In this forum I have found, that all the time non chrstians manage to bring home their arguments much convincingly with more than sufficient information to back up their arguments. Where as the christians always try to hide behind the word "God" - no enough support to justify their arguments. Am I right?

I asked who would and got a resounding "no". Im not religious at all and would easily give up my life to save all of mankind. What gives?
Jesus died on a cross so that we can be forgiven of our sins, right? I bet the're are people reading this who would have done the same. Jesus got to trade his life to save all of mankind.
There are people who would trade their life to save the life to save just 1 person. Is the firefighter not more ultraistic?
With billions of people in the world someone must have sacraficed more than he, right? Why does jesus get all the fame?

You can believe in creation, the big bang, evolution, etc. What other theories are out there? I, personally, as a Christian, am firmly planted in my beliefs, but I like to have all the information I can. What do you believe and why?

and has already written the book of life, then how is it possible to have free will?

if the book of life was written before we all existed then does that mean that it is futile to try and get others to believe as you do?

(A link to an Anthropology/ Sociology/ Life Science journal on this topic would help as a credible reference.)

What is the biology of race, if there is one? What exactly gives someone a 'race' besides the human race?

I don't mean culture or heritage. I know what those are.

Why do the words Black, White, and Ethnic replace a person's respective culture or nationality?

Every day was recorded in your book!" [Psalm 139:16] "

This confuses me. This means that God has planned every single detail of my life - from the minute I am born, to the minute I expire.

If this is the case, does that not mean that prayer is useless? I mean, God has it all planned out - so if I am going to die from some disease, whats the point in praying about it? Also, if God has this all planned out, then does that not mean that every abortion is God's plan? He knew when the fetus was to be concieved, and He knows when it is to be aborted then, if the Bible is true. That being the case, does this also mean that the woman having the abortion and doctor performing the abortion are blameless, as it is God's plan? Hitler killing millions of Jews - God's plan?? Any murderer at all then, according to this belief, is not sinning - they are acting out a part of God's plan. The person they killed - God had that planned.

Anyone else trip over these points too??

I'm not looking for theological responses - I want to know how you see yourself spending eternity, if you believe in the concept. Are you "up there" somewhere, outside the universe? Are you a spirit? What are you doing? Is it peaceful? Loving? Beautiful?

I have noticed something interesting, and I'd just like to point it out. This will ruffle some feathers, as usual, but oh well.

The atheists here have a very firm grasp on the beliefs of Christians and other religions. Even the believers don't refute what the atheists say about them. They just say they feel sorry for us because we don't believe the way they do.

On the other hand, when these believers attempt to attack or criticize the atheists, they make it abundantly clear that they don't have a clue what atheists truly "believe". They tend to create strawmen and/or criticize things that have nothing to do with atheism. (IE: Atheists hate god, or atheists reject god so they can be immoral, or atheists have been "hurt" by god so now they lash out, etc)

I find it interesting that there's such a difference between the two groups. Agreed?

Final round.

If all of my previous questions are truly believed (minus the sarcasm), then why is it so difficult for theists to believe that science is able to answer the seemingly obscure, absurd, and seemingly insurmountable questions of the universe? If a bush can burn and talk, or if a man can rise from the grave, why can't a universe start with a bang, or why is it so difficult to believe that creatures can evolve from different forms???

What is that?? something wrong with you guys??

But in Islam, even though there are sunni, syiah and more other sect..

I hate to admit it, but I have had negative thoughts about certain ethnic groups and I don't like it when I do it but it seems a tendency for many people. Do most people simply have a subconscious inclination to feel their particular ethnic/racial/national group is better than all the others? I really don't want to a prejudiced person and I irritate myself whenever I have a prejudiced thought or feeling. I wonder if any of you feel like I do. Be honest, I think most people have prejudices but don't want to admit it. But admission that there IS a problem is the first step toward solving it.
