Religion & Spirituality - 18 August 2007

According to the theory of evolution, humans and dinosaurs never lived at the same time. This is obviously a lie propagated by the devil in an attempt to discredit the findings of Creation Science. There has already been proof that dinosaurs and humans coexisted.

The archaeologists Hanna and Barbera, assisted by famed creation scientist Em Adjineri, unearthed video footage of a family that lived thousands of years ago in a town called Bedrock.

This family was named the Flintstones, and had a pet dinosaur (I believe it was a brontosaurus). This footage was shown regularly on television in the early 60's.

This footage proves that dinosaurs coexisted with humans. It also proves that cave men were brightly colored and two-dimensional.

Take that, yabba-dabba-lutionists!

I mean how could that guy have been so smart AND come up with that nonsense?

Why do people still constantly use it as justification even though it contains two obvious fallacies?

Make it so that everyone tolerated everyone else's beliefs, except under the condition that if you choose choice two, there is a two percent chance that everything will backfire and go back to how it was, and you'll never have the chance to fix it again?

Hypothetically, both these choices would bring complete peace.

I have a few friends that are mormon and I always wanted to know but i didn't want to offend them. I just wonder why the religion approves of it. Also, why are the girls ok with that?

A polygamous Mormon stated this during a tv interview Thursday night. He was asked if he truly mean't this and he stated that it was part of the Mormon belief system. I had to think this was just his opinion not their church's teachings.

Would you kill all of your loving kids if one of them is such a bad kid?
If the God can do anything, he should be able to see the future too. He created us by knowing that he has to destroy all of us in the future?
He could make us perfect from the very beggining insted of made us wrong and has to be punished later on.

How this make sense?

The radicals who have attached themselves to your religion believe they will go to paradise by killing themselves--and taking as many innocent lives in their suicide as they can. What does the Quran tell you of the fate of the 5 year old boy who was killed in their attack? What of the 23 year old pregnant woman? Do they go to heaven or hell? Why must innocents be killed? Maybe I am a crazy Christian, but I can not see how an all powerful God (Allah) could take pleasure in the brutal murder of ANY of His children.

If she doesn't honer her father, is she breaking Gods commandment.

If yes, how could a loving God want her to be in misery. Could any human not developed resentment.

If no, does that mean that the commandments are not absolute.

have never seen a spirit in their life. They can sense them smell them hear them, but very few get to see and talk to them. Other people who have lost loved ones can see and speak to their loved ones, I have met people who have lost a child and have been able to talk and see their child, why do you think that is, does God give these gifts only to certain people. have you seen and spoke to your loved ones.

If a problem isn't worth praying about, it's not worth worrying about.


Is any of you in trouble? He should pray. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. James 5:13-16


My fellow Christians, let us stop right now and pray. Pray for your troubles, the troubles of others. Let us pray for everyone on Yahoo! Answers. The next question that you want to answer will wait on you while you talk to God. Cat

In the KJV of the Holy Bible, it goes:

"Verily I say unto you, Whosoever this gospel shall be preached in the whole world, there shall also this, that this WOMAN had done, be told for a memorial of her..." --Matt 26:13. [emphasis added]

1. WHO is this woman? and,

2. Why is this commandment/order of Jesus NOT being OBEYED *by those who preach* and cite the Bible/Gospels ALL THE TIME???

* * * * * * *

Sorry, you may have to read other verses to determine who it is... if you are so inclined. I'm just curious to see the responses here. Thanks for your input!

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison."

6 million Jews died as a result of this! Should I blame Christianity or the evil man who used Christianity for a personal agenda?

I'm Musli. Get my point? Please, ppl, grow up.

Presumably the deity is the supreme force in the universe, and source of all other forces. However, in the below question, one theist claims limits on the omnipotence of his deity (where the answerer would find these limits I do not know; if from the deity himself, the deity would be acknowledging SOMETHING else out there must be even greater than the deity):

We are told in the Bible that all must stand before the throne to give an account. Is this why they do not aknowldge the Lord?

