Seriously! One woman said to me that she did not care that her argument is circular. It seems that most Christians simply do not know how to state a logical argument, nor care.
Its like they are saying that 2+2 =3.

then in the end I lose nothing. But if there is a God like I say, in the end an atheist would lose everything, right? So why even risk it? As if believing in God is a horrible thing to do?

Eternity is a long time to be wrong. Why would you want to gamble with something as important as your eternal destiny? It takes only a moment to trust Christ for your salvation. There will be an eternity of pain and regret if you don't.

You don't take chances with guns do you? You don't take chances and run red lights do you? Why would you take a chance on something that is far more important than these? Don't take a chance on something eternal. It isn't worth it.

We all know it is a fact that religious importance and IQ are negativly correlated, such as in uneducated areas, but do you think it is religion that lowers IQ or is it a low IQ that causes the need for religion in the first place.

Hello everyone. I am looking for a free psychic reading. I know I'm going to get alot of stupid responses, but don't knock someone else's beliefs. I am not an idiot, I don't get taken in by scams (Notice how I'm not offering any money?)
Bascially, my life is in crisis, and I need a good, honest psychic to give me a little insight and help.

Thanks!

How come people always say "Jesus H. Christ"? Why not Jesus Q. Christ or Jesus R. Christ or something else? Does the H really stand for something?

In a past question I was told atheists choose eternal torture in hell for not believing in god. So, if a christian is tortured by a Muslim (not killed) for not converting to Islam it is the christian deciding to be tortured? If they were given a chance to convert before the torture began. Or is that logic wrong, and atheists don't go to hell.

How is it from reading the 10 commandments that you get the idea God is telling you to do whatever you feel like doing? Would it then equally be ok to disregard the constitution, because according to you, we should not have to follow laws that don't fit into our own personal way of thinking. Since you prefer Hebrew scriptures, Proverbs 3:5, 6 teaches us to put our trust in Jehovah not our own understanding. Jeremiah 10:23 teaches that God must guide our steps. Jeremiah 17:9 teaches that our hearts are treacherous and not reliable guides. How is it you believe only in parts of the bible and not the rest of it? The Greek scriptures support the Hebrew and the entire bible is the word of God. So, I ask you, who really are you insulting? For those of you who think that you should always trust your own thinking, are you saying that you have never asked anyone for advice? If God intended for us to just go with what we feel on everything then why make rules in the first place?

The following is an actual question given on a University of Washington chemistry mid-term. The answer by one student was so "profound" that the professor shared it with colleagues, via the Internet, which is, of course, why we now have the pleasure of enjoying it as well.

Most of the students wrote proofs of their beliefs using Boyle's Law (gas cools off when it expands and heats up when it is compressed) or some variant. One student, however, wrote the following:

"First, we need to know how the mass of Hell is changing in time. So we need to know the rate that souls are moving into Hell and the rate they are leaving. I think that we can safely assume that once a soul gets to Hell, it will not leave. Therefore, no souls are leaving.

As for how many souls are entering Hell, let's look at the different religions that exist in the world today. Most of these religions state that if you are not a member of their religion, you will go to Hell.

Most the time when people talk about what God is they just give a list of negative traits or 'all' traits like
-invisible (light passes right though)
-immortal (not mortal)
-all knowing (in contrast with human's limited knowledge)
-all powerful (in contrast with human's limited power)

etc . . .

And when a logical inconsistancy is pointed out--the believer just ignores it or alters his/her definition of God a bit.

In other words god is defined at that which is beyond human limits and comprehension. I can believe that stuff exists beyond human limits and comprehension but I don't think that whatever it is is properly called a 'god'. At least not a 'god' that shows the very human traits of love and wrath and jealousy.

So what is a god--besides the sum of what is beyond human limits and comprehension (which is getting smaller all the time) mixed with a few human traits and emotions?
