Society & Culture - 2 December 2006

Most atheists and agnostics were either raised in church or other institution, and many were highly involved with religion during large parts of their lives. Our atheism emerged in spite this early experience.

What would convince you that atheists are already well informed and reflective individuals who have no need to read the Bible through a 6th time?

we obviously have a caste system in america. the media and government tries to cover it up. i don't think we are that stupid or blind. but what really bothers me is that nobody does any thing about it, they don't picket in the rich areas or even DC. or at least riot are we that cowardly do we have no honor?

Christian people go to church on Sunday. But the Bible talks about the Sabbath. Why do you go to church on Sunday and not on Saturday based on the Bible???

WHY DO MORE PEOPLE SAY "I AM BLESSED!!!!!" WHEN THEY GET A NEW CAR, OR WHEN THEY GET A NEW PURSE, OR A NEW HUGE DIAMOND RING ?? BUT NOT MANY SAY GOD BLESSED THEM BECAUSE HE WOKE THEM UP THIS MORINING, OR BECAUSE YOU HAVE FOOD ON THE TABLE, OR BECAUSE YOU HAVE YOUR GOOD HEALTH, OR EVEN BECAUSE YOU HAVE FAMILY THAT LOVES YOU? IT SEEMS LIKE THESE DAYS EVERYONE IS JUST NOTICING ALL THE MATERIAL THINGS IN LIFE.

SORRY IF I'M GETTING ON MANY OF YOU GUYS NERVES WITH THESE QUESTIONS IM JUST CURIOUS.

“Non-violence is not a cover for cowardice, but it is the supreme virtue of the brave. Exercise of non-violence requires far greater bravery than that of swordsmanship. Cowardice is wholly inconsistent with non-violence. Translation from swordsmanship to non-violence is possible and, at times, even an easy stage. Non-violence, therefore, presupposes ability to strike. It is a conscious deliberate restraint put upon one's desire for vengeance. But vengeance is any day superior to passive, effeminate and helpless submission. Forgiveness is higher still. Vengeance too is weakness. The desire for vengeance comes out of fear of harm, imaginary or real. A dog barks and bites when he fears. A man who fears no one on earth would consider it too troublesome even to summon up anger against one who is vainly trying to injure him. The sun does not wreak vengeance upon little children who throw dust at him. They only harm themselves in the act”

Please excuse the abbreviations in the question, the 128 character limit was hard to get by!

The question is: Would you prefer to live in a country which has banned abortion completely but has very high abortion rates (for example: many South American countries) rather than live in a country in which abortion is completely legal but has very, very few women seeking abortions each year (for example, Belgium & Netherlands)?

This section is called "Religion and Spirituality" and since you don't have a religion and don't believe in spitituality...
Actually, they should have another section for you labeled "Nothing" since that's what you all believe in.
