Many things in life are especial because they are imperfect. Is perfection really a goal?

Shouldn't we have a holiday - just one day - where we all agree to only ask and answer in respectful ways? No calling the other people dumb. Challenging questions would be perfectly welcome, but no "Why are Christians/Atheists such retards?" types of questions.

When should be the Official R&S No Name-Calling Day?

What if I wrote a book about being a teenage runaway who lives under a bridge who struggles to survive and learns about the struggles of everyday life what it takes to get ahead. Would you read it?

in the bible it say it is ok to sell your daughter in to slavery and that you should kill people that work on the Sabbath. what I’m trying to say is that if you choose to follow the bible shouldn't you follow the whole bible and not just the parts you like

It could be the sanctuary of your parish church. It could be a place you visited once on vacation but you feel you must get back and experience that awe again. It could be a place of solitude. It could be you favorite easy chair.

Regardless of belief, where is a place that refreshes your mind and your heart?

For me, there is a park in Boston called the Arboretum. 265 acres beautifully landscaped with exotic plants and trees from all over the world. It's city property but maintained by Harvard. It is so beutiful because one minute your in the city, the next your lost in the woods. You can be in utter silence or you can see the most beautiful view of Boston's skyline. I can go there for hours and read and think, and it is always a re-energizing exercise.

Feel free to be specific as you want.

If you are not a believer in Christ Jesus, how do you keep them from harming you? Christians are protected by the sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God, and the indwelling Holy Spirit.

God orders the rape of innocent virgin girls
Has innocent babies bashed to pieces before their parent's
Drowns billions of people in the world
Death and hell to all that do not follow his orders
God directly says also how to treat slaves and if they defy their master to put them to death
God approves of incest several times even after he order us to stop incest.
These are all true from the bible
What super happy bible and God are you all reeading about?

why when i was a child cartoons, movies, tv shows were not so thoroughly revised and re revised but children during my childhood were healthier, more creative and more intelligent that today´s children?
when would people realize that when you say a child dont do/look/touch/read/listen to /watch whatever he/she will find a way to do it anyway.
Is repression a good type of education?

There are thousands of religions still being practiced in this world, and others being created every day. Then we must consider those who have outgrown religious dogma, such as atheists. Why do these brainwashed, wagon jumpers think anyone wants to hear their brand of mythology? Do they not understand that many of us have already learned their dogma, studied the concepts, and dismissed it as useless fables?

How did God come to exist?

Why do you believe in God and not Zeus, Allah, Thor, or any other deity?

"Either God wants to abolish evil, and cannot; or he can, but does not want to. If he wants to, but cannot, he is impotent. If he can, but does not want to, he is wicked. If God can abolish evil, and God really wants to do it, why is there evil in the world?"
-Epicurus

Why did God have to rest after the sixth day if he is all-powerful?

Okay I'm Catholic and I had my first communion not long ago and I will be having my confirmation this sunday and I need to know how often to confess because I don't want to take in the body of Christ if I have sins that need to be needed to confess first.
How do I know what sins are bad enough for confession again or how often to confess?

-- that Native Americans originally came from the Middle East via boat and some magic compass (despite a total lack of evidential support), and that some guy translated golden plates with the aid of a magic rock.

For those who object to a Mormon candidate, exactly how does this make him any weirder than the rest of the Republican candidates?

"Enter through the narrow gate because the gate and road that lead to destruction are wide. Many enter through the wide gate."

"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it."

Does this mean that the majority of people will end up in hell and that very few will make it to heaven?

Why is there no mention of Koala Bears, Kangaroos, Polar Bears, Bison or Penguins in the Bible or other Jewish literature.

I mean, with Adam naming all of them, and Noah saving all of them, obviously the Hebrews must have KNOWN about them.

why weren't all humans on earth at that time his "special, chosen people."
why were they just floundering around with false religions in which, for all they could figure, the sun was god? Or the Moon? or that each one of those kinds of things were gods?

In the bible, many times it talks about how god gave jews victory in battle, slaying their territorial neighbors. Because all those people were all sinfull and deserved it? Hard to believe. But then again, every single citizen in the two CITIES of sodom and gommorah was so evil that they deserved death, so maybe it is possible. (sarcasm)

God had never shone upon those people his existance or goodness or truth, leaving them as primitive people completely without god's guidance, left to worship whatever their town leaders told them to, and yet he has his special people have great victories over these other people, killing hundreds of men in battle. that does not make sense.

For a small fee, you can be cryogenically frozen before you die so you can be brought back when medical science is advanced enough (Walt Disney had it done and is in a freezer in the basement below the Pirates of the Carribean display). If you had this done and it worked, what would happen to your soul while you were frozen?
