And then it overloaded something, so my answer was empty... Was it a bit too long?

I am not kidding.

For example:
If I believe I am someone who can get through medical school, I can, right?

If I believe I can learn to do a crossword puzzle in 30 minutes, I can probably do it, right?

The difference is motivation, and self-confidence. If I believe I can get through med school, I will, because I'll have the confidence to believe I can. Same with the crossword puzzle.

So... do you think that people who are "saved" through religion actually are, because they believe they are?

Bare with me, but being "saved" is something that pertains to many very different faiths. (So if you can't look at it from the perspective of your own religion, look at it from the perspective of a different one so you can get my point. )

Do you think that people who believe they are saved through religion lead happier lives because they believe it? Are they saving themselves from themselves? From negativity? What are your thoughts?

I'm disgusted with the way most Christians act on here. That is, if you truly are Christians. Condemning people to hell...calling them names...telling them their lives are sad---all things Jesus would do? Nope!

If you're not going to do it the way Christ would--then don't do it all. You make the Christlike Christians look bad.

Does anyone else feel the same?

According to answerers on this question, God can't lie because he can't sin. One person said it would be "breaking his own rules". Isn't one of his rules not to kill? So..... lying is a sin, but killing off the entire human race including innocent children isn't a sin? Is that right?

There have been numerous sightings of extraterrestrial aliens throughout the history of mankind. Prominent creation scientist Em Adjineri (say her name out loud) has studied the anatomy of aliens and discovered that they share various features with mankind.

For example, both have two arms, two legs, and a head in roughly the same orientation. Additionally, they have facial features oriented in the same way, although aliens don't have ears or hair. Aliens also have four fingers, while humans have five. These numbers are pretty close together.

Aliens could not possibly have evolved from anything on Earth, because they come from far away galaxies. But they're morphologically similar to humans. This proves that God created aliens in his image in the same way he created humans.

Therefore, Creationism is true.

Take that, you unidentified flying evolutionists!

do you not know the truth. are so blind that you cannot see that the path to your freedom is to accept that god does not exist.
when will you realise this.
i will not pray that you will all be saved from yourselves and open your heart mind and soul to reality.
god does not know, love or see you. he is not there!

wake up, be real, use you mind that evolution gave you.
stop thinking like a child, learn to take responsibilty for what life is about. mumbo-jumbo of god begone!

What I get from your answers to my last question:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmVjJc83wnRweBH1o7lVrXfsy6IX?qid=20070826115646AAoWmsN

is that you don't mean to be rude to non-Christians.

But you hold us to your beliefs, and that is not fair. Not all human beings are Christian, or are going to believe what you believe. It is not appropriate, or polite, or respectful to speak of "Truth" to non-Christians in the way I described in my previous question.

It is fine to talk to each other that way, because you have the same beliefs.

Didn't Jesus say that one of the 2 most important things to do is to love your neighbor as yourself? Would you honestly like it if I talked the same way to you about my "Truth" as if it was the only truth, the only possibility?

Do you understand mine, and many other's position any better now?

I honestly am trying to reach an understanding, not to offend.

I am doing an experiment to create a beautiful woman on the basis of what Charles Darwin said in his Origin of Species (i have it right here):

"all the conditions for the first production of a living organism" could be met "in some warm little pond with all sorts of ammonia and phosphoric salts, light, heat, electricity, etc. present".

i have made a small pond in the yard, have all sorts of salt, have electricity and plenty of light, but where can i get ammonia and what does he mean by etc.?

...that if Christians were not so intolerant that there would be less Atheists?

Please give a little more than just "yes" or "no"--say WHY you agree or disagree.

It is extremely offensive when you have the attitude:

"oh you just haven't discovered the TRUTH yet"
or "you don't have have faith, that's why you don't know the TRUTH"

I get you think that is the truth. I think all of us of different faiths get that you think that. However, it is very arrogant and rude to say THE TRUTH.

Do you guys get what I'm saying? I'm not trying to offend anyone. I just feel like that is not understood, or that many of you on here don't get the difference between a Christians opinion of the truth, and someone elses.

We all just have opinions of what really explains things. Yours is no better than mine.

Can you understand my frustration and how this offends me and many other non-Christians?

If someone does not believe in god, and they feel they have meaning in their life and it makes them happy, does anyone have the right to openly condemn what they do not believe?

Why do some christians condemn this lifestyle?

Because I mean if you wholeheartedly believe in something and you turn out to be wrong in the end of times then, it would be a let down, but it would be less of one then when we get to the end of days and ya'll stand before Almighty God condemned for not believing in Christ . . .

muslim women are treated like a human being, and my mom is treated like a queen at my home.
how about yours? take a look at some of your yahoo questions:

the only different you never mention a christian man did it. but you will be so excited to say "a muslim man did it". that's how unfair a person can be. Islam, this beautiful religion protects our rights and our women. leave Islam alone, we already know its the true word from our lord.

For example, scientists have discovered rocks that are 3.8 to 3.9 billion years old by means of radiometric dating. Even some mineral diposits in these rocks date back to 4 billion years. How can rocks be older than the earth on which they lie? How can the Earth possibly be 6,000 to 7,000 years old as some claim?
