Explain that double standard to me oh wise vegetarians...................... Death is clearly a part of life; there is no lifeform on earth that does not benefit off of the process of death. Many fungi live off of the flesh off dead carcasses. Animals kill their prey in the wild to survive; do you suggest they go on vegetarian diets? We, as humans, are doing what comes naturally to us.
Also, eating meat greatly expanded the brain size of homosapiens; the added protein gave us extra strength and intelligence. If you look at our teeth, they are clearly omnivorous. Noticed how sharp our back fangs are? Is it not that way for a reason?

You guys aren't even a real religion so why do you flock to a site that is plainly about Religion and Spirituality alone? If it was all about racking up points, wouldn't you just go to some other site? Infact, please go to another site. You guys don't believe in anything even related to religion or spirituality.

We give out awards, after each quarter to the student with the most points.

You get points for attendance, and for bringing your Bible, and for remembering the memory verse we worked on last week. I was given stickers for the students to record their points, and a page for the stickers to be afixed to.

Since I am still quite new at having my own class, this is the first quarter I'll be giving an award for. So I asked this other teacher if the church will give me a prize to award or do I need to buy something.

This other teacher said she does not give the award. Does not believe in rewarding a kid for doing what they're supposed to. She said this in a nasty, no nonsense way, which seemed to me to sound like "Why are you this stupid?"

This is the same teacher who doesn't bother to show up half the time, never calls in. We have to watch her class, take her kids in our class if she doesnt show. Sometimes she comes late, is angry if her kids are in my class. MY fault!

Many people say that they've read the Bible, and it's just a bunch of interesting (or maybe boring) stories.

So, if you've read the Bible like you say you have, then what's the common theme that runs all throughout the Bible, from beginning to end?

I'll edit my question with the answer later, so check back.

hey, guys! Catholics only for now, please.
Easy question for you.
You desire salvation (as do I). How do you achieve it, or how did you achieve it?
What action or belief will result or has resulted in your salvation?

If you want to email me, please go right ahead (I prefer it). My email is slinkywizzard@yahoo.com

This guy that lives around the block from me killed his 16 year old daughter for refusing to wear a hijab. Not only that, there were 7 other adults in the house while he was beating her to death. Why is this "religion" (and i use that term loosely) still allowed to be practised here??? Muslims... how do you justify this one?? whats wrong with you people??

I understand the logic behind a muslim woman wanting to wear a scarf & wear long modest clothes....however I see lots of pre-pubesant girls dressed this way...I think that is cruel & silly, I dont understand why her parents would do that or even try to impose their religion on her before she can even think properly about life (this goes for other faith's aswell), I mean of course they can raise her with the islamic lifestyle. It should be her own choice when she gets to around 11 years old to what she wants to wear or what she believes..dont you agree ? if not why?

Thanks for your opinions on this :]

The genealogies of Jesus are different in Matthew (Chapter 1) and Luke (Chapter 3). In Matthew, Joseph is a direct descendant (from father to son) of David's son Solomon; in Luke he is descended through a different line, from David;s other son Nathan. The discrepancy can best be seen by moving backward through the genealogy, beginning from Joseph. Who was Joseph's father? Was it Jacob (as in Matthew) or Heli (as in Luke)? It goes on.

I found this article from Live Science, and a group of historians examined the roots of fundementalism. I especially like this quote: "Scholarly consensus over the last decade or so is that most people did not convert to [Protestantism]. They had it forced upon them," Simpson told LiveScience."

Please read it and tell me what you think.

Besides people completely missing the point of the last question, ummm I have read the bible so don't assume I haven't.

I am just kind of curious. I hear Catholics all the time say theres is the original church and teaches only apostolic teaches. My question is this. Do you truly believe if an apostle came forward in time and saw the RCC he would say this is the church of the first century. Everything you teach is what we taught? Would he recognize the elaborate ceremonies? Would he be able to sit in the church and easily understand exactly what was going on and what was being taught?

you believe pure communism could ever be realized the way it was intended...with the view that human nature is the common qualities of all human beings...?

So yeah, like I said, I am an atheist and I am currently writing a novel. It has no religious themes at all whatsoever in any direction, and there's even a scene where some of the characters are sitting in church singing hymns (cause that's what people did in 1861).

Anyway, if my novel is published someday (Did I mention that it's geared toward teenagers?) and it comes out that I'm a total atheist do you think it would get banned or there would be the outcry that has happened over things like The Golden Compass?

There is a claim that those who do not believe in evolution have that viewpoint because they do not understand it. Based on some of the questions posted here, I think there is some evidence for that, so I would like to see whether the creationists on this forum have a basic understanding of evolution. Thanks for your answers:

True or false:
1) According to evolutionists, Humans evolved from apes?
2) There are many proven facts in science, but evolution is just a theory.
3) A transitional form is a fossil of an animal that is part one species and part another.
4) The age of the earth is determined by scientists solely through the radioactive dating of fossils ?
5) The scientific method begins with a prediction and then looks for evidence to support that prediction?
6) The theory of evolution includes the Big Bang?
7) To believe in evolution is to believe that life and matter came from nothing?

Thank's again for your answers.

It seems like money going into Churches is spent mostly on payroll, politics, buildings and social events more than anything else.
