Since you seem to find apes so repulsive.

Just picture the cute skeletal record... Cro Magnon, Neanderthal, Habilis, Aferensis - Angelus! I can close my eyes and see the tiny little fossilized wings. Awwww!

if God is so perfect, then why isn't our idea of him PERFECTLY clear to humanity? if such a God existed, we wouldn't have a need to fight over him or what he requires us to do for salvation. when something is perfect, it has to be perfect by everyones opinion, and therefore would not be argued over. everyone would just agree that it's perfect. does anyone see what i'm getting at?

All non-Jehovah's are serving Satan and are controlled by demons. Jehovah's organization is the only truth. Did you know that they believe that? So the next time they come to your door ask them if they believe you are are serving God or the Devil. Of course they might avoid the question. Do they seem so nice now?

Why not liquidate and help spread the Good News. You can't take it with you, but you might be able to save some souls. You know, the whole camel and the eye of the needle thing...

Or don't you have the courage to stand by your conviction?

It should be no surprise that we have the highest aids rate, gay rate, abortion rate, jail rate, drop out rate, murder rate, death rate, poverty rate, and unemployment rate our nation has ever seen. You would think that somebody, somewhere would get concerned. But the men and women that have crept into our pulpits unaware are helping themselves to your money, but not giving a care about your soul.
Wake up church. -
Jude 4
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Doubt (which is a plague to normal men) is their passport to life(death really) Doubt is an upside-down faith - you disbelieve the Truth and believe in the lie.

Prideful personalities resent being shown the folly of pride. Stubborn and incurable, they prefer to remain in sin's psychotic stupor, clutching their teddy bears of delusion and clinging to one another like a bunch of frightened monkeys.

The spiritual blindness excites the wicked shepherd to close in for the kill. Licking his chops with glee, he rises from hell to serve up those exotic delights of pleasure and pain which every sinner needs, fattening them like turkeys for the feast.

I have looked around my Church, and I have talked to folks at other Churches, and this is hardly a rare thing. There are many single people in Church, many widows and widowers, but there are also lots of people who attend Church but who have a spouse who does not attend. If you are one of these people, does this have any effect on your relationship?

Of course, in an ever increasingly plural society, there are couples of differing religions or denominations, and there are shift workers, or people who are just disenchanted with the church. So there are many reasons why one person might stay away while their spouse attends.

What's your experience - if any - of this?

Atheists are obsessed with Christians ... they ask question after question, they mock us in their answers ... but why? If they dislike us so much, why don't they just simply ignore us? Well I believe that deep down inside, atheists know that God exists. Somewhere, deep down inside, atheists know that God loves them, and they are asking for help. If they truly believed that there is no God, they wouldn’t be so obsessed with Christianity. When Jesus returns, they will see.

Fellow Christians, what is your opinion on the atheists? Do you think they truly don’t believe in God, or do you think my theory could be true?

There are many transitional fossil for many species, including our own, yet the fundies demand even more transitional forms, and when more are found, they demand more again.
Clearly they aren't aware of the rarity of fossils and the unique conditions needed for fossilisation.

When other resources are cited explaning the many corroborative dating methods, they will deny the well documented science behind them, and offer the standard creationist party line spiel about the "inaccuracies of carbon dating" using "known" false and dishonest examples to do so, and which are not part of the mainstream sciences.

Isn't it strange to see these fundies demand and evidence and cited resources and automatically reject or ignore them, when their beliefs require NO EVIDENCE and are based on hearsay and faith.. How convenient..

Science merely describes the natural world honestly, and has no agenda for or against any religion, yet these people dishonestly attack and misrepresent science.

People read the same religious book, they live in the same country but still they divide themselves for a particular issue. Why?

*See the extension to this question for the entire scenario.

There are 3 guys. A Bishop, a bandit, and a Buddhist. The Bishop is good, the bandit is evil, and the Buddhist is a middle-of-the-roader that firmly believes in reincarnation. Each one has a radically different life and belief system, but they have one thing in common: they all plan on having their bodies cryogenically frozen when they die, so that they can be thawed, healed, and revived once the technology is available in the future.

Eventually, they all die, and their bodies are laid out and frozen next to each other, with each man in his own chamber. Their souls disincorporate and move on. The bishop goes to Heaven, the bandit goes to Hell, and the Buddhist is reincarnated into his next body. First he’s a bear, then a goat, then a cat, a dog, an eagle, an elephant, and finally a human baby boy. When he’s 9 years old, something extraordinary happens … the technology arises to revive the properly frozen dead.
