First, I would like to apologize for a previous question posed by myself which seemed to offended atheist. This was not my intent.
I however gained much insight from these responses and now I feel fear.
For what I failed to mention was that I within the course of my own years have gone to predict that I too will become an atheist. I feel it is inevitable.
However, when I begin to ponder on the significance of my life without the god which I used to display much faith toward, I feel empty and afraid of realizing no one cares that I am here and that there is no need for me to be here.
Please provide your opinion on this.

Couldn't religion be perceived as a placebo effect?

Meaning, people who follow the bible and the word of God claim to be alleviated by their belief and trust in God, although with no cogent evidence of a Supreme Being couldn’t the advocate actually be eased by the expectations and faith that a forgiving God exists?

Couldn’t we just make God in a pill for depressed people?-joking

I anticipate a couple pissed off remarks

I just answered an interesting question by nagla that asked non-believers what they think of believers, and just wanted to get the other side of the issue.

What exactly does the term Peace Be Upon Him mean? Would it be appropriate for a person of a different faith to use that term or would it be disrespectful.

What about if a Christian says Peace Be Unto You, is that offensive?

I ask because I want to learn and not offend.

Thanks!

Remember, people can be famous for just about anything. There's a famous cook, a famous carpenter (Vila), etc. So anything.

I believe this. Even though I have so many liberal views about sex, birthcontrol, and prematrial sex. I think children should only be born in wedlock. I wasn't born in wedlock myself, I was suppose to but my dad was being stupid and didn't want to marrry my mom.

Well, I've got two issues in this incredibly awkward question:

First, I'm beginning to wonder if urinals are more a nuisance than a help. It's convienent to pee standing up, but the splashback is gross, people think you are playing with yourself if you stand in front too long, and people sometimes look over to see the size of you know what. What do you think? Would it be better to just go in a stall?

Secondly, I'm beginning to not like the fly on my jeans (I only really wear jeans). Flies kind of hurt to pee out of (the metal teeth are not fun) of and this is only worsened if you zip up prematurely. I guess I could try button fly, but they take 20 seconds to close after you pee. I'm assuming flies on guys' jeans meant to pee out of (am I right?). Should I switch to pants that don't have flies at all, even though you have to take them down more when you pee?

Girls and guys can answer, I don't care, and thanks for putting up with this question.

Taking a poll on the thumbs down syndrome ... why do you give an answer a thumbs down?

Is it because you don't think it was helpful to the person asking the question, because it was rude and/or hateful/racist, or simply because you don't agree with their answer? C'mon, come clean and tell the truth.

What I mean is do you really think that you are going to convince anyone to change their mind either way? I grew up going to church, stopped, decided God did not exist, changed my mind, but at no time have I hung around like people on this forum being rude and sarcastic and down right mean, Of course some of it IS pretty funny. Oh never mind, believe whatever you want to believe and I will do the same.
