My understanding is most of the Bible stories are allegorical.

Most people don’t learn respect any more. When I was student teaching the teacher I was working under was very strict about please and thank you and waiting your turn.
I got more than a few “What’s the magic Word?” thrown at me when I would forget to say please to one of the kids.
The younger teachers made fun of her but she got results because respect was a two way street.

Kattsrose: Going back to the example of State run gambling.
I’ve seen kids with jackets that were held together with duct tape and wearing nasty hand me down boots get out of their parents cars that had hundreds if not thousands of dollars worth of losing scratch tickets on the floor.
These kids were going without because their parents thought they were going to get rich playing games where to odds were against them. The lottery is even worse than the scratch tickets. The odds of getting struck by lightning are better than the odds of winning the big prize.
I don’t get angry at people for buying tickets though. It’s their mistake to make. If I feel a child is being neglected. I’m a mandated reporter and by law I have to let the administration know about it and we have to report the suspicions to Social Services.
I don’t know what happened to you. It sounds like it was pretty bad and very painful. I am sorry for the suffering that you were subjected to.
All I really want from you is the same respect for the beliefs of others that you want and are entitled to.

No you dont - you want to be able to subjectivise my anger into a little box just like you have your own - well it aint gonna happen, your expriences are yours and mine are mine and I dont have much sympathy - I do have the respect you speak of and the fact that you cant see it is not my problem so please dont put your inability to comprehend down to a lack of anything in me - ok....... it isnt my lack

steelman73: what would happen if it was proved that our lives started on another planet and their were aliens and the man they say was jesus was actually a space traveller
I always find these threads amusing because they go basically - nowhere. Why? Because when these type of questions are asked those that believe will clutch tighter to there beliefs and those who don't will point to what the believers say and say "See now that's why I don't believe" "How about giving me some hard proof." Me I like to keep it real SIMPLE. Its not about science, aliens, church,education, etc...I get to see my HARD PROOF 24/7/365 days of the year. She came in a very small parcel but she has taught me more about life, hope, faith, God in the few short years(and she's only three) she has been here than anything else. Its hard not to have belief in something greater after seeing that face. And that quite frankly is good enough for me.

When I was a kid there were four churches on the square.At about age 11 Mom got to worrying about my religious instruction.I was made to attend a Sunday School for an hour.I could choose for myself which.
I tried them all once:Methodist,Baptist,Episcopaland Congregationalist.
Then I just sat in the park with the real squirrels for an hour and went home...

Watch for a lot more of this in the future. I've been saying for some time now that this theory is going to be promoted.
History Channel Special Distorts Interviews to Promote "Alien Agenda"
Tuesday January 28, the History Channel premiered "UFOs in the Bible," a program featuring several ufologists, authors and ministers. All apparently argued that most of the supernatural occurrences in the Bible represent the activity of alien spacecraft, citing Ezekiel’s wheel, Elijah’s ascension and Moses’ "fire by night" as primary examples. The program’s opening dialog even suggests that God himself is merely an advanced extra-terrestrial being, rather than supernatural deity. However, at least two of those appearing on the program have come forth to state publicly that the program deliberately misrepresented their views. Rather than airing their actual responses to the proposed ideas, both feel that they were wrongfully depicted as affirming these theories.

To all those that are non-believers I respect your thoughts because you go by what you see, what is proved, the facts, the logical events etc.
I was raised in a catholic home and as a child; you do not really capture the meaning of many things. Later I was taken to an atheist Country as a teenager and I had shortly lost my father making me loose my faith.
After that, my life was not a life; I had many difficulties living in this Country.
I have personal testimony how God can transform your life, how miracles can really happen.
You can be a good person in this life but we all are sinners. Only through God, you can be liberated.
I respect everybody out there that believes in their God, you have that right at least in this country but do not bombard hatridge towards others.
Having faith is not being weak, is having hope, believing in something with your heart.
There are people out there that have everything, are they really fulfilled??
There are others that only have there faith and are better off.
There are many dimensions out there and many questions that cannot have a final answer between believers and non-believers. It is you choice to make.
