i meant no disrespect, but why i don't hear Christians praises the God in heavens more than they praise Jesus, i hear you thanking Jesus more than thanking God in heaven, why is that? isn't He the one who created you?

and especially that Jesus said:

john 14:28 reads--
" .......BECAUSE THE FATHER IS GREATER THAN I AM"

John 8:54
Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God:

John 7:16
Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me

My polite and humble Question was

"Tom Cruise is jumping on Oprah's couch begging everyone to follow scientology, What will you tell him?"

The best answer i chose,
"Mission Impossible,Tom"

No sense of humor. End result, Pissed off scientologists.

Are there FUNDIES in every religion???

An eye-for-an-eye provides protection from vengeance for taking another's eye. The punishment cannot be worse than the crime. For people of surrounding cultures, it was a "life-for-an-eye."

Jewish law provides protection from practices of other cultures they lived among. Taking a life in vengeance was the norm of the day -- God forbade His people from those practices. His people are to be a holy people and must provide justice for ALL -- for both Israelites and for strangers in their land. There were cities of refuge where people could receive protection from vengeance after having accidentally killed someone, or for other "crimes."

Love must be tempered by justice. We cannot have peace without both love and justice (tough love).

Psychology teaches that we behave in accordance to the activity in our brain and based on experiences we've had.

Astrology asserts that we behave as a reaction to the alignment of stars and planets.

Is it fair that one be taught and not the other? Why?

And even if you don't think so, people should take a look at my last question. I don't bash people, but the amount of intolerance shown by some people here is just pathetic. It's 2007. Why are some people so ignorant? Anyway, what is your conclusion based on this?

"Close (closer than the last phony) but no cigar. Note the shape of the cheeks and the width of the nose.
His arms and hands are in view and appear uninjured, whereas it was reported that the real Osama's left arm was severely injured at Tora Bora.

Consider this: if this was the real Osama, didn't his appearance prove that Bush has wasted two hundred billion dollars and a thousand American lives (plus 100,000 Iraqi lives) without making us any safer from Osama? If the 2004 tape were genuine, wouldn't it prove that Bush is a total failure in his own "war on terror"?"

I see soooo many churches saying they teach tolerance but in the end what they are really teaching is....
"this is what Jews believe... they are going to Hell. We should love them and do our best to change what they believe"

"this is what Muslims believe... they are going to hell. We should love them and do our best to change them!"

"this is what atheist "believe" They are going to hell.............

Is this tolerance and love?

I've noticed many Christian/creationist parents do not want their children being taught evolution in school.

I've also noticed that many Christians/creationists aren't very knowledgeable when it comes to the theory of evolution and sometimes appear ignorant when trying to debate the subject.

What I don't understand is: Why is it that many Christians do not want their children to be knowledgeable about something simply because they don't agree with or believe in it? Wouldn't it be best for them to understand the subject, even if they don't believe in it or agree with it? You can't possibly debate an issue if you do not understand the other side's point of view.

This is why you find that many atheists are so knowledgeable about religion - you can't argue something you don't understand.

The day when the poor masses can finally open their eyes to the truth and shake off the shackles of religion. The day when people can live free without the fear of a fictional, eternal place of damnation and religious oppression. The day when people like Pat Robertson, Jerry Falwell, Benny Hinn, Louis Farrakhan, D. James Kennedy and Ayatollah Khomeini are relics of a forgotten myth

Is PTSD a curse from GOD on those who kill the innocent and then get a pay check ?

"Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen" (Deuteronomy 27:25).

Religion is a strong influencer in politics these days. George W. Bush claims he prays to God to make his decisions (scary if God is behind his actions). In my research, I discovered these passages in the book of Mormon:

"And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity ... wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them. And thus saith the Lord God: I will cause that they shall be loathsome unto thy people". 2 Nephi 5:21-22

"And cursed shall be the seed of him that mixeth with their seed; for they shall be cursed even with the same cursing. And the Lord spake it, and it was done". 2 Nephi 5

Should we feel comfortable having a Mormon who believes in this as our president? Do they do use the same approach Christians use to excuse inhumane, flawed or ignorant references in their bible?

How many of you believe this? Notice I am not taking sides here or stating anything else. Just simply asking how many of you believe this, and what you think of it.

Does anyone have any evidence (demonstrable evidence) of someone whose incomplete limbs were made whole by faith healing? I have heard arguments against God healing amputees because their limbs were taken because of human choices.

But for people who have a genetic (intelligent?) design faults and have been born without fully formed limbs... isn't that valid for healing, just as Jesus healed the blind who were born that way?

Remember, with God, all things are possible. St. Peter walked on water, simply by his faith.
