if we presume that the erstwhile religious edicts were created to bind the primitive humans in some informal sort of civilised society by every means--love, persuation, persecutions, power, coersion, punishment,reward, hope, promises, union, reunion, etc, etc, etc.....are we to assume that today's Laws had to be created in a modern civilisation to overcome the shortcomings/drawbacks that arose in an ever evolving world, to govern it better on more realistic grounds as opposed to a high moral and probably, anachronistic-stand (out of time) taken by the existing religions of the world,evolved much earlier with few changes.

of the McCanns?

I ploughed through just about all the papers today and the Mirror had an interesting snippet which alleged that the Vatican had removed all mention of the McCanns from its website.
What do you think about that?

In earlier eras, atheists were , mistrusted by the mainstream. few who dared to push their beliefs on society, like Madalyn Murray O'Hair, were regarded as malevolent kooks.. Today, Hitchens' New York Times bestseller, which has dominated the nonfiction charts for months, boldly condemns religion – including Christianity – as "violent, irrational, intolerant, allied to racism, tribalism, and bigotry, invested in ignorance and hostile to free inquiry, contemptuous of women and coercive toward children
Dawkins, the Oxford scientist who wrote "The God Delusion," is even selling young people "Scarlet Letter" tee-shirts with a giant "A" – for "atheist" – on his website (and bumper stickers too). Somehow, atheism – just like homosexuality, which used to be considered shameful and something to hide – is now becoming hip, sophisticated, enlightened, even a badge of honor.
If this isn't END TIME PROPHECY then what?

Apostle Paul warned the last days would bring a marked FALSE TEACHING

The Christians who died or was raptured will have perfected bodies, but some will come through the tribulation and millenium.

That is one of the qualities of truth, that you don't need to remember it. The lie has to be remembered continually; you may forget.

On R&S I've seen websites listed with web addresses such as www.evilbible.com and www.godisimaginary.com. Similarly, there's the Christopher Hitchens book "God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything."

Now, I personally am a bit annoyed by titles like that but it doesn't stop me from reading the contents and assessing the claims. And I know the point is to get people's attention.

But it seems like the more staunch conservative Christian could be put off by a title like that completely, and absolutely disregard the book or website, therefore missing the potentially valid content.

Maybe Christians aren't the intended audience, so it doesn't matter anyway. I don't know. What are you opinions on this?

Non-atheists are welcome to answer, too.

I walk as softly as I can, on the balls of my feet, toward the door. The sweat is beading up on my brow, my palm wet from squeezing the grip on my glock. I edge painfully slowly towards the peephole. God, please don't let them notice the light change in the peephole. I can hear my heart pounding in my chest as I try to control my breathing. My whole life flashes in front of me with every tick of the clock. Oh, no. I can hear a random country song playing on the radio in the kitchen, please God, don't let them hear it. But I can hear Tammy telling us to "stand by your man". Even though its on low volume, it sounds as if its booming through the dark dusty house. I see a cockroach scurry past my foot as I begin to do the unthinkable and look through the peephole. Every muscle in my body is taut, screaming "NO!", but I can't stop the insanity that has brought me to the door. I look out, and realize my worst nightmare. Yes it is the Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hello all, I pray that you are all doing well today.
Have you ever felt it? You wanted to do something and you knew that it was wrong, but you wanted to do it so bad, so you decided to so that you would be satisfied?
I have felt it. I have experienced it. You do that one thing and pretty soon, you are falling....
Satan has gotten you all tied up in the ropes of sin.
We are all in bondage, friends. To one thing or the other. You are not alone in your struggles. God's Word tells us that "None are good, no not one."
Shouldn't that make us feel better?
But, what do we do when we find ourselves in bondage?
"Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26:41
The good news is that our spirits are good. Our spirits know the difference between right and wrong. The bad news: our flesh sometimes starts a fight with our spirits. And the flesh is a fierce competitor. Sometimes, it wins.
Stay tuned...

is Christianity compared to rational thinking? already like 8 questions ask this.

im a Christian and have a very clear mind and understand alot. now before you jump down my throats for this understand im only approaching those who actually think this about my faith. its not a generalisation about everyone.

all im asking is why because i have faith in something am i automatically considered to be clouded and delusional?

and please, keep the sarcasm to a low, this is an honest question.

It is supposed to be Jesus, but 7 horns & 7 eyes??? Is it Jesus or not?

Rev.5:6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.

one to tempt?


I'm often told, when I have demanded God show himself as proof he exists, I am only tempting God and God can't be tempted.So, the above question stands as is.

If you admit that your religion is largely based on your environment, do you agree that your entrance to Heaven is largely based on God's decision of where to place your soul?
