I am an atheist and i am not asking to bash you, I simply want to understand why you believe what you do. Maybe I am missing something, so please fill me in if I am, but I don't see how you could believe some of things in the bible.

Jehovah's Witness ritualistically seem to find their way to my door step.

Or ritualistically try to get others to convert?

Another question related to my prior question. If you go to heaven and suddenly find yourself "perfect", what will distinguish you from your god? Isn't your god the only thing that's truly perfect in your religion? Furthermore, how do you define "perfect"? You mean all the ugly Christians will suddenly be a delight to behold?

Think about it;

God apparently created everything. Thus God created Satan. I would've thought that to be a bad decision but let me finish.

God is apparently omnipotent, AND omniscient. That is, all-powerful and all-knowing. So surely he knew Lucifer was going to be evil, no?


Anyway, long story short, turns out that God created evil and continues to allow it to thrive. So is it really a bad thing?

if so, explain.

It's not unusual for people to be converted to Christianity or other religions after they spend enough time around religious people.

But does it ever go the other way? Can anyone give me an example of a religious person who was talked into atheism? What was it that convinced them?!

Note: I'm not referring to people who lost the faith for private reasons, nor to people who just became agnostics. I'm talking about religious people who talked to atheists, considered their views, then switched to atheism.

This was part of an answer to my last question about going to heaven -

"and heaven won't be boring, there will be sports, paintball, anything good that you can think of, it'll be there."

So, like, playing paintball FOREVER won't get boring?! Let me emphasize that eternity is a very, very, very long time. Even if you work your way through paintball and every sport known to man, what will you do then? Take up needlepoint?

On a scale of 1-10, what would you rate your faith in God to be? Plus, why are you such a poor/big believe in God?

When researchers need to develop a drug or medication that will ultimately benefit multitudes of people, they turn to certain animals for tests and trials.

Animals have provided us with many answers regarding a vast amount of human diseases of illnesses over the years. As a famous ad once said: "They've saved more lives than 911."

For those of you who are opposed to all forms of animal testing, would you please give suggestions or alternatives to these methods? I'm sure many of you already have some good ideas.

in referring this promise of the coming "helper" to Mohammed?

Muslim scolars see in this reference of promised "Helper"(paracletos) a prediction of Muhammed, because the Quran (Surah 61:6 ) refers to Mohammed as "Ahmad" ( periclytos) which they take to be the correct rendering of "paracletos".
