what do u think?

When any one tells me, that he saw a dead man restored to life, I immediately
consider with myself, whether it be more probable, that this person should either
deceive or be deceived, or that the fact, which he relates, should really have
happened. I weigh the one miracle against the other; and according to the
superiority, which I discover, I pronounce my decision, and always reject the
greater miracle.
-- David Hume, An Enquiry Concerning Human Understanding
Ecclesiastical and Civil, xxix. (1651)

I heard there was a group like the Red Hat Society, but for younger women. Does anyone know the name of it?

During weather catastrophies the houses of worship are destroyed along with the rest of the buildings. You would expect God's to spare His houses if He wants propagation of the faiths. Makes you wonder. In Iraq the Sunnis & Shiites are blowing up each others Mosques. Wouldn't you expect God to come down and say 'Hey stop destroying my house".

Can you prove with evidence that there is no God? I don't want your typical answer "you can't see him". I want to know also why people who can't prove there isn't a God, don't at least searching to make sure they're not wrong. Doesn't it seem a little risky to at least not to investigate it? I mean, if I am wrong in believing that there is a God, I loose nothing. If you in believing there is no God are wrong, you loose everything. Its just doesn't make sense not to at least see if you could find God.

Why does a group of people who do not believe in God and therfore do not believe in Jesus, celebrate a day dedicated to remebering the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ?

HOW do I convince my husband *major breadwinner* that we can't afford Christmas because he's spending $60 on Sushi and a trip to NYC for fun - this is all for himself.. and NO, he's not unfaithful...just greedy and spoiled. (that is just this week....) He talks about having a better Christmas for our three kids (we could afford Christmas LAST year either), but I just don't see it happening..

I need help.

If you are interested the site below gives many first hand accounts of why people became atheists. Everyone is born an atheist.

what is the point of following any religion....especailly whenn without exeception they have all caused major wars and bloodshed? God/Allah/Buddah etc must be tearing his hair out at all the injustices caused by the various churches throughout the world!

My wife and I believe in giving 10% of what we "reap from the fields" to charity in the form of a tithe. However, I am not sure if we should be calculating the tithe before we calculate our taxes or afterwords. However, I am sure that there is some religious authority who has probably answered this question somewhere. Anyone know?

Do you really think that Christianity would have spread if it wasnt murderous. Where ever they went they destroyed all the religions of that land. Bible says it clearly that through only Jesus can you go to heaven. Jesus says that these that do not listen will be Judged worse then sodoma and gomora. Bible is full of hate towards all that are not followers. Read your bible better. The Muslim book is a rewarking of the Bible with even more extreme hate texts. So read it too, dont lie to your selves. Do you really thiink that Philippines would be Christian country if they were not forced to it. Or Indonesia. Study your history better and you will see that they are both murderous and terrorist cults. There is nothing holly about murderous. Both guilty by intent.
