How exactly did that get translated into a carpenter, rather than maybe a Rabbi? The word that was traslated into "carpenter" actually meant a "learned man" and gave no details on what particular field of work was involved. Who decided to make him a carpenter?

- Does god actually answer your prayers? If so, how? Do any of you hear his voice answering your questions, if not how do you know his answers?

- What makes you think the world was intelligently designed? I know it is a beautiful and very complex, but why does that mean it was designed by someone?

- Have you seen something you would consider a miracle? If so what was it?

I am very curious about these questions, and i am undecided whether I am religious or not.

I'm reading it now she was such a woman of God and helped save so many people during Hitler's reign and the Nazis time.
If you have not I suggest you do.
She was captured and tortured for helping them and most of her family died in the camps.
makes me think. and she never waviered in her faith always trusting in The Lord.
She glorified God with her life.

The first time I met someone who was openly an atheist was only nine years ago.

I come to Y/A, and atheists are everywhere (weeds! . . . . . kidding!).

Are there more atheists, are more people comfortable with talking about it publicly, or is it simply because we're in a "safe" environment?

Agnostics, too. My peeps!

Jesus taught that drinking was a sin-oops, wrong. His first miracle was turning water into wine. Jesus taught that partying was a sin-oops! wrong again, the pharisees criticized him for partying with the wrong people. Jesus taught that homosexuality was a sin-WRONG again. Jesus never said anything about homosexuality even though it was common practice in Greco-Roman society. The sins Jesus talked about: judging others, condemning others, relying on wealth instead of on God.

I was going through my book shelf, and I picked one of the Bibles at random(We have a few in the household) It is my stepfathers. This is what the first page read.

"The -------- Education Committee present you with this Book, the most valuable thing this world affords, desiring that you use it whilst at school and retain it when you leave. Herien is the wisdom which will lead you to all truth, provide comfort and guidance and teach you the whole duty of man."

I went to the same school some years later, they do not give them out anymore. This book is around 40 years old. This was given to people in his day when they joined the school.

Your thoughts?

Phil 2:12) -…work out your own salvation with fear and trembling.

(Rom 2:5-6) - …the righteous judgment of God; Who will render to every man according to his deeds:

(James 2:14) - What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have not works? Can faith save him?

(Mt 16:27) - For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works.

(2 Cor. 5:10) - For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

The concept is pretty amazing really. All responsibility for all things that exist lies with another being. Sure, you have free will, but all mistakes can be forgiven, all shortcomings are trials and you will be rewarded for dealing with them, all flaws are not your fault. Your responsibilities lie with a perceived deity, and the doctrine of that deity. All concepts of right and wrong are already laid out, you don't have to think for yourself. Only act accordingly, and put all matters in your life into the hands of that deity. If you do that, life will turn out perfectly.

I can't imagine the lack of stress by having the concept of a perfect god managing everything. If only it were really that easy.

But that there are multiple universes and galaxies with inhabited planets like ours? If not then how do you explain why God would allow an enormous void in space with no other life force except ours?
