according to evolution we all originated from the same ancestor does that then mean we are all cannibals and murderers when ever we eat or kill an animal?

I don't want my doubts to interfere with them. Should I wait and let them decide when they are ready or go ahead and let them go to religion school.

Should the negative be proven, that there is no higher power...or does it have to be the positive, that there is a higher power?

Of course, it is impossible to prove a negative. So really, could the 'prove there is no god' questions cease? Cause it's just not possible...you know? *sigh*

You can't prove something doesn't exist, you have to prove it does. Ya know?

Just thinking.

I need some verses that relate to jealousy.
My idea is to put a bunch of nice things in a paper pag and a bunch of garbage in a nice gift wrapped box, then make the children chose which one they would prefer.

The lesson is to show that just because the outside is weathered and in expensive doesn't mean the there is nothing to offer inside. Also that just because the nice box had a pretty outside doesn't mean that it's not empty except for garbage.


We are experiencing a lot of issues with our girls bragging about their "things" and trying to make "poor" looking girls jealous.
What can I use to back this up from scripture.

ok, first off i would like to point out that i am serious this time, i know i've asked a few stupid questions about god...

but really, im not religous, but opparintly being gay is a sin. so my question is why am i gay, if people arent suppost to be gay. and have prayed (although i dont know how) to ask god to make me straight, i wish i was, but im still gay.... and i dont like it. why has god made me this way? can he make me straight?



and before you ask, i AM gay... i know i am attracted to men, and not woman, there is no quetion about it, i've already attempted suicide over it.

I am not new here, so I am looking for a more detailed description. I see fundie interchanged with Christian alot. I always thought I was a fundie, then I was told by someone I was not.

So, I want everyones take on what a fundie is specifically and how does a fundie differ from a born again Christian, evangelical, Catholic, run of the mill protestant, etc (if there is a difference?) Thanks in advance!

that they were wrong, than atheists being able to accept the fact if there was evidence of a deity(ies)?

When you think about it, particularly christians, some have quoted being terrified to find out there was no god afterall. SO terrified they feel as if they'd lose all direction in life.

Many atheists WANT proof. Most proclaim that they will believe with tangible evidence.

I'm not trying to point fingers, it's merely an observation I have been pondering on for awhile.

Thoughts please!

That if we love the World, then Love for the Father is not in us.
So the World is versus The Father. How do we as believers live in this world and not love certain matters pertaining to this world. What is the way for us to not love the world.

The profession of shaman has many advantages. It offers high status with a safe livelihood free of work in the dreary, sweaty sense. In most societies it offers legal privileges and immunities not granted to other men. But it is hard to see how a man who has been given a mandate from on High to spread tidings of joy to all mankind can be seriously interested in taking up a collection to pay his salary; it causes one to suspect that the shaman is on the moral level of any other man. But it’s lovely work if you can stomach it.

any thoughts-thanks in advance for any answers--smile and enjoy the day

this question makes me laugh because people argue about it so much and which ever side your on you cant budge the other side to change there mind :D
i DO NOT believe in evolution, im not sure how we got here but evolution has NOT been proven and the skull charles darwin placed his theory on was infact a fake (look it up if you dont believe me) even if the skull was real i still wouldnt believe it because it has not been proven. so my first question is
1. do you believe in evolution? and
2. most people believe evolution proves theres no god, why? could evolution be the answer to how and not the answer to why?
3. do you think people who dont believe in evolution are stupid?
thanks for your answers

Deuteronomy 13

1. If there arise among you a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and giveth thee a sign or a wonder,
2. And the sign or the wonder come to pass, whereof he spake unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou hast not known, and let us serve them;
3. Thou shalt not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams: for the LORD your God proveth you, to know whether ye love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
4. Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.
5. And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death; because he hath spoken to turn you away from the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, to thrust thee out of the way which the LORD thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shalt thou put the evil away from the midst of thee.
