    Why do people become atheists?

    I wouldn't much care for that either. If hell is a real place, I'd like to think you have to try pretty hard to get ther. Doesn't seem fair that average human behavior would be enough to send us into eternal damnation. very interesting way of looking at it.

    Did Jesus Sin

    Again, no indication that he whipped anyone or anything - but it seems to me he drove out the animals with the whips, if anything, and this is the only passage you will find like this I am sure. In Mark and Matthew where the same scene is recalled, no whips mentioned.

    Did Jesus Sin

    You're right - by Jewish law this was clearly seen as a sin. Good looking out. No, he only knocked thier table over. There is no indication he was physically violent to their persons. That's kind of the point I was making. He was human - or at least partly so. Many people think that to...

    I really don't think we are in danger of that. Churches continue to grow and grow in this nation. I am more worried that we will throw science out, reason out, compassion and love out.

    Cant log out every time I shut down my computer.

    When you say you can't log out, what are you trying to log out of? Windows? Your ISP? Some other password protected application or site? What can't you log out of?

    Did Jesus Sin

    Depends on what you define as sin, and how you regard Jesus. Personally, if Jesus wasn't partly man with the same motivations as a normal man - some jealousy, some anger, some doubt, maybe even lust - I don't see his sacrifice as particularly meaningful. It is a man who strived to be holy and...

    See, that's where I differ. Our representatives can certainly pray privately in a personal way, but in an official capacity, I don't believe structured prayer of any type belongs in Congress, public schools, courts, etc. Nor do I believe school children or people at school assemblies should be...

    I like the way you put that. I use my faith to influence my personal politics for sure, but I don't like the thought of the state controlling the church or the church controlling the state - not any church, not any state. The one state I have particular sway in is the one I live in - the US.

    I appreciate what you are trying to say, however when people say: Anglican - they are referring to it as a denomination, though there are many sub-groups of Anglicans with individual church heirarchies. When people say Baptist - they are referring to it as a denomination, irregardless of...

    Any surgery, especially the anesthesia, can increase the risk of cardiac complications, but that would probably happen during or immediately after the surgery if at all.

    As a group, Baptists with an affiliated heirarchy and those with no affiliated heirarchy are still generally considered part of the same denomination, but those with no particular affiliation are difficult to measure. I myself belong to a rather small denomination. But - we are waaaaaaay OT...

    Catholicism IS a Denomination - it is the largest denomination of all, the largest denomination of Christians, and the largest denomination of Christians in the US. Baptists are not even the largest Protestant Christian denomination - Anglicans are. I am not saying there aren't a sizeable...
