If you disagree - as your questions suggests - please name ALL religions (I assume since you've made a judgment about all relgions, then you know all of them and what each of them believes and practicies). In actuality, only 3 or 4 religions (of the hundred or so in existence) stir...

So you're question doesn't have evidential basis.

If I impregnated a woman and she decided not to keep it, I would do everything in my power to save the child (even...

I think that, at present, the people are sick of politicians with an inability to give a straightforward answer and they'll jump on anyone's bandwagon as long as they really know where he/she stands. Currently, I feel that Ron Paul is the only one that gives straightforward answers....

Does it upset you too? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11167211 It upsets me a great deal when I hear people trash teachers. Does it upset you too?<br /><br />It doesn't upset me when the bad ones are trashed. And in answer to some of your comments I've seen. Teachers aren't just the only career category that gets trashed.

For those of us not part of the "some" that you are referring to, the Divine is real to us even with the acknowledgement of scientific truths &amp; theorems. Personally, I feel that the vast majority of scientific denial (of the key stuff at least - i.e. the earth's...

Why? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11160210 What is you all time favorite "BOARD GAME? Why?<br /><br />Settlers of Catan - by far the best game ever. Because it changes every time you play it and because it's a combination of Monopoly, Risk, poker, and Sorry (all games that I enjoy to a lesser extent).

Then there's that whole thing about making rules about it, etc., etc. zzzzzz Sat, 27 Aug 2011 13:10:42 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11159129 Answer to Why is poverty such a widespread condition? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11159109 Why is poverty such a widespread condition?<br /><br />Because there is a widespread understanding of the word "poverty" to only include money or possessions. Sat, 27 Aug 2011 13:06:30 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11159109 Answer to Would it really matter or make much difference if God were generally determined to be imaginary like all the other gods? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11159096 Would it really matter or make much difference if God were generally determined to be imaginary like all the other gods?<br /><br />I don't consider "other gods" to be imaginary. In fact, I still worship Poseidon. They are only "fictional" to those who don't believe in them (that goes for the Abrahamic god as well). Such claims are only personal statements, in my opinion.

From what I was taught growing up (in Catholic School), the early Church knowingly changed the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday as a remembrance/celebration of Jesus rising from the dead.

Mon, 22 Aug 2011 12:26:50 -0700 http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11139342 Answer to Atheists deny the existence of God. If an Atheist argues that there is no proof of the existence of God, is it fair to require Atheists to prove the non-existence of God to support their position? If not, why? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/11139294 Atheists deny the existence of God. If an Atheist argues that there is no proof of the existence of God, is it fair to require Atheists to prove the non-existence of God to support their position? If not, why?<br /><br />Also, Atheists do not deny the existence of God. To deny something's existence means to have an understanding of its existence and then choose to disregard it. Atheists do not have an understanding of any deity's existence due to the lack of objective empirical evidence.

If an Atheist argues that there is no proof of the existence of God, is it fair to require Atheists to prove the non-existence of God to support their position? If not, why?<br /><br />Christians deny the existence of my Goddess. By the question's logic, Christians should have to prove to me that my Goddess does not exist.
