Science vs Religion right??? So lets say we make contact with another lifeform from outer space, how do ya'll think the different religions wuold cope with that? I like that question... Especially if we discover hundreds, thousands or millions of new species of sentient beings over the next milleni...

God is all powerful. He is behind creation. If extra-terrestrials did exist then it is of God's doing. Do you believe GOD created us in His image? I'm sure most Christians do... What if GOD did create humans in his image, and these sentient extra-terrestrials did not look like us? A whole species o...

God created us to be rational and intelligent so as to make us beyond the level of animal. I've been told I should have faith that GOD loves me, and if I'm a good person, that perhaps He will give me eternal life, and that I should have faith that He will listen to my prayers and watch over us. But...

Another thought: Lo! those who believe, and those who are Jews, and Sabaeans, and Christians - Whosoever believeth in Allah and the Last Day and doeth right - there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve. - al-Ma'idah 5:69 And whoso seeketh as religion other than the Surrender {Islam...

Hi abs, There are in fact many things I find confusing about the Bible. Some of which is listed below. My biggest challenge with the Bible, or any other religious text, is finding that point at which the metaphors end, and what is literal begins... A few of these are quoted below, but first I would ...

By the way why does everyone assume God is a man? Funny you mentioned that Chocoholic. Your question reminds me of a stand up routine by comedian/actor George Carlin I heard a few years ago. He often integrated his irreverent and even disrespectful views on religion in to his performances. Seeing a...

Here's a religious question I often ponder: Is there, in the world today, a major organized religion believing in a GOD who created the universe and then allowed it to unfold along its natural course, not intervening in it's development? Essentially the classic "deist" belief… Basically, my question...

Hey Dubaiman, I like your ramblings and thoughts. Well, I think we can all agree there certainly is a lot of ramblings and thoughts in this forum... and since Chocoholic and Pumpkin Escobar seem to like mine, here's a few more based on your last comment: With regard to your question about the after...

But wouldn't reincarnation be cool just for a few times around? I mean you could do things differently, living as a woman, then a guy and animal - whatever, that is if you would actually be able to remember what you did in your previous life. But I think you would get bored being around forever, yo...

Why not just cut the pretence? Wow is right... I've never been to Dubai but I'm not terribly surprised by your comments. Those whom I know living in Dubai, say the culture is very superficial. So, to touch on a possible answer to your question... I'd say the aura of a newage, liberal wonderland is ...

Just try looking up information on 'Yohara'... a company used to comit a multi-million derham property fraud scam. When caught, the whole thing was quickly and quietly hushed up and erased. Understandably, it was bad for business, but it was a little creepy in the way it was buried and forgotten......

One opinion on the matter I would like to offer to those posting and reading other’s views here, is that this topic is truly one of relativity and perspective... For someone who's originally from Central America, the quality of employment in Dubai may be fantastic. Someone from Ireland may perceive ...
