...any reason for us to give up rational and critical thought? Or is it just evidence that the afterlife was WILLED into belief by fearful people for thousands of years?

Yes, I know...for the believer, faith is believing something without hard evidence to back it up...as in the Christian's belief in God.
The answers I saw to this question frightened me.
Since when is it a bad thing to have faith in God?
So, people of faith, to you, are just stupid?
And...despicable?? What's with that??

Not only here, but in real life too. Even jewish people who DO NOT encourage converting to their religion, even they try to point you why their religion is the greatest.

What does one have to earn for doing this? (except for christians, cause their religion states they must spread the word)

So I know the debate of divinely written or divinely inspired but accepting that God spoke though the original scribes, how can you be sure that he was speaking through the various people who have translated the texts form its ancient Aramaic?

Why do people think that being gay or abortion is a bigger deal than, say, judging people or not helping your neighbors or being covetous and greedy?

Most religions believe that in the time of our direst need a supernaturaly empowered saviour will come to our aid.
Some native americans believe in the rainbow warrior, many europeans awaited the returned reign of king Arthur, the christians await the second coming, the jews the messiah, the sunni believe in the mahdi and the shia in the hidden imam, some buddhists even believe a great buddha will reincarnate and the hindu believe the Creator will at one time visit us in a human body again.

Will the Creator chose to satsify each of these groups seperately or will He provide us with one physical manifestation which will satisfy all?

You Christians think Adam and Eve were sinless until they ate the fruit. So therefore it wasn't a sin to eat the fruit. Instead it was simply disobeying God.

So, what's the difference between sin and disobeying God? If they are the same, then what does it mean to say Adam and Eve were sinless until after they ate the fruit when it was a sin to eat it. They sinned in their sinless period.

If they are different, then you can disobey God without sinning. Which commands are you allowed to disobey without committing sin? How would I go about doing that now?

It is very interesting that there was only one question on this subject, on R & S ,when it is in the headlines everywhere else.
I personally believe that this was a hate crime and the "church" should be closed down. (I know that is not possible). Hate, prejudice, bigotry was only part of what this family suffered because of the horrible actions, of the members of this congregation.

Democratic?

"Phelps has run in various Kansas Democratic Party primaries five times, but has never won. These included races for governor in 1990, 1994, and 1998, receiving about 15% of the vote in 1998. In the 1992 Democratic Party primary for U.S. Senate, Phelps received 31% of the vote Phelps ran for mayor of Topeka in 1993 and 1997."

Bibically and historically, true worship has consistently been liturgical. "Spontaneous: worship in an innovation of the last century or so. Liturgical worship, written prayers (the Psalms), and feasts days were the norm throughout the history of Israel (see Ex. 23:14-19; 241, 2). The worship of heaven is liturgical (Is. 6:1-9; Heb. 8:1-3; Rev. 4). The foundations of liturgical worship in the Church are apparent in the New Testament. The most oft-repeated prayer of the Church is there (Matt. 6:9-13). The words we say at baptism are there(Matt 28:19). The words spoken at Holy Communion are there, with Saint Paul repeating Jesus' words(1 Cor. 11:23-26). Further, the believers in Acts 13:2 about A.D. 49, were seen in a liturgical service to the Lord: "As they ministered[Greek: leitourgouation, the root word for "liturgy"] to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said..." Note,too, in this passage that the Holy Spirit speeks to us during liturgical worship.

I was Mormon my whole life, but just recently decided to officially leave the Mormon church. I sent a letter requesting my name be removed from the records. I stated in the letter that the only contact I wanted from the church was a letter stating it had been done. They then sent me a letter stating my "local leaders" had to handle it. And yesterday the bishop showed up at my house unannounced, and uninvited. I refused to talk to him, so my wife (who is still active) told him I wouldn't talk to him. He harrassed her for a second, and then demanded my temple recommend. After he left I called the police and had them issue him a tresspass warning basically stating that if he came back to my house to contact me, he would be arrested for tresspassing. He is however, allowed to come by to visit my wife if she wishes, but he must call first. Did I go too far in getting the law involved?
