And please, none of this "Jesus died for our sins to eradicate the old Jewish law" baloney. It makes no difference. The atrocities happened either way. Most of you Christians ignore them or are not even aware of them. Check out this website, there are several like it-

People in every culture throughout history have believed their gods were the only ones. Temples, pyramids, statues, wonders of the world have been built in their honor and thousands have been slaughtered in their name. None of them have survived throughout the entire history of mankind. What makes you think the god you currently believe in is different and won't be replaced in the future?

If you believe that man was seperately 'made' different from the rest of life on Earth....
Do you think 'god' created the Chimpanzee first, as a 'template' before 'making' man?
It would certainly seem so, look at their faces, ears, hands, fingernails, family ties, moods etc!
Also, they are 98% genetically the same as humans!!

Ps.... Surely Evolution provides a better link?

To recap, the question was " Christians, if God commanded you to commit genocide on all atheists and people of other religions, would you do it?"

If you answered "yes" to that question, how would you know it was God commanding you? And indeed, when God issues any kind of command, how do you know it comes from him? Because, it could be anything, really, couldn't it? It could be Satan masquerading as God. It could be a delusional voice in your own mind. Or it could actually be God. So how do you know? Do you ask for ID? And what would you accept as positive identification?

Whenever I see a picture of Jesus, whether its a big painting on a Church or Cathedral wall or window, it always shows jesus with long dark (or light) brown hair that reached his shoulders. But does it not say in the Bible that this is sameful?
Corinthians 11:14 says "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?"

Can someone please explain?

Many of us lose control of our composure when you're with people that provoke us and drive us to do things in the negative way, without thinking that you're already doing so.

If we went through a list of every god imagined by humans and gave reasons why we dismissed them, when we got to yours, these reasons would, presumably, not apply.

Why is this?

I reject as too restrictive the implications Design => Intention => Mind of an advanced life form. I replace them by Design => Direction => laws (which act everywhere in human beings and elsewhere). So, the laws of nature without a personal God or an individual mind can account for the intelligent design behind the universe.

By "personal God", I mean a God that someone (such as Jesus) can know personally. I like the term "Intelligent design", even without the notion of a personal God, because it says that the laws of nature have a direction. Things progress, the genome became more and more complex, etc. I believe in a personal God, but I don't think that this aspect of the laws of nature is needed to explain the creation of the universe and evolution.

The personal God is an aspect of the laws of nature that is only needed to explain our personal experience, usually an inner experience, unless of course you met that personal God externally, say, in some coffee shop.

That is almost as crazy as Scientology. According to them God is a huge space sex addict and that is what we all strive to be. Oh and black people are wrong apparently.

You may want to look at John 14:6, 1 Tim3:15, Matt 18:15-17 and (Acts 15:28-29 with Acts 16:4) and see which church actually applies this ideology and methodology.

I've been following the path for a few years now but just thought about something since Samhain is coming. OK many paths believe in reincarnation, which would mean that our life force, chi, soul (whatever we choose to call it) is brought back to earth in another vessel.... but on Samhain it's believed-at least in the old days-that the veil is thin, and is the time to "visit" those who've passed.. which would mean spirits/souls are just there in the other world. It would be a contradiction to follow/believe both of those stories???? Or am I missing some pieces in there?

A Christian asks for advice and the response he gets is don't listen to Christians. Not to mention that the person chosen as the best answer used profanity, which goes against community guidelines. This makes no sense to me, but then a Christian has to know that when he or she needs advice, it's best to turn to another christian and preferably a minister. My question is in reference to the following question and advice: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AqcXJKPM06Kk03v7csbrCTTty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20070924185707AAo1NUc&show=7#profile-info-JS9MJYf0aa
