    Made in 7 days?

    Basically what I have always been told about this verse is that it's just to emphasize that God is not affected by time. He created this universe, and thus time, and as such it has no hold on him, it is irrelevant to him because he came frist. At least thats my 2 cents.

    Dropping the gloves, no holding back...

    Clarification please. I note the capital "God". Is the atheism discussed here anti-personificational or creative force?

    Why I chose to be a deist

    Actually, very interesting is that I have heard some rumors that there is a phenomenon in an absolute void in which random elements will suddenly start popping into existence one at a time. I haven't confirmed this, but if true, very interesting indeed. Also, I would like to point out that...

    Lost my faith

    Tawn Good post. But I don't think that's what haunted is supposed to mean there. I think by "not being haunted by them", it means that you no longer lose yourself to the feeling of hopelessness and the utter inability to act. You overcome this kind of, "It's worthless, a lost cause, there's...

    Lost my faith

    Hey Ori. I'm going through the same thing. It's not easy. I don't know about you, but the thing that scares me the most is how mad I get. How angry I get when my family and I are watching TV and the news comes through with some kind of disaster, an earthquake, an eruption, a war, a bombing...

    Can drugs be used for religious experiences?

    I'm not entirely sure. I've been pondering this for some time myself. The thing is, drugs often temporarily alter brain chemistry and open up unused areas in our mind for short periods of time, seeing how we only use 10 percent of our brain's capacity. At least this is what I'm told. This...

    Is Jesus The Only Way To Heaven?

    I'm always told, by the various religious leaders at my church wanting me to be baptized, that Jesus paid for our sins. He paid our debt, our fine, in full. The thing that doesnt add up for me is that our punishment for a life of even relative sin, or just not knowing God due to geographical...

    Pope John Paul II Dies at 84 [Breaking news]

    While not a Catholic, I did have massive respect for this man. May he rest in peace with the God he served so ably.

    Why believe in god?

    There is no clear cut answer to the question why, but one of the most common reasons is just a need to understand WHY everything IS. Everyone places a lot of value on the idea of where we came from, in a hope that if we figure that out, maybe we'll know where we're headed. I dont know of a...

    Why don't you have Hawk-Girl up there? That girl gets the snot beat out of her so often, she'd better have a contigency plan! : )

    Hello All!

    Thanks for the welcome. And thank you for the link to the frubals/coins/ribbons explanations Feathersinhair. And no Saw11_2000, I'm not an atheist. You could call me... agnostic, would probably be the best term to use.

    Hello All!

    Hey, found this site last night, but was too dead-tired to do anything but register. One of the better forums I've seen, so I decided to join. As for info about me, I'm 16, not an adherent of any particular religion, interested in global polotics, world-languages, culture, and cultures...
