Why didn't God stick his Knowledge of Mass Disruption into a Walnut? Then Eve would have broken her teeth eating it, but at least she wouldn't be homeless.

The only way I think it would be better is that there would be no more wars between Christians and Jews ... and Christians and Muslims... and Muslims and Jews (for that matter, since neither would exist)

My daughter wanted me to ask: If Hell is down, and Heaven is up....then why do we bow our heads down towards the Devil to pray? I told her that "bowing" our heads, is a good thing, like bowing down and praising God. What do you think about this?

Are they too afraid? Are their critical thinking skills too poor? Is their knowledge of science too poor? Is it some combination of these things?

Just curious whether most atheists are reacting against a religious upbringing or were never exposed to a religious faith.

Isn't it interesting that...........you do not believe in God, yet...you believe in my imprecatory prayers....

Come on Christians, pray for God's cursing be upon them......turn the table as Christ did twice upon those wicked men who defile the Temple......................

2Th 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
2Th 2:11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
2Th 2:12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

May God curse you all atheists and evolutionists. But then, since you do not believe in God, surely you would not believe in my invoking such a prayer?? Aha, secretly deep down in the labyrinth of that deprave heart, there is a stirring..............

There was this little cartoon that showed this guy wearing a sign, that said "The End Is Near," and than another dude was telling him to "Stop giving us false hope." What are your thoughts on this? Do you agree or disagree? Rationalize it for your own benefit more than mine. Personally I think it made a point.

It seems like ALL humanity does nowadays is spend money, work, have agendas, bicker with each other, spend their whole lives pursuing material things, sex, being conniving, lying, backstabbing, annoying, negative to a degree, lost (meaning they're not working towards any noble or God's will, but rather their own), and most importantly without God?

Now, even if you don't BELIEVE in God, which is VERY easy in this world, believe me lol, I know, you have to admit that humanity is going about life wrong. Yes this is a generalization, and yes there are some awesome people out there, but in large, the majority is flawed, the system is flawed, the way we go about this life is flawed, and we've generally managed to somehow screw this life up.

Is it just me who sees this? I mean, I really hope I get some answers which agree with what I'm saying, because I just don't see how anyone over the age of lets say 26, where I am now, and with a brain who went through SOME life experience cant see.

Do you believe that the designer was perfect?Do you believe that we were originally designed with pheromone systems for a reason that we don't need anymore?Couldn't the design have been better;such as putting chloroplasts in our skin for us to eat and sunbathe at the same time?
Basically why would intelligent design come up with such an imperfect product?

I'm focusing on Christianity mainly because it is my faith...

In my studying of the bible, prayer, and just experience in general I've come to the conclusion that without faith belief based on an old book with stories written over a period of a few thousand years just won't come.

There are no works by verifiable witnesses who saw Jesus with their own eyes. Jesus didn't write anything himself that is verifiable. Theology and doctrine are open to interpretation. Judaism rejects Jesus as the Messiah.

Paul never seen Jesus and was converted by a "vision."

The Torah is not without its problems.

Some scholars claim Yahweh was a Volcano god.

Some believe Judaism evolved from other, older, regional religions.

The events in the bible are not always scientific fact.

Any evidence is based on the belief of the faithful to view it as evidence such as answered prayers etc.

God is not visible. God is not audible. He cannot be sensed by our physical senses.

This past Saturday I was told that there was a kitten outside my office that was alone and had a broken leg. Immediately, I drove up to the office and got it. When I got there, some of the workers had left some french fries next to her and she was trying to crawl her way over to eat them but she was dragging her back legs. I picked her up, put her in my coat, and took her to my house and got a cat carrier and a bowl of water and kitten food. She ate and drank very well so I thought this was a sign she was okay.

I took her up to Petsmart to see if the cat adoption lady would take her in and care for her because I knew I couldn't afford it. The adoption lady couldn't take her so I took her to an emergency vet. On the way to the vet the kitten stood up on all fours so I thought this was another good sign that she would be okay. Her stomach was swolen but I thought maybe this was from lack of food.

(More details to come...)

Some basic overview of its history and tenets?

I was recently told (by a buddhist) that what I do know about it is wrong, so I'd like to mitigate my ignorance if possible. ;)

Thx in advance for any good suggestions.

I am the 2nd Vice Commander in our squadron and we patrol the streets and bars looking for perverse acts such as lust, blasphemy, drunkenness and slovenliness. If we find these people, we usually just write them a warning and tell them to go home. They can get it off their record if they show up at the Church on Sunday and ask forgiveness. Otherwise, it will go on their permanent record.

Not a buddhist myself, but very much like the philosophy in my life and the serenity that it brings. I was raised protistant nd my wife is Jewish. The only thing Ican think of is that all the turmoil in my life may be coming to an end and a calm is about to come.

I came to a website www.evilbible.com,that points out conflicting teachings of God,that I didn't know of.Hateing your own family if they question anything God says.To slaughter non believers or over land.Slaves being in complete submission, to never question masters.To beat your children.He said he will make you eat the flesh of your children if he isn't obeyed.I compared the versus with biblegateway.com because I didn't believe it was in my Bible.I thought the scripture was manipulated about what God has said and done.I was unaware of all the hatred, killing, suffering promised & done to those who question.If your religion teaches love&good,what about everything else in the bible?It is1 book.Either it is all of Gods word or none.Is this what religion is?Just what one wants to support?Every evil is ok when God says.Submission from fear of God isn't freewill.Now I know what the fear of God means.Explain what God has done & ordered others to do,yet commands,Thou shall not kill?
