I think questions including "if the Jews don't believe their messiah has come yet, who is he? When is he coming? What will he do for the Jewish people?" should be added to the drinking list. They are asked SO often--I've now seen more of them lately than Pascal's Wager questions. The questions could have any combination of words as long as they're asking the same things:
"Since the Jews rejected J*sus, who is their messiah?"
"What will the messiah do for the Jews?"
"Why don't they accept J*sus as messiah?"

So what do you think, drinking-game participants? (I only said Jews in the title because chances are we see this question more than others)

I am an atheist currently investigating taoism. So far i have really liked what i have read and find it to be a spiritually sound following. (and i get to still be an atheist). Are their any other Taoists out there? How has it changed your life.

Then why are not people living in fear of it?

My reason is because it is a false doctrine and not spiritually built in to people.
I know athiests will chime "there is no hell"

I have seen that generally Hindus hate not only Muslims and Christians, but also Jains and Buddhists. Why so?

Mark 7:25-28

The Syrophoenician Woman's Faith. Soon a woman whose daughter had an unclean spirit heard about him. She came and fell at his feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syrophoenician by birth, and she begged him to drive the demon out of her daughter. He said to her, "Let the children be fed first. For it is not right to take the food of the children and throw it to the dogs." She replied and said to him, "Lord, even the dogs under the table eat the children's scraps."
------
From what I get, Jesus is calling this woman a dog. And her response is that she says, "I may be a dog, but being a dog just give me some crumbs from what you give others." I don't understand why Jesus who loves everyone would call this woman a dog. And why Jesus tells her that her acknowledging that she is a dog is the right answer.

they are either fabricated, taken out of context, or so old that they are hardly relevant today?

I'm sure many of them are simply parroting what they've been told or copy/pasting from the multitude of creationist websites out there... but someone, somewhere down the line, was practicing willful deception.

Tribal Africans did not know of a God. Did they have one or were they free of all godlike entities? Only white people taught about Jesus. They enslaved them too. When Africans were free, why didnt they return to Africa or at least the beliefs that went before.

I find it astonishing that the newer generations cling to Christianity, after all their forebears went through. Why dont they go back to their homeland and re-establish themselves....with their newfound knowledge and technology. They arent poor now....so why dont they go home and help their own people that really need it?

It seems like they shut their eyes to the requests on TV for monetary help for starving children. I have never heard of an African American donating anything or adopting African children...do they not care or are they repulsed by their own race now? With so many Africans doing so well overseas....how come they arent creating large adoptive families to protect their own links?

If anyone has doubt in his own decisions than he is in danger of loosing life. It is the very dangerous mental desease (aatmsanshay) rarely occured and hardly curable.
Patient should be continiously attacked by sword of knowledge by someone. Consequently patient gets faith on himself otherwise soon he will be killed by any means may be sucide or accidental death.

Timothy 2:15 states: "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth."
Also in 1 Peter 3:15-17 states: "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear: Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing."
And finally in 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works."

If we are not doing this, then how can we be effective in preaching, teaching and defending our faith?

and other prophets and historic personalities and what they said and when and why;when not even one person on 4 July 2007 can claim to know who exactly was his ancestor at that point in time in history,where they were, what their faith was?Why do people take such a myopic view of history and narrow view of faith and behave like dogs,kill each other in the name of poor God.When they can't trace their own ancestors beyond 7 generations.I'm sure most of them don't know the names of their own great grandfathers where and how they lived.Which tribe they were.It's a different matter there are so many who don't know about their biological father and are utterly lost on Father's day weekend.but every one knows about God and the man who preached about GOD more than God and the preacher themselves.and are willing to bomb to prove what they know,what they believe.CRANKS.

I feel that my church is not spiritual enough, I feel that it is lacking in Praise. It has become so redundant. I am seeking out another church, although I feel obligated to my home church.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights.”

Notice that they wrote the FACT there is a CREATOR and we are CREATED are truths and that these truths are self-evident. Do you know what self-evident means?

It means that anyone one who is actually intelligent and bothers to think about it will be able to see it and get it.

So tell me about our founding fathers here, what was their problem?

If nuns get to wear habits, Muslims get to wear burkas and etc., why can't a pagan be naked? Freedom of religion, right? Or, does that only apply to certain religions?
