the middle eastern countries have fought for thousands of years, even today the unrest of terrorism & Iraq where Jesus was meant to have been born. Or was the bible written for those people who had lost all hope of peace? A manuscript for a guide, to all who felt lost and needed some help in attaining an inner sanctuary? My whole family have disowned me because of the fact I dont believe that the stories in the bible are true. Also how come all the animals around the world are unique to an area like Australia having marsupials? I mean how did the sloth make it to south America if the seas were so high after the flood? Why did'nt Jesus tell the natives of Australia that had lived here for nearly 40,000 years? Why are thier such differences like Negro black to caucation white? Even the far eastern regions like Japan and China having history that dates back almost forever, with their own unique eye shape and stature?

Accept it people, evolution is real! Species change over time, adapting to better suit their environments. The Bible, being written by reclusive MEN, not GODS, is completely fallible.

I once made the same comment then a Buddhist asked me why am I being so judgmental of judgmental people. Who is the hypocrite if I'm pointing my finger at others. It does not matter what other people say what matters is how do I react to them. If I allow others to belittle my path then It is my fault. People can only push my buttons if I allow them too. This is a hard lesson if the people who are pushing your buttons installed them(your family) Don't blame God for what people do. Take care of your self. Find a path that is yours and don't let the past run your life. All these questions if the chicken or the egg came first dont matter. Find a poor person and give them a sandwitch. THats what matters.

Not all religions are hypocritical. Generalizations can be misleading.
Part of the hardest part of living by any faith is the responses to asking "Why?" Too many people leave Christian faiths because of the responses to that question, from simple admonishing to being kicked out of churches.
Believe what you feel in your heart is right and you can't go wrong. If you feel that you *do* need something to believe in, try out Beliefnet.com. There's some quizzes on there that can help give you a better idea of what religions suit your personal beliefs.
Oh, and don't let the hateful sway you.
Good luck on your journey. :)

God created man in His image. Man spread out across all lands and evolved individually and took on charactoristics differently due to their environments.
The Flood has been noted by every primative culture on earth but the Bible only speaks of Noah. Archeologists have found evidence of the great flood on every contenent. There was high ground on all contenents, so those who could, fleed to the highest points.
The Aboriginies in Australia actually date back 60,000 years. They like the American Indian were fine with their spirituality and devotion toword God ... it was those in the Middle East who needed to be helped ... after all, look at all of the problems that have come from that regoin.

as far as i know Jesus was sent to Israel only. his message was meant to his people, that's why it was not spread it to the world.
talking about Japan and China, they're human beings, they need someone to rely on, they have brains that told them about religion, they're normal! they just didnt know what to search or where. Religions were around since Adam was sent to earth! and he is the first human being!
I cannot give further explaining because of our different religions and different believes, but if you are interested in knowing, let me know.
