Answer 1

Do you mean, for example, "What keeps one mired in antiquated laws , refusing progression of any sort throughout the centuries?" As a non-believer, my likely answer to this question would be "Belief in God."

Or "What phenomenon could cause one to believe that dinosaurs walked the earth with humans?" "In what way did man worship that which he could not understand?" Even "In what way did man destroy that which he could not understand?"

"What could cause a person to become so incensed he would kill others and call it "redemption"?

Kind of like that? Sorry NH, I'm awfully tired tonight. I would have liked to answer further. :-)

Answer 2

God has created, is running, and will destroy the Universe. God is the Origin and Destination of the Universe. God was, is, will be everywhere, God was never Created and will never die / be destroyed. God is beyond Life and Death. All religions of world teach human way to get close to God. You give your Best, God will give thy Best. Ask God for help and forgive, God will help and forgive you. Pray; Worship and Thank God for everything. Remember wherever there is Happiness in Life, there will be Sorrow. To get Happiness, you must master Sorrow. For Success in Life; Believe in Self and God, Learn from Past, Concentrate in Present, Plan for Future. Have control on, be the master of, not the slave of your body, senses, and mind. Purpose of this Life is to Gain and Share utmost Knowledge and Experience to differentiate and choose Right, Good, God against Wrong, Bad, Devil. Set your Desire level perfect or OK to be brave, no low to be coward, no high to be cruel. You have rights of Survival, Self Defence, and Freedom.

Answer 3

I don't get it. What difference does it make who asks the question if God is a responsible answer to it? A lot of people don't ask questions about Bush, much less God.

Answer 4

I can think of one philosophical story that sheds light on the subject -- Plato's "Allegory of the Cave" that discusses someone bringing a slave out of the cave who has been watching shadows of his life and knows no other existence. This "person" -- a philosopher, according to Plato, is the one to show this person the light. I disagree. I believe that it can only be God who shows man His light. I don't know who the atheist puts in this person's place. Perhaps it is a philosopher, perhaps governments. If the atheist brings himself out of the shadows, then everyone can bring themselves out of the shadows and no one has Truth.

Answer 5

As you have worded it, It sounds like an impossibility.

Okay, I will give it a try anyway.

1. Who was Jesus referring to as "our father in Heaven"?

2. Was Jesus telling us that his father in Heaven was a scientist from an advanced planet outside our solar system; Planet "H"?
