question to the faithful

very interesting, Set The Truth Free, thanks :)

I knew some of what you have just said, but not all of it.. Most of that will be ignored anyway.. People who are too stuck in their beliefs always ignore the truth.. *sigh*

'Science can not even come close to answering every question and explaining everything'.

Comes a lot closer than Christianity does. If everyone had that attitude, we'd still be taught that the sun goes round the earth.

Also, Elves around during Christian witch hunts? What the fuck? Elves are legendary man.

I should have specified about the elves. They've always been around as mischievious little cirtters, but didn't gain much fame until J.R. Tolkien's the Lord of the Rings gave them a little spotlight.

By elves, I meant "Little people" (that's what they're called in history, anyways), abd they're not necessarily the same things as elves- they're just, well, little people. After the witch hunts and around the time that X-mas was gaining more fame, people were like, "Dude! Where'd the little people go?!" so stories were made up to say that the little people went off to live in safety with Santa Clause. And because we associate the characteristics of elves and little people, it was only natural that the Little people would become known as elves, rather than little people...sighs. I guess that sounded kind of lame, but that's my attempt at clarifying.

i have a question to all christians how do you reconcile a belief in a merciful god with the millions of children dying of aids in africa and the innocent people all over the world who suffer and die needlessly? how does a child dying of starvation fit into gods plan? every christian rants against those who support reproduction rights as 'baby killers' why dont you rant and rave against god who allows millions of children to die from hunger and disease daily?

i dont blame anything on god cause hes not real. i dont blame fictional characters. i was making the point that belief in a merciful god is contradicted by the facts of life, such as war, famine and disease.
