Fellow R&S users! I have refrained from using Y!A for a few weeks or so, and upon returning to my beloved forum, I have noticed that there has been absolutely NO progress in the debate between Atheists vs. Theists! Nor will there ever be! What does this tell us about either side of the argument?

So if adam and eve were the first two people on earth, then they had children, then they had children, children, children, and the cycle went on to billions of people, how did people get different skin other than white?

When you try to scare Atheists with the hell threat, it's like a child trying to scare you with the boogie man.

Did you know that?

I consider myself a devout Christian in many ways. But I really have no trouble whatsoever seeing the Book of Genesis as an allegory, and a very fascinating, telling, and beautiful one at that.

Evolution, as modern day science sees it, is simply the handiwork of God. Think about it: only God could bring into motion the things that evolutionary theory claims happened. God created evolution!

So Mary was magically inseminated by the Holy Spirit, which would yield to Jesus receiving a mix of Mary and God's appearance?
Or was Jesus simply put in Marys womb by God so she would deliver him on earth to "save the sinners?" (And have no effect on his features.)
I highly doubt that Jesus looked like the light skinned, blue eyed, blonde haired man America pictures him as. If Marys genes were involved in what Jesus looked like, he would look more like a middle-eastern man than some white guy.
I'm not asking for facts. I'm only asking for opinions and thoughts.

I was just curious to know if there were any positive stories to come out of this. I know I use to be a non-believer. Well, I always respected Jesus but not the believers. But, I was wondering if anyone ever had the light come on when reading some of the answers to God questions.

I understand that the answers to these questions aren't exactly clear in the Bible or on Christian websites. From what you have read, what are your thoughts?

Is this what scriptures say? I know Paul writes about it, but some people think that he just meant that a woman's hair is sufficient covering for her. Do you practice this? Is it important to follow teachings like this that do not seem all that relevant?

Thanks.

This is to honour Mary the mother of Jesus not the mother of God. Again such an honour is not to be found given to mary in the Christian Bible. Out of 66 Books of Protestants & 73 of the Catholics, not one is named after Mary or Even Jesus.
You will find books named after Mark, Matthew & etc., but not a single one is that of Jesus or Mary.

It could heal this world, and make it a better place to live....as long as the truth was spoken always with Love and kindness and compassion and empathy? Do you think that this kind of honesty and truth could also heal personal relationships?

My wife of five years and I have two children and have always been involved with our large evangilical church. I, always being the thinker, am starting to have reservation about some aspects of christian belief and ideas. My wife is not very open to discussions that challenge any church beliefs or doctrine and I feel very alone and unsure about everything.
Sometimes I feel I don't have a right to believe what I want, like, this is what I am and now I don't have a right not to believe that perhaps there really is no such thing as a heaven or hell, holy trinity, be born again or burn forever. The older I get, the more I think about it, the more contrived it all appears.

My wife on the other hand, would fall apart at the mention of any of these things and it becomes somewhat suffocating for me.

please help

The national academy of scientists are 90% Atheists

Do you know more about the origin of life than the top scientists?

Do you know more about how cars were manufactured than the top mechanics?

Destiny drives us.
If we are to face a road accident, no matter if we are in-door person, there would become a reason for us that will lead us to that very place where we will die in accident.

What are your rational thoughts about it?

Yes or No answers please.

And please don't try any of that fake humility where you say 'Well, if I'm extraspecially good maybe..." I want to know what you really think.
I ask this because I've seen move than a few of you asume that you are on the VIP list. For example, saying: 'We'll be happy in heaven while all you Atheists are on earth in hell."
