What does Jesus mean when He says, "Ye worship ye know not what"

Hello friends,
I pray that you are all doing well today. I have a couple of questions from my reading today. I was reading in Genesis again and noticed something that I never really thought too much about before.
Genesis 9:4-6:
But you must not eat meat that has it's lifeblood still in it. And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, too. I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. Whoever sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made man.

Ok, so my questions are: What exactly is lifeblood? I think I know a little what God is saying but I am not sure. Especially when He talks about demanding an accounting of mans lifeblood. Also, reading this two or three times, it seems to me that this is actually the first time that God commanded men not to murder. But, then I think about where it says that if man sheds the blood of man, so

if i walked around all day covered in peanut butter and you asked me why i was covered in peanut butter, to which i reply, "to keep the demons out." i'd imagine you laugh about it. i imagine any sane person would. is there any difference between picking on one person for his unpopular superstitious beliefs as opposed to picking on millions of people for their superstitious beliefs?

I'm not anything at all but I get so sick of watching you torment people who aren't bothering you. They never bother you except in your imagination. I don't see Religious people ever posting antagonistic and taunting questions towards you lot.
I know true a true Atheist and I can tell you with certainty he is one of the most reasonable and open minded, pleasant people you will ever meet. They love to discuss the possibility of God and all of these types of greater possibilities because they are not threatened. They have nothing to defend since there is no belief system for them. They have no Religion as you do. This was the case with Einstein and other true Atheists.They would never dream of Organizing. You are PseudoAtheist/Humanist/Se ckulaar/Co Reeligg ioni sts. If you have an organization and print, publish and promulgate information and literature...you are in a Religious organization my friends...I don't care what you call it....If it Quacks...

Many people including doctors believe that medical miracles are occuring on this planet even now. According to them incurable diseases are dissapating from people's bodies, sicknesses dissapear, and tumors magically cease to be threatening.

If all these things are correct, why is it that 100% of the time amputees never grow their limbs back?

I've heard this said in different ways on different things. If I believe it to be true and in my heart I believe it, it's true to me.

Isn't that statement just the absolute pure definition of ignorance? If it's true to you, thats enough? Isn't truth universal? Wouldn't it need to be true for all?

I can hold the idea that 1+1=3 close to my heart, but really, even if I believe in it and have never been proven wrong, am I truly right? I "believe" I am, I "think" I am, and so far, nothing has proven me wrong, but does that mean I knew?

When someone says that "my belief" is all that matters, in the end, does that not mean one is no longer open to challenge themselves? Challenge others? To debate and logically deduce beliefs until they become unchallengeable? To "delearn"everything?

So, are you delusional to suggest your belief, as long as it's true to you, is truth itself?

I can understand people not believing in any gods, somepeople need to see proof before they believe in something, and thats fine.
I can understand anyone believing in gods and taking this on faith, I am one of those people myself.
Could someone please explain to me though, how some people believe in one god, but refuse to accept the possibility of other gods.
NOTE: I am not asking if gods exist, that is for each person to decide for themselves, what I want to know is, if you believe in one what makes you so sure there are no others. Try to answer this without using the bible, because those of us who believe in many gods do not believe in the bible.

Joyce Meyer has blessed me alot. She has a wonderful ministry. She told me to be confident because insecure people are hard to deal with and she said that our spirits should always be light and free so we can be free to handle life's adversities. She says you have to let your cares go and practice the warfare of rest cuz that causes God to act. She said that if you seek God's prescence, that is where real joy comes from. And much much more...................

In the early 70s, there was a movement to embrace Christianity by the liberal left. There was a Christian commune featured in Easy Rider, and the movie-musical Jesus Christ Superstar was made during this era. Bob Dylan had a gospel album (Slow Train Coming,) as did Eric Clapton (One in Every Crowd.) Now - from this non-Christian's perspective - it seems like Christianity is an anathema to the far-left.

I always hear people say that there isn’t enough proof to support evolution. Well, how much proof is out there that supports creationism?
And no bible quotes please, I have heard enough of those.
