Sense we are coming upon Easter thought this would be interesting and just see how many people agree with the idea that the Pagan community came up with the myths of Jesus.

Here is the video

I put this in religious debate because marriage and having families tends to be very important in most religions, the bible says to go forth and plant the seed or raise children is what it means, replenish the earth.

My sister is a conservative Baptist Christian ,she had a fairytail marriage more or less, she and her husband have 2 businesses lots of money and she teaches music.

They had 4 kids and life seems perfect for them. But the bible says to be married or not? I was saying last...

God exists but is very bad news for humans to have to contend with.

God takes away ones freedom to act to ones one satisfaction on what is right or wrong, good or bad as duties. We humans are capable of looking after our own affairs without such guidance and imposition. It makes life more interesting if we make mistakes and try and resolve our problems by consulting each other and agreeing a joint path for mankind.

The correct method that works for me is to rely on my Consciousness to...

The lack of impressive floors in the buildings for the most part!

They often look like plain dull worn-out old concrete slabs in otherwise nice buildings with beautiful pipe organs. Most other grand churches in other countries have beautiful gleaming floors nice patterns with checkerboard squares or floral motifs. Look at the lovely floors at Notre Dame Paris, St. John the Divine in New York, the St. Peter's Basilica in Rome and the Westminster Abbey in London.

Why were the floors skimped...

Michael Servetus called paedobaptism "...an invention of the devil, an infernal falsity for the destruction of all Christianity."
I was wondering what the emphasis is on.

What does it take to be seen as a "educated" person within religion/spiritual life?
Can on only say that the person is educated if they have a masters degree or doctor degree in the field?
What about those who cultivate a religious path? One who live only for the spiritual advancements? is this person "educated" enough?

This place in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 has been the subject of debate in eschatological circles. For futurists and dispensationalists this is one of the most relied places when it comes to the theory and teaching of the rapture.

As always context is king. Quoting scriptures is not enough to teach sound doctrine. Understanding the original audience and the context is paramount to interpreting the meaning. We have been separated from the original audience by thousands of years, by culture,...

Who are those that are born of God?
John 1:12 - 14
But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Should Notre Dame be restored with true faith to the original?

Should steel beams replace the original timbers?

Should this cold, dark medieval Gothic monstrosity be leveled altogether and replaced with something more enlightened in architecture in the form of the Renaissance as St. Peter's Basilica, The Queen of Catholic Churches? How about beautiful, white light and cheerful Baroque architecture as St. Stephen's Cathedral in Passau, Lower Bavaria, Germany designed, decorated and painted...

I'm Banned from the Ark Park

It was a ban without cause since to date he has not done anything to earn a ban from the park, at least not when at the park. Supposedly the park was having an event where they would answer atheists questions. It looks like they were afraid of the questions that Aron would ask.
