Ubuntu is based on the idea that I am because we are. It also means that I can not be if there are no other people to acknowledge my beingness. This sounds like an externally motivate system which works on the basis on an exteranal reward system of the carrot and stick model.

I SAY HELL YES.
For those people, even some atheists, who say 'well, to each there own. blah blah, why should you care what they think', I say, why should they be allowed to brainwash people into a nonsensical mythology? Sitting back and watching it happen is immoral. It's the same reason why I wouldn't sit back while someone was trying to convert people to Fascism.

If god exist(which he doesn't) he probably has more respect for atheists for not playing a selfish better safe then sorry game with his existence. I always hear christians say "If im wrong, I have nothing to lose". Yea right. What if you're pissing god off for playing a selfish game with his existence and he sends you to hell for it. Atleast atheist aren't just trying to get over on god. If god exist(which he doesn't), he's smart enough to know that you're only say ing you believe out of fear. I wouldn't want anyone to believe in me because of fear. That's not true belief. It's a game. Being the fact that god deny's his own creation, he probably can relate to atheists better anyway.

Since there is, quite literally, hundreds of thousands of peer-reviewed evidence and proof for evolution. There is however, only one outdated book of bronze-age jewish mythology supporting creationism.
I'll address the common lies told by creationists to get the ball rolling;
1-"There are no transitional fossils. " One of the biggest lies told by creationists. There are THOUSANDS of transitional fossils. Here are some good sites that demonstrate this fact;
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-transitional.html

2- "Evolution is only a theory" A true statement that is twisted by creationists to make it look like even though it's a theory, it's not true. Read what THEORY means in science please;
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/evolution-fact.html

3-"macroevolution has never been observed" again, a lie. Here is the link;

So, please, educate yourselves about what you know nothing before you answer ok? Thanks.

Jesus in one one of his rants claims to a crowd that some of them will still be alive when he returns (in Glory). Has anyone met a 2,000 year old contemporary of Jesus ? If not then wasn't he either A; wrong or B: a liar or C: a nut His apostles died in expectation - they believed he meant in thier lifetime by soon -

They think they found the Ark. Great. I am a Classics Major, and have participated in Archaeological digs. I appreciate any bit of history. Aha! Keyword there- history. Just because you found something that could be an ark does not prove God exists. I'm sorry. The bible was written by man, therefore is loaded with flaws and corruption. It is mans interpretation of what was supposed to be God's word. Therefore, it is WRITTEN HISTORY. Of course some of the stories hold truths, because they were written by men! Of course they will include something like a MASSIVE FLOOD. It still doesn't prove God exists. It could prove there was a massive flood(which we already know has happened on several occasions..melting of the ice caps, perhaps?) and "Noah" built it to stay safe. And, maybe Noah did exist. Do you know him personally? I don't. He could have been a raving lunatic listenign to voices in his head, or had seizures (remember your nice 'friend' Saul? I mean Paul? Those were seizures!)

I have a pendant resembling a wheel with what I gather to be the 8 symbols of Buddhism (one is a lotus, one is a fish I think).
Can anyone tell me what their meaning are?
Thanks.

This is why, i am athesit. I dont believe in all that crap, because it limits personal freedom, and if you think about it, none of it makes sense. Even if there is a god, hes a prick, for letting all this bad **** happen, if he is all mighty and powerful, then why doesnt he just make the world a utopia, and why even have us put on the planet? Why not just start us off in his so called "heaven?"

Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is said to be unforgivable. Please be cautious in your answers.

When I was a kid in high school it was a bright spring day. I was young, healthy and free; filled with the joy of just being alive. I spoke the words "Allah Akbar". I had no clue what that meant or where they came from, other than as a pure expression of joy. I wrote them down so I would remember and took a lot of time searching for what they meant. (This was way before the internet, and foreign language dictionaries are hard to come by in a small Kansas town.) Eventually I found the words are Arabic and mean "God is great."

You actually thought your money(10% of your income) was going to god. Would you feel soooo stupid? What if that's just the beginning. What if you discovered that God doesn't even exist after you have prayed twice a day for 50 years. That's a lot of waisted time.

I am an Athiest. That does not mean I am lost or lonley or depressed or sad or waiting to be saved. I have faith...in myself. I know love...I love myself, my family and my friends. I am truly happy without believeing in a God. Why is this so hard to understand? If you want to believe in God, please do whatever makes you happy. Believe in the Tooth Fairy if you want I don't care. Just please try to understand not everyone is the same. Not everyone wants to believe the way you do.


And to all of you who will say "you will go to hell" if you don't believe:

I have led a good life and if there is a God as you say and I stand before him in judgement and he sends me to hell just for not worshiping him, then I still will know I made the right decision. That is not a God I would want to worship.
