Considering God is not of the Earth and has no genitalia(does it?) and is, by the general understanding, sexless.
If it's a question of respect, surely an all knowing God would KNOW if one were to use the term in a derogatory way? Or is it to simply sate the opinions of others, who ASSUME disrespect?

If Jesus is born of a virgin (some try to say virgin = young woman, but here it is literal since he was supposed to be conceived by the holy spirit and not any human) as the basic Christian belief claims, then he is not the biological son of Joseph, and thus he is not descended from David in fulfillment of the prophecy for Messiahship. So either he was born of virgin and not the Messiah or he was an illegitimate child with no miracle to his birth but was the Messiah. And then he was not son of God... which breaks down the trinity, right?

And their spiritual corruption?

Why is there no record in the bible of Jesus saying anything against abortion, or infanticide, or homosexuality?

Or the exploitation of women & children?

How can I help people see what Christ was saying without offending? I do not believe in Christ as a savior, period. But that doesn't mean that I don't find his teachings to be valuable, and even benevolent, and in fact I do. (right up until, only through me can you attain the kingdom of heaven) How is it that I can see this, not being a Christian, and Christians can't, don't, or won't. (Granted this does not apply to all Christians, just what seems to be the majority.)

5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a certain man clothed in linen, whose waist was girded with gold of Uphaz! 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like torches of fire, his arms and feet like burnished bronze in color, and the sound of his words like the voice of a multitude.
7 And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision; but a great terror fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.

Daniel 10:5-7 (NKJV)

14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

Revelation 1:14-15 (NKJV)

Women believe in God because they want to feel safe

They feel that a man can protect them better than a woman

That's why there's more women in church and far more male Atheists than female Atheists

1. People have stopped socializing with me when they discovered i'm an Atheist

2. Several people refuse to even talk to me after they discovered i'm an Atheist

3. So many God believers(I would say 75%) Wouldn't want to befriend an Atheist

4. Because of the way they're treating Atheists, they're starting to make some Atheists resent God believers

5. YOU DONT WANT TO PISS OFF 80% OF THE TOP
SCIENTISTS

6. Through history, Atheists have already proved that they can become rulers of God believers land

7. THE LAST THING GOD BELIEVERS WANT TO DO IS PUSH A MAD ATHEIST SCIENTIST TO THE POINT OF INSANITY

BE NICE OR ELSE

For instance, " I know like,3 words to this song I heard one time but I really really need to know who sings it"
Or, "Can you give me directions From Walla Walla to Katmandu"
Or, "My dog quit breathing 5 days ago, do you think its dead"
Seriously people, This is a great resource to gain knowledge, quit wasting time on crap you could easily figure out for yourself!

Why do we feel that we have to use infantile expressions (mostly from America I'm afraid) such as A.K.A. (Also known as) when we have the proper term Alias. We also now use STD (Sexually transmitted disease) when we mean VD (venereal disease). Let's return to using the correct terms for these thinsg (and many others) and not import trans-atlantic expressions intended to be used and understood by the academically and intellectually destitute.

One of the most common arguments about abortion comes from the Ten Commandments, where we are told "Thou Shalt Not Kill." But this begs the question of "kill what?" Does this commandment mean we cannot kill anything, even a fly? No. It means we should not kill another human being. Of course, the Fundamentalist believes a pre-born fetus is the same as a full-term human being. God, however, does not. In Exodus 21:22-25 we read that if a man accidentally kills a pregnant woman, that man should be condemned for committing murder. However, if he only kills the fetus - that is, if she miscarries - he is not condemned for murder. Clearly, then, God does not consider the pre-born fetus as being the same as a human being, in which case the Commandment of "Thou Shalt Not Kill (a human)" does not apply.
