    I usually don't have a problem with people making fun of me or my religion. If people question my beliefs, I try to explain. A suggestion would be to get them to tell you about their religion and discuss similarities and differences. Create an understanding between people of the different religions. Begin to communicate.

    I can't explain too much about grace, but I do know that grace alone is not what keeps us from acting out the mosaic laws. Jesus said "I did not come to do away the laws but to give them their full meaning." This means that there have been more reasons to all of the laws. Fullfilling them must have meant showing the people what it meant to follow the laws and yet not lose sight of God. The Jews were saved not just by faith but by following the laws of God. Not following like an empty shell, but following with feeling, with prayer, with passion, with love for our God.

    Ok as for the seven day creation the days are great symbols of different aspects of the world. As humans were the last in the creation we only knew what we saw.We didn't see the dinasours because they were already gone. Science proves this. At that time they did not eat meat. Noah Built a boat at God's command. In forty days a man can travel 600.To and back give them 300 miles away from the boat.Noah had a wife three sons and their wives.If they worked inpairs and finished the boat at the same time as fetching the animals They cover 90 miles. In perspective noahs world was not as big as ours it only goes as far as he can walk. So he would only have to get land animals in his area.and air animals but not water animals. Telling the sex's animals is difficult if you have god telling you.As for 'poop' the same as columbus. over the side it goes. As for the carnivors. Humans are mammals and eat meat now. Even though the cats eat meat know you don't know what they ate then. A mammal can get all there nutrisional values nearly the same as cow and that goes for the cats too. There is physical proop of noahs' flood somewhere But I forgot what it was. As for the peoples faces at the time of the tower of babel the people were forced to speek in foreign tounges so they moved off. Since so much time has passed since then humans have addapted to the particular climate they wandered to. I knnow story has afew gaps so maybe you should try to answer your own questions. Do you even believe in god? If you don't then you should stop trying to convince yourself the bible is to contradictive to be true.Somebody might believe your not so sure of your position on god and the bible.

    Homosexuals don't need to rationalize being a christian. There are two steps to being a christian.1) Accept Christ into your heart. 2)Believe that christ died to forgive your sins. Being a good christian takes a little bit of work though. 1) See the bad things that you do. 2)Become conscous every time you do something that jesus taght you not to do. 3) Begin to slowly take the bad actions from your life. If it takes ayear for you to stop swearing but you work at it and evetually do you are being a good christian. 4) After eliminating the action Eliminate the words. 5) After this you still not finished you must begin to eliminate wrong thoughts. No one can become a perfect christian that is why we put our trust in christ.

    Afew years ago I was trapped. I didn't know what to believe so over the past few years I have come to realise in order to turely understand the world that I would have to accept everything as it is because to prove one thing true and all others false is impossible unless your one of those who has a supreme understanding of the universe worked out to a mathematical equation. If you did you would probably all ready know that every thing must be true because if some thing is false then it must not exist. As for world religions when your studying one religion accept it's views and beliefs as true just don't try to push it of on others because their trying to come frome the point of view of their own religion. When you get tired of one religion you have to deside to make a go of it and find out what your supposed to believe and prove it for yourself or prove something else. In my case I christian but when I study bhuddism I simply believe what the bhuddist believe other wise studying buddism will leave with a bunch of confusing facts that all contradict each other. Believe every thing in it's own perspective.
