a kid's show had warned about the US debt 15 years ago?

and a bonus question now that i think about it....

where did the idea come from that Hell and "the lake of fire" was the same thing?

i constantly see people saying stuff like "The books in the Old Testament were superseded by the words of Jesus in the New Testament." and "Once Jesus was born the old covenant which was the Mosaic Law was no longer needed because of Jesus."

Yet Jesus said "Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished." doesn't that mean the law still matters?

(or "Don't Ask, Don't Tell") was deemed unconstitutional by a Federal Judge?

please read everything as i will try to explain it.

the question is:

is scientism the religion for atheists?

now i want everyone to know that i am not asking "is science the religion for atheists" but SCIENTISM.

now for those who don't know what scientism is, it is the belief that science is the ONLY way to know if something is true.

this question was inspired by the video found here:

(it is a 20min video but i recommend everyone to watch it.)

i keep hearing you guys say that atheism is simply not believing in God, and it isn't believing there is no God... so my question to you guys is what do you call someone who believes there is no God if you don't call them atheists?

i have heard a lot of supporters of the health care bill support it because health care is a 'right' and some people just don't have access to it. but what about those people who choose not to have it? for instance i am 20yo and i have a choice to have the company i work for give me health insurance, but i choose to take the extra money instead. now that bill states that if you do not have health insurance then you face huge fines and time in prison.

why is health care so special that it needs to be forced on those who don't want/need it? why aren't people forced to practice any of the rights specifically laid out in the Constitution?

that the rapture is going to be in May 21, 2011 and that the earth will be destroyed in October 21, 2011

***extra credit***

refute the belief of it being true if you think it false or if you hold this view as true defend it.

this question comes from seeing this video:

when i plug in the charger to a power outlet the little green light on the power brick is on, but when i plug it in the laptop it turns off and doesn't charge. does anyone know what could be causing the problem and how i could fix it (if it is fixable)?

1. what does it mean to be a Christian?

2. how do you become a Christian?

3. why should you be a Christian?

as it seems a lot of the answers here given by people who call themselves a "liberal Christian" would fit those who follow the "new age" belief system better than someone who claims to be a Christian.

for instance earlier someone said "I think that the portrayal of God in the Bible is the literary device of personification."

seriously its bugging me, why waist your time just picking on those who have different beliefs than you?

where has the idea come from that it isn't sinful to eat non-kosher foods?

OK, so this is supposed to be during worship at a "church" and frankly it sickened me

for those who don't want to read it, in short the appearance of crucifixes in a catholic private school is causing outrage among the teachers...
