if you believed in God, and experienced his grace and mercy would you ever not believe?

i can understand if you never believed in God. but if you did, could you ever just stop, or would there always be something still there?

even if you think the bible is full of mistakes, or the church is full of liars...

Okay, a question for all those who think we evolved from apes... What did the apes evolve from? And for that matter, what did all the dinosaurs evolve from?

It amazes me that these people undermine our dignity as a species by wrongly saying that our abilties as a species are all down to some non-existent supernatural being. I reject the idea that children are born evil.

Buddhism and Hinduism (sp?) seems very far-fetched to me.

Does that strengthen or weaken the argument since …

we are also born ignorant, illiterate, selfish, nearly blind, unable to speak or comprehend language, ‘handicapped’ and we poop on ourselves?

Does the fact that we are all born illiterate validate the belief that illiterate people are more rational about literature than the literate?

I'm a skeptic, enlighten me.......!
Were they created, or did they actually evolve from dust?
Are they just a figment of a True Human Beings imagination?
Say it isn't so, they can't be real!
Is there any proof that any have survived the flood or the ice age?

I'm sure I'm going to get a lot of Christians on here saying "Because it's the only one that's correct" or "The only one that matters" or so on. Go ahead and waste your time, because that's not what I'm asking. Here's the question:

Many times, I have been asked by Christians whether or not I've actually read the Bible, tried to go to Church and so on. As someone asked here just recently, did I decide against Christianity after honest research, or because of things that had nothing to do with it? And yet, no one asks if they researched Paganism, Hinduism, Voudoun, Shinto, Atheism, Buddhism, Satanism or whatever else before deciding not to follow those beliefs. It's as if Christianity is assumed to be the default religious choice, and if you want to go outside that, you must constantly verify to everyone that yes, you studied it and decided it wasn't right for you. Meanwhile these same people rarely educate themselves on anything else. Why is that?

Evolution is not in the bible. Adam and Eve were not pre-monkeys. Humans according to the bible were made from dirt. Are they talking about the evolution of Adam and Eve's offspring into multicultural identities or what? Are only humans evolving or do animals evolve too(Im asking that because religions are human-centric)? Did God create us humans first or was it micro-organisms that evolved into animals and than to us?

Mine was my first job. I worked at McDonalds, I had the worst 9 months of my life there. Really! they used to put me in the grill or fries all the time, my hands burned all time, my skin changed, started to have more oily skin and lots of pimples, lost the sence of fashion and was I irritated all the time. It also interfered with school, I had no friends and would spend all time angry thinking that I had to go back to that place. I didn't quit because I was affraid that it might seem bad in my work records if I quit a job very quickly, until June 15, 2006 when I finally gave my 2 weeks notice and June 30th was my last day. That day was soooo happy :] Well, now I have changed and my life is back to normal. After Micky D. I have had three jobs, including Hollister Co. and Banana Republic and the job I have right now at a car dealership with my family. I started there right after McDonalds and I quit my 2 retail jobs weeks after starting to keep my actual job. hehe...

While riding onthetrains and busses and often just walking down the street, the stares because of my hijab (head scarf) refuse to stop. I don't mind the stares I just want to know the meaing behind them. I live in NY, the city that is supposed to have the mst number of mixted cultures. I was just wondering where the tolerance and understanding has gone.

On this site while browsing questions, a person called "WhiteMaster" decided to spam the religion section with a whole bunch of, excuse my language..****..against Islam and the Quran.

I would love for someone to explain the stares and the hatred.

(I'd like both Christian/non-Christian answers, please.)

The statement:

Christians profess God, but serve Caesar.

I heard someone say this yesterday and after really thinking about it, I thought it is so true. He admitted that he does the same and I had to admit that I do the same. I claim God all day long, but yet I still trust in money, jobs, education and so on. Is the guy that said this saying that money, jobs, education, etc., are wrong? No, they are essential to everyday living, but when Christians put their ultimate trust and desire in those things, they are not giving God the trust He wants or the knowledge that He has complete control over our lives.

So...do you think it's true? If you do, please expound on how you think it's true. Also, examine yourself and see if you believe it's true in your own life. If you think so, you can say so. You don't have to, just wondering.

I'm just wondering how you arrived at your beliefs; if something turned you off of Christianity after honest research or if you just kind of had preconceived notions because of people doing horrible things in the name of Christianity, or if it had nothing to do with Christianity...

ok, i'm reading the bible which started off quite entertaining. the garden of eden, noah's ark, joseph and his amazing technicolor dreamcoat, good stories. but after that it's all killing people, burning their towns and taking their land. is this going to go on for much longer? i'd really like to finish it but it's getting a tad tedious. i'm up to the beginning of 'judges'. am i anywhere near any good bits? should i skip a few books?
