God is okay wit Wars?

"I will give you peace in the land, and you will be able to sleep without fear. I will remove the wild animals from your land and protect you from your enemies. In fact, you will chase down all your enemies and slaughter them with your swords. Five of you will chase a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase then thousand! All your enemies will fall beneath the blows of your weapons." Leviticus 26:7,8

I think this is saying that its okay to kill when your protecting yourself but everyone in a war feel that way so Wars okay than?
I thought we shall not kill ;)

God was saying this to the Isralieties (however u spell that)

Atheists: How shall we further our "War On Christmas" today?

I just received a shipment of stickers with the letter "X" on them. And remember, if it applies to your name, you are to be known as Xopher and Xine from now on.

Does victim-less humor exist???

The believers have a great sense of humor when the joke is about other faiths, and when it is directed at them, they sulk?

Question for Jehovah's Witnesses?

Why do you come round bothering us when we are busy getting ready for Christmas? Is it because you have got no shopping to do, as you are too mean to let your kids celebrate?

Happy Christmas to you all - I'm off to give blood now, lets hope you never need it.

Jehovah Witnesses: why don't you celebrate Christmas?

My father was JW and I had a great respect for him. I respect all religions and I don't mean to be rude. I'd just like to know why you don't celebrate Jesus' birth on Dec 25th, since we don't really know when He was born. I know you believe Jesus was born sometime in october, but what's wrong with the idea of celebrating it on december, since we don't know when it is?

What is so bad about birthdays anyway? Why don't you celebrate birthdays? Aren't we celebrating the day God gave us our blessing life? Why do we have to take life so seriously and not allow ourselves to celebrate, have fun, enjoy friends, go to parties? Why can't you even sing "happy birthday"?What is wrong with that?

Can anyone give me evidence of Noah's Arc?

I have gotten into a debate with some friends about the existant of Noah's Arc. Where I do admit that a local flood could have happened, I am skeptical that a world wide flood could have. But to be fair, I do want to read evidence supporting/rejecting the Bible.

So could people post links supporting/rejecting this event/story.

Just so you know. Saying "the Bible says so" is not evidence at all. You have to prove that the Bible is 100% accurate. And saying, "It was written by God" will not back that claim because you will have to prove God's existance. Good luck with that.

I know of about the pictures of Mt. Ararat. Please give me something different.

And for people disproving the event: Please don't just state it couldn't happen. Don't bash the Bible, that's rude. Show me points against the believers arguements. For example, why it's physically impossible for a family to populate the earth in 4k years.

Thanks!

Are Atheists really essential to survival (read below)?

Ok so they claim that they made the "logical" choice, so if I become religious will I die??? I mean I am a Christian and I am in med school as a scholar, and I know alot of Christians are smart too and there are also those who are bums, and the same goes for atheists, can't atheists look past religion in order to asses intelligence???? I mean we are not so different we are all humans the difference is we believe in God and you don't so how come you call us dumb stuff??? Be careful Atheists, pride is a harmful thing

God vs. Evolution?

What do you do when you have been raised a Baptist, but while becoming a teenager you lose touch with your beliefs and are taught theories of science that seem more plausible and you are able to accept them more as a reality than what religion has taught you? I am 18 years old, and I have lost touch with my faith in God and have become more convinced of theories of Evolution. Part of me wants to believe there is a higher power and that becoming involved in religion will somehow bring calmness and purify my life. On the other hand I am discouraged because I am able to accept theories of Evolution and do not believe many events which the bible cites.

Your input?

Do you want a good God given recipe?

get some lil smokies (need to be refrigerated while not in use), cook them on whatever the package says and stick them in the oven for about 10-12 minutes. The juice is good so include that on the baking pan, than make some regular ol white rice atleast 4 servings. Once both are done just simply mix the two together, but for the extra kick oh yes it's coming shake some season all in there. Stir it up and put some more season all on it, also don't forget after baking the smokies you roll them around in the juice left over in the pan. I personally like a deep bowl for extra comfort while stirring. Your are welcome, I can say you won't be disappointed.

Do you get mad when some liberal atheist wishes you a "happy solstice" instead of a "Merry Christmas"?

They do it cause they don't got no faith in the Lord!

Has anyone heard the theory that Moses was a deposed Egyptian Prince? and that monotheism came from worship of

Amun-Ra, called the Great Amen?
I read this recently in a book about Sangrael, and was wondering if anyone knew if this was good or bad research. I find it an interesting theory.

Has Islam wiped out all intellectuals who may have lived in what we now call Islam?

It seems to me that it you need to be thick to believe the Koran or the Bible for that matter. Now considering that you would be killed in the past for being an "unbeliever" in an Islamic country, does this mean that highly intellectual atheists who may have once lived in Muslim countries have all been killed off to the determent of what is called the Islamic world?
