peoples sexual conduct? "THE DEVIL HAS TAKEN IT AND DISTORTED IT (MARRIAGE COVENANT) TO SEXUAL IMMORALITY,GAY MARRIAGES,HIS MOTTO IS IF IT FEELS GOOD DO IT" bad sexual conduct started with Adam and eve and went from there. look how many wives men had in Biblical times, there was nothing wrong with it at all. God blessed many of them. people want to act like it the devils fault, like its just been since the 70's we have had bad sexual conduct, why cant you see its not just today its been forever, its the church who decided it was bad?

Not that you use it that often, but which Bible version do you officially claim? I have noticed for every argument, you use a version to fit your needs. So which is it?

I use King James Version of 1611. And it is not JUST another translation, it is a different manuscript then all of the other Bibles.

There are always people claiming to be the Messiah, and they usually get brushed off as crazy people or liars. Isn't there a chance that out of all of these people, one of them was really the Messiah and you brushed him off? I have been wondering this for a while.

For the Christians who take the Bible literally and actually believe they are drinking the blood of Christ and eating the body of Christ during communion, how is this not cannibalism? I could understand for those who believe it is used in a figurative sense...Someone explain this to me..because it would seem to me that eating human flesh and drinking blood are cannibalistic.

Okay! The big question: In the Bibical sense, sex was created by God - to reproduce, and it also has a benifit of being pleasurable. Now, I have read the Bible quite a bit, yet I have never stummbled across the scripture forbidding sex outside of marriage, infact David (the one who is a man after God's own heart) had many wives, and it was only a sin until he had sex with someone else's wife, and Jesus does point that this is audltry and immoral - the 10 Commandments only say to not have adultry, and throughout the Bible it says to not commit sexually immoral things - the list of which is: Homosexuality, audltry, animals, angels, and such. But never does it say outside of marriage from two who love each other, and wish to show their love (and it is not out of pure lust), so my question is, is this just the Church's way of pushing absence and births outside of marriage? Or is there really a verse, because I fail to find it, or the logic behind it, if it is in the right context.

Prominent Creation Scientist Em Adjineri has recently been studying the abundance of Vile Temptresses on Yahoo! Answers. She has discovered that they conclusively disprove evolution.

We have VTs now, but in the Bible women whom men couldn't resist were called "harlots." It is obvious that if evolution is true today's VTs should have a direct lineage to the harlots of the past.

However, there has never been a half-VT half-harlot transitional fossil ever found! Additionally, there has never been a temptress fossil found that is only partially vile. They are either vile or not vile. This proves that "vileness" is irreducibly complex.

Therefore, Vile Temptresses could not possibly have evolved. So evolution must be false! If evolution is false, then creationism is true and should be taught in University biology classes.

Our representatives in Congress hold the power to determine how our tax dollars are spent. But what happens when a Senator attempts to fund a project that is unconstitutional?

An earmark was recently added to the Senate Fiscal Year 2008 Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriation Bill's Committee Report that would put $100,000 of federal funding directly in the hands of the Louisiana Family Forum, an organization that has a history of aggressively sponsoring the teaching of creationism and other theories that debate evolution in schools. The funding is for a project that would allow this group to "to develop a plan to promote better science education," but this group would surely use these funds to undermine the teaching of real science.

The page above talks about a book, "UnChristian: What A New Generation Really Thinks About Christianity," being published by Barna Group based in Cali. It says that Christians and Non-Christians agree that Christianity is anti-gay and judgmental. Most of the Non-Christians, and less than half of the Christians called Christianity hypocritical.

Read the story, then come back and tell me what you think?

God created the universe. He put laws in it and stuff. Im guessing the chrisitan religion agrees with me on this. Right?

So if god were to break these laws, to create a miracle, wouldnt it be cutting into our free will? That would just go to show that our free will doesnt exist because god could take it away at any time.

lets say you wanna kill someone. That is your will. Your about to murder this person within the laws of the universe, and suddenly god breaks them to save this life. He just took your damn free will.

I know im not being very clear on this, and that wasnt a good example. But do you know what i mean? God sets up this place with all these natural laws and says you can do anything within these laws (like physics) but then at anytime he can just throw these laws away...

How can i get rid of someone whos always trying to throw their religion on me or just change the direction of the conversation away from religion? Religious people, why do you try to spead/force your religion? (thats a serious question) Im not religious and dont wish to be. Theres something very shifty and phoney about it, and gives me a weird feeling. He even wrote down a religious site for me to visit but i just threw it away. And this isn't a friend of mine, just a peer in class & when they ask if i belive in god or if i know how to get into heaven it creeps me out. Religious people, what are your motives? your creeping me out

I know your bible tells you to go forth and spread the word and all that, but guess what? EVERYBODY on planet Earth (save a few remote, isolated African or South American tribes) knows about Christianity!
So you did it, you spread the word. Mission accomplished. Hear ya loud and clear.
So what part of this sentence do you not understand? "I heard about Christianity. I learned about it. Then I made my own decision that does not favor Christianity. Go away please. I am not interested."
So that's not good enough for you? You feel the need to force your religion into public schools, government and my life? I don't believe the way you do, so you're going to FORCE me to?
Why can't Christians say: "I did my part, I spread the word. Some said yes, some said no, and now I'm just going to be happy with my beliefs and leave everyone else alone."

I simply do not recal the bible ever saying: "Go forth and spread the word of God. And if they don't listen to you, go to war and force them!"

I am just curious. Do you contemplate about it a little then explain with great care, or do you get upset and impatient that a person would ask, or just your reaction in general is fine.
