Aren't we each responsible for our own actions?

Isn't EVERY matter a conscience matter?

How come it's a matter of conscience (IE= frowned upon but not specifically forbidden) to do certain things yet outright disfellowshipping for others?

I mean aren't ALL your sins YOUR personal responsibility?

If there is no God and no Satan,
Who made love?
Who control our feeling? coz in fact, we can't always control our feeling?
I ever loved a guy who had wife. I know I shouldn't love him. I really didn't want to love him but I did..
Who made this feeling so?

Thanks for answering

with the evidence, or lack thereof, for their beliefs?

science doesn't claim to know all the answers, it is a work in progress.

science finds the most likely cause and then tries to prove or disprove by stringent testing. revise retest and the most likely version that can be found to the best of our knowledge given as a theory.

christainity doen't even come close to this, it would fail at the first stage.

We are Jesus's children. But Mary was his Mother, who is also a child of Jesus and God. God and Jesus are our fathers. Would that make God and Jesus a gay son and father couple who had children together? But then God pregnated his child into one of their children that they created together. Could someone explain to me the whole relationship?

Deut. 21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Deut. 21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

Deut. 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a DOUBLE portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.


And by the Grace of God....Abrahams first born GOT IT !

Question for you:

Do you consider Aleister Crowley and Anton LaVey to be true incarnations of evil roaming the earth?

By the same Token, do you think any human is capable of becoming 'evil' as it were via changing thier belief system to something other than the path to God?

In concurrence with my second question, do you think buddhists are evil people?

they're capable of the same emotions that i am. they instinctually know certain things are ok and others aren't.

what qualifiers are there for the "soul" that animals are lacking?

Ever given any thought to just how easy it is to be violent towards others when you start from the premise that all humans are evil and sinful?

Ever give any thought to how much violence has resulted from "spare the rod and spoil the child", or Paul's admonition that wives should be obedient and subservient to their husbands?

Any idea how easy it has been to start wars when yours is supposed to be the only "true" religion and everyone else is believed to be serving Satan?

Any idea of how hard it is to sell a religion that teaches their "loving " god made it a sin to be human, because, allegedly, our forefather disobeyed one of his commands, or that every person should beg forgiveness for living another day as a human, or give thanks that this god hasn't cursed you yet?

You just don't get it, do you?

If life were discovered on another planet, would that life be considered "animal" - inferior to Man - regardless of how advanced the newly discovered life is?

If your faith is completely null when it comes to God (and not just the Christian concept of God but ANY god)

then to whom do you feel thankful in general?

You know, when you wake up in the morning ...and feel the need to be thankful for all that you have..what do you do?

note: just curious.

I keep praying for a million dollars and a Harley but He hasn't come through yet. It's not that much to ask. After all He;s God, He can just whip it up.

Active meaning that god would be everywhere, and have a hand in all things shaping it as he pleases. There is free will for god's creations but then people would be "punished" if they choose the wrong path.

Passive meaning that god would create the ingredients of life and let it develop by due course and flourish like a plant given water, soil, and sunlight.

Just for fun,…would you try this, (again)?

The commonly said statement: “A penny saved is a penny earned.” just rolls off your tongue, but if the statement was incomplete, as in: “A penny saved ______?“ what ending would you provide? My answer would be: “A penny saved isn’t worth a hoot.”

Complete the following commonly used statements being as creative or as conservative as you like.

You can lead a horse _____?

Home is where_____________?

She’ll be comin’ round the mountain when_______?

It tastes just like___________?

If you can’t beat ‘em___________?

Feel free to add any others you ‘d like.

.. if a species evolves together as a group then why assume that any animal today is a "link" in the evolutionary chain leading to human .. if they are all evolved ? isnt that "evidence" alittly dicey to be using in the theory since it is evolved?
..and on the other hand if its localized mutation and only some members of the species evolved, then is it also to be assumed that only that "line" kept evolving and progressing to a new species while leaving the rest behind? if that is the case, then wouldnt that mean that each mutation that formed a new line would be an entirely different animal until one of its members mutates again? and if its such a slow process then wouldnt there be millions of in-between missing link species unaccounted for .. and if mutation was the cause wouldnt that be observable and at some points happen rather quickly to some groups ?.. anyway, as an evolutionist, which is more correct? the evolving at once theory or the localized evolving one? or somthing else?

scriptures or arguments to see if they make any sense?

I would never quote a scripture or quote a preacher if I had not carefully considered whether the scripture or the preacher made any sense. Quoting nonsense verbatim without examining it closely is why believers lose so many arguments.

I have an atheist friend who, just this morning, at work, got into a huge row with a girl she works with. This girl found out a while ago my friend was atheist, and had been dropping small insults, here and there, ever since.
My girl friend socked her in the nose today(finally.)

Christians, Muslims, Jews, atheists, everyone; can we all unite under the fact that we've all been through this sort of thing?
We've all been through the intolerant and ignorant people.

Any experiences you'd like to share? Stories to tell, opinions; go ahead.
