I have seen quite a few comments on these forums similar to "I am not raising my child in any religion because I want him or her to decide for himself when he gets older."

Are parents like this shirking their responsibility to God to raise their children when they do this?

I have to tell you, when someone asks a question like this: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Akqd.XTmYJWD3sGpnFzVJKTd7BR.?qid=20070820084131AAP9n9a
It only serves to eliminate all possibility of me taking you and your religion seriously.

Clearly this person has no comprehension of evolutionary theory. Whether you agree with evolution or not, you should at least equip yourself with a basic understanding of how it's supposed to work.

I know there are some educated Christians out there who know what I'm talking about. Do you have no interest in educating your Christian brothers and sisters? Or are you ok with allowing them to make the rest of you look stupid?

You dont know anything at all about the people answering the questions, nothing about their life. You dont know what event in their life made them think the way they do, but you start calling them names even so. (i heared christians are stupid, atheists are ciminals and all kind of more-than-silly things)
I'm NOT asking this question to everybody, but only to those who give people names and jump into conclusions about somebody without knowing enough.

Why are so many ppl so into it, also all evolutionists say they want theories of Creationism to be proved true, but if I gave you evidence of my theory, (which is what they are, theories, since I just trust God anyway and dont worry about where I came from) you would just deny it immediately. So I challenge you to google "findings" of Noah's Ark on the Top of Mt. Ararat. To be honest there is no irrespudible proof that this is or isn't Noah's Ark, since most of it is well decayed, but there is proof that your so called "Nebraska Man" is an extinct pig.

if not, then why won't you try someone else's holidays? wouldn't this be open minded of you, and help dispell the stereotype of the closed minded christian fundie?

and this doesn't have to relate only to halloween, what about a muslim celebration, or jewish, or anything different? it also might help you understand the religions better and realize that they're not evil.

If you increase each letter you get "mpjhjmfs"

Now if you add the letter "a" between wach consonant you get "mapjahjamfas"

LEave a space between each 3 letters.

map jah jam fas

Take out the "jah" and the "fas"

"map jam"

Take the first letter of each word and put it at the end, then join the words.

"Pammaj"

Add an "S" tp the fornt

Spammaj

You pronounce it Spammage.

So therefore religion is spam.

I'm 15, and my parents aren't very religious, along with the rest of my family. We used to go to church when I was younger (think Pre-K) and I went to Sunday School and such. I've been told that we stopped going because my parents wanted us to grow up to believe what we choose to, and that they don't want to force us to do anything we don't want to, and I respect them for that. I'm Methodist, and the church is about 2 blocks from my house.

But, like I asked (I tend to ramble a bit), I don't know how to ask my parents if I can go to church. They're pretty open to things like this, but religion is such a touchy subject, and I'm not sure how to approach this.

What do people who believe in religion say about the ancient Greeks, or the Ancient Egyptians' religions? Keep in mind that they were a group of people too and also keep in mind as to what THEY would say were we to ask them their thoughts on OUR present day religion. Does that just say that everybody is right, or that everybody is wrong?

Can anyone defend this argument?

What fallacy, if any, is committed?

Everywhere around me good people are struggling with finances, relationships, work, family, and life in general.

We are people that believe in God and try to live righteously to the best of our abilities.

Meanwhile, people who are theves, liars, murderers, cheats, and crooks seem to prosper without any recourse.

Do you believe if you break an E-Machines into a million pieces and then drop them from the sky that it will all fall into place and be a full working computer again? And then after millions of years it will turn itself into a dell?

Anyone living in the modern world surely must want to believe? There is still not one shred of evidence for a god and looking at evidence of how men lived 2000 years ago, logic and common sense points to it all being man made. Especially as there are so many religions..What do you think?

I am not talking about christian traditions that are pagan in origin, i am talking about the other way around.

I find it very interesting here that some protestants will blantantly take pot-shots at roman catholics for their beliefs; myself, having a family that is about half catholic & half protestant I never see that kind of behavior there.

The roman catholic church came into existence first and the protestant reformation began many years later in 1517; so then, why the animosity? Do some people really need to feel that superior to a fellow human being?

Islamic extremists seem to be at war everywhere.. Africa, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Asia, Europe, Eastern Europe etc..There also seems to be a divide in mosques here in North America and in Europe.. Moderate muslims are being marginalized and shouted down by more extreme elements within the mosque community. It seems like the religion is fracturing...

do you celebrate easter or christmas? if so, why those and not halloween? they are all pagan holy days and not originally christian.

if one is evil, surely the other two are as well? can you explain the difference?
