I advised them about things being taken out of content, and invited them to read the Song of Solomon if they had not done so. I also would have asked them had thy never heard of inheritence,because of course the innocent babe had not sinned, but had inherited original sin from his original ancestors in a spiritual manner. Do you think the bible teaches
everyone to abstain from sex or lust, outside of marriage? Fortification is a sin last time I heard.

If religion is all imaginary as you claim, why does the natural instinct of attacking a threat kick in? Are you afraid deep down that you are wrong and will pay a price for your disbelief?

Some Christians say that other religions worship false gods and I would like to know how you distinguish a TRUE god from a FALSE god.

Did you know that the Hail Mary prayer is totally Bible based"
"Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.
Blessed are thou among women, and blessed id the fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary, mother of God,
pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen"

Lets break it down:
1) Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee (direct quote from scripture: Luke 1:28)
2) Blessed are thou among women, and blessed id the fruit of thy womb, Jesus (direct quote from scripture: Luke 1:42)
3) Holy Mary, mother of God (Christ is God incarnete, and since Mary bore God in her womb she is rightly called the Mother of God: "Theotokos", or "God-bearer". Remeber what Elizabeth said: "And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?" Luke 1:43)

Was it just a lucky find, or were the scientists digging where they were for a reason? Where should we dig for a fossil that would support Creationism? If it is as science as its proponents say, there should be a testable prediction.

Here is my previous quesion, most atheist that responded agreed that there is a remote possibility that God does exist.

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AhoZFQ2QVCDpiRLOf__WMiPsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071116135452AA29NQy

So now my question is, if you admit that there is the possibility. Then why do you think others are stupid and/or illogical if they place more value on the same possibility that you are admitting to?

In Asia, it is believed that eating shark fin will extend life, cure diseases, make men more Verile and make women more beautiful. Science proved these claims wrong, but people STILL believe. Why?
In Africa, it is believed that eating black rhino horn will extend life, cure diseases, make men more Verile and make women more likely to have boy babies. Science proved these claims wrong, but people STILL believe. Why?
Worldwide, Christians believe that the bible is the word of god. But now numerous books (Misquoting Jesus is one) prove that the bible is vastly falsified and made up by translators and scribes. But Christians still believe it. Why?

You say its because its the word of god, but written by man. So what parts do you follow and what parts do you ignore? Why? You say its the word of god, but most of it can be ignored (Old Testament)?

Why would you base your beliefs, your life, your heart and soul on something that has been vastly falsified? Desperation? Innate need?

And please, tell me what religious beliefs you have. I'm doing a paper for school on how religion might be related to pet ownership.

1) You believe in a god that does not exist. You interpret positive events/feelings as rewards/boons from this non-existent god and negative events/feelings as punishments from this non-existent god (or his antipode).
2) You believe in a god that does exist and who takes an active role in rewarding prayer/need and punishing bad behavior.

Imagine yourself in both positions. From this perspective, could you tell the difference?

About 94% of Americans (more or less) believe in some sort of God or deity. Now, they may not all be of the same religion, and they may be very diverse, but when was the last time we have gotten 94% of the population to agree on anything?

Since so many are believers, it seems like people have an innate need and desire to have a higher being in their lives. What does that tell you?

Oh, and I'm an agnostic.

Catholics, you all know that Jesus the Good Shepherd left us an earthly shepherd, Peter and the popes, when He told Peter: "..feed my lambs.. ..feed my sheep" (John 21:15-17).

But, did you know that your earthly shepherd sends you letters? That's right: YOU'VE GOT MAIL !! Have you been reading your mail?

No? Well, a letter from the pope to you is called an "encylical". For example, here is one of the latest letters the pope wrote to you. called "Deus Caritas Est" (On Christian Love - God is Love) :
http://www.vatican.va/holy_father/benedict_xvi/encyclicals/documents/hf_ben-xvi_enc_20051225_deus-caritas-est_en.html

One of my favorites by John Paul II is "Redemptor Hominus" (Redeemer of Man):

So, brothers and sisters, isn't it time to check your mail box?

does being open-minded mean you should keep asking the same question over and over again? i keep seeing these questions asking how open-minded atheists are. atheists are people just like everyone else. some lie, some are honest. some are greedy, some give all they can. is the sole basis for someone being open-minded whether or not they accept the existence of a god as being fact? there's a difference between looking at the different aspects of religion and making a decision, and just blindly making a decision. and just as there are christians who do one or the other, there are atheists as well who do one or the other. i'm sure there are many atheist who just accept there is no god, just as there are many christian who accept there is a god, without question. however, if you were to ask an atheist who hasn't considered the possibility of a god, i doubt you'd get as many close-minded responses as you would from christians who haven't considered the possibility of no god.
