Adultery is so common nowadays that it doesnt even raise an eyebrow.

Polygamy however is seen as some sort of perveted sin.

Has Satan decieved the people ?

Adultery = B*stard children = Society of b*stards

----------------------

Deut. 21:15 If a man have two wives, one beloved, and another hated, and they have born him children, both the beloved and the hated; and if the firstborn son be hers that was hated:

Deut. 21:16 Then it shall be, when he maketh his sons to inherit that which he hath, that he may not make the son of the beloved firstborn before the son of the hated, which is indeed the firstborn:

Deut. 21:17 But he shall acknowledge the son of the hated for the firstborn, by giving him a DOUBLE portion of all that he hath: for he is the beginning of his strength; the right of the firstborn is his.

We pagans were informed that atheist should ridicule us more because our beliefs were far more ridiculous (ancient gods that "no one" believes in anymore) then Christianity. So should you be bashing us more?

I already know it is sad and depressing so it need not be said again. I do write positively when the mood strikes.



Blackened Cloud

Nothing to do, nothing to say, I seem to do everything wrong,

Growing older year after year my dreams hopeless, there gone,

Missing the company of people, they hate me it would seem,

Bad luck encompasses my entire life, good luck is only a dream,

Nothing to live for, nothing to fight,

No success, No happiness in sight,

Standing shaking under a big blackened cloud,

Rain falls, lightning flashes, the thunder is so loud,

I need a miracle, I need it quick, I need it fast,

I don’t know how much longer I can last,

some equate parts of the near death experience (seeing a white light) due to low oyxgen.

just curious as to your thoughts on near death experience. do believe that it;'s changes within the body that causes one to say, see a bright, white light, the life review, and 'seeing one's body from up above', or do you truly feel that it's something of the spiritual realm?

I know I proably ask many questions that make people who have no faith here stand on thier heads with dander but I noticed most of the christians I knew were here when I first joined are now gone>>>

I know a few Jews and Muslims come on from time to time but proably are irritated with the Christian vs atheist dialogue that rages on.so they proably leave...

Anyways what I see is now this site being more posters with Atheistic views that being said. Do you think it would be better for this site to consists of Atheist and Pagan posters?, then you all would have no reason to ridicule people of GOD because they are gone!

Just like a Yahoo Rapture! If you think you can talk christians into giving into a Christian Ladociean Belief you are sadly mistaken especially with me...
So would you stick around here if every christian left this site?

Yes there are other questions like this but they didn't get to the point.
From what I have read and heard in the past people will say, "Because the Bible says so and that is the word of God." That is not a strong answer.
Christianity and the Bible were created after the rise and fall of many other religions which stated they were the true faith. These religions were in place before the concept of Christianity was thought up.
Religion was created to help support the unknown of the world such as were we came from. These people charished their faith and believed full heartedly that its the truth. This is the same today.
I am focusing on Christianity more so because it's the majority here on Y!A.

So if religions have been around since the dawn of man for the reasons above, wouldn't it be justifiable to say that religion today is just the same as it once was? Just another line of stories to help give man answers in life and in time more will exist and people will follow them.

Gee, I wonder how many people will say, "There is no such thing as sin."? I'm guessing the over/under is 8.

If you were god and could make a universe and control its elements, create life in its many forms, as well be omnipotent and ominiscient, would you demand loyalty, thanks and eternal worship or would you try and encourage man to get on with it, live with one another without prejudice and fight for humanity. Would you make man a little less evil too?

Wouldn't sex organs indicate, well, sex and reproduction (and thereby also implying a finite lifespan)? Who does God have sex with, mrs. God? Without reproduction, what is the point of reproductive organs? Of gender? Did God have a mom and dad?

Above is one story about the nearly decade long battle for Wiccans in the military to have a pentagram on their govenrment issued headstone.

I am especially interested in what Christians think about the fact that there have been several Christians symbols available, as well as several emblems available for other faiths, but for 1o year the VA refused to allow Wiccans a symbol of THEIR faith. It was only after the threat of a lawsuit that they did the right thing.

The VA kept saying they were "revising" the rules, but groups that applied AFTER the Wiccans applied were quickly approved, and the VA just kept giving one flimsy excuse after another to the Wiccans.

Our commander in chief actively supports the curtailment of Wiccan civil rights in the military, he does NOT think they have a right to practice their faith.

What do you think about all this ?

I am very tolerant to different opinions, cultures, and beliefs. The only things I'm not tolerant of are bigotry, lying, and condemnation of others. If those who call me intolerant are guilty of these, then I can see why they react that way. Because they are the intolerant garbage trying to make someone else look bad so that their shortcomings may be ignored. Just in case anyone's wondering, only Christians have ever called me that, even though there are several Christian answerers who get best answer from me on a regular basis. It isn't the religion, its some of the members that are the problem. Although I cannot believe the Christian dogma, cannot make myself believe the Bible is anywhere near true, and have a wonderful life as is I do have great respect for some members of the Abrahamic religions. I guess it's just that the worst ones are the loudest. Feel free to give your opinions.

All sins are equal right ?

To break one law is to break them all right ?

Whenever God is slow to answer our prayers, what we believe about God is revealed. Do we change our plans and move in a different direction when pressure mounts? Or do we continue on the path God has directed for us?
Has God called you to stand for a cause bigger than yourself? You will have opposition to His call; sometimes it even comes from those in your own camp. But if God has called you, then you can be sure He will make a way. He has already opened the way before you. But you must walk in faith, joined with Him to take the land.

...Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go (Joshua 1:9).

Do you hold the same level of respect for the Bible and Dianetics?

Do you think Christians and Scientologists are equally "deluded"?

There are lots of evil lies and stuff people make up about our church that you shouldn't believe. We don't do evil suicide stuff in the temples, and we don't kill people who disagree with us.

We're a normal church that just happens to have more truth than the others. Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and restored the true church, the Book of Mormon, other scriptures, and the Temple to the Earth after the apostasy in Jesus Christ's time. We don't pray to him or worship him, just God, but we honor him as a prophet, just like Moses or Noah.

If you have LDS or Mormon questions, ask them and I'll answer!

Yes of course we should ask forgiveness from people around us when we have wronged them! The Bible tells us to do this--
But we must also seek GOD when needing forgiveness as well- NOT saints, not priests- but GOD- Jesus tells us the way to pray in the NT-- praying to our Heavenly Father. Many are confused on this, because they think the Bible is telling us to go to a person instead of pray to God. What good is that going to do? Jesus is perfect- He is our ONE mediator between God and man, as the Bible says. He is our ONE High Priest, no need for priests anymore, for Jesus has fulfilled that! It is our New Covenant with Him- what is there not to understand? I am asking this again because I see many catholics out there who are confused on this- Please put your trust in JESUS, not man. Know that is it about JESUS, and no priest on earth is sinless, no priest on earth can compare to God! Now that Jesus is here, HE is the one we are to pray to- He is the one we confess our sins to.

If the whole world was dying, and you knew that your child was the cure... Would you sacrifice him for the sake of the WHOLE WORLD?

If YES, Why?
If you said YES, How would you react if when your son's life has been taken, and everyone is healed... you leave the Hospital and everyone acts like you did absolutely NOTHING for them? They show NO appreciation? NO gratitude? They don't even acknowledge your son's life and/or death? They don't even believe that he existed and if He did, there was no way that he saved them all? But you know the truth... What would you do? How would you feel? What would be your reactions?


If NO, Why?
If you said NO, please explain how you would feel knowing that you had the cure. And you did nothing about it? That you saved one life over billions? What would make you think that that is ok? What would be your explination?
