    The best secret in this world

    Not all are verses Some are adverses Some are reverses We'll never know til we're in hearses.

    The best secret in this world

    It might be an imitation bunker, so people will stop looking for the real bunker. As Maxwell Smart always said, nothing is less conspicuous than a conspicuous car (he drove a red Alpine Tiger, then later a blue Volks Wagon Carmen Ghia).

    The best secret in this world

    If all-powerful God has the power to stop torture, why does He allow it? He allows death and pain.

    justification by faith alone?

    The Religious Right wants wars (Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Niger, Iran, and rattle sabers at Russia--threatening nuclear war), torture camps, gun rights (must be a member of the National Rifle Association to run for the presidency). They pamper the rich with lower taxes, insist that...

    justification by faith alone?

    Jews were loyal to God, but always picked on. They remained loyal as they were tortured to death by Nazis. God wasn't righteous to allow that.

    justification by faith alone?

    Maybe if we zap you with our wands? Potions? Caudrons of eyes of newts?

    justification by faith alone?

    Satan rules by lies, fear, and greed. Satan wants to destroy God's greatest triumps (environment). God fearing Christians don't want to burn in hell for all eternity. Would a kind God burn them? Does it make sense to join an unkind God? Many have faith in God because they can't handle the...

    justification by faith alone?

    My aunt had two stillborn kids. She buried them in her mother's unmarked grave (couldn't afford gravestone). She had believed that there might be a God prior to this, but she needed some justification for the horrible tragedies. She turned to God in a big way. She joined a church that...

    Prophet Muhammad did not marry a child

    Perhaps religion is what we feel, rather than what we can prove?

    Prophet Muhammad did not marry a child

    Theists will merely assert that contradictions are merely miracles of God (increasing their devotion to God).

    Prophet Muhammad did not marry a child

    If the bible is wrong about one thing, it could be wrong about everything. We can no longer trust the bible, nor God. The bible is the only way that we know God. If the bible is wrong, then maybe all of it is a myth and maybe God doesn't exist?

    How to be saved?

    Not permanently saved. Death is the inevitable end.

    How to be saved?

    God is love and love is God. No records of wrongs. We are born with original sin from Adam and Eve tasting the forbidden fruit of knowledge (God still carries a grudge, still has records of wrongs, and they are not even our wrongs, they are wrongs of some distant ancestor, and Jesus had to...

    Darwinism is evil, isn't it?

    WITHOUT EDUCATION IN BIOLOGY OR GENETICS, YOU ARE NOT QUALIFIED TO DISREGARD IT. There is much to know, and I cannot teach an entire lifetime of education in a simple forum post. The scientists have PhDs, are tenured professors, and have specialized in fields of genetics or anthropology. You...

    Too Scholarly

    Short versions of any books cut out important information. For example, when I was getting my degrees in philosophy, my TA laughed at my "for dummies" books that I used to supplement the reading. Yet, I have to agree that they offered good insight. But no professor considers a "for dummies"...

    Too Scholarly

    I advise against predigested "short version" bibles because a lot is misinterpreted or omitted (either intentionally or unintentionally). Interpretation of the bible is often wrong. For example, Some fear Iraq because they think that it is the "Whore of Babylon." But Revelation 17:18 makes it...

    Too Scholarly

    The facts of the bible are not nearly as important as the meaning. When Kunta Kinte's master was having Kunta beaten to accept his new name, Toby, he was too busy to chat because he was reading the bible. Too much study, not enough practice.

    Spiritual marriage to God or a god

    If voodoo worked, there are several presidents who would have had difficulty retaining power.

    Spiritual marriage to God or a god

    50% divorce rate: Serially monogamous. I wonder if bigamy is all that bad? If the wifes are fine with it, and the husbands like it, why would anyone object. What about all those unmarried young men who will never find wives. What happens when the entire group has DNA from just a few...
