Perhaps "torture" is a bit strong a word (haha) but y'know... don't you find it SO frustrating to come on here asking religious based questions only to have people enthusiastically replying with their phony circular logic, clearly not willing to THINK rationally? I do find it very frustrating myself.

I don't see it as a totally pointless exercise though. It's nice to think we may enlighten a few agnostic half-believers. But anyway...
What frustrates you the most about religious people?

uhmm,,then why do we still have hell?

or he has only saved those that were already in hell before he came and so now all of us who are still here have a tendency to go to hell??

is it true that even though you dont respect your parents, commit murder, adultery etc as long as they believe in God and that Jesus is the Savior, and have asked forgiveness for their sins, they can still go to heaven?

1.) What does the Theory of Evolution actually say?

2.) What do biologists say are the two principles at work that collectively cause the phenomenon known as evolution?

It's probably pointless to say this; but please, evolutionists -- don't blurt out the answers! Let them show us they really DO understand what evolution is about (or immortalize their ignorance here online) on their own....

One of my good friends is subbing as a Sunday school teacher at his local church. We got into an argument today about the birth of Jesus-- he thought that Jesus was born on Christmas, whereas I believed that the Bible infers that he was born in spring (which it does).

Question: Has there ever been a time when you knew more about the Bible or another religious text than someone of that very faith? Details would be much enjoyed.

Dear Non-Believers: you do not believe in "god" nor in any kind of deity.

Let's just imagine for one minute that you may doubt about the inexistence of "god".

I just wish to know what kind of REAL proof would make you think that "god" would really exist.

What kind of REAL proof about "god" 's existence would you WANT to see?

- a loud voice from the sky telling that it's "god" speaking, that you'll get an earthquake under your feet and indeed, this happens 2 seconds after?

- you see "god" in person (colours, shape, motions, ...)

- ???


If you had doubt about "god' inexistence, what kind of REAL proof would you WANT so that you believe in "god" 's existence eventually?

Thank you for your answer :-)

Back than they didn't have: DNA test, Fingerprinting, ballistics, Forensics, surveillance cameras, and wire tapping. Is it possible that religion was created as an incentive for people to do the right thing, and instill fear in those who don't have a conscience. I believe so. Back than it was easy to get away with murder, rape, theft. And there is not much reward in going out of your way to help a stranger. What do you think.

At times the world feels so empty and I feel lonely and sad. There is absolutely no reason for me to feel this way because everything is just fine but I still feel it. Why do you think I feel that way? Do you guys feel that way too? If you do when and why?

First I suppose I should state that I am not a Mormon. However I do appreciate wonderful music and an excellent production when I see it.

I congratulate the Mormon Church for its wonderful presentation last night and the beautiful choir and other participants.

If those that think Mormonism is not Christian, I hope they watched this, which in itself, showed us otherwise.

Thank you L,.D.S. Church for adding such love and talent to the Christmas season.

Many Christians don't believe the theory of evolution is possible. They say things like "Evolution is just a theory! Think about it, a tornado going through a scarp yard made a jet. That wouldn't make any sence. The "Big-Bang", putting us 93 million miles away from the sun. No that would make sence either. First how are we learning math and all these weird numbers. And Nothing comes from Nothing..." <-----unedited

This, to me, either suggests a lack of effective intelligence, a lack of creative ability, an unwillingness to think for themselves or more likely all of the above.

Is the same mental mechanism that allows Christians to believe that evolution is impossible the same mechanism that allows them to be unabashedly Christian in the first place?

I mean they voted on the name, so they too should have threatened with death. Or because they were Muslims it didn't apply. It seems that Muslims have 2 standards, Muslims and non-Muslims. Did the parents of these students get in trouble?

I mean God can flood the world but he can't flood hell or get rid of it? I'm pretty sure if he does that then he will have nothing to worry about us having hate in our soul.

He is a powerful man so why doesn't he put that in good use. What is God doing for us now? Think about it? Is he making you go to school to get a good job? Is he making you become a good football player and make millions? Just think about what he is doing for us.

If he has all these powers why doesn't he use it against Satan?

I don't know much about the story behind all of this hence the question.

If people of different religions , nationality start giving respect to each other & start understanding the feelings of each other then we can together fight with so many 'REAL PROBLEMS' which exist in the world instead of fighting with each other.

Athiesm has it's faith in Science but Science is constantly changing and Science will never find out the origin of life and universe.

So athiesm is more like an incomplete belief system which keeps changing but never finds real answers.

Or any type of strange images, of any kind. Like
at a haunted house. Or maybe you had an uncle, or
somebody who passed away. And you saw that
person's spirit. Or just an evil spirit, and you didn't
even know what the heck it was. But you can clearly
remember how afraid you were, when you first saw
it. Whatever it was. OK. So where did that come
from ? It was a spirit. Science cannot explain the
dynamics fully, behind the spirit world. All they ever
say is, we can't explain it. But something was there......
Does this reinforce your belief in the slightest manner ?
About the existence of God. If the answer is yes, then
you may want to consider, that it is very possible.
Right, yes. Have you ever seen or felt a ghost ?
Best answer wins.......

How can you believe that homosexuality is a choice? I am stunned by the attitudes that place such a heavy burden on homosexuals. They have not chosen to be homosexual anymore than anyone chooses to be straight.

I'm looking for something other than scripture here. I know all the scriptures. Can you give me some scienific evidence that homosexuality is choosen?
