What happened to free will?
What if you're replacing someone that got fired?
Did God cause the person to get fired just so you can have a job?

Christians like scratching the surface but they get uncomfortable when Atheists like me start digging deep into the matter

i am an american. i do not say that i am an irish, german, cherokee american, i am simply an american. what are you? asian american, african american, latin american? to me, that is a form of racism and/or separatism and early on in american history, that is the history of the united states, someone was quoted saying "united we stand, divided we fall". i mean, arent "we" we the people of the united states of america? those of you who do not give up their roots (remember them, fine) but insist on separating yourself, are doing nothing but using my motherland for their own selfish means and have no heart with me. take pride in your country and call it home, or go "home"! as far as i am concerned, the only true americans are the american indians. they were here even before it was called america. so drop the pride and be a real part of the greatest country on earth. if you dont agree, there are many other countries to choose from. also, stop flying other county flags. u disgrace yourself!

Why, in the Lord's prayer, do we ask God not to lead us into temptation? Isn't temptation the work of Satan and not God?

Jesus is talking to the 2 churches he finds favor with. Why does the subject of fake Jews come up in both letters to these churches?

Revelations 2:9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and [I know] the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but [are] the synagogue of Satan.

Revelations 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.

Who are these fake Jews Jesus spoke of, in your opinion?

None of your doctrines established freedom of religion, democracy, nor a Bill of Rights,etc.

Your religion's beliefs have not resulted in one thing of benefit to mankind. Not one drop of water has been made safe to drink, no disease has been cured, no war has been ended by the beliefs you espouse.

Your home is not air conditioned by any invention of religion. The food that sits in your fridge is produced, transported,processed and refrigerated by technology that derives from science, not religion.

When your son falls seriously ill will it be science that provides the therapy that saves his life? Or will it be your religious doctrine?

When you sit in your church, mosque, or tabernacle, was it religious doctrine that discovered the electricity that powers the lighting therein?

Religious doctrine neither invented the internal combustion machine that you drive to worship meetings nor discovered the refined oil that powers it.

It wasn't religious dogma that stopped Hitler.

Oh and by the way, I'm gay. What I should really ask is what should come first, a relationship or college? or both? I know I have the rest of my life to find that special someone, so should I put that off until I graduate?

Or is it just the gate? Ok, I don't really believe that hell exists, the way I hear most Judeo/Christian/Muslims do. But everything has to have a place, and a beginning. So why not there? If not there, tell me where it is, or the gate.
