I just watched a video,"My First Mister," with Albert Brooks. It was so deep, and very moving. It was not a movie of sex, but of connecting with another person...emotionally and spiritually. Who was YOUR first mister?

Would you choose to live in hell rather than be parted with your loved ones?

Is god more important to you than Love? Are you married, have children? Do they know you'd abandon them in hell so you can get to heaven?

I think theists shoot themselves in the foot with this one. If there is anyone who is *less* likely to form rational views about the existence of a deity than someone who believes death is imminent, I'd like to know who it is. People who use this argument are saying that the most likely cause of religious belief is fear - Maybe they're right! However, far from being a good reason to believe in the existence of a deity, it's a good reason not to - precisely because such a belief is motivated by emotion, i.e. wishful thinking, rather than rational thought. And it should be noted that it's not even true, of course - There are plenty of people who have been involved in wars who were, are, and always have been atheists.

So, does anyone still think that the "No atheists in a foxhole" kind of argument is a good one for theists to trot out?

They have to brainwash their women into wearing veils in order to protect themselves from their men. Do the muslim men have no self control that they can't resist temptation to see a woman's hair or body?
Why do muslim women have to protect themselves from men. If there was any kind of protection going on, shouldn't the man be the one protecting the woman?

I admit I do! Sometimes I just want to get as many opinions as I can on something, so I hope that by putting the answer out there again I'll get more bites.

The Bible is not a reliable guide to Christ’s teachings. Mark, the oldest of the Gospels, was written at least 30 years after Christ’s death, and the newest of them might have been written more than 200 years after his death. These texts have been amended, translated, and re-translated so often that it’s extremely difficult to gauge the accuracy of current editions—even aside from the matter of the accuracy of texts written decades or centuries after the death of their subject. This is such a problem that the Jesus Seminar, a colloquium of over 200 Protestant Gospel scholars mostly employed at religious colleges and seminaries, undertook in 1985 a multi-year investigation into the historicity of the statements and deeds attributed to Jesus in the New Testament. They concluded that only 18% of the statements and 16% of the deeds attributed to Jesus had a high likelihood of being historically accurate. So, in a very real sense fundamentalists—who claim to believe in the literal truth of the Bible—are not followers of Jesus Christ; rather, they are followers of those who, decades or centuries later, put words in his mouth.

19. The Bible, Christianity’s basic text, is riddled with contradictions. There are a number of glaring contradictions in the Bible, in both the Old and New Testaments, and including some within the same books. A few examples:

". . . God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man."
(James:1:13)
"And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham."
(Genesis 22:1)

". . . for I am merciful, saith the Lord, and I will not keep anger forever."
(Jeremiah 3:12)
"Ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn forever. Thus saith the Lord."
(Jeremiah 17:4)


"If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true."
(John 5:31, J.C. speaking)
"I am one that bear witness of myself . . ."
(John 8:18, J.C. speaking)

and last but not least:


"I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
(Genesis 32:30)
"No man hath seen God at any time."
(John 1:18)
"And I [God] will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts . . ."
(Exodus 33:23)

Christian apologists typically attempt to explain away such contradictions by claiming that the fault lies in the translation, and that there were no contradictions in the original text. It’s difficult to see how this could be so, given how direct many biblical contradictions are; but even if these Christian apologetics held water, it would follow that every part of the Bible should be as suspect as the contradictory sections, thus reinforcing the previous point: that the Bible is not a reliable guide to Christ’s words.

I am not familiar with the Fire Dept rank structure. I am wondering: if you've been on the fire dept for...let's say......16 years shouldn't you at least be a Lt or Capt or at a minimum, a Driver or sernior driver?

I know someone with this length of time in at the Fire Dept and he's achieved the rank of Fire Fighter. He recently admitted that he'd had some personal issues where ex wife or former lover/girlfriend called the Dept and made some false allegations against him. He refused to divulge if he recvd any disciplinary action as a result. I can't help but wonder (now that I've been exposed to some of his BS) now if he hasn't risen in rank due to his bad attitude/behaviors versus discrimmination.

Does the Dept have policies that can cause you to not be promoted when you have personal issues?

If you believe in the existence of a god who created this universe then everything in it is his work, including the evidence for evolution, whereas the bible is undeniably the work of man. Why would a believer want to reject the evidence of their god's handiwork and believe other men instead? Isn't that heresy, or something?

It is inconceivable that the complexity we see in the physical universe, and particularly in living organisms, could just exist fully formed without cause. No rational person denies this premise.

The same reasoning also rules out the idea that this complexity is sourced in an eternal intelligent creator which itself exists fully formed without cause.

The only remaining possibility is that the universe had a natural, not a supernatural origin, and that galaxies, stars, planets and living organisms gradually arose out of simplicity and chaos by the action of unthinking, undirected natural processes. This conclusion from straightforward reason is supported by objective evidence from cosmology and biology - i.e. the big bang and evolution.

So, the existence of an intelligent 'creator' is a logical impossibility - Intelligence is a product of the universe, not the other way round. How can theists believe that complexity and intelligence just exist from nowhere? It's a nonsense.

a.) God as a separate entity. He rules in Heaven and demands our worship. For those who praise His name, they will achieve eternal bliss.

b.) God – the union of all things created. He exist in His creation. Consequently, you wouldn't have to love and worship God as a separate entity; you just had to love your fellow man as you love yourself and that would suffice.
