Why blame god for the starving children? If man really wanted to we could come together, spend enough money to feed all the starving people of the world. I dont blame god at all, I blame sinful, wicked, selfish man.

Loads of people I respect just got unwarranted criticisms. Now I am asking for you to criticise me or my views.( I feel left out)

Please tell me what you think is bad about me and why, just keep the language civil.

So who can criticise me the most?

Like when the earth flooded (biggest henocide ever; During Sodom & Ghomorah (these cities); Or when Gods people Israel took the land of Cannaan?

2 What lands of Cannaan did God require Israel to kill most all or all?

Because some times it was genocide & sometimes it wasn't.

3 Why did God command genocide in some cases?

Once God gave Israel the land, God never commanded genocide of them again.

Please answer all 3 questions.

If we don’t pray for each other, who will?

While re-embracing my prayer life, a curious thought occurred to me: how many people WILL actually pray for me?

Seriously wondering who realistically would, I decided to left-brain it and crunch the numbers. The way I figured it was like this:

Take a family of six – mom, dad, two boys and two girls. Generally speaking, they care for each other very much. Then I counted the related family – aunts (4), uncles (4), grandparents (4), friends. That’s 12+ more people, so now we’re at 18+. The question I asked was when I look at each person individually, from what I know about them, who actually has a dedicated prayer life? Grandma? One or two aunts? Any friends? What about their own parents and siblings?

If it’s only one grandmother, two aunts, and a parent, that is 4 people out of 18+. That’s not even 30%!

Now I know there are probably a lot more people praying for me than I realize, but if I go on what I can actually count, the numbers are abysmally low.

There are about 1.6 billions Catholics worldwide, and I think we generally assume that we’re sort of automatically prayed for, but is that really the case? How many people can you think of that you actually know are praying for you?

Now, please understand I’m not trying to depress anyone; I’m simply trying to share a bit of thought that occurred to me and is actually DRIVING me to pray more. If I don’t get off my butt and pray, who will? Does this help to show anyone the urgency for prayer?

Catholics, if we don’t need daily prayer, then why do we bother going to Mass? Isn’t that what the Mass is – one big prayer?

The Roman's controlled the content of the Bible. They still do. If a Baptist changes the Bible he is scorned. If the pope makes a revision it sticks. Whether you like it or not.
The linage of Jesus in Matthew is rigged to incourage Jews to accept Jesus as their messah.
Revelation 1:14 clearly describes Jesus as an albino. Don't bother sending me your Sunday school learning.
The Caesar's were in the process of converting the Jews to the Cult of Octavian. Alpha-Omega Augustus-Octavian. Another way of saying "god".

This is in relation to my previous question...
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsScXNY0RTZAebFRVovuCZHsy6IX?qid=20070813084217AAVPngC

Just some observations... There are many "regulars" on R&S who seem to think they are an exclusive group. They act like they are still in high school. In addition, these posters ask questions that are not at all objective or respectful, yet are baffled when others do not respect them. Do you feel this mentality shows more or less spiritual developement?

If the Bible proves the existence of the Christian god then the Qur'an proves the Muslim god is real, and the same for other religions 'proven' by their holy texts. A veritable menagerie of gods! :-) It must be crowded Up There.

I live in Utah so I'm surrounded by LDS people. I am constantly dealing with LDS people and from what I've dealt with they seem like a cult. How do you feel about the LDS religion? Do you think they're a cult? If so, why? If not, why?

I am non-denominational and my husband is a Jehovah's Witness (in training). His parents are Jehovah's Witnesses and converted when my husband was about 7 or 8 years old. He said he stopped going to the Kingdom Hall when he moved out of his parents house, but when we met he had just started to get involved with it again. He does not consistently meet with them, but it's kind of an off and on thing. One minute he's going to the Kingdom Hall every Sunday and attending meetings during the week, and the next thing you know he's not going. However, he believes like they do. He does not celebrate holidays, believe in blood transfusions, etc. We talked about it before marriage and decided that we would do whatever it took to make it work. It was very hard for me to deal with at first, because my family is very close and we celebrate everything. But now I am just dealing with it. It's not as big of an issue.

Can we ever be truly happy together? Anybody else going through this?

Most atheists are generally smug - Dawkins is seemingly always in a rampaging mood, as if God has done him some terrible wrong, and Dawkins wants to make Him pay.

Many Christians view nonChristians as people who have not yet come to understand the "truth" of their Christian beliefs, therefore lost and confused.
They look at homosexuals and bisexuals as confused.
Pretty much any type of thinking that does not coincide with their own somehow equates to confusion.
I often hear them claim that athiests are just confused.
Most atheists became atheists because they started out being confused and finally made a decision after gather and analyzing information.
Most Christians neglect to take information from various sources, measure and study this information from a neutral and unbiased apporach, and then conclude something based on their studies. They instead, have preconceived ideas and notions and base their decisions on how this new information must somehow be wrong if in contrasts with what they believe to be true. This to me sounds like minds that are much more confused.
