believes in much of evolution. You can't deny facts. However, I believe that it was initiated by God. I also believe god filled in the holes of evolution (cambrian explosion). So.... what do athiests have to say about me? Do they still think i am ludicrous? How can athiests justify the orgin of life coming from a random mixture of chemicals that evolved into a single celled organism? Can someone explain it to me.

This is the response I got from one of the participants here when I asked about how others respond to the Jehovah's Witnesses: oh boo hoo for you. what a hassle it is to open your door. you're probably a fat overweight lazy piece of garbage who only wants to open the door if it's the pizza guy

What do you do when you get responses like this?

All of the music is in spanish and a large number of the congregation speak spanish only. An interpretation device can be warn but I find it difficult to block out what is going on around me so I can hear what is being said through my earpiece. My husband enjoys the worship experience and wants me to attend with him. I feel the language difference is a huge barrier to overcome so I do not go with him. Since I have no other place to worship and I don't want to go alone I just stay at home...alone. My husband has offered to go to a church that I like on Saturday or Sunday night with me but none of the ones we try are good enough. This is driving a wedge in our relationship! Any ideas??

I have been to Baptist, Southerns Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic,Jehova's Witness Kingdom Hall, Salvation Army,Pentecostal and few nondenominational. While I can appreciate them all I remain Catholic. That is were I feel called and at home. But I am wondering how many judge what they have never known.

I'm Catholic and my boyfriend is Christian, lately we have been talking about getting married, not now but in the future, I really would like to get married in a Catholic Church, but I love him so much, as long as we're married I'll be happy. Will he have to become Catholic to get married in a Catholic Church. I don't want to make him feel like he has to be in my religion to marry me. He has talked about wanting to go to Church with us (My family and I) to see what it's like.

I wonder how T-Rex could have made the long trip and finally clambor onto an ark, if he (and she) was (were) this clumsy and slow...

But wait...in asking this question, another question occurred to me: who went all over the planet, found these huge beasts, and then HERDED these Dinosaurs onto the Ark anyway? Ever think of that? Trying to herd Dinosaurs?? WHOA!!! RIDICULOUS!!!

And, BETTER YET, checking their genitals closely enough to make sure they were a mated pair?? YIKES!! The story just gets MORE and MORE SILLY!!!! Imagine -- lifting the tails of T-Rex's and Brontosauruses to check for the right equipment!!

"Whoops -- I know T-Rex testes when I see them. Sorry, already have a guy...I need to find me a T-Rex female now. Whoa, that one looks kinda cute! Hey Karl, lift that one's tail and check!"

How much more silly can bible fables get??

YIKES and CRIMINY!!!!

You think maybe it didn't really happen? Maybe a hoax works better without details?
Replies from Bible scholars and others appreciated.

In Mark 15:34, just before he dies, Jesus says, "My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?"

Jesus is supposed to have never sinned, ever, right? He's not even capable of sin, right? Well, how is this not a sin?

God didn't forsake Jesus, did He? God loved Jesus as His Son, and only wanted Jesus to go redeem all the sinners, and then come back on up to Heaven. So when Jesus said He was forsaken, at the very least, this was a lie.

And think about the context! The Guy who has been claiming to be the Son of God saying He was forksaken by God? That will rattle your faith. So even beyond it being a lie, he could have made all those people think that God was the type to forsake you upon death.

Please don't respond just to say, "See, Christianity doesn't make any sense and Christians are all idiots." I want honest responses from Christians or people who seriously study this sort of thing.

What is it about man that requires him to have some kind of god? Long before the bible, gods were worshiped by huge numbers of people. What is this apparent need for a diety? Is it just knowing about our mortality and impending death?

What about the emotional (and physical) dangers of giving birth to an unwanted child and then having to give it away?

Before you tell me that abortion is physically dangerous, I think you should know that you are 12 times more likely to die during child birth than during an abortion.

Please don't bring in other points regarding the issue. Stay on track.

Seriously guys. think. Theism is not a religion, but it encompasses all religions with a deity. Atheism is the opposite of theism, so it's a super category [like theism is]. There are possible religions within atheism [Zen Buddhism, LaVeyan Satanism, etc.]..

Does it rally take that much thought to realize your comparing an essence to a thing?

My dream rests with my two sons. They were a dream I had almost given up on. Now my dream is to see them grown to good Catholic young men and to live my life in such a way that I may never reflect negatively on my Lord and Savior. What is your dream? Whatever it is do not let it die. Where would we be without our dreams?

Why are the masses still using archaic social tools such as the Bible or the Q'ran when improved tools already exist. Bear in mind, I'm not saying that those books don't have value, but since then we have developed much more valuable social philosophies that are taken as invalid just so we can promote the myth of faith. Why are we doing this?

I'm am truly against abortion! How can some countries even legalize it?! All countries have laws and punishments for killins. Isn't it abortion is killing too? This is hypocrisy! No matter what is the case or situation, abortion deals with lives of innocent LIVING things.

How can an INNOCENT and SINLESS child die by abortion because of the decisions of DEVIOUS and SINFUL people? Women who choose abortion are COWARDS because they cannot accept their responsibility. Life is full of choices and consequences. Whatever we choose to do, we need to accept the responsibility of our choices. They made the choice to have sex, therefore, they need to accept possible consequences like having a baby. There is no UNWANTED CHILD in God's eyes. Abortion is barbaric and makes human's status lower than animals and equates to Satan's evil. How can some societies/countries accept that? It's cruel and harsh because we are dealing with LIFE, INNOCENCE, MORALITY AND HUMAN CONSCIENCE.

I mean he is just another person that was choosen by a group of people to become the pope, it aint like he came down from the heavens saying he was the new god, and if that happen I bet you they would addore him more. Then again catholics treat the virgin mary like she was God instead of God being God. I dont know why. They also create saints like they were babies, every year they have a new one. Why is the pope more important than any other pperson, what if one of the popes became the anticrist, what if the pope is gay, what if the pope got married????I just dont get it.
