Since David (Jesus' ancestor) was a redhead, as said in the bible. Is it possible that Jesus was also a redhead?

A verse in the bible where it says that David was a redhead:

1 Samuel 16:12 "And he sent and brought him in. Now he was RUDDY and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the LORD said, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he." - Holy Bible; English Standard Version.

"CHICAGO (Reuters) - Teenagers who have had formal sex education are far more likely to put off having sex, contradicting earlier studies on the effectiveness of such programs, U.S. researchers said on Wednesday.

They found teenage boys who had sex education in school were 71 percent less likely to have intercourse before age 15, and teen girls who had sex education were 59 percent less likely to have sex before age 15."

Is the evil biased satan based religion of science at it again? Is that it? The religious right sickens me.

I am 13 and am orthodox. My mom and my sister are non denominational christians. My dad is also orthodox christian just as I am. I talked to my mom about my baptism. She said that she doesn't like religion because its not wat the bible says. I said then why did she baptize me in the orthodox church if she doesn't like religion. She said that she didn't know Christ and that evry orthodox around her told her that I was supposed to be baptized because they knew the Orthodox church rules. She said that I had a Godfather and mother. She said the whole religion thing is stupid and that since it doesn't say that in the bible then it's not right. She always does that. It pisses me off because she's trying to contradict catholism and orthodoxy just because she doesn't believe it. I believe all the rituals devoutly and dont believe her faith. Do you think she has a right to say those things about my faith? What should I do?

God is very Great. Every one in this world is unique in itself in mean of different faces, different skills, different scales, different skulls, different thoughts & different feelings. Why God
has done so. What motive was behind this ? If you follow then reply, If not then ignore, but no joke. Thanks

When you meet someone at the store, or on the street, etc. And they wish you a Merry Christmas just as a jester of good faith not meaning to cause any harm, not knowing you are atheist, does it really offend you?

Another question:

When Mary (or the group of women) went to the tomb early in the morning, was it light yet or was it still dark? Mark writes that it was "after sunrise" (16:2), when there would have been plenty of light, but John writes that it was "still dark" (20:20). These texts simply do not agree.

I'm not hostile to the Bible or christians in general, just do not understand their position regarding the Bible being inerrant.

How many errors need be shown?

If the authors were inspired by God, wouldn't they have their stories straight? Some of you have argued "no" the this question? If that's the case, the entire Bible should be viewed as accounts from men who may have got their facts screwed up, right?

If you look at the indiginous people of the middle east, Jesus did not have blue eyes, and light brown hair, as he is depicted in artwork. He would have fairly dark skin, and north african features. I wonder if euros would have chosen to worship Him if he would have been protrayed as he really looked. I KNOW no one knows exactly how He looked, but paleontologists can come pretty close, at least in general terms, and it aint how He is depicted.

The challenge is not to prove to atheists that God exists, but to convince atheists that they can actually experiment successfully with reliable methods by means of which they can determine for themselves whether God exists.

OK, so i'm not 100% sure what it is to be a Satanist, I am pretty sure it doesn't involve being a child molester, sheep sodomiser, graveyard vandaliser, flag burner or ouija consultant.

I'm just not sure whether it's just a way of thinking (a'la La Vey), or whether there is a way of pracising it and somehow making my life better. I've tried the Jesus stuff and that is all Emperor's New Clothes gimmickry and pseudo spiritual inner healing which actually doesn't work at all when faced with real life.

So I'm asking any practising satanists for tips and pointers

Think about it, folks: Every visit to a non-Asatru worship assembly is just one more slap in Thor's face. Is that a risk you really want to take? Hmmm?

I've been told by members of another forum that God couldn't possibly have a hand in our adoption because God would not "rip a child from his bio-mom" or cause the hurt & pain that is associated with adoption on the birthfamily/adoptee side. I feel completely the opposite - that our adoption was a true gift from God. It was His way of allowing us to have the family we always wanted. We refer to our adoption story as a Miracle because we believe that our son was placed with us for a reason and that his life was saved because of it. I've received a lot of criticism on this. I'm curious as to what others in this category have to think/say about it.

Sorry if I did not put what I was saying in the right way..My point was that this person who was in an accident, and made it out okay had a grandmother, who was an athiest herself, so she DID NOT believe in ANY GOD right. Now she tells this grandchild that GOD was watching over him and that is why he made it though the terrible accident. So what do you tell this person, if your the grandma and he hears you say, "GOD was watching over you!" When in fact, she does not believe in any GOD? My question to everyone is...How would you explain being an athiest, and not believing in GOD, and yet you have said GOD was with you? What do you tell this grandchild whom has heard that grandma doesn't believe in GOD? Does GOD just exist in that moment in grandma;s mind? I hope I have worded what I am saying better this time! Thanks everyone :)

Why are christans so against wiccans?

Christians think they know all about wiccan, that the are "satin worshipers," "evil," controll humans," and "kill," none of that is true! it is infact a nature based religion. We dont have potions, we have remedies.


And wiccans dont even have a "devil" that we can worship?!?!?!


I dont truly get that, and christan came from wiccan! Look it up if you dont belive me!

I mean.. do you agree?
