How could an all forgiving, all loving god, not forgive his son/daughters after they are dead. Does he have the power to watch his children burn for eternity. Does he have the power to give another chance, or forgive him for his sin? Why watch your children get tortured. I would not do that to my father and my father would not do that for me. He would trade places.

When the celebrities get tired of raising them and the novelty of showing off how accepting of other races they are to their liberal Hollywood friends?

Do they try to un-adopt them? Or just pay their servants to take raise them?

It seems to methat most Atheists have had religious experience and have choosen not to believe in the sure and certain knowledge that they will be damned in hell, does this require/denote a higher level of 'goodness' and courage to reject 'God and the Church' whilst still maintaining our morales and trying to live their lives in peace?

There are times when we need to sit with strangers, and 8 out of 10 would smell REALLY bad. You would want to move to another seat, but you also don't want to insult them by doing that. So what's up with smelly ppl? Do they even take a bath?

If I or anyone choses to believe that life is not meaningless or a cosmic accident, that there is a force that created everything and that force love all of us,and that force calls its self God, and that force want us to live life in a way that is unharmful to our self and others, what is so wrong with that? If i want to share that belief, why try to destroy that hope I offer?

As for the second alternative is that, while we agree in general with your proposal, we would like to propose that the production cut is not to be applied to the region considering the current psychological and political situation in that region. Since it only makes up 3 % of the total, this may not have a significant change in the company impact target AIMED AT the market.

I often have the feeling that (many) atheists look down on those who believe in a God as less intelligent people who act as sheep and believe in fairy tales.

I used to be an atheist myself before reverting to Islam and I was aware that many atheists thought they were superior to religionists

Is this true? Do atheists really think like that?


If you see me now dressed like a Muslim woman do you see me as having else braincells than when I was dressed like a western woman? Has my personality changed? Do you have a different stereotype of me now?

Sometimes when I'm sitting on the toilet trying to take a poo, I just can't squeeze it out! I know God will help me out with this, I'd just like to know a specific constipation prayer I can recite. It would mean a lot if someone could help me out. :)

God bless!

Okay, just today I was going to this daycare for kids to pick up my cousin. And when we got there I overheard one of the daycare counselors or workers talking about one of the kid's mom and dad died in some car accident or something. I didn't hear the rest of the conversation as I had to leave after picking up my cousin. Seriously, I'm not making this up. I was pondering the thought in the car. How do you tell a kid his parents died. I mean it really made me depressed and sad for him. I almost got tearful over it. Some kids don't understand death. It's just really sad man.

I understand basic geometrical shapes(squares, circles, lines, dots, etc.), but why was the five-pointed shape assigned to a star-when the stars in the sky look nothing like that? Same thing with the heart-shape. Why did people assign the upside triangle with two half circles on top to a heart, without actually looking at a human heart.

There was a time when trains crossed narrow rivers by using a bridge that rotated over a tower in the middle of the channel. The bridge had an operator whose job was to rotate the bridge in line with the river when ships needed to pass and would then rotate the bridge toward shore for the passing of a train.

One day the bridge operator decided to take his small son with him to work so he could show him what daddy did for his work. As a passenger train approached the bridge the man as always pulled the lever to swing the bridge to shore so the train could pass. As the train came hurtling down the track the man in horror saw that the automatic locking of the tracks together had not occurred. The tracks were not aligned! Thinking quickly the man bolted out of the control room door and ran down the bridge toward shore to manually lock the tracks in place. All this as the train bore down on the bridge.

As the man reached the halfway point to the end of the bridge he heard a voice that ran through his veins like ice water. It was the sound of his young son’s voice. His son had followed him onto the track and had shouted proudly to his father, “Daddy, I can help!”

The options raced through the father’s mind. If I continue to run down the bridge I can lock in the tracks and save all the people on the train but my son will die. If I turn to rescue my son all the people on the train will die. He made the decision in what seemed like an eternity but was actually only a heartbeat.

The train barreled down the tracks and across the bridge. All on the train were saved. But to save all those people a terrible price had been paid. That was the life of the son.

As news quickly spread to shore as to what had happened one of the man’s close friends ran to the bridge and found the man sitting alone sobbing with his head in his hands. His friend quietly sat down and held the man close. After minutes of silence between the two the friend asked “What are you thinking?”

The man responded “How am I going to explain to my wife the decision I made today? Will she be able to understand?”

So there’s the question. Do we truly understand the sacrifice that God made? He gave His Son so that all could live.

Over the years, I have gotten into arguments over religion with relly religious people. The people I argue with mostly go to church, pray, and thank god in any random situation. In over 10 arguments, we coclude that they very well damn know there is no god and the only reason they believe is that that was they way they were raised up and that it gives them a little warm fuzzy feeling and hope after death. You yourself have to admit it, if you werent raised up christian, catholic, or in any other major religion you wouldnt know anything about god therefore not believing in "him". Do you think god comes to those starving in africa? Since most of the religious people agree that it is false hope, do you think we as the human soceity deserve to be the dominant species of earth? Why is it that people need a false reality to survie, to not become insane? We are all in denial, look deep inside yourself before you answer these questions. Do you really believe in god, and think why.
