When we see and know the moon controls the sea tides, womens menstrural cycles, and the zodiac sign of cancers ever changing moods.

Why don"t we accept this as proof when evidence is there, and why don"t we see effects of other planets on people, and question why?

For instance, when a layman hears the word "theory" they think of a guess or an assumption or something like that. But to a scientist, a theory is extremely important. Theories form from doing research on a given subject over and over again. Scientists don't just sit in a room and say "I think this is true. Let's call it a theory!" Do you think anti-evolutionists are confusing the words "theory" and "hypothesis"?

How seriously should we take that statement? Is it wrong to kill for any reason at all? I am joining the Marines soon and I'm willing to take a life to save a friend or take the life of any enemy trying to take mine. Is this wrong? Will god forgive me for my sins if i am to do such a thing? Or to even think of doing it?

...all of our many religions and beliefs, and just get along?

There are wider problems in this world than religion (or lack thereof).

Poverty is perhaps the biggest one. Did you know that there are more Americans living in poverty than in some third world countries?

This is partly due to population differences, but nevertheless it shows that poverty exists in rich countries as well as poor. It's just easier to ignore in a rich country. It's relatively unknown that there are hundreds of thousands of British children who do not have a 'full' school uniform, or even more than one pair of shoes.

I already have the 17th of October booked in my diary. It's the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. I will be taking part in charity events on that day. I recommend you do the same.

So please... set aside your quarrels and recognise that there are people the world over who need our help. Not just in 'darkest Africa'.

Can I have thoughts and comments?

If you believe, then why you need to do a lot of rituals?
like:
1. Praying and reciting the rosary.
2. Believing in baptism of babies.
3. Believing Purgatory.
4. Calling the Pope Holy Father or priest father.
5. Praying for the soul of deceased relatives or kin.
6. Adding more books to the Holy Words of God.
7. Signing of Cross.
Therefore if these rituals you have is written in the Holy Words of God and instructing you of such; so where can you find it in God's Holy Words? Why, you have to do it?

I don't think gay people are going to hell, nor do I believe in hell...but a lot of Christians, etc. think gay people are going to hell. So if we gays are damned to hell, from a religious standpoint, what motivation do we have to be good people??? (I know being a good person is the right thing to do, but if it's your belief that gays are definitely going to hell, that would give us no religious reason to be a kind person.

This question is for any atheists who used to belong to a religion and have since 'converted' to atheism. (Pun intended..lol) All are welcome to answer though. :)

I am not yet ready to wholly reject the idea of a god. What I do reject is a god anything like the one presented in the Bible. Before you 'officially' became an atheist did you consider other religions?

Also to anyone who considered being atheist and chose otherwise, what did you decide was right for you? When i say 'considered being an atheist' I mean pondered the idea that there was no god.

Of course it's not, but far be it from me to stop anyone from giving their opinion. If you really think you know it's a sin, tell me why.

If someone believes in God, as in the holy trinitarian God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, is it okay or correct to call God, Allah? Or is Allah not the same thing? Please explain your reasons. Thanks.

Do athiests just not believe in God or Jesus, or do they not believe in any higher power at all?

2007-09-29 10:50:48 · 24 answers · asked by sassy.nurse 2

I read that the true Atheist was one that respects another's religion. One that keeps his own doubts about religion to himself. One that doesn't try to pull people away from their God because they believe that they're way better. Can't we all have different ways?? They don't believe in religion or spirituality, so why are they even here?? I'm not trying to sound mean, i'm just curious as to why they would discuss a religion they don't believe in?

1 Corinthians 5:11 - "But now I am writing you to quit mixing in company with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man."

1 Corinthians 5:13 - "While God judges those outside? Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.”

Titus 3:10, 11 "As for a man that promotes a sect, reject him after a first and a second admonition; knowing that such a man has been turned out of the way and is sinning, he being self-condemned".

Then we have:

Matthew 5:43-45 "...Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you"

How would you explain that "apparent" contradiction?
No bashing please.
I'm sure someone will have a good thorough answer! :0)
