i've been thinking about it, and in a way i think that an eternal heaven could be an illogical inconsistency.

No one really takes too much consideration of the implications of an actual eternal state.

It's neverending.
for a christian, i''m sure that sounds really nice, i can't blame most of them for not seeing anything wrong with it, but i think that after a certain amount of time, heaven would become hell to each and every single person who inhabited this place.

if it is forever and ever, then at a certain point you will have experienced all that an entity could possibly experience.
you would know ever bit of information that can be processed by a mind (or spirit, whatever)

When atheists use expletive remarks such as God damn or Jesus Christ, aren't those atheists invoking the very names of entities they insist do not exist? When one says God damn, in essence, they are asking God to damn someone or something. Isn't it, therefore, hypocritical to invoke names of entities that, in an atheists opinion, do not exist?

Why the need for a oral tradition and written text for hundreds of years (and continuing today) when so many people were/are illiterate?

Surely, a self-respecting god would punish any blasphemer that has the chutzpah to accuse him of being an arrogant, vindictive whore?

Theologians have probed that Mormonism is a cult. They believe Jesus is the brother of Lucifer, in spite of John 1:1. They believe they'll be gods of their own planet and their god lives on the planet Kolob. They wear special underwear with Masonic Lodge symbols that are supposed to have magic properties.

Is it wrong to tell them about the REAL Jesus?

Sadhus are being banned. Hinduism is being ridiculed in name of progress & modernism. Hindu identity is being dissolved.

This is NOT on, and its actually quite weird.

The fact is Hindus have the greatest heritage and strongest self-identity in the world. We are the most copied of all religions, and Sanskrit is the mother of all languages. We should not believe when our enemies try to convince/persuade us, appearing as our friends.

How can we be a "good steward" of our time and finances? What does the Bible mean by this?

The arrangement of a mother's genes could affect the sexual orientation of her son, according to a new study.
The finding, detailed in the February issue of the journal Human Genetics, adds fuel to the decade-long debate about whether so-called "gay genes" might exist.
The researchers examined a phenomenon called "X chromosome inactivation" in 97 mothers of gay sons and 103 mothers whose sons were not gay.

I once heard that, when we die, we learn all the answers to every question we ever had. I hope so, because I have a LOT of questions! What do you think?

What's the strongest show of faith you've ever witnessed? Please, if you're going to respond in an effort to debate, it's not that kind of question.

I'm asking b/c my father went through weeks of excruciating agony directly before his death in 2005. I remember my mother telling him that it all just wasn't fair b/c he was in more pain than can be imagined. He very calmly looked at her and said, "Jesus had to suffer so why shouldn't I?" Wow, now that's devotion! Anyone else been witness to such courage?

of the same questions labelling those who disagree with their viewpoint as stupid and all the other put downs. I have seen allot of intelligent and respectful people on both sides of many issues. But categorically calling people from opposing groups as stupid is more damaging to your own credibility. Agree?

On the site tv links, click on Documentaries and then on Mormons, Illuminati. Very interesting, see what you think. Sorry I don't know how to link to it the proper way.

Mormons, beware - your church has forbidden Mormons to watch this video.

For that matter do you think that Jesus being the son of god would know what Cancer is? Are there any biblical verses that indicate how much Jesus knew?

Might there, someday, somewhere, be a creature who evolves to the point of basically being "god-like"?

to be the mother of Jesus, a egg of hers had to of been used and the father in heaven fertilized it. SO some of Mary is in Jesus, to make her his mother.

the way I see it is God just used a womans body, her womb...no egg was fertilzed, so mary is not the mother of Jesus, and Jesus just belongs to his father.

do you agree or disagree?
