Do you think for yourself or does some higher power think for you? Now I’m not at all religious and think for myself. I don’t need any Bible to think for me, or to guide me.

A penny for your thoughts. Do you create your own ideas or do you have no control over your own mind? If you are religious, did you create the idea that God exists in your mind, or did God do your thinking for you, and put the thought into your mind.

In other words, do you think and create ideas for yourself, or are you mentally handicapped?

Nowhere in th old testement does it say that the two are the same.

In fact, nowherei n the old testement is satan EVER mentioned.

At the same time, there is NOWHERE in the old testament that says that Lucifer is satan.

There is also no place that says that there is such a place as hell.

So, why do Christians insist on making these false connections?

So many Christians here call every little criticism an attack...aren't they over-egging the pudding a little...(that's exaggerating to you)

No offense. Just curious. Give your opinion irrespective of your faith or even if you are an atheist.

Why do they be so loud and proud of it? If you are gay, good for you, but you don't have to make it a point to let everyone know that you are.

I have nothing against gay people, but I have often seen them act in this manner, and I wanted to know why?

Okay, last night I had another weird dream about my mom. But first off, a couple weeks ago I had a dream where my mom had died. And I had to take care of the entire house because my father was too depressed. And while I was doing the dishes I just had a breakdown, cryin gout for my mom to come back. So on. Last night I had a similar dream except for my mom was just about to die. And I took this walk with her,crying balling, and then I was in the hospital with her while she died. I was screaming and crying, pleading and begging for her to stay. No one could hear me no one did anything. And both dreams I awoke at 7:00am, not my usual time. I'm just afraid of what might happen. This is really starting to scare me.

let's all be saved!

let us turn our backs on hinduism, paganism, islam, atheism, (etc) and convert without question! god wants us to! know how i know? the christians say so

lets no longer celebrate divali! i dont want to see any festival lights dedicated to some false goddess! hey! the real festival of lights is christmas! cause the bible says, jesus is the light of the world! lets no longer celebrate phagwa, or any other hindu festival, of false gods and false faiths! despite the thousands of years of study these so-called holy men put into their philosophy!

lets no longer celebrate eid ul fitr! islam is surely a lie in comparison to christianity! i will no longer accept the presents of sawine given to me by my FORMER friends who were muslims. religious tolerance must not persevere

They're always asking us atheists to explain, if their fantasy story of reality isn't true, then where did the matter in the universe come from, or what happens to us when we die, or such other pointless questions.

Why don't they understand that athiests never claimed to have all the answers, Christians did? I don't have to know where the universe did actually come from to know that your God sure didn't create it in six days only 6,000 years ago. Just because I know you're wrong doesn't mean I know what the right answer is.

I thought to post this from another question I asked, and the responses I recieved. Also from other questions and answers I have read....
When you say Jesus is God, what does that mean to you?
I read many that say t here is one God and say that Jesus is God.
I read many that say Jesus is not God because there is one God.
I read many that say, Jesus is God because the trinity is a mystery.
I would like to respectfully share my views.....
There is ONE GOD in my view.....and God is spirit.
omnipotent,(all powerful) omnicient,(all knowing) omnipresent(all present.). This very spirit manifested himself in flesh, so that he could come down and we could see him. I do not in anyway worship the flesh of Jesus, I worship spirit, which is God.
IN Jesus is the fullness of the God head bodily. ALL OF GOD
DWELT IN JESUS, Father son holyghost...Now we are members of that body and we are that flesh God chose to dwell in, and while one of us is not the fullness we together make up the body.
