I just asked a question on stories of the bible and someones answer about KJV having nothing changed or taken out got me to thinking.....................................................KJV can be quite hard to understand with all the old words that it makes it sometimes difficult to comprehend.
What is your opinion on today's edited bibles, some i find are really easy to read and completely understand, yet some seem so different from the original. Do you agree with KJV being edited?

Since people are SO convinced that that's where I'm going to be sent then I might as well make the best of it. Are there any boating laws in hell? Can you drink and boat?

i think it's called reincarnation. anyways if you are born again once you die are you in the same time period when you died? do you remember anything about your last life. if you were born with a missing arm or leg are chances that once you are born again you will have a missing arm or leg. also what happens when all species on the planet are extinct. will we have to move on to being reincarnated to aliens or something else or once we humans are extinct and we die for the last time ever do we go to heaven forever and live peacefully. i am so confused. tell me is reincarnation just a bunch of crap or does it really happen?

Every woman I've ever met I've said 'Hey missy, you get in that kitchen and you bake me some pie.'
For some reason women just don't submit like St Paul claims they should.

If I swore in front of God to honour and obey my husband should I do as he asks in this matter?

really how can you say he doesn't exist? No REALLY HOW CAN YOU SAY HE DOESN'T EXSIST? No really I mean it, seriously.

There is plenty of proof that "WE DON'T KNOW IF GOD EXIST OR NOT" But nothing that says it is impossible for him to exist.

I repeat there is nothing that we know today that says that the exsistance of God is an impossability. One more time. NO EVIDENCE POINT TOWARD GOD AS AN IMPOSSABILITY.

As an atheist I am wondering why so many make the assumption that God doesn't exist for certain, for me it's an assumption, but other act as if they have irrefutable proof and I would like to see this irrefutable proof.

I notice many Y/A where a person claims to be a Christian and in most cases they give very sound and accurate truth from the Bible however their avatar or name contradicts this title they bear of a Christian.

For instance they have pictures of seductive women, multicolored hair and facial piercing, a mean/angry expression, names that totally contradict their faith, just to name a few.

Doesn't it appear like a contradiction to you? It's like saying: I am a pure prostitute, or an honest thief. It just doesn't make sense.

I would imagine if you had an encounter with Jesus Christ you must have had some sort of change in your life, but words without action is dead

If NASA finds evidence of life on Mars will you accept the evidence and say that god created life on Mars too or will you pretend the evidence does not exist?

Do you ever question some of the incidents that occur in the stories in the bible or do you believe absolutely everything that it says because it says it?

I want something very simple. If i got this thing it would make me forever grateful. It wouldn't harm anyone, or make me forget anyone. I would be truly happy if i got this. I've prayed and prayed, but i still haven't got it. I'm a good person at heart, and i don't only pray when i want stuff-i pray for others, too. This is something i deeply need. So why won't god give it to me? I don't understand. I know god isn't there just to give you things, and i'm not selfish, i just don't understand. If god knows how to make you happy, why would you be refused of a simple ask? I've tried praying hard, i've cried and begged, made sacrifices and promises, and i remain unanswered. Please explain this to me-and please no harsh words or lectures, i'm very desperate.

I don't feel right using those sayings, but I can't seem to help wanting to say them - they are just such an integral part of everyday speech. Ideas?

I'm 14.Is it wrong that I don't believe in god anymore?
With all the **** that has been happening (war,my friends family dying,my grandfather dying,my uncle dying,my best friend getting cancer) I'm just starting to doubt in a higher power.
I still kind of believe there is something there,but I'm not wanting to please it or meet it anymore.If this higher power is bringing hell upon us right now,why would I want to hang out with it for eternity?
I dunno.I'm tired of putting my faith in something I don't know exists.whatever happens happens and I just don't want to spend my entire life being unhappy about something I dont know exists.my family used to be real involved in the church (my dad was a pastor) and they treated us like ****.
I don't know.These guys that were SUPPOSED to be proving to us that there is a god and that we should believe we're being really rude and saying stuff like "well you're going to get judged whether you like it or not"
that really doens't make me believe.
help?

Please don't give me answer like I could don' ask this question if I have no freewill. I think defination of freewill is a lot deeper than this.

Prisoner who was jailed wrongly, has choice of eating his meal or not eating. However, he has no choice of staying inside the prison or at bar drinking.

It doesn't make sense. Usually when electricity strikes water, hydrogen and oxygen split. How could lightning striking water possibly create the first cell? Since I intend on being a doctor about ten years from now, I had learned alot about biology, enough to learn the organic elements, Carbon, Oxygen, Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Phosphorus, Sulfur etc. I especially know that Carbon, Oxygen, and Hydrogen are the main components in organic sugars. Anyway, since electricity seperates Hydrogen and Oxygen, how could it have possibly bonded the two to form the first practical cell?

if someone is baptised by proxy for someone who's dead in the Mormon faith, how does that work? does the dead person's soul enter the body of the living to be cleansed of sin?

For I know the plans I have for you says God
Plans for good and not for evil
Plans to give you a future and a hope.
In those days when you pray, I will listen.
If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.
I will be found by you says the Lord.

I get the impression that at least 50% of Christians either wouldn’t take their children there at all or if they did, they wouldn’t allow them to have the impression that the “facts” being presented are truth beyond doubt. Could this type of fundamentalism be driving a wedge between Christians? Would some of them start listening to or at least not rejecting outright the words of atheists like Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens and Sam Harris?
