I mean, did ALL of God's creation get punished for the sins of humankind?

It doesn't seem fair that everything was perfect "in the beginning" and just because humans messed that up, then everything became imperfect. And if it's not imperfect, then why is there a need for change when perfection, by its defintion, does not need to be changed or improved?

For me, I think God is real and loves us. We are All sinners, but I think God gives us blessings even for the smallest things and I think there aren't enough who thank him for it. Many ask for God if they want something, but never had the though of thanking him, even just a thought like "I should pray because God I thank him for....."
like that stuff, I think even if you pray or not, at least you had the thought of thanking God for the other things. You could just talk to him in your head (Like me I believe that since he is God, he know's what I'm thinking so I just thank him in my head) or I pray........I pray because I ask for forgiveness, thank him, and talk to him like a real friend. I talk to him about my issues, my personal experiance and so on. I think if you talk to God how you feel, you will relized that God is just like us. Except the part he is the only "Perfect" one. I think the Bible was made to encourage Man, however time by time Man changes things in the Bible.

Is transubstitution too big a word for you to understand? At least they don't eat Mary with the wine. At least their communion is REAL, and not water down grape juice symbolic going through the motions like most protestants. And Atheist, no bloody Mary jokes, your minds are too reprobate to understand spiritual things any way, praise Jesus.

Words like :
pin -bin
six-sex
tin-ten
hole-hall
Because for me , these words and many more , are the same . I wouldn't know the difference if I hear them . And I sure wouldn't know how to pronounce them differently . Ofcourse I know the difference in meaning , but I am talking about the pronunciation .
Usually , I tell them apart from the context , but if they were pronounced in isolation , I wouldn't know anything .
Is it the same with you ?

Take a look at the roots of your faith, you probably have it simply because you were raised that way or because you needed consoling that religion can offer, that's not a problem. However you have no proof your faith is right. So how can you ever try to disprove any other faith? When I ask why you believe without any solid evidence all I get is "That's what faith is for." Ok, so you're admitting you don't have evidence, good. So if you admit you don't have evidence how can you reasonably state that your religion is more likely than anyone elses? It's all BELIEF, so to me God is just as likely to be real as Zues and Poseidon and Hermes and Hera and the rest of that crew. No one can disprove that old religion either, and yet you would call it foolish for some one to believe it. My point and question is why should you acted like a bigot against other religions if you really just have faith not proof and why would you close your mind to any other religion with equally nonexistant proof?

This of course assumes you have atheist friends, which I'm sure many on this site do.

If I knew that one of my friends was about to be sent to prison and tortured I would do anything I could to prevent it.

How can you live knowing that your atheist friends will spend eternity in torment? Why do you not spend every hour of every day trying to convince them to convert?

Surely you can't just accept it as their right to have an opinion when they are condemning themselves to eternal damnation? Unless of course you don't actually care about them.

I am Kazakh by nationality and am deeply upset by Ali G's Borat show. Kids laugh behind my back in school although most people are to polite to laugh in my face. I know people find the show hilarious, but my question is: is it really that enjoyable? and is it fair to laugh about people of a different nationality?

For any Atheists who wish to answer I actually have 3 questions:

First, what exactly do you believe-- do you think there is any higher power at all?
Secondly,where do you go when you die, if anywhere?
Thirdly, When did you become an Atheist?

I appreciate any answers, since I don't personally know any Atheists, except for a couple friends back in high school who never really answered my questions. Thanks!

Books are subject to human forgery.

Books require 'interpretation'.

For example, the Bible's "Tho shalt not kill". Does that mean ever, even in defense? Or "turn the other cheek". Does this mean even in the face of a war party that just killed all the people in the neighboring village? You gonna let your kids be killed?

How about the Quran's "Fight all people who do not believe in Allah". Is this only for back then or a command for eternal genocide on people who dont submitt to Islam? Or how about another chapter in the Quran that Muslims use to counter the previous, where it tells muslims (Surah 2) to fight them but not to kill the innocents. Who are the innocents? All muslims innocents but not non-muslims? The Quran doesnt say so you have many interpretations, some proclaiming religious genocide, other saying "that was not meant for today and innocents means anyone, muslim or not".

So, a book is a totally imperfect medium...could God have done better..right?
