why a creator always only has to be given credit for the good things and never for any badness. It's like humans try to protect the creator from any responsibility. Why is that?

If my best friend would murder somebody, I would first not believe it, after that I would blame others, but at some point I would accept in my mind that he really did a horrible thing. I would still love him. Why does God have a free-from-responsibilities card?

why some people say that was God's will. but, you refuse to do it. I say if that is His will for you then He will do it through you.

Do you agree on this one.
