No repeats, there's a lot of stuff God messed up on!!

I'll start it off with a few:
1. We breathe, eat and talk out of the same hole. Choke alert!
2. Most planets are inhabitable!
3. Animals have many genetic disorders. We can get sickle cell amenia and there are many kinds of birth defects!

What would you say if a six year-old asked you what God was?

What would you say if a fifteen year-old asked you what your religious beliefs were, and why?

...people can have multiple personalities, lose their memory, etc? These things make SENSE if you assume that the brain is all there is, but if we're really the soul then these things shouldn't be able to happen. How can one soul have multiple personalities? How can a soul lose its memory? (I'm not saying that religious folks think the brain just sits there, but they do believe that the survival of the brain is not necessary for the person's personality to live on after death...)

Aw, they're always doing clubby little posts, so why not us? Anyway: Religious folks seem to assume that without religion, people will run amok and be devoid of values. Neglecting the fact that this insinuates that only fear of godly retribution keeps them in line - what is it that you think causes and shapes our atheistic sense of morality?

are either apostates or disfellowshipped without the sincerity of returning to the organization? I've been observing for months now questions that are posted from "Unsilenced Lamb", "Carol D", "Sinister Minister ?", Pedi C....and a few more for JWs. I'm not a Witness (yet) myself but i know these people are just out there to either annoy you to the limit and bad-mouthing all JWs (stereotyping ya'all). Why do you fall into their trap? Why do you answer and defend your fatith when you know they don't really care for your answers? I understand you need to defend for others sake who may see the questions & are curious themselves but again, isn't answering them is the same as "talking to them?" when you're not supposed to? U guys are in a very tough situation. I hate to see you JWs fall into the trap of the "bird catcher." Personally, I not being a JW get very angry when i see these people continue to put you and your beliefs down. Hope your God Jehovah shuts the mouths of these people soon

I know it's real. Do you [at]tend a pumpkin patch every Sunday? If you (and your pumpkin patch) are the most sincere about your faith in it, it will come and bring you blessings. Pumpkins are proof that the Great Pumpkin is real! Just because he doesn't show up doesn't mean it's not real, it just means that you didn't have enough sincere faith that it's real and you should try again next year.

What if, your mother had been a missionary child of Messianic Jewish parents but was now a Buddhist and your father also had been a missionary child of Christian parents and was still a Christian.
When you'd ask either parent things like :
" What is God? Where is God? Who is God? What's the right faith? What should I believe? What's the truth? etc "
They'd simply tell you that you must find that out for yourself.

And what if, from the time you were born you'd been taught about the major world religions, atheism, agnosticism and it had been made clear to you that there were many other forms of beliefs and non, and you were highly encouraged to find out all about them.
What if you'd also been to many countries, were highly cultured and had from the time you were a toddler been going with ( mainly ) your mother to the many places of worship that there are, i.e. to a Gurdwara, and you'd take your shoes off and you'd completely cover your head, Synagogue, your grandparents faith, Dar be-mehr, and you'd offer sweet smelling dry wood to the priests, Masjid to visit, Buddhist temple to chat with your mother, Church with your father,
Jinja with special permission, Mandir to try and get a connection with the gods, etc, etc.
At night your father would read to you from the Bible and
your mother would pray a Buddhist prayer with you.

When you got older, what do you think your personal religious beliefs, if any, would be?

One of my friends was brought up in a Christian home, she met a Jehovah Witness
but wasn't sure what he was at that time.
He asked her to marry him and she did in her own Christain Church, but later he got her to attend his Kingdom Hall. He has passed away now, and she has lost all her old friends. Now she is sad and lonely and I think Jesus was right when he said be ye not enequally yoked.

Many may make the argument that Islam is an understanding, peaceful religion, but if one were to literally read the Koran for what it says they would find a much different meaning. The Koran is filled with verses speaking of war against the unbelievers. In 9:73, the Koran states, “Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home.” In 47:4, it states, “When you meet the unbelievers in the battlefield, strike off their heads and when you have laid them low, take their captives firmly.” In 4:76, it states, “Those who believe fight in the cause of Allah, and those who reject faith fight in the cause of evil so fight ye against the friends of Satan.” In 9:5, it states, “Then when the sacred months have passed, slay the idolaters wherever ye find them and take them captive, and besiege them, and prepare for them each ambush.” Clearly, verses like this are going to prevent many fundamentalist Muslims from accepting rule from a Wes

When I look at any object made or created by man I will normally be able to find a brand prescribed to it.
So why not God's creations?

Helping the poor and the needy are suppose to be Christians primary duty . Than why are we doing such a bad job at it.
According to the world wide sensus there are over 2 billion Christians living in the world.

According to the netaid over 1 billion people live below poverty line.
Suppose if 1 christian put aside 1 dollar per day that will be 2 billion per day in excess money to help these people. Than why are we doing such a bad bad job in ERADICATING poverty?

Are we lazy? ignorant? don't care? what are the excuses now?

There are several bands that have their music sold at Christian bookstores and played by Christian radio stations. (Hawk Nelson, Switchfoot to name a few) Their lyrics however make no reference to God or Jesus or anything "Christian." So what makes these bands grouped into Christian music?
