Society & Culture - 2 September 2006

I have experienced all sort of reactions when someone asks me if I believe and I tell them no. Sometimes the Christians are okay with it. Most of the time they think I am crazy. What do you think? Am I a nutcase to be an Atheist, and if possible please include an explanation why.

Like, during ramadan, they consider it offending if you smoke, drink or eat when they are around.

I think we are too self absorbed and out for number one. That we care too much about ourselves and our own comforts and not enough about each other. Too much self confidence and one becomes a bragging, conceited, snob whom no one can stand. Don't you agree?
Peace Be With You,

Oh please! Just because your God didn't create aliens in his image doesn't mean that's the case. Release yourself from the box you're living in and grow up. Religions are the fairy tales, not aliens. Aliens are more realistic than any god.

While the police have commercials on TV against driving drunk in their state, anyone can (without exiting the highway) stop in to a state run liquor store and get a refill on their booze!! am I the only one that thinks this is crazy?

Perhaps the most stereotypical question that will be asked all day.
But -- how else will I learn if I don't ask??

How is it that Asians often have perfect hair, skin, and thin bodies.
Is there any herbal medicine, special diet/exercise?

(I don't mean to sound like a total noob, if I do)

Read this from the Word of God - the Bible!

1 Corinthians chapter 1 verses 18 - 21

I know very well how foolish the message of the cross SOUNDS to those who are on the road to destruction. But we who are being saved recognise this message as the very power of God. As the Scriptures say,

"I will destroy human wisdom
and discard their most brilliant ideas."

(this is referring to Isaiah 29 v 14, in the Old Testament of the Bible).

So where does this leaven the philosophers, the scholars, and the world's brilliant debaters? God has made them all look foolish and has shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense. Since God in His wisdom saw to it that the world would never find Him through human wisdom, He has used our foolish preaching to save all who believe.

Please explain your answer.

Would it be an equally good or bad thing if blacks became a minority in Kenya or Jews became a minority in Israel?

Maybe the belief in god is a survival mental technique for the weak

Us Atheists dont need that. Our self confidence is all we need

if i read a book written by a god, i would expect to be filled with awe and wonder when reading every word, from beginning to end. even if it was written by man, with the god telling the man what words to write.

not only would i expect the book to do that for me, but i would expect the book to fill EVERY person who reads it with awe and wonder. everyone, not just a certain few who "believe".

the christian bible does not fill me with awe and wonder. it does not fill many, many, many others with awe and wonder. how can the christian bible be written by a god, or by man with the god telling them what to write?

5 years ago my soulmate jump over the fence to be on the other side along with my X- best friend. He could care less for his ordained marriage , his true wife, his true family and God. Marriage is what it is UNTIL DEATH. I know it to be true in my heart if my husband was truly born again , he would NOT be where he is stll today. God will being my husband back to me when he is truly born again. We know that it may NOT happen because of the free will. My husband does not want the responsibilities of being a husband to his true wife, a leader of his ORDAINED family, & a Father to our children. Now he is being two face and my christain counsellor told us that is how he can now live his life. Plus he is NOT truly repenting from his adultery retionship if he was truly repenting from it than he would return to his true one & only wife & his ordained family God gave him to have in the first place. God will deal with him one day. Meanwhile my children & I are going forward in our life .

Do homosexuals choose to be gay or are they born gay through dna or something in relation to that?

It says in the bible that you will not have a husband/wife in heaven. I don't understand why even get married then because that person that you love so much will not be your partner in heaven. I can't imagine not having my husband ( actually he is not my husband yet, but will be soon) in heaven. I'm sad that I am going to lose such a great partnership.

I have just realised that I have been signing my name in a completely different way for ages. Thank God I am not signing any credit card receipts or cheques.
I haven't a clue why it happened other than I was very ill last Spring.
Any ideas how I can turn on my old signing reflex again?
I have tried but it doesn't look right because I am thinking about it.
