In Genesis, it says god said let there be light on the first day, but didn't create the sun until the fourth day. So, what was he using for light before this? Did he have a giant flashlight?

Why did Muhammad take the top pagan god of the Kabah in Mecca (called Hubal and/or Allah) and chose it to be his monotheistic god? What Muslims refer to today as "Allah"?

In the bible, Egypt's mascot is the fly (pollution) and Assyria's is the bee (fornication)...so then, what's Babylon's mascot? I'll give you one hint: it's a predatory bloodsucker, appropriate for the spirit of Babylon, and associated with wisdom. It's not directly mentioned like the other two are (perhaps because it's so sneaky) First correct answer gets the 10.

Why do babies not have to face the temptations of Satan like everyone else? Doesn't man have to accept Jesus in order to enter heaven? If God already knows who's going there and who's not, why not skip the entire process? After all, he gave those un-born babies a free pass didn't he?

God lived in er...Khulala(since heaven wasn't created yet) with His dear angels. One day Lucifer saw that God's golden chair imbedded with diamonds looked way too tempting so he thought of something EVIL! So he gathered some angels to his room and said:

L: I declare myself as God! You will all join me and dethrone that old retarded man! Come now!

Lucifer and his angels approached God with their magical staffs.

G: What are you trying to do?!
L: Surrender old man! For I have come to personally FIRE your azz!
G: How dare you!!!???

God and Satan now started to cast their most potent spells agains each other!
L: "Avada Kadavra"
G: "Expelliarmus"
L: "Finite Incantatum"
G: "Morsmorde"

After days of relentless struggling between them...Satan offers his fatal blow

L: "Crucio !"

Many self proclaimed "satanists" I've talked to know nothing about satanism. They come from religious backgrounds and speak about how much they hate God, but they proclaim to worship a little guy with horns that lives in a Looney-Tunes esq. hell.

The main reason they give for hating God is because some christians push their beliefs on people(which can be applied to any religion, but for some reason christianity is targeted). To me, it isn't God that does that, it's a sanction his followers. So why don't they say "I'm anti-christian or I'm anti-religion?"

Ganeshotsava this year is from the 15th of september to the 25th. How are you planning to celebrate it and what kind of preparations are you doing?

2007-09-02 21:17:25 · 5 answers · asked by RAKSHAS 5

first off, let me just say that i don't have any religious affiliation. i don't have a problem with people of faith unless they try to force their beliefs on others. i believe that most religions teach good values such as forgiveness, unconditional love (even for your enemies), and being generous. please don't try to convert me and i won't try to change your mind about your faith. thanks.

(for a second here, i'll just assume that there is a god.)

here it is:

if god is really all knowing, what would be the point of living? i might be wrong but i thought life on earth was supposedly a test, of sorts. you know, to see if we deserve to go to heaven. if god is omnescient, he should know whether we'll end up going to heaven or hell before we're even born. i just can't seem to wrap my mind around this. :) if anyone could give me some insight or something, i'd really appreciate it.

thanks.
