They only seem to come here to:

-Make fun of religions
-Call people gullable fools
-Do whatever they can to prove religion false
-Make many many statements without any evidence

There are about over 100 sections on this site dedicated to everyone but only 1 dedicated mainly for us. Let us have our space please.

Based on Scripture and with scripture(s), give your reasons for your belief, one way or the other, regarding a persons sainthood; i.e. a person being a saint, whether dead or alive, and their becoming holy and their ability to live holy, when or if saved (the Bible way).

Think about YOUR realty as a person. Not life in a movie.
Say you fell in love with a person of a different Religion..
Would you change your religion (convert) to theirs in order to marry them?
If yes, then the reason is clear..
If No, would you tell me why?

When there are problems in the world like...World hunger, Aids, Corruption, teen pregnancy, Cancer, Diabetes, Drug abuse, Violence in schools, Global Warming, Resources consumption, Pollution, Acid Rain... and many more that I can talk about many people seem to find ways to blame people of a particular faith or another as scape goats... Granted they might be problems with people of different faiths, but don't you think we have bigger problems to take care of? (Globally and in our personal/professional life?)

People look to superheros for more inspiration than anything. Maybe Jesus was the first Superman comic, and his following got out of control?

My name is Quinton, and I am almost always the only person in a group (be that group a class, workplace, etc.) with that name. That isn't necessarily a bad thing, either.

I was just wondering if anyone knew anyone that had that name. Some other spellings of the name are: Quentin, Quenton, Quinten. Oh, and I am aware of the film producer named Quentin ; ).

The New Testament consigns "unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's"; it demands that women be obedient to their husbands; it accepts faith healing, exorcisms, and miracles; it exalts obedience over independence, fear and trembling over courage, and piety over self-determination.
The Qur'an does not tolerate dissent, freedom of conscience, or the right to unbelief. It denies the rights of women. It exhorts jihad, holy war against infidels. It demands utter submission to the Word of God as revealed by Muhammad. It rejects the separation of mosque and state, thus installing the law of sharia and the theocracy of imams and mullahs.
True believers have in the past often found little room for human autonomy, individual freedom, or self-reliance. They have emphasized submission to the word of God instead of self-determination, faith over reason, and credulity over doubt. All too often they have had little confidence in the ability of humans to solve problems and create a better future

Your own definition.

Simple rules to this game: No quoting. That includes dictionaries, Wikipedia, and holy texts, as well as anything else. Your definition as seen through your eyes. You may include the influence of a holy text if appropriate, as in how it has shaped your view, and even a reference point, but no quotes. Your own words.

Go!

That our belief in "God" is what makes our life complete. Not wealth, or fame, or material things. Instead of showing them anger, try and show them the way...

P.S. You can still give them a thumbs down though...

I discovered some flawed prison statistics

1. They assumed everyone in prison who's not religious are Atheists (Plenty theist consider themselves nonreligious)

2. They assumed everyone that didn't respond to the question in prison are Atheists

3. They assumed everyone that has a unknown religion are Atheists

4. They assumed that all the agnostics in prison are Atheists


They took all these assumptions to get a percentage of Atheists in prison
