Society & Culture - 10 August 2006

I think the responses to this pair of questions will demonstrate the truth of the matter quite clearly....

To the Christians: What would it take to convince you that the Bible is false -- the superstitious beliefs of a scientifically primitive Bronze Age culture?

To the atheists: what would it take to convince you that the Bible is true -- the divinely inspired Word of the Almighty Creator of the Universe?

We see so many conservatives wanting to keep America safe and touting the death of civilians in far away lands to ensure our safety over here. Why would someone who claims so ferverently to be Christian be so afraid of death? They'll just go to heaven, won't they? Or does this fear mean they're not 100% sure in their beliefs, which would also automatically mean they are not truly Christians and would be cast into hell.

Agnostic here, not trying to disconvert anyone, just asking,

There was a Viking King Canute who had many followers who thought he was God. One servant said but great king you command even the tides. He ordered them to the shore where he commanded the tide not to come in. They waited.
That was the Greatest Day in all their lives, their "God" did not control nature. I wonder what did their faces look like, did their eyes light up?

Could today be the greatest day of your life?

www.talkorigins.org perhaps?

I wish you could have seen the look on my face when I was told Jesus or Evolution and I stormed out of there no longer plugged into that cult of a religion.
That was the Greatest Day of my entire Life, the day I stopped believing in Jesus.

Can one live authentic life and believe in God, I suppose one can. But to those who say I lead an inathentic life for believing in Evolution and no God, I love you, my life is a happy one filled with purpose and joy. Blessed be.

I wonder how many of you get nervous from the word 'sex'? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? And if so, then why? Sex is a perfectly natural thing, without sex there would be no life.

OK my personal beliefs are: i believe in a being that at least had some part in creating life as we know it today. If you choose to call that being God then so be it, then in your words i believe in a God. i do not believe that God is all powerful, nor do i believe that God punishes people here on earth for "sins" man made up. i do NOT believe in the Bible. i think it is a man made evil creation that most people use as a shield to behave as badly as they want in "Gods" name. i do believe in a heaven; but to me heaven is achieving peace within yourself either before or after you die. And i believe in hell - we are living it right now. it's our test to see if we get to achieve our heaven.
So ok to stop my rhetoric and get to the main question. What am i? Agnostic, atheist, religious? i usually tell people i am agnostic; but i am wondering if that is the right term. So just want opinions as to what people would say i am. Don't waste time quoting the bible, i won't read those answers

Humans made paper, and then wrote on it. They didn't muck up some counterfeit radioactive carbon and then infuse it into everything everywhere in infinitely subtle degrees of degradation, roughly corresponding to sedimentary layers, but not excluding special consideration of local tectonic anomalies. Think about it...

I was a Christian for a while but I had major problems with a lot of things in the Bible. So I thought that the problems in the Bible don't mean that Jesus was not God - but I don't believe that the Creator is a man (or a woman) and I don't believe that the Great Spirit would come to earth as a man and have twelve men as apostles as that has been used to reinforce prejudice against women and I know that men and women are equal (even the Bible says men AND women were created in the likeness of God).

If you have stopped being a Christian, what made you change?

It's because as the Sun developed and the earth cooled, the different elements began to go through chemical changes and alter their states to go through a process of evolving into life that could be sustained on the earth. Back then the sun was still not the right temperature for the variety of creatures we have now but it was developing, over time as the sun changed temperatures more life developed and evolved.

No life formed on the moon, mars, because the conditions were not correct for forming life. This isn't a God item, this is a science territory.

So why didn't God create life on the moon or Mars if he's so powerful again?

I have a question for people who believe in God but aren't saved yet. I'm not trying to force anything on you or nothing but I want to know when you say that you will be saved later because you aren't ready yet. How will you know when you are ready? What exactly are you waiting on? Shouldn't you seek the Lord while he is near? When you could you wouln't, now you want to and you can't.......

"Why do you wake up every morning?" Because I'm a living animal, and that's how we do things.

"Who created the sunset?" No one. That's just how the Big Bang plasma acts in response to the laws of physics.

"Why do you keep breathing?" Krebs cycle. Etc...
