belief at all? I'm Catholic and when I hear that a child was murdered at the hands of his/her parents I tend to step back and just wonder, why?? How can a loving God allow this to happen? Why be born to just die?

When and where did Charles Darwin declare that Man descended from monkeys and that this disproves the divinity of Christ Jesus?

Which reputable Scientist are you monkeys quoting when you claim that dinosaurs disprove the divinity of Christ Jesus?

Do people ever think that they should research something more or does it matter at all.

Misconceptions cant just be made up so they must have a source.

I am thinking in this case that much comes from Catholics who didnt or dont really understand their faith.

The catholic church can be guilty of this because they baptise, give communion and then confirm kid who really dont know what is going on.

Then most people go to mass and dont understand what is happening.

i think the best answers tend to be from protestants who come back to the church because they tend to have a fuller perspective.

Anyone want to bet that for every sensible answer I get 10 stupid ones about the pope, mary, purgatory etc.

I am an ordained minister with the Universal Life Church. How much would you pay for a get-out-of-hell-free card if I were to sell indulgences on eBay?

These are real, minister-sponsored indulgences, so don't worry; I'll make sure God doesn't count your sin against you, as long as you pay me...

Mankind started in Israel (Middle East). So how many people agree with me that that the Middle East is where mankind will end? My grandmother sparked that conversation because the middle east is full of hatred, crime, and wars.

Well everyone knows that most of the Christian celebrations were adopted and have pagan origins. For example, here are some:
Christians adopted the cruciform from the Egyptians
Swatica from the Hindu
Dying eggs (this was done way before Christianity was born)
So to be specific do you know any other origins of holidays mainly Christian ones and others too?

I do care about what Science says, because it just emphasizes a stronger belief how Magnificent GOD, is and how we cannot understand the Magnitude of GOD

Larry King had a panel on one show of former Nasa Astronauts and when he flat out asked if thier was life beyonf this one.. They said On yeah.. but would not elaborate...We cannot understand what other life might be out there, and we cannot understand the magnitude of GOD but what I post here about NDE's prophecy,
Jesus Christ is to show many of you that deny GOD that you deny because of a personal choice, not because thier is no evidence of GOD and his magnificent creation...
Thoughts?

Jesus told me God changed her mind about the Bible- it's been rewritten too many times- and now she wants everybody to follow another Book only I can see (ps- Does this make me kind of like the second coming? Not sure on that.) Anyway, this new Book says everybody's supposed to mail 1$ to me for the trouble of being the Messenger, and in return they'll receive eternal salvation. If they want to give more, that's fine. What a bargain, eh?! Think it through- don't say "well that's not in the Bible"- God doesn't want us to follow the Bible anymore, she changed her mind, she's God, after all!

Who's on board?

With God in their Hearts and Minds, do the true believers just do their duties, and just Love their fellow man? And leave all the debating, and bickering to the less enlightened and more confused?

I am looking for genuine answers....nothing hateful please, just honest reasons.

I understand that it is a difficult place to come to, faith, since it is believing without needing proof.

But why do you feel that you do not believe in God?

Should America have traditional marriage? Or modern, equal, loving civilized marriage?

Marriage is a tradition, yet "traditional" marriage is a myth. The marriage tradition started as women being property and a commodity traded among men.

*The bible shows many instances of women as property.
*Raping one's wife wasn't outlawed in England until *1891*. The Times bemoaned, "One fine morning last month, marriage in England was suddenly abolished."
*Under the Nepoleonic code of France and Louisianna, women were considered the same legal status as children and mental defectives.
*Under English common law, women did not leagally exist and was forbidden to any personal property. Even her clothes were her husbands.

So when people urge 'traditional' marriage, why don't they include *all* the traditions of western marriage like the right to rape, beat, imprison, enslave wives, refuse property ownership, refuse legal existence, consider women as incompetetants and baby factories?
