then why do scientists absolutely refuse to acknowledge that God exists? Do they think that God doesn't exist and that the Bible is just a bunch of fairy tales solely because they care more about always trying to prove themselves right whether they are or not than they do about what is and isn't truthful?

This is for the Atheists only and should not be of any interest to anyone else.
I have currently started an atheist group in my community. I just wanted to know if anyone has any suggestions. I need ideas for getting the word out, I have not really done to much so far and the group is pretty small. Is this something any of you would even be interested in or have time for. I just want it to be a place for local atheists to go to meet people and have a good time, meet new people and network Offer support and do good things for the community. Basically take the good things that church does but with absolutely NO SPITITUALAITY WHAT SO EVER. Also NO corruption or child molestationLOL. Anyway just wanted some suggestions and help. Have any of you ever tried something like this? If so do you have any advice

I have been to a few different countries in my life for vactions or what ever and NEVER once did I hear anyone say to me, "If your gonna be in my country you better learn the language or go home". Are we the only nation that does this? Are we so concerned with a complete strangers conversation that we choose to take our nosieness that far? By the way those that think peopel speaking another language are talking about them,arent, they dont care about you.

I have always believed in God. I will always believe in God. I want to try to go to church. But I had a bad experience at the last church I attended. A lot of the sermons really angered me, and I didn't believe them. Also I tried reading the Bible, but it bored me (sorry if that offends anyone, but I have to be blunt).

I want God to have a greater presence in my life. I believe in Jesus. I would even call myself a Christian. But do I have any right to align myself as a Christian if I said such a thing about the Bible? How can God become a bigger part of my life?

What did you do or not do to someone which created a great wound in that person's life. Would you be willing to help fix the problem and bring them peace even if it cost you personally?
Could you be that noble and brave to bring them peace?
Could you say you were sorry expecting nothing back from that person?

I know it sounds mean, but I believe the murder rates have increased by 50% or doubled. one week last year i watched the news and kept a list of all of the bad things that happened. i had down about 6 murders, and they were all connected to katrina murderers and fights. I hear that New orleans had the top crime rate.....is it really so wrong to accept them at first, but now a year later want them to move back home? It really has nothing to do with race, but I put that in there because most people from new orleans were african american...maybe i'm just a mean person, and if u think so, don't say it with cuss words or by degrading words.

If an Engagement party invitation says "Formal wear", is it acceptable to front up in standard suit, shirt/tie etc?

Also, Christmas parties. Where is the line in terms of well dressed Vs under dressed?

They say its all about seeing facial expressions while you are talking to them if so, then what do these people think about telephones and internet?

I mean, seriously people, God is an ancient myth and the Bible is a book of fables. Will society ever see organized religion for what it really is and stop being brainwashed by its ridiculousness? Or will we just keep killing each other to see whose God is the best?

I don't think many people would come so mine would be a small ceremony. The only songs I want played would be "Hallelujah" by Jeff Buckley and "Requiem" by Mozart.

If you are serious, go ahead and answer. Otherwise if you want to yell at me, you can email me. Thanks.

Jehovah's Witnesses (JW’s) say no and quote Matthew 5:27-28 and Exodus 20:14 (the 7th-Commandment). Illogical? Yes, because the 7th-Commandment constitutes the rule of law against adultery. Moreover, the Seventh Commandment is separate from Matthew 5, which refers to the physical law of divorce. According to Deut. 24:1, divorce comes from a CODE of physical laws; whereas, the Ten Commandments are sole a spiritual law (Romans 7:14), which Deut. 6:5 summarizes in the first four commandments as love towards God. Sadly, JW’s fail to understand that Matthew 5:27-28 refers to the divorce part written by Moses, which Jehovah ordered be placed at the SIDE of the ark (Deut. 31:26). Whereas, Exodus 20:14 refers to Adultery written by the finger of God on two tables of stone, which Jehovah ordered to be placed IN the arc--not the side. (Deut. 10:2) The manner indicates a division of two parts; one written by man verse the other written by God. Question: do I speak the truth?

Have these infamous phenomenons been proven by scientists to be real or frauds?

Also, I was reading somewhere awhile back where some statues of Jesus had "blood" running down from the crucifixition wounds.

What is your personal opinions of these?

I met an acquaintence of my moms for the first time and all she had to say to me was "whoa your mom is way better looking than you!" Now is this a rude, catty remark or does someone say something that rude as truth?

Also I met one of my mom's friends and he said "you are disgusting looking!" Now does a grown man say something so rude to someone?

I do not understand?