I have a mental disorder, or at least I’ve been diagnosed with one. I know this to be true but I feel as though there might be something more going on with my body. The disorder is hypomania but my symptoms do not match that which I have looked up in the medical fields and what my doctor has told me. Recently, a close friend of mine mentioned demonic possession and I began to wonder. Could this be something I have?

I don’t know really how to explain what happens to me when I have an attack. Time distorts and seems to be super fast and super slow at the same time. I have flashbacks of terrible memories that twist into horrible fantasies. Like I am watching memories of bad things happening to me or that I am doing, but I don’t really remember them. Then I begin to see the things I can do like cutting myself open or other really bad things I don’t want to mention. I feel like there is another person inside of me that isn’t really a stranger. I once named this person Lizabethe because she is the embodiment of everything dark and evil inside myself. This is not to say I am pure good, it is just that she is so very bad. But at the same time she and I are the same person so I get confused. Tt feels like I become trapped inside my head but my mind expands so big that is like the universe or even bigger. I feel like I can see everything that is and was and will be but nothing at all. My mind races too fast for me to follow and it is like there are tiny fireworks in my head that explode and trigger another one and then explode and trigger another one again. There is this voice that taunts me in my head. It doesn’t sound like me but sometimes I am afraid it is me. It tells me horrible things. Things I should do and should not do. It calls me a liar and it says things that hurt so badly. I want to tell it to stop but it feels like I have no control of myself and no power over it. I see everything my body does but I can do nothing to stop it. I hate it. I hate having no control. I hate the things it makes me see and think and feel. I take medicine to stop it but sometimes it doesn’t help fast enough and I loose control.

This is also very embarrassing but I especially feel like this during mass. I want to be a good, religious person but I always feel like there is something bad inside of me. My mind drifts during the mass and I see all these sick things in my head. Sometimes it is like when you are on the edge of your seat getting ready to jump up and just do something – that is what I feel like. Sometimes I feel like I am about to start laughing and I always get this urge to do something bad like know over the fount of holy water or spit at the picture of Jesus or just something! I don’t know. But then there is always this feeling of not yet. Like it isn’t the right time for whatever it is. When – I tried to cut myself badly I couldn’t do it because I felt like there was a purpose some terrible purpose that I needed to do. Even when I am driving and start to do something bad so I can well die I get that feeling again. I know it sounds stupid but it is like there is a string or something tying me down and not letting me do – I don’t know.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve had my medication changed and I see my doctor but I don’t know if he really understands what happens to me. It is hard to talk about and lately when I have an attack something goes wrong in my throat and I can’t talk. Before I could talk a bit during an attack and that helped me stop it but now it is like there is an invisible hand around my throat that catches my words before they can make it to my mouth.

I am Catholic but not a very devout one and I – maybe it is just wishful thinking that there is someone who knows exactly what is wrong with me, but I didn’t think about it seriously until this friend mentioned it. He has seen a lot of scary things because of his job and I trust him but I was too afraid to tell him about this. I am just so tired of being dependent and of always being sick. I want to get better and something inside me doesn’t want to. I don’t want to be like this anymore.

I know this is probably the stupidest thing to say or post or whatever but I feel like I am getting worse and running out of options. Please any kind of help is good. Thanks.

Since I was a child I was told that God was up in the sky sitting on the clouds and that's where Heaven is too.
But, why don't we see the pearly gates of Heaven and God sitting there when we fly?
I usually fly (yes, in a aeroplane) from the US to England a minimum of about 8 times a year and around Europe and yet I haven't once seem Him or Heaven. So where are they? Or have it got it wrong? In which case please guide me in the right direction as my parents aren't very religious.

I am afraid it may really be over, and I could possibly be willing to accept that. I really don't like to think of myself as an agnostic...I'm having a hard time with this. My religion has been a big part of my world. Without it, I feel there is no sense in doing anything. Even loving my child: without God, how can there be love? What is the point, then, in anything? I feel very lost without God. Is there, perhaps, like a web site that can help me as I am going thru this? Something NICE, not aggressive?
