I am definitely thinking LEATHER. Will it hold up? All of my other leather does . . . . Does it need wheels? Or is there a supernatural method of travel that prevents the need for them?

BTW, what time does everyone plan on getting there (I hate to be the first to arrive)?

For all ye Protestants out there, I was wondering what you think of the following:

Our Lady of Guadalupe
Our Lady of Lourdes
Our Lady of Fatima

If you are not familiar with them, Wikipedia gives a good non-bias story. With these three amazing stories, how can you continue to doubt the importance of the Blessed Virgin Mary?

Still not convinced? Try:
Luke 1:28-30
Luke 1:41-44
Luke 1:48
Rev. 12:1-6

Do you guys really believe that anyone who hasn't heard of Christ is going to hell? Someone told me you do. If you do, why and what about people in countries where it is illegal to be Christian? I'm sorry if I offend anybody but I really want to understand this concept.

I mean seriously-- I'm an athiest, and I see no problem in beliving in religion and all, but come on? What's the point of having it. I don't see any advantageous points in having a religion, (well ones that are REALLY good) so what's the point in religion?

Second posting: We have a flood story, the story of Bob spilling his beer on the table and having to save the peanuts from certain destruction. If was almost like they pissed him off.
We have a story about a saviour, the son of Bob (I like his name is Jose Cuervo). I think he came and picked us up at the bar, but when I woke up in the car, he was gone. I think he was resurrected, but there was no body. His car door was open, but then three days later he reappeared, a miracle.
And the list of religious experiences with Bob and his holy son go on and on. We regularly meet to be one with the holy spirit(s), depending on what we feel like. But just don't give the God Bob whiskey or else he will pull a Sodom and Gamorrah. What do you think we should call it? And Christians, please attempt to have a sense of humor.

If not, what makes them think that they would be forced to perform same-sex marriages?

If they were forced to do so, I'd like some documentation or research resources.

I asked Christians what they'd want atheists to do to make interactions "nicer", so now I'm asking atheists what Christians should do.

Besides "shedding their indoctrination" and "freeing themselves from delusion", what can they do?

This is mostly for Christians who accuse atheists of "attacking" religion" and being "mean to believers" and being "hateful", but anyone can answer, preferably Christians, but non-Christians too.

Besides "accepting God" and becoming your "brethren in Christ", what should atheists "do better"? What would make interactions with them more amiable?

Do you suppose the people of Minneapolis/St. Paul were as depraved as those souls lost in New Orleans?

What was the name of the evangelist who said the hurricane was God's punishment for the depravity of the people living in New Orleans?

Recent comments by non-Catholics:

"Are mortal or venial sins mentioned in the Bible, no, they are not."

"Mortal and venial sins are an invention of the church in Rome. You won't find any such classifications in the Bible."

"There is nothing in the Bible about 'mortal vs. venial' sins. Those terms are man made."

"There is no 'Mortal sin and venial sin' it's all the same in Gods eyes."

if singapore and malaysia were to go to war, who would win?

of course, you would need to know the advantages of both countries.

singapore has decisive and advanced technology. malaysia is big in size but techology wise, really bad. singapore though small in size, has a 750000 men army, while malaysia has only 350000.

who will win

I've seen a few posts this evening from people that are asking in seeming bemusement why others are "getting at them", and then proceding (or in some cases, preceding) with a statement about how everybody needs to see the light (their light in particular). Some even have a sense of "why are people rejecting/ignoring me when I'm trying to help them", even if they don't actually say it.

Even so, people keep reacting and so creating a situation where people are asking these questions, quite probably due to genuine hurt in some cases.

What is it that people seem unable to grasp and understand that perpetuates this whole situation, and why can people not understand it.

If it's a lack of respect or tolerance for people's beliefs on one side, is it not just the same on the other?

First of all, my heart goes out to those that were killed or injured in the Minneapolis bridge disaster and to their families.

As in all disasters, those that narrowly escaped injury or death in the bridge collapse, thanked God for sparing them. If God was there to save them, why didn't he save those that were directly behind them and went down with the bridge? And why didn't God keep the bridge from collapsing in the first place, or postpone the collapse until a time when fewer people would be on the bridge?

In a disaster, why does God spare some and allow others to be injured or killed. There is no evidence that the ones that are spared are particularly moral, or that the ones that are injured or killed are particularly evil.

If it's God's will, why is it God's will?

Why are us living things here on this earth, if there is a god, like people say there is he must have really thought things through, to give us a world, design us with hair, digestive systems etc. Provided us with living fruits to eat etc.

But what is the point? Why are we here? What purpose are we serving?

Or do you believe, as I do, that we're here, on earth, this time in our life just purely to learn, to experience good and bad things, to prepare us for our next life, or next stage should I say? Anybody else belive what I do? Got anything to back it up with? Or anymore thoughts?
