Cor1 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law
Cor1 14:35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church

why ?

It's a scientific theory. Why do... oh yeah, because it doesn't go against the Bible. In truth, evolution is even more plausible than gravity, scientifically speaking.

Why don't you put down your myth book and start reading nonfiction? Maybe you'll stop making fools out of yourselves.

Obviously this isn't directed toward Christians who know evolution is the truth (you guys are on the right track).

How can they say that Hitler was an atheist when he has gone on the record making these statements:

"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together" (1941)

"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity." (1941)

"Let it NOT be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things." (1941)

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless." (1941)

"We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State." (1941)

Also, Hitler told Hermann Rauschnig that he inten"to stamp out Christianity root and branch." (1933)

He also said: "One is either a Christian or a German -you cannot be both"

So why do people still say he was an atheist?

i mean seriously

on EVERY SINGLE religious question i see there's always that there are some people who just are trying to prove others wrong and ridicule anyone who has different beliefs

like, what the hell you know?
there are so many topics about atheists and how they're wrong/right
why can't we just say "oh, he/she's whatever, that's cool it's not really any of my business and i should respect him/her"

Why are christians and non christians stuck on the traditional answer rather than the Biblical one?

They keep asking what sin puts someone in hell. Or variations thereof, like why would God send a sinner to hell when we all sin? Or why would a homosexual go to hell?

Can't folks, christians and non christians realize, that no one goes to hell for a sin (well there are some minor exceptions, discussed below), but folks go to hell because they rejected Christ.

The Bible says Jesus died for all sins. Those who don't accept Christ, still have their sins paid for, but haven't aquired the free gift of that wonderful grace.

The only acceptions are these. Jesus said there is 1 unforgivable sin, the blasphemy of the Holy spirit. But that sin, is the rejection of Christ, because the Holy spirit leads folks to Christ.

Also some christians lose their salvation, but unlike those in the OSAS camp, its not as easy as they claim.

Gravity is a force that cannot be seen yet its effects can be observed. If someone were to suddenly claim that gravity does not exist how would he come up with proof to the contrary?

Just as gravity’s existence is sure, so too is the existence of God. The majority of people do not believe in unicorns and leprechauns, however, a majority believes in God. Why shouldn't we equate your arguments to fantasies such as leprechauns and unicorns?

Pro 19:20 Hear counsel, and receive instruction, that thou mayest be wise in thy latter end.
God is telling us: learned to listen and be wise! Not to think you know better than God Himself!

Meaning if we truly believe God's Holy Words, why do we need to do things that is not commanded to us? To show or what?
Besides, Not ourselves that could do to saved ourself, but the Holy Spirit, the grace of God.
So why not rely, depend and trust God? Philippians 2:3; John 15:5.John 3:3; John 3:7.
Obeying God rather than men? Act 5:29 Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.

I think it goes like this:

1 cup of a Bible verse taken COMPLETELY out of context
1/2 cup of liberal rhetoric
1 dash of know it all

Mix together and cook for fifteen minutes. Serves 10 percent of the world's population.

Agree?

Reincarnation is not a fundamental Buddhist belief.

You're thinking of Hinduism. They're quite different.

Some Buddhist sects believe in reincarnation, but many do not. Buddha himself never said one thing about the afterlife one way or the other. He said it wasn't "of the moment." The afterlife isn't terribly important in Buddhism. Because Buddhism began in India, where the predominant religion was (and still is) Hinduism, many Buddhists continued to believe in reincarnation. However, many other sects in places like Japan, have a very atheistic view on the afterlife, and believe when we die, we return to the universe, and everything that makes us "us" ceases to be.

I keep seeing people answer the "What do Buddhists believe in?" questions here with "They believe in reincarnation." I just wanted you all to know that that is not necessarily true. Buddhism is not as rigid as other religions, and in fact, many Buddhists have widely different beliefs.

Sorry for the rant. :)

...is this because you can't grasp the true length of a million years? Do you really think you can stand by and watch evolution happen?

Does this effect your perspective about eternity?
