If mountain climbers need oxygen tanks to climb Mount Everest, how were Noah, his family, and the animals able to breath on the Ark when they were above the mountains?

By yourself, I mean, you, who you really are. Like your natural interests, hobbies, talents, likes, dislikes, etc.

If not, are you happy? If you are, how can you be when your religion doesn't allow you to like yourself?

If your religion does make you feel good about yourself, why?

Hi i'm out most of my savings because of some scam artist got to me. I have a spasm in my chest that may be heart related but the doctors can't figure it out. Now I can't get the universe to pay me back. Plus i'm an atheist who i only believe in myself as a multidentional being who will be rewarded after death regardless of how i die, since I'll be going to a realm where there's no pain or suffering. Yet people have the nerve to tell me i'll ethier rot in hell or come back to the same miserable world until I get it right. Yet what about those Iraqis who believe that they'll go straight to paradise if they blow themselves up on a bus full of people who don't follow their religion?

Fellow Christians, I was wondering if you could give a hand to a struggling sinner like me...

I want to overcome my addiction to porn before it destroys me. Can you help me? Can you pray for me? Can you keep me in your prayers? I want to overcome it with God's help, but that will take a lot of prayer, especially since I thought I had it defeated myself a while ago... But lately I've been slipping into my old ways (I looked at the stuff a lot between 14 and 17 years old)...

Please pray for me and for my addiction... Help me to lay it all at God's feet.

Also - do any of you have any tips/stories (in addition to prayer) that could help me out in overcoming my habit? Life experience (of yourself or an acquaintance) is preferred. Also, please don't be a jerk... please give honest insightful answers.

I have heard many Protestant Christians on this site say that atheists have no incentive for morality because they do not believe that an almighty God will reward or punish them based on their actions in life.

I've also heard them say that God chooses whether to send someone to heaven or hell based only on whether or not that person believes Jesus is their savior.

Since these Protestant Christians believe that God does not reward or punish them based on their actions in life, should their claims that atheists lack an incentive for morality really be viewed as statements that Protestant Christians lack an incentive for morality?

Pro-lifers, I know what you will say already, please allow the pro-choicers to voice their opinion here.

There are tests available now that will screen fetuses for things like genetic propensity toward breast cancer, arthritis, etc, and we already know you can test for sex of the baby. Soon, as more research is developed, you will be able to test for things like height, overweight tendencies, hair and eye color, etc.

Is it alright if parents want to screen out undesirable traits, (aborting those fetuses) in order to have the child of their dreams?
Where do you draw the line? Is it okay to abort for only terminal diseases, or for debilitating diseases, or for any trait you find personally undesirable, like being overweight?

Cheers Acid, you prompted this question, now have at it.

I know enough about most religions, but the thing is I don't know everything. I was raised in a Christian family and my mother always taught me to believe, and I did up until the age of 16 (although I never really thought about it, I was just like ok i guess god exists). Now I find it wrong for me to stand behind something I don't even know everything about. Is this bad? And whether you are religious or not do you find it pointless to stand for something you don't know much about?

The Bible was written by people who were used as tools for God, so in essence, God was writing His word through man. How can you discount the Bible so easily when most of the prophecies in it have already been fulfilled?

When Christianity first came out, wasnt it a cult? Becuase a cult is supposed to contain a self proclaimed messiah, often saying to have divine revelations, it kept its religious practice secret, because of fear of persecution, and they are told that if they follow the teaching they will eventually be "saved". So basically why are some Christain groups so judgemntal on calling other religions cults, that should be ignored.

My friend asked me this, and I couldnt answer back so whats your opinion?
