....... yet make up about 10 percent of thr general population.

Christians represent 75 percent of the population and also represent 75 percent of the prison population.

This means that atheists are 50 times less likely to offend.

What does this say about the christian belief that their religion makes them better people and that atheists who don't share this belief must be morally bankrupt as a result.

I wonder how many christians who arte desperate to be right at all costs and hate the idea of cold hard facts casting their beliefs in a negative light will use the old "Well they were atheists when they committed the crime but they found god while in prison" excuse.

Some people wait until the new year, but that seems depressing to me. Down goes the tree, and off to work we go.

How anti Christian is this? How embarassing? How heartbreaking!

Is there anybody else who feels an absolute joy and sense wonder and fulfillment when learning about the true scientific reasons for the how the universe and everything that is in it came to be ?

Do you feel an immense sense of wonder and amazement when you contemplate the sky at night and marvel at all we have learnt about our orgins and existance and all that there is still to know ?

Finally do you think that this joy and wonder is far superior to simply accepting ancient dogmatic myths as a way of explaining the world around us

I asked this question last night and got some off the wall answers. I'm hoping to get some other responses.

Why would Jesus use salt and light to discribe the two greatest agents of change for the whole world?

Please no paroting of what you have been taught about salt as a preservitive or to make some thirst, or light as to show the way, that is not the point of this question. It is rather to get you to think. Notice both of these are silient why didn't Jesus use something audible to make a great impact on the world around us?

Atheism is the very denying of something you cannot prove to be true, or false right?

How can you believe there is no God when you can not prove that? Just because you cant see him, doesnt mean he is not there! Open your eyes, and LOOK, there is no proof that he does not exist, youd be better off as an agnostic, at least they dont claim to know it all, as you do, right?

How can you know something you cant prove??? God is provable.

Did you ever stop to think about WHO will be in Hell with you?
It torturing millions of lost souls forever! Think about that!You won't hear anyone say, "I love you", because in Hell, there isn't any love.
You say, "God wouldn't allow such a thing to happen." Sure He will! God allows people to suffer all the time. God allowed Hitler to murder 6,000,000 Jews, did He not? God allowed Herod to kill the children under two years old, did He not (Matthew 2)? If God will allow innocent babies to be murdered, then why wouldn't He allow a Christ rejecting sinner to burn in Hell? Did God not allow Jesus Christ, an innocent and sinless man, to be beaten and murdered? If God will allow His only begotten Son to suffer and be murdered, then why should God save a sinner from Hell when he chooses not to trust Christ as Savior? Listen, friend, GOD WILL ALLOW YOU TO GO TO HELL AND BURN IF YOU ARE NOT BORN AGAIN. It happens all the time.

You'll always remember your earthly life. You'll remember

How would your faith in the Supreme, Almighty One be affected if you found that Jesus Christ was Black? The movie "Color of the cross" alleges that the crucifixion and rejection of Jesus Christ by the Jews were the result of Jesus Christ being Black. One source even reports that in one theatre several White Christians actually walked out of the movie. What if Jesus Christ were Black?

Who would you say is more sophisticated between Jimmy and Kelly?

For example Kelly works at a public relations company and she owns a condo overlooking a huge lake and she lives in a big city, Kelly also owns a really nice car (a 2005 Acura TL) and she does alot of traveling with her job and she owns alot of nice clothes and has a ton of high class friends, plus Kelly can be a bit on the snobby and stuck up side.

Jimmy on the other hand is a small town boy who works at a department store and he still lives with his parents and Jimmy owns a 1977 Buick LeSabre, Jimmy is a hard working reliable employee who lives his life on a day by day basis and he is one of the most easygoing guys who you can get along with who is a bit on the carefree side, Jimmy likes good classic rock music and he is a big fan of automobiles and trains?

Both Jimmy and Kelly are in their mid 20s

I personally think that Jimmy is the better of the two.

I live in an apartment in Manhattan and the woman living directly above me walk around in her apartment with shoes on at all odd hours. This is an old building with wood floors and she has no carpet in her apartment. Everytime she goes around her place I can hear her loud enough to wake me up from my sleep. I have tried talking to her a couple of times but it ends up being the same after a few hours. Does anyone know how to deal with a situation like this?
