If so, is this because you are many times more intelligent than they are?

Do the nay sayers need some themselves to dream up their opium fuelled 'rapture ready' adventures? I meaned, some of the stuff they come out with is pretty stoned out: like when they say the Pope is the Antichrist... it's funny that it's always these people that try to deny MS sufferers legitimate treatment

our questions sometimes do make a difference. I pondered this and found a question from a 9 year old a few weeks ago asking if George was in heaven. Most people didn't know it was a 9 year old until the additional details were added by his mother...so, most people took the question as a joke and answered it that way (which hurt the asker's feelings) because it ended up being serious question/topic.

We can make a difference...will you forgive me for coming out of retirement?

"When Creationists talk about God creating every individual species as a separate act, they always instance hummingbirds, or orchids, sunflowers and beautiful things. But I tend to think instead of a parasitic worm that is boring through the eye of a boy sitting on the bank of a river in West Africa, [a worm] that's going to make him blind. And [I ask them], 'Are you telling me that the God you believe in, who you also say is an all-merciful God, who cares for each one of us individually, are you saying that God created this worm that can live in no other way than in an innocent child's eyeball? Because that doesn't seem to me to coincide with a God who's full of mercy'."

This is a direct quote from the naturalist David Attenborough (http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/03/24/1048354544138.html?from=storyrhs)

I'd be interested in the opinions of people who believe in creation theory as to why your god created this creature . . .

The fundamentalists chief problem in accepting that saints can hear prayers is that thier notion of heaven and the afterlife are attenuated. For many of them the afterlife is hardly a life at all. They, like many Christians, draw a blank when they try to explain what heaven is like. Some can imagine nothing other than the stereotypic harps and choirs. Others say heaven is an impenetrable haze and that all we can know is that we will be happy there.
One thing that certainly can be said is that those in heaven are alive to God. "Have you never read in the book of Moses how God spoke to him at the burning bush, and said, 'I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?' Yet it is of living men, not dead men, that he is the God" (Mark 12:26-27). The saints in heaven are more alive now than we are. In the arms of God, they are more solicitous of us than when they were on earth. Just as Paul asked the other disciples to pray for him (Rom 15:30;Col 4:3; 1 Th 1:11

I just posted an answer to an atheists question, and on his comments he says he does not believe in sin- because without God sin does not exist. So if this is what atheists believe, do you also believe that you are perfect? Because if you aren't then you sin. If you believe there is sin, what do you do about it?

I apologize for the lunacy of my clone/troll/stalker. He disappeared yesterday but apparantly earlier today when I said I've had sex with an atheist it set him off again.

1. What is the tarrying of the Bridegroom? 2. What is the slumbering and sleeping of all ten virgins? (which Jesus didn't criticize). 3. What is the running out of oil of five of the virgins? (which kept those five out of Heaven). 4. What is the midnight cry?

I don't understand what original sin is, where it is supposed to come from, and why it requires forgiveness through baptism.

I am not a believer but I respect your right to believe as you wish. I am just curious about what you think.

Do you know why islam proclaims Jerusalem one of *their* holy sites?
Do you know why Sunnis and Shi'a fight each other?
Did you know that at one time Christians and Jews were considered lesser allies to islam and their early rulers?
Are you aware that 'infidel' cannot be applied to a Christian according to the Koran?
How rooted in history are islamic atrocities?

In my article, "The Holy City of Jerusalem and the Ummayyad Caliphate," I address the history of atrocities as well as how the Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem became a 'sacred' site.

No politics. Only the objective groundtruth from a combat veteran that has been to both fronts of our War on Terror, backed up by independent research and historical study.

I find that it is not the circumstances in which we are placed, but the spirit in which we face them, that constitutes our comfort.
