Religion & Spirituality - 12 May 2007

Where has God been throughout mankind's history? If he is all powerful and able to help us, why is there, thus far, no evidence of his/her existence? If he loves us how could he ever condemn anyone to an eternity of suffering (hell)? Why would he not intervene in the horrific things that humans do on this Earth? Every possible abuse imaginable has been done by humans and yet this loving and ever forgiving god has not shown up yet? If your child was suffering, or about to injure itself, would you not intervene? Free choice is what will be cited as a reason for this God not intervening. Let me ask this then: if your child was going to put his or her hand in the fire, would you stand back and say: free choice. You put your hand in the fire then you'll pay for it?? No! Any self respecting parent would stop the child. And we are mere humans! Where is this god? I really would like to know. Until he at least helps us out a little, I don't believe anything is out there, except the ether!

As it appears to be the norm for religious beliefs to be taught, without there being any proof of the matter, shouldn't the alternative also be taught?

What do you think is the best way to meditate? I've been meditating a lot to get rid of anger and stress, and I know there are many different ways, but what works best for you?

One guess would be that the high-school and college-aged people of most countries are both less religious than their elders, and more inclined to be online for longer, hence more atheists active on Yahoo Answers in general.

That only accounts for some of it though. I have more theories, but I'd like to hear your opinions now.
No hateful answers, please, I'm looking for serious theories. (Well, funny ones are fine - just no "Because ___ group is dumb" answers)

And that they are not in touch with Jesus the Christ. How come he can say stuff like that to people, but he complains if others do it, and saying they should be fired?

My last question got a lot of answers that granted exception to the "murder" of "babies" conceived in rape.
I am just curious why rape babies are less innocent than other babies?
Because I don't get it.

I had a prayer request earlier and am amazed by the response I received. Most were so wonderful that I could cry from your touching words. Again God Bless you all and thank you once again.

BIBLE :
1-"How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God." It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God!"
2- But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none 4:21
(there's no time for sex or marriage, time is short)

QURAN:
1-"Beautified for men is the love of things they desire: Women, Children, much of gold and silver (wealth), branded beautiful horses, cattle and well-tilled land. This is the pleasure of the present world's life, but Allaah has the excellent return (Paradise)"
(Surah Aali-Imraan 3:141)
2- Your women are a tilth for you (to cultivate) so go to your tilth as ye will .
(The Cow 2:223)

Obviously I am speaking hypothetically. Now I know many of you are going to say that God would not allow humans to disprove him. Let me EMPHASIZE that I am speaking hypothetically. What if scientists could disprove God? Let's say scientists had evidence disproving God's existence and the evidence was 100% flawless. Would you Christians still believe despite the evidence??? Would your faith overpower your logic???

Some people down right hated what Dr. Bill Cosby said at his speech for Brown vs. Board of Education. He said the truth, and it applies to all races not just to black people.

Why do some people get angry when a knuckle of truth clips them on their chin of ignorance?

for those that didn't read the speech:

Since my last question was poorly stated, I'll rephrase:

What do we recieve salvation from as seen in these verses ?(I'm not talking about any other mention of salvation in the bible but these verses, since Jesus says we will recieve everlasting life in verse 55).
John 6:
51 I am the living bread which came down from heaven. 52 If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world. 53 The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? 54 Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. 55 He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day.
