being the many believers feel that an unborn fetus is a human being, how come they don't pay it the same respect as they would a baby who dies prematurely or any other person for that matter? don't they deserve a funeral like everyone else?

Jesus had to be born in the line of David according to 2 Samuel 7:12-13 and The lineage of Jesus is recorded in two places: Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38. Both which infer Joseph as his father in the flesh. Yet we are lead to believe God impregnated Mary not Joseph. I have heard it said that the line passes through Mary but thats not what the Bible states. Is it truth or fiction?

*Sigh* The Nolte wonders what So-crates is doing right now. Brushing his gold teeth, maybe? Pining away for me?

The Nolte's soul aches.

that the Jesus who was so compelled by his love for you to lay his life on the cross, would also love you enough to hear your prayers and answer you? Do you believe that Mary has more compassion for your needs? Who could love you more then he who gave his life for you.

Like the karma of the British is to have our culture destroyed by a wave of immigrants due to our meddling ways in the days of empire?

I say yes! Why? Because then there would be more scientific progress instead of repression of stem cell research, lack of proper birth control, and scientific facts solving our problems instead of voodoo and Evangelists' prayers! And there would be no more wars started on Bush's religious belief!

I believe in God and all but sometimes I can't help but to thik what if.... What if there is no God and we are all alone?
I've tried to push these thoughts out of my head but they are always in the back of my mind.
Another thing a little over one year ago my Aunt was 8 months pregnant but something happened and the baby died. Did he go to Hevean? Even though he wasn't born?

In theory, there is no God simply because God is simply an idea created by humans, there is no real evidence whatsoever of any greater being. If your going to answer, please make it something that will actually matter, not a jumbled mess of misspelled words and insults. I'm sure I could be influenced into believing, but I always get stuck at the fact that the idea of God is just like a way for people to cope with their problems. I would like to believe and be a good Christian, I just can't though. It seems to me that when we die, all that happens is that we stop being there and our brains die, because our brains are the only thing saying a God really does exist. Even just telling me some super amazing mircle could push me over the fence.

We all laugh about how idiotic and hateful they are, but how would you react if someone was really passing out such "literature" to your children?

a Christian friend of mine said "we are all brothers and sisters in christ" so if that is true... aren't all who engage in sex committing incest? OR does it mean that Christians are only supposed to have sex with non-believers since then they wouldn't be related "in Christ"?

and since this is a non-serious question, I expect only NON-serious answers please. Seriously.

When someone speaks of "God", what are the characteristics that come to mind. Note: you believe there is no such thing as God, but that concept can still have characteristics (i.e. I don't believe in vampires, which are blood-sucking, immortal, afraid of the dark). Please respond with 5 one-word characteristics. For posterity, please only answer if you are an atheist.

Even though King David commited adultry and had an innocent man killed I think Christians believe that he is in heaven right now. We must believe this because even after his various sins we are told how righteous he was in the yes of GOd. David did not need Jesus to take away his sins, he prayed to God and with a repentant heart begged for God to forgive him. Why do we need Jesus to wash away our sins when this job was allready being done by God?

IF given the choice, which one would be the moe acceptable evil? I only say evil because as far as the catholic faith is concerned, they're both evil. Masturbation or pre-marital sex? I don't quite see y masturbation is wrong. Not because of the psychological need or anything, but see, God gives u urges, and yes, he gives u prayer as a way out...but what if that doesn't work? Isn't helping urself better than having someone else help u outside the bonds of marriage? I mean, ur not hurting anyone by doing 'it" urself, so what's the harm? Y's sex a sin anyway? God gave it to us to use responsibly, but even within the bonds of marriage, it's still taboo to speak of it at all. WTF?!

I know this is a strange one!
I am not religious. I can't seem to get my head round the fact that there are so many religions, all with their own ideas of how to live, and what happens when we die. Surely, as human beings, we will all have the same experience of death, regardless of religion, and which god or various gods we worship whilst alive. Christianity for instance, is only just over 2000 years old, and people were living and dying well before that. Although I can't pin myself down to believe all aspects of one particular religion, I also have trouble with the notion that there's no life after death, as I just can't imagine us not having a soul, and something happening when we die. Any (sensible!) comments on the subject would be most helpful, as this is a subject that sometimes really bothers me, and any reassurance would be most comforting!

I think it is. Some people claim that science and God is seperate. But the claim that God created everything is implying that he set all of the natural process in the Universe in motion. I`m not saying that God is scientific or can be proven or disprove by science. Just that the cliam that he created everything is scienfitic, to be subjected to scientific scrutiny.
