I'm atheist.
If I ever go to a court hearing, I can't swear on a Bible.
It's not fair now is it?
haha.

it is known that god is a jealous man and we are to worship no idols made of wood or anything but him. Why do catholics worship saints? if they can do no miracles.

evolution is real, would creationists then admit defeat? or would they still be calling for more missing links?

Is it a fossil fuel or wood burning lake? Because that really is environmentally irresponsible for God to have created that (since God created everything).

If God is omnipotent, then why did He not simply endow himself with a sense of satisfaction rather than create humans who, through purpose of creation, should worship Him? And being omniscient, He of course would have known that many would not heed His call and would thus be cast into hell. Is the stoking of His God complex more important than the anguish of scores of singed heathens?

And if so, what would be the religious ramifications of such a psychological construct? Any thoughtful answer welcomed.

Are Christians bound by the verse "true religion " aids the widows and orphans.(james 1:27) Or would this apply only towards members of the body?

I often listen to the prayers of my church. It seem all to frequent that I will hear them ask for blessings from above when those blessings could just as well be given from right hear.

For instance:
Praying for peace and giving in to road rage.
Kind of silly that we pray to God for peace and we hate every one on the road.

Praying for God to control our life and then sitting on our duff in front of the idiot box all weekend instead of reading the bible and allowing the scriptures to influence us so we can make Godly choices.

And three: praying for our children and then buying them games like
Grand Theft Auto
Bully
Any first person shooter

I am not perfect either, but I don't pray to God for something I am not really trying to get and it just makes me laught to see some people doing that...

Just my thoughts.

Then how could Jesus walk the earth?
How could Jesus, having been made sin for us, with all sin imputed to him, live in eternity with God the Father?

Since many of us have engaged in very serious or silly or controversial banter on R&S, is it liberating to show your face or does it make you feel vulnerable? Do people look the way you thought they might given what they claim to be i.e. atheist, Catholic, Buddhist, Pagan, Muslim etc. or did you imagine something entirely different? Do you think biases about religion effect the way you think someone might look once you actually see the real human? Thank you and namaste!

Explain if you can why you believe your truth. I understand there will be babes in faith that arent yet able to articulat their belief yet. Feelings dont count, they can be corrupted.

Acts 24:15 - "and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous."

And this other scripture - John 5:29 - "and come out, those who did good things to a resurrection of life, those who practiced vile things to a resurrection of judgment."

If the dead people have already been sent to hell, haven't they already been judged and found guilty? Why would they have to be judged again? And if they are found lacking again do they have to go back to hell? And where are they reserrected to - Earth? Heaven?

Generally speaking, would you trust a religious (pope, caliph etc) figure or a scientist?

Whatever question you have can pertain to anything.

Do you think it is a good idea to always be protected from criticism or honest character analysis?

Let me explain. A white person is naturally fearful to say anything evaluating about a minority yest he be, accused of being a racist. People are afraid to say anything to a veteran, they too maybe accused of being unpatriotic. This is also true for homosexuals as well.

Even though civil rights laws and political correctness was a necessary thing, hasn't it got a bit out of hand. How can you be sure how people view you, if they have to tiptoe around you all the time. I personally don't want people to be afraid to ask me a question. If I am doing something the wrong way or am being insensitive, I want people to tell me. I don't want them to not tell out of fear that I might think they are being racist or a bigot.

Should minorites and others be free from criticism? If so why? If not, then why not?
