if so do you know of any websites where i could find information about them?
or do you have any information that you'd like to share?

also...
christians, if it is true that many people claimed to be messiahs and "the son of god", how does it make you feel about how genuine jesus was in his claims?

[before any assumptions are made, i'm an atheist]

thanks.

Can he?
He is a angel with no free will so everything he say is meant for something else (Tree of life) and not a lie because he uses it in a similar situation but not that particular one (Tree of Good and Evil) and is interpreted wrong.

I've heard this so many times I can't possible say where it started, but most recently in an answer right here a minute ago. I have also seen written somewhere (biography of Darwin? I'm not sure.) that this is a myth, and he did no such thing. Anybody have reliable references?

Hello brothers and sisters. I have a question. I have recently converted to Islam. I am Mexican and in our culture we have this holiday that is callled Day of the Dead. It is when we pray for the sake of our dead, also we arrange food on the table, flowers and candles, then we eat the next night. Is this something that I can still do? I mean I will be praying to Allah for my beloved dead.

If you are a christian and you are sure that what you believe is rel, and you meet a very nice person that you enjoy spending your time with and you want to be friends, but then you find out that he is atheist and there is nothing you can do to convince him of your beliefs.... will you stil be his friend?

This used to be called the three R's.Maybe some of you remember that.
I would be in favor of schools not teaching about God, science, sex ed, and all the other virtues, therories, that parents should be teaching at home.I am not interested in evolution, and I really don't want some one like Jim Jones or David Koresh teaching my children about God.
What say YE ?

All through your old testament, god tells his people to kill other people for land.
Such as Moses, and Joshua.
You Christians repeat ten times a day that your lord god is the same yesterday today and tomorrow.
Ummm, THEN WHY, OH WHY DOES YOUR GOD NOT TELL YOU TO KILL PEOPLE TODAY???
I once again prove you Christians do not follow your bible.
I demand you bow before my greatness.

My father sent me this in an e-mail.
I have never read the Bible, other than parts of Genesis for school. So if anyone wants to sum this up for me I'll appreciate it.

Psalm 32
Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.
Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord impuneth not iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
When I kept silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me; my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. Selah.
I acknowledged my sin unto thee, and mine iniquity have I not hid. I said, I will confess my transgressions unto the Lord; and thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. Selah.
For this shall every one that is godly pray unto thee in a time when thou mayest be found; surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
Thou art my hiding place; thou shalt preserve me from trouble; thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance

Like...Christians believe in a man walking on water, rising up to heaven, heaven, talking snakes...etc.

But for Buddhists?

would you believe in god if hell didn't exist? if there was no consequence, would there be any point to believe? that's why christianity sounds made up to me. it sounds like belief out of fear.

Seems to very very little written about him during his life which seems very strange for a man who could perform miracles? Anyone studying the (lack of) evidence would have to conclude that there is a great chance he didn't even exist?

Why do so many people have so much against Jehovah's Witnesses? Personally I've never seen a JW do anything wrong except stand up for what they believe in. People do that all the time, so what makes JW's so diffrent? Why don't people just listen to there message first and then make a conclusion. I mean people use to believe that JW's didn't believe in Jesus but then Jw's came out with the Follow the Christ district convention campaign. So why don't people just give them a chance and listen to them and not to the lies that others tell.
Opinions please. And some feedback from JW's.

Can we all agree that this man is a sexist, racist, bigot who deserves jail time?

Scroll down halfway to listen to his speech-it's about 2 minutes long. I'm sure you know the story, so just listen to his words...scary!

State your religion as well, and a few words about how religious YOU are

2007-09-14 12:04:57 · 28 answers · asked by larissa 6

I have seen REPEATED posts of Christians saying, "God cannot be questioned!" or "Stop trying to judge God, God is above all human judgement."

But when a Christian wants someone from another faith to convert, they ask them to question and doubt the validity of their beliefs and to also question the Diety they worship.

How come, the same approach cannot be used with the Christian beliefs and Diety? Why when you question or doubt it, you are told, it is a sin or wrong to do so? Isn't that a bit unfair?

If we are to use that process to decide which faith to reject, why can't we use that same process to decide which faith to follow?

Why must we question ours but not yours?

How are we to know we are not just following another according to some Christians "false religion or false God" if we cannot judge and question YOUR God and his actions and what you say are his words?

Don't we have the right to use our God given faculties to weigh the differences?

the definition of the word "theory" in a scientific context?

Theory has a very different meaning in the scientific world. It's not a guess, or conjecture. For instance there is the theory of gravity, the theory of relativity... a theory is a body of experimentation, evidence, mathematical proofs, etc. that support a hypothesis. A hypothesis, for those who don't know, is an educated guess based on physical observations or prior experimentation.

The theory of evolution has been proved as best as science can prove anything, and it gains more and more evidence to support it almost every day. Those who call it "just a theory" either have a fundamental misunderstanding of science and the scientific method, or are making excuses to believe things that are not true.

Definition of scientist: A person who seeks to discover the nature of an event, object, or entity by logical reasoning, studying, experimenting and providing proofs for his conclusions.

Definition of theologian: A person whose premise is the belief in the existence of a supernatural entity whose nature cannot be grasped by the senses or logical reasoning. The theologian may not even admit to himself the possibility that his premise, on which all his study is based, may be false.
