Why bother looking for proof? Why bother asking for it? Why insist that you require it?
When I "lose" my keys, I don't bother searching places where I know they could not possibly be. When someone tells me to look under my bed, I say, "NO! They are not there." But I don't tell anyone that they are ignorant for thinking they might possibly be under the bed. At their house, keys might go under the bed; just not at mine.
If I searched under the bed, that would mean that I doubt myself.

What does it feel like to search for something, knowing that it could never be found?

Luke 10:21-24

Jesus Prayer of Thanksgiving
21Then Jesus was filled with the joy of the Holy Spirit and said, "O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, thank you for hiding the truth from those who think themselves so wise and clever, and for revealing it to the childlike. Yes, Father, it pleased you to do it this way.
22"My Father has given me authority over everything. No one really knows the Son except the Father, and no one really knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him."

23Then when they were alone, he turned to the disciples and said, "How privileged you are to see what you have seen. 24I tell you, many prophets and kings have longed to see and hear what you have seen and heard, but they could not."

Out of curiousity, when an non-believer dies or has to bury a loved one, do you have a funeral service? Is it held in a cemetery? Do you get cremated or buried? Because you don't believe of God's existence I assume you don't say prayers over the deceased. Do you tell stories about the deceased to remember the good times? Is there a particular person that leads the service? Do you visit the grave sight during the year and if you do, do you talk to that deceased person as is they can hear you? I was just wondering what happens to dead non-believers and what their families do for them at their death and burial. Thank you for sharing.

Believers and non-believers... how does watching that show and seeing how they choose to live their life according to religion make you feel. Do you feel empathy with them? Do you laugh at them as being rediculous? I'm curious what both sides feel about this.

I don't go around calling my friends honky, cracker, or whiteboy. I especially wouldn't if I complained about those terms offending me. Why is it racist to call them n*ggers if they call each other n*ggers?

(from a quote by John Stott)

The analysis found HAR1 is similar in all mammals except humans, the researchers said. There were only two differences in “letters” of the gene between the chicken and chimp genomes, but 18 differences between chimps and humans.

That’s an incredible amount of change to have happened in a few million years.

A monkey only has two genetic differences from being a chicken but eighteen differences from being human. It's hard to imagine a chicken being like a monkey yet they are basically the same thing on the genitec level and humans aren't anywhere near a monkey using the same comparison.

Seems like all living things are related but humans are so vastly different, what makes us so different?

This includes such things as readability, spelling, grammar, and originality. Feel free to add other characteristics of a good question and answer to the candidates.

I will not nominate people, but I would hope people nominate both believer and nonbeliever regulars.
