In truth though it is God that would define what is truly missing the mark. Ignoring a creator's instruction or otherwise disobedience (as is the same with parents and children) is sin. Disobedience to higher authority in general leads to hardships, disharmony, destruction (or otherwise missing what is meant or the best choice in life for us individually provided the instruction given is one of benefit or as with most parents = given out of love).

Only one person answered if they believe that Moses parted the Red Sea and that the Earth was created in six days. Now I find that interesting.

Sounds like his disciples drank too many spirits that day.

They all disappoint...eventually.

her devastatingly superior intellect and leadership abilities.

we'll rename the Holy Wars and Crusades the Human Nature Wars.

1. There are no contemporary records of Christ.
2. Nothing He ever said exists in the language He spoke; we don't know the exact wording of anything He said.
3. We don't know what year He was born in.
4. We don't know what time of year He was born in (the Book of Luke, if you believe that crap, says that the shepherds were sleeping with their flocks, so it couldn't have been winter)
5. We don't know if He was married or not (one of the non-canonical gospels speaks of him kissing Mary Magdalene on the mouth, and there's nothing in the Bible saying he wasn't married).
6. We don't know who hHis father was (obviously not Joseph; Mother Mary probably got pregnant from some other guy and came up with a story about how God inseminated her).
7. We don't know what city He was born in (the Book of Luke says Bethlehem, but many Bible scholars think He was born in Nazareth)
8. We have no idea what He looked like (coming from the part of the Middle East that borders Africa, He could have been black)

Paul believed that human beings didn't have to follow the rules of God, as long as they spread Christianity.

Do you think children having more access to guns helps or hurts?

And how do you KNOW I can't heal the sick, multiply bread, cast out demons and raise the dead? I never said that I could or couldn't, just that Jesus couldn't. Given my knowledge of modern medicine, I probably can heal the sick and raise the dead better than Jesus could. I learned how to when I got my first aid certification. It's called "CPR."

8th generation California family and a descendant of founding father William Livingston, plus Passamaquoody from Maine so I am all American and have no need much less a desire to move to Russia.

It's like a millionaire died and left a million dollars in an account with his child's name on it.

.....The question is, how do we recognize them, deal with the damage done, and prevent further damage?

WASHINGTON (AFP) – Some 700 million people worldwide, or more than all the adults of North and South America combined, think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and want to permanently move to another country, a poll showed Tuesday.

Residents of sub-Saharan African countries were the most likely to want to move abroad permanently, the polls conducted in 135 countries between 2007 and this year by Gallup showed.

On average, 38 percent of the adult population in sub-Saharan Africa, or around 165 million people, said they would up stakes and head for another country if they had the chance.

The most popular destination was the United States, where nearly a quarter of the 700 million -- around 165 million people -- said they would like to settle.

In joint second were Britain, Canada and France, each being named as the preferred destination of around 45 million people.

Thirty-five million said they would go to Spain, 30 million to Saudi Arabia, and 25 million each to Australia or Germany.

The least likely to want to emigrate were Asians -- only one in 10 Asian adults said they would move to another country.

Nearly 260,000 people aged 15 years and older were surveyed, either by phone or face-to-face, for the poll, which has a margin of error of around five percent.

I believe God created Man... but his creation is an evolution... that we would evolve over time.

.....But whether that is through the operation of God or intuition is a matter of debate. You take it on faith or you don't.

.....but I will be sober in the morning!

Well, show me an animal who can type a message on a keyboard, send it over the internet and read the reply.

Show me in the Bible where I'm not supposed to stone adulterous women and why I shouldn't suspect women in general. Show me where...
