I see so many questions like this one every day (so I can't believe I'm asking one now).

But why would it bother the religious people on here that atheists and agnostics Q&A people about religion?

Wouldn't you want to take advantage of the opportuinity to show the world that your religion is logical and can be defended?

Wouldn't you want to show those people who are undecided how good and rational it is to become a Christian (or whatever faith you are)?

I see so many Christians on here complain about atheists being on here, but isn't this just a chance for you to show how foolish they are?

Thanks,
Curious Atheist here

My parents used to be a part of this group a long time ago.

All I know is that they were part of that group, no info on the practices and how they functioned.

Why are people so secretive about this?

Not talking about a particular one;but from a supreme being perspective:

Does it actually give ya'll comfort to try and believe there's not a God?

Or do ya'll just continue to say that becuase ya'll dont know which one is real?And your afraid to trust people when they say this or that God is real?

Becuas honestly, anybody with eyes should be able to see theirs more than enough evidence for God or a suprem creator. Randomness does not create complex things, it only makes a mess. You would actually need a creator to to take the time to actually make something and make it more and more complex.

Again does it give you comfort to believe there's no God. Or is that just a defense mechanism becuase you're afraid to do like the one deciple that wanted to walk on water like Jesus? Are you afraid to step out on faith?

Did most Southerners own slaves, or was this segment of the population small or large? And, thus what would the percentage be of Southerners who had a stake in keeping slavery alive, so to speak, in the South?

If so, what happened to them and how are they esteemed? If he didn't, why not?

You know what's acceptable, and what will make you work extra hard when that person comes in again.

Is that different for a table of white men in suits from a table of, well let's just say, the opposite.

To sum up my question, how do you figure out EXPECTATIONS, ACCEPTABILITY, and FUTURE SERVICE with regard to ethnic differences?

I have answered a few people who have said that they want to help others with Christmas and other things. They ask for information and then you never hear from them again. Are they all fake?

Darwin Day (Feb. 12) is too specifically about evolution.

Any other nominations for an International Free-Thought Day?

And then, 45 seconds later, they are flagging the waiter down because they "NEED" something?? Oh, say, Ma'am...can I get a refill?? Can I get an extra side of ranch? Can I get a babysitter for my screaming child??
What the heck is up with THAT?

I just finished reading HC Moolenburgh´s "A Handbook of Angels". Dr Moolenburgh says that the welfare state has made spiritual lazybones of us all, since those of us accustomed to being served with our every wish have no incentive to pray. He says that if we break free of our welfare dependence, ´then God sends his servants and man is helped in the most remarkable ways´.

This means that the state need not spend billions on social security, health care and unemployment benefit. Angels cost the taxpayer nothing: GOD WILL PROVIDE.

This book changed my brothers life.Ted has gone off state payments. He now has faith that God will provide for him. Ted lives in a wheelchair after he lost his legs to friendly fire in the Gulf War. This is something he really wants to do. He has little money to get cabs, buy food, heating and so on. But he has noticed that the weather has been warmer, thanks to the angels.

Has anyone else read this book and had visits from the angels?

I know that even though it's wrong I tend to judge people who drink because I grew up with Alcoholics & then was foolish enough to marry one? Do you judge people because of what you've been through in your own life? I really wish I didn't but I can't help but feel that way

The previous civil war was between the Muslims of the north and the Christians of the south.

This conflict is between the Muslim Janjaweed and the Muslim farmers of the west.....the Darfur area. I am curious as to what people think the cause is.
