Please let me know. If we have free will, yet "God" has predetermined everything how do you avoid the logical fallacy? Please don't answer "just because God knows what's going to happen doesn't mean you can't act freely" <----this is a fail.

God gave me free will yet pre-determined the outcome of my life and every other event in the cosmos right? So in essence I am absolutely free to absolutely follow the predetermined and absolute path I cannot waver from right? That sounds like somebody's trying to run the 23-skidoo on me and I ain't the one....what gives man?

....count to potato?

1. Geographical circumstance (born in US, Christian...born in Iraq, Muslim, etc)

2. Indoctrination from a young age

3. Fear of death

4. Fear of hell or other post-death circumstance

5. Lack of Education

6. Limited intellectual reserves

7. Extreme guilt based on actions in real life

8. Mental illness

Just ONE shred is all I'm looking for.....any religion...past, present, or one you may be considering starting. And yes....your religion...is a religion.

Picture is less than fantastic I know....about a foot tall....feathery sorta-cosmos like foliage. Light yellow and blue in the flower. Please help! For my 76 year old neighbor Lucille who is a peach (and I don't mean fuzzy :)

...she is not qualified to play Hungry-Hungry Hippo's without a two hour, in-depth, instruction period with lots of pictures, patience, and encouragement?

What does this say to you about the large portion of our populous?

Any experts out there with the answer?

Jesus and Allah are popular today. Does the religious community realize that hundreds of Gods have came and went in the histroy of mankind? Does anyone worship Zeus anymore? Do these people realize that they are caught up in the flavor of the millenia?

...influence Saul to kill David/attempt to kill David?

So...God is moving through David, but at the same time, God sends and evil spirit to try and kill David?

Can anyone shed some light please?

The question was "What kind of dog is Old Yeller" Old Yeller was a Blackmouth Cur (Wikipedia, Google, look it's all over). I was the only one you nailed it, the others responded with "Yellow Lab" and asker chose one of them with the comment "You got it right!" My azz has now turned red.

Star this is you feel me.....

Has anyone ever totaled the numbers? Not talking about the "one guy dies here, one guys dies there" stats. Talking about when Israel goes to war with a town/kingdom and wipes out like 10,000 at a crack. Anyone know the total number that the Old Testament reports?

Any glaring holes in a resource based economy? Thoughts, both positive and negative welcomed.

Please make sure you have read the entire Bible (not just familiar with portions/verses) before answering.

If so, please name the book.

Do you think people have a grasp of what global warming actually is and how it is measured?

Thoughts?

....or is that too much responsibility at one time?

What if she brought a helper?

Not Biblical ones, and I have Josephus (even though I am not sure if it is legitimate). Do any of you know any other historians who lived during the time of Jesus who documented anything about him?

Thanks
