the word aner for "men" is never used of women, because women can never be husbands. So when the Bible refers to 'mankind' is it really refering to women too?

The period of
‘uncleaness’ after childbirth is forty days for having a male child but eighty days for a female child.

What does this mean?
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with
womankind".

I know in Leviticus 19:28 it says "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. So does that mean it is ok to get a tattoo if is not for the dead? and I was wanting to get one of a cross and say Jesus is my savior or something like that so would that be ok or is it even ok to be putting his name on us?? And please no mean answers!!

It is way too hard to read the old version and somebody said that whoever wrote it meant to say "though shall not commit murder" instead of "though shall not kill". so is there a version of it that is in modern english? otherwise I might as well not waste my time and do something more useful.

a seemly "normal" in every aspect, all a sudden starting 4 years ago started noticing different pieces of insects in my hair and on my body. This has finally gone full circle with every species of insect coming out of me from Head to Foot? I do not have a psychiatric illness or physical illness. I also started hearing voices starting six months ago when my ten year old son and I had to be separated for that period of time. The voices claim that they are, and in this order. Mother God, God, Jesus, Mother Theresa and The Rest of the Glorious Angels telling me that they are sending a Huge Message Through Me and I am to tell the world. My son is also experiencing this things although because he's only ten doesn't know what it was like before these things were this way. The insects have gone full circle and the voices Very Loud. I was born Feb. 10, 1958. He was born July 30, 1996. Any thoughts? Thanks to any and all.

God's Speed and Grace,
Nancy and Brya

it seems that somehow its okay to sacrifice an animal(which by the way does have feelings) and to be in religious wars for the sake of god. but both involve killing so what exactly is it that though shall not kill?

there are obviously some exceptions because otherwise the animal sacrifices and religious wars are a sin. so which one is it?

I cant seem to figure it out. My uncle and aunt say its who created us and not God. They say that God cant create inperfection, and if thats the case then we came from the big bang idea.

I found a place that says the Elohim is a word in hebrew that means dual. The have words that mean one, more then one, or dual. And that is one that means dual. Meaning that its more then one but the same? Or what?

So Jesus was Jewish and that is probably why he was not baptised as an infant and it was not nor is it now a part of the Jewish custom.

But had he been baptised as an infant would that be Ok to baptise infants then?

OK I am getting tired and cranky and I am going to BED!!!!

To my previous question, where people clearly stated that God created EVERYTHING, then how can anything be bad or wrong, since God obviously created it? It is not possible, since if you state that something that God created is bad or wrong, then you are going against God. God therefore created abortion, etc. Just wanting to show the contradiction.

How many people think this is harassment?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsXur5NVdyI&mode=related&search=

Mark Bunker with a video camera follows people around and harasses them because of their religion. Some people just have no regards for other peoples privacy and simply lack respect.

I went to a Christian service last week, and the Minister went on about how finding Jesus was the only path to salvation and happiness, and that you can't find it in any other religion. He mentioned Buddhism, Hinduism, obedience to the Pope, etc., as all being the wrong path. I was really offended. It's the same mentality that Al Quaida will use when referring to the Christian and Jews of America as Satans. Should I write him a letter telling him that it's fine for him to fine meaning in his religion but he should not put down other religions?

I cannot find a way to believe in God....How do I do that? I have no idea how people can possibly believe that there is 'something' that has created this. it all seems so unrealistic to believe that one being created this.....

Please don't tell me drinking alcohol is a sin. Enjoying alcohol in reasonable amounts is no sin at all--in fact, the Bible does not condemn alcohol comsumption when used responsibly, only when it intoxicates you to the point of drunkensess. How do you distinguish a mild alcohol buzz from intoxication?

they all follow the same heritage line (that of father Abraham) so why do they all detest each other? They all have the same god.

What's your favorite line you've heard from Christians? Here are some of mine:

"How do you think everything was created? It just didn't show up out of the blue did it? If you don't believe in God then that's your perogative. But on judgement day, don't wonder why you will burn in hell for not believing. God works in mysterious ways."

"The rest of the world are Satanists. In the Satanist religion it is stated that if you are not a Christian, you are a Satanist and if you claim to NOT be a Satanist or any religion, it means you are simply unaware you are a Satanist."

Feel the love, fellow atheists.
