if god doesn't listen to you pray for your loved on, why will he listen to random cartoon heads on YA who don't even know your loved one?

According to the God Delusion or a small part of it. Morality has an evolutionary explanation Altruistic genes selected through evolution give rise to natural feeling of empathy. Ok if our genes determine whether or not we help people or not as well as other things about us. Do we still have free will?

And if you look at the psychological arguments of nature vs nuture both of these two are out of our control yet they will definitely play key roles in shaping who we are. So do we have complete free will or moderate amounts of free will or is free will just illusion?

Does it not seem rather silly to you that someone can hate something they don't believe in?

if a Christian means the person who believes in Jesus Christ and follows him then i am more Christian then the Christians themselves. he asks you not to eat swine. you do eat. how many of you answering me are unmarried and are virgins? who is following him? what is the percentage of drunkards in the Christians world. what is the percentage of rapists and murderers? surely a lot more then country.

For my college freshman science course, we were supposed to do a science project that demonstrated the scientific method.
I used mine to prove the power of prayer. I had two sets of lima bean plants. The first set I prayed for every day and every night, and set them out in the sunlight of God. In order to safeguard the results from any sort of bias, the second set was my control group. I did not pray for them, and kept them 'in the closet', in the dark of sin. The plants I prayed for turned out much greener and healthier, which confirmed my hypothesis.

My professor gave me a D on this, and asked me to turn another project in for a better grade. How is this fair? Isn't it discriminatory and biased to disregard results that don't coincide with your own personal beliefs?

Everyone look up what the qualifications are to REMAIN a Hitler Youth before you answer. Our pope was in Hitlers Youth until the END of the war. Many Germans have stated they fled or refused to be a part, in which case they were exiled. Our Pope did not resist and remained. Furthermore, he was part of an elite group of radicals. His Uncle was a Nazi elite. His uncles favorite nephew was our current Pope. If you cannot be objective for either side, do not answer. I think the facts will speak for themselves in this case. If you are a true believer, you will NOT try to hide truth. Many would agree that this man accepting the position of Pope, knowing the damage it would do to the catholic faith, shows his interests are self serving. Not a very noble act from a man that is crowned nobility. There is no question that he should ABDICATE his position, however, my question is about the Pope being a Nazi. You should hear what some of the locals think of him, the locals that fled to France.

Bill Donahue of the Catholic League is calling for all Catholics to boycott the new film "The Golden Compass" on the grounds that it promotes athiesm and potrays the Roman Catholic Church as "Evil." Donahue admits to not having seen the film but hates it anyway.

Meanwhile, the Church's Council of American Bishops has given the film a thumbs up, calling it "intelligent and well-crafted."

So, is this guy for real? Or is it another "The Purple Teletubby is gay" thing intended to make the Leaugue appear relevant enough to give money to.

i believe It is wrong for anyone to close their eyes to what is right in front of them. For a Muslim the evidence of dinosaurs and fossils is not a threat to our beliefs. Rather, it is a confirmation of the power of Allah.

Evolutionists predicted that a 4.5 billion year old moon would have lunar dust 50 feet deep--but when Neil Armstrong stepped down, he stepped on solid ground. Wrong again!!

OK I asked a question about the Golden Compass..
A lot of responses were very good but I got a few from what I can guess is fundies.. about how they will not support a non Christian movie. Also how that if you are not for god you are against god and they will not give money to that.

Do you folks who think that have any idea how silly you are?
Do you buy gas? Most of the world’s oil (if not all)comes from NON Christian nations. Do you buy goods only at Christian stores?
Do you only wear Christian clothes?
Oh yes there are places you can buy Christian computers.. made in China.

I am a Christian and it is by my good works and my good deeds my faith is shown not buy what things I buy.

Do you really think that you can live in a total Christian world?
Christ said we are in the world but not of it. So the things of this world will not affect us it is what is in our hearts that matters

If atheist are so Gung Ho against Christianity. Why do they celebrate Christmas ?True meaning of Christmas is Christ!! God's gift to us! That is why we celebrate and give gifts to others. Do atheist not celebrate with presents for their KIDS and FAMILY? Do they like stay at home and have a "every other day kinda day " when the Christians that celebrate Chistmas enjoy watching their kids open presents and tell of the Baby Jesus stories? If atheist are so against Christianity...Do they enjoy the christmas breaks at work ? Also Easter, when Christians believe Jesus died and was ressurrected. Do atheist enjoy the Easter (Now known as Spring Break and trying to turn Christmas into Winter Break ..Santa didnt work nor the Easter Bunny So that is why the seasonal change name IMO ) BUT! our holidays really come from the christian belief! Why dont atheist stay at the job working and let only the Christians have these Holidays? Since Atheist do not believe in such holidays ?

Is it because of John 2:4: Jesus says to her, What have I to do with thee, woman? mine hour has not yet come.

Seems to me that ain't no way to treat a lady.
