Seattle is the city in the U.S. with the highest percentage of the population with bachelor's and advanced degrees - 52% have bachelor's degree or above, 26% have master's degrees or above.

Seattle is also the city in the U.S. with the lowest church attendance.

Do you think there is a correlation?

buddhist.He says you should not leave the religion of your traditional culture. Is this true, and if so why?

and there are devout religious people who spend their entire lives praying, worshiping and serving an idea whilst being depressed, bitter and miserable.

How is this possible? Doesn't the holy servant deserve happiness more than the non-believer?

The answer is simple. Life is a human experience which requires nothing more than attending to human affairs and concerns with 100% focus, effort and determination. This, in fact, is the only thing that has ever made a positive difference in our world.

If there is a supreme being or creator, you can rest assured this is all it would ever expect of us, and it certainly wouldn't be interested in the minutia of our paltry, individual lives.

If anything awaits us after we are dead, we will learn about it when we are dead, and then we will deal with it, knowing with complete confidence that we did the best possible job with our human existence while we were alive.

Isn't this the true Pascal's wager?

I have a dilemna. I am a 34 year old man who has spent 15 years of my life in prison. I am Catholic, but my memory of Catholic religious observence is very slim. I have tattoos all over me and I have been living in transitional facilities since getting out of prison. I am unemployed, having had alot of difficulty obtaining steady employment and have been forced to work in labor halls. After much consideration, I have decided that I want to become a priest and give back to society and the Church, but with my situation and background, I'm not even sure this is possible, and if it is, I wouldn't know where to start. Can anyone halp me?

I just got an email from someone who took me to task over one of my answers. Then he/she attempted to insult me by bringing up the fact that I'm Spirit-filled & called me a red-neck (LOLOL). I'd like to thank them for the compliment BUT this person doesn't allow emails. WOW! ROFL

and u know, if it is impossible for a black man and a black woman to have a white child vice versa, so how can you say that we are descendent of adam and eve, yet there are so many different skin colors?

unless your god made several adams and eves which can't be possible

This question is directed especially to christians. Is there any scripture that supports the NAU coming to pass?

I really believe in science, I have read Einstein and I believe in many aspects of Darwinism, and the big bang theory seems perfectly logical to me, I am even a subscriber of American Scientific magazine. But I have had many supernatural things that have happened to me that make my belief in God unquestionable, if you had witnessed the same things you would believe also. Why do you mock me because of what you can not understand? Some of the smartest minds in the world are incapable of having a relationship with God. I never try to force my views on you because I know that the Lord has reasons for you not knowing. But it makes me wonder about some of you when you emphatically state that God does not exist like you know for a fact, truth is we do not know about lots of things

Ive said this before. If adam and eve were the only humans made by god, then they had kids right. So they have kids right so who do they breed with next?? there kids have no one else but them selves. Which I may add is indeed incest. In are modern day we condemned this. But in the bible it is alright. So why would god wanna start man kind off like this? It is not only morally wrong but most of time the children are born with defects. If god thinks its alright then how come humans don't think its right today?

Ok Athiests, and this question is to Christians to. Ok if you're right and I am wrong, then when we both die, we'll end up inthe same place, the dirt. But If there is a God and he manifest himself down to earth and died for our sins so we can be cleansed, baptized and filled with the Holy Ghost, I end up in heaven and you end up in hell,(though not up to me) why the Athiest stand? If there is no afterlife then why stand for no hope to make you feel better when youre down. Or why waste your life trying to find answers than trying to live it being the best you can be and accepting a simple truth? When If Im wrong and your right then when we die we both end up in the dirt, and If Im right and you're wrong you end up in hell and I in heavan. I am only 16 so take it easy on me.

Just wondering how many of you would or would not enjoy doing this on your vacation.

copout answer of the day is "god allows sin and evil to reign"

sounds more like a chicken who can't do a thing about somethign more powerful

actually, there is no god or evil, no satan or good

just us people here and we are judged by our actions or character of helping or hurting

are you satisfied, think you know all there is to know, feel that you understand other people (even other local Christian Churches) and are free to come and go in your church with the support of your family and pastor?

why/why not?

OK, many of you will say "man created evil" or something like that. Well if god created us then he created us with the potential for evil. Why would god create man with the potential for evil?

OK, I have been wondering about this for awhile. Muslim's most sacred area is a big black box. Can someone tell me exactly why this box is so important, and what is inside it? I even tried reading the Wikipedia article about it, but it is very confusing.

Not trying to insult, just trying to become less ignorant.

Thanks.

I am a Catholic and I believe in God, I believe in Jesus.
Jehova's witnesses been coming by to my house a lot and teaching me about the bible... they believe in Jehova.
So now my mind is confused. Should I stop talking to them and just keep what I believe in?

If so, what have you heard of him and what do you think of him? My husband is really getting into his teachings and i think they are ridiculous. It seems Mr.Smith is trying to go above the bible and contradict it.
