The word "atheist" itself is still involved in "theism".

The word "secular" is not, isn't it? What do you prefer?

That is part of the protestant theology. If protestantism gives all the authority to he bible. Why doesn't the bible specifically say anywhere that we should accept Jesus al Lord and Savior ,but rather it says that we obtein salvation by faith in him?. And also what about the sinners prayer. It also says nowhere that we obtain salvation through it.

The grave looks like a coffin made of stone and has an engraved symbol...I know what it means (it's connected with old christian and masonic symbols etc.) but I want to know if anyone seen sth like that because I'd like to know if somewhere exists another grave that can be connected to the one I'm telling you about

(Serious replies only, please.)
Everyone is always asking me what nationality I am. This has occurred ever since I can remember. Many people have emailed me asking this question, & the other day while in line at a store I had yet another person ask this. Guesses are anywhere from Swedish to Hispanic to Middle Eastern.
I do not look exotic or have an accent that would imply that I am from somewhere else, so why does this keep happening?

How can people who don't really consider themselves to be involved with a religion convert to Shinto. Not sure if convert is the correct word.

Will someone explain their understanding of this? I feel I am always torn between both perhaps. This has always eluded me.

I'm not just referring to knowledge that there is a God. I'm also referring to a means of understanding and realizing God's real identity.

In the interest of creating a database of questions and answers I asked atheists and agnostics what their purpose is in life with this question here:
http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AuF9apqpOGoC6zZSSfz_PQvsy6IX?qid=20060807094526AAidt8N

Despite the one or two theists who wanted to tell me I need God, there are over 25 really solid good answers from people.

Some say they have no purpose but life to try and make others they love happy; many said their purpose was to help humanity and its knowledge base.

So my question for theists is, now that you have read the atheists and agnostics answers, do you have a better understanding for the atheists and agnostics purpose in life?

My intent here is not to start a God war, and read a bunch of answers telling me I and other atheists and agnostics need to have God or we have a purpose in life, because I just illustrated that many atheists and agnostics do.
