    Do you believe the Bible is God's word?

    The only part in the bible claimed to be spoken by god to all, is the Ten Commandments. all the rest a prophecies that are an interpretation of humans to what god said. In the OT, Moses is the only one considered to be a prophet who had a clear sight of God's word. The farther we go from him...

    What a lot of people believe vs the truth - What's important to you?

    It seems that what makes us much more advanced, is what actually is over what "we" believe. What really (should) matter, is the facts. not the opinions. The more educated a society is, the more it can "fine-tune" itself. That said, what actually, really matters, is not the truth/belief itself...

    Evolution and life in the future

    Evolution describes a process. I am not sure what you mean by "thought". Evolution has no thoughts. It simply is a process that occurs regardless of the outcome. We know, for a fact it occurs. EVEN the bible suggests it. A process similar to biological evolution is also happening in societies...

    Do atheists believe in magnetism?

    Not necessarily wrong, but not a theory. A theory in science is not considered a theory without evidence. If you can't measure, it is not a theory but rather a thesis. When you present evidence and experiments that prove and support your thesis, it can become a theory (there are many more...

    Do atheists believe in magnetism?

    of course, it can be seen. I think you are neglecting the fact we have technology. When saying "shown" it includes technology. We cannot really see atoms, but we can measure them. We cannot see gravity, but we can measure it. Yes... we can actually see our brains! we know for a fact we have them...

    Questions that believers cannot answer

    Cool. It really depends on what you mean by "loving". God is a giver. In that sense, yes. God is loving. It did not. It created a world that contains both suffering and pleasure. Life (Adam), "chose" (not really) to experience suffering as well as pleasure. The choice to know (it is referred...

    How do we know a Prophet is a Prophet and sent by God?

    In the Jewish belief. A prophet can only be considered as one if all his positive prophecies are met. Negative prophecies are always considered possible and not a must.

    God and Wholeness, Absolute

    God is not separate from you same as you are not separate from life (or life separate from you).

    What is your biggest complaint/disagreement with the bible

    Hebrew is not lost. We use it daily. Some words have a very different meaning than modern Hebrew, yet at its core, the meaning of the words is the same. There are some words that are very rare in the OT, making them much harder to interpret, but in Israel, we learn the OT from first grade and...

    What do Atheists Want?

    I'll try to explain what I mean by Actual reality. Colors are subjective for example. Each person perceives colors differently. This is a "Subjective reality". Light waves and their frequencies are objective. they are the same, thus "Objective reality". In science, when you refer to color, you...

    How could someone be insulted

    Not sure I understand what you wrote. Can you give an example?

    What do Atheists Want?

    Science is a philosophy. It is a broad name for a multitude of purviews. Can you give an example of what science is sub-set of?

    What do Atheists Want?

    Yes. Obviously I do not. I wasn't stating what an atheist is. An atheist is someone who doesn't accept the idea of one god. In that case, You are either an atheist or not. I couldn't care less if you are or not :) Ok. Interesting. How do you perceive true and false? and how do you demonstrate...

    What do Atheists Want?

    When it comes to our actual reality, they are (as they should) the only ones valid. Any claim that is not supported by scientific methods should not be valid (for determining our reality that is). God is not a relevant concept in the eyes of an Atheist. Worshiping or admiring, BTW, should also...

    Religion, War and the Bible

    I am from Israel. War is on my thought since the day I was born (literally). Its got nothing to do with religion. Its only a way to show support same as saying "God bless America"... It wasn't Jesus who said it, rather god. Jesus simply restated it. God is against war (even though there are...

    How could someone be insulted

    It depends how you ask the questions. When conversing with someone, the most important thing is to understand each language. You can ask someone for example: "Where was God in the holocaust"... Some might find it offensive as it is asked with the "hint" idea that God doesn't exist or else the...

    What does science think will disprove God?And what do Christians think will prove God?

    You cannot disprove God same as you cannot Prove it. It cannot be disproved as God is a non physical concept and science only deals with the physical "realm". For the same reason, you cannot prove Gods exsitence. You can, however, try to prove Gods affect on the physical world, yet it will only...

    Suicidal Bird

    It's funny how humans took over the natural places of animals, and have the audacity to say they are risking their lives :) It will be the same to say that dears risk their lives walking around in places where hunting is permitted (for some twisted reason ;))

    Suicidal Bird

    It did not try to commit suicide. It is more probable it was in a scared situation and your window was not seen. If, by any chance, indeed it tried to end its own life, it means something was mentality (illness, drugged, etc.) or physically malfunctioning. There is a very low probability, that...

    Little confused...Are Jews allowed to drink alcohol or is it a sin?

    Ha ha. good question, but a rather simple answer :) The blessing is not for the wine, rather the opportunity to drink it with a cause. Its a Mitzva, only in specific occasions. Purim, is one of the most special ones. as it celebrates the prevention of anhelation of the Jewish people. the...
