Who put that desire there?
Often those asserting that there is no God blame Him for catastophes or tradgedies such as 9/11, so why blame a non-existent God?

Man is aware of God because He was created by God to know and answer to Him!

What would be the point of this section when everyone praising and praying?

Don't we need atheists to confirm, commemorate and compliment our beliefs?

Don't cite me from some new money making feel good version bible. I want it cited from the good old King James Version of 1611.

Aren't you adding words to the bible by using the word "trinity"?

God has made a correct judgement and he is pefect unlike Atheists and Agnostics. God does not care if you believe in him. God is right and Atheists and Agnostics will always be wrong. Your judgment is eternal suffering here on earth and in hell. Put on a happy smile. I love you.God Bless you. Peace.

Do you only admire "faith" from people who share your religious view, or do you admire faith from anyone in any religious path?

If you don't admire faith as a quality, why not? What harm can it do to individuals and societies?

At the last supper, Jesus took bread and broke it..He then blessed it as he did the wine. He took from it Himself and so did His disciples. The words He used indicated that the bread was His body and the wine was His blood.....so they are symbolic. He said "Do this in remembrance of me" which we as Christians do. It is a symbolic act....as prescribed by Jesus our 'Living God' and in no way involves eating human flesh. So it is not cannibalism.
With a little study and more wisdom and understanding you could have discovered that for yourselves instead of trying to ridicule Christian practice.

"Pro wrestler Chris Benoit strangled his wife, suffocated his 7-year-old son and placed a Bible next to their bodies before hanging himself with the pulley of a weight machine, authorities said Tuesday."

This is an extension of the old riddle "whence cometh evil?" Many Christians reply evil is a result of human's imperfections and God-given free will.

For arguments sake and based on answers to my previous questions, let's assume the following parameters about a severe mental illness; a mental illness that leads a person to commit a heinous act that s/he would not commit if healthy:

a.) This severe mental illness superscedes or negates free will
b.) Mental illness is not of humans; it is not human made
c.) Looking at the evil acts that soemtimes arise from this severe mental illness, it clear that it is not God-made.

Whence cometh mental illness? Is it Satan? Am I wrong in assuming it is not created by God?

In the Book of Ezekiel:
“Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fullness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty, and committed abomination before me: therefore I took them away as I saw good.” (16:49-50, KJV).
The Epistle of Jude in the New Testament echoes the Genesis narrative and recalls mainly the sexually immoral aspects of Sodom's sins: “…just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding cities, which likewise indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire, serve as an example by undergoing a punishment of eternal fire

More scriptures speak about the Act of Sodomy as condemnation by all 3 Monotheistic religions and speaks of that act only for animal,s not man or woman to engage in.

How can anyone say GOD commands people to engage in this kind of act, when it's in the Bible as a abomination through out the scriptures?

Only one, any more than that would be considered ecumenical.

Charismatics: Only one. Hands already in the air.

Presbyterians: None. Lights will go on and off at predestined times.

Roman Catholic: None. Candles only.

Episcopalians: Eight. One to call the electrician, and seven to say how much they liked the old one better.

Mormons: Five. One man to change the bulb, and four wives to tell him how to do it.

Nazarene: Six. One woman to replace the bulb while five men review church lighting policy.

Amish: What's a light bulb?

Atheists: None. Atheists do not believe in lightbulbs.

TV evangelists: One. But for the message of hope to continue to go forth, send in your donation today.

Fundamentalists: THE BIBLE DOES *NOT* SAY *ANYTHING* ABOUT LIGHT BULBS!!!!

The original earth god created was perfect. Adam and eve screwed that up but suppose they hadn't. In Eden everything was provided everything was happy and good. In Genesis It says god created heaven first earth second. Why would god create earth to be perfect if heaven already existed? God was at that point frequently and tangibly involved with Adam and Eve at that point so they were pretty tight with God (like we would expect to be heaven). I can understand why he would create heaven second, to reward those who came back to him, but according to scipture he didn't. His only reason for creating earth after would be if he already knew that Adam and Eve were going to sin and he wanted to show us what we were going to lose. Is my logic totaly flawed here?

"Moroni" is supposed to be an angel but the Bible says not to accept any other gospel especially if it is given by an angel (hint: lucifer, aka the devil, was an agel)

Galatians 2:8
"But even if we, or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed."

how do they justify it??

then is it logical to say that I was born to be a Fundamentalist Christian? I mean, it's definitely always been a part of who I am as a person. No, I'm not trying to be sarcastic. I guess this question is mainly geared for those who would normally dislike a "fundie" like me...although it's open to anyone.

Any thoughts?

if he does not donate a kidney to his brother? Since they are identical twins, a match is guaranteed. But, since the brother has weak kidneys, the priest might also. There is no guarantee of success, and the priest will be down to one kidney. Will the priest go to hell if he does not donate the kidney to his brother.
