As a person who has lost all hope in this life, I find myself forced to believe in god, and Christ. I find myself needing to believe; believe that there has to be something else. I can't help but believe and I do...I also know someone who has lost all hope in life. This is why she has turned to religion and is a "devout "christian." ; because there is no longer hope in life, so she must believe in "god." However, I'm always amazed by atheists because they seem so smart to me, and not brainwashed......They create intelligent responses to everything. On the other hand, "christians" seem extremely brainwashed....There is even a term..."Religiosity disorder." Everything that atheists believe in is a fact or can be proven.God probably created this because he wants faith, only faith, right?..yeah Well, I don't know but because I've lost all hope in this life and subconsiously refuse to believe that this is it, I believe in God, but atheists are more functional in society than "christians"

Hello!! :o) I hope you're OK. A rather harsh question - I know. But reality is often harsh. And sometimes I wonder if my fellow Christians would PREFER that a new-born UNWANTED baby was thrown away RATHER than be given to a gay couple to raise. So I ask. If you are a Christian - and were given the choice between the two [Gay Parents or Garbage Bin] where would YOU prefer an unwanted baby ended up?! Have a great day!! Craig! :o)

The Source of Life is Whole, Complete. It's not until
the Lifeforce leaves the Source that it breaks down into
what we understand as the Masculine and Feminine.
Feminine flows from the Source outward, Masculine
from outward back to the Source.
Feminine passive, Masculine aggressive.
Feminine expansive, (spreading out), which gives
predominantly feminine indivuals a feeling they are
smaller than they are, Masculine direct, (single-minded),
making predominantly masculine individuals have a feeling
they are bigger than they are. And we know there
masculine women and feminine men.
Our spirit is made of both of these aspects. And we can
balance them within us. Nobody will ever do everything
perfect. We need to learn to be flexible however. Take
control when it's important. And let someone else have
the control sometimes, like what show we'll watch on TV,
or where we go to eat. And enjoy it with them.
The Serenity Prayer is a good affirmation for finding
balance.

Atheism is the state of disbelief or non-belief[1] in the existence of a deity or deities

So, by being a non-believer, you believe in something (namely, disbelief), and by claiming that existence doesn't exist, what are you claiming?

and... i've heard pornography is idolatory, is that true?

*may athiests keep their opinions to themselves*

does anybody find it a heck of a lot worse when a girl starts to pick on you than when a boy does. Boys just do it once and leave it but girls are bitchy and go on and on about it. does anybody else find it that way.

Before answering remember Luther´s words in a letter to fellow reformer Heinrich Zwingli. "There are almost as many sects and beliefs as there are heads; this one will not admit Baptism; that one rejects the Sacrament of the altar; another places another world between the present one and the day of judgment; some teach that Christ is not God. There is not an individual, however clownish he may be who does not claim to be inspired by the Holy Ghost, and who does not put forth as prophecies his ravings and dreams."

In USA the court most of the times convict the people who are involved in any petty crimes by orderring them to do community service for a number hours as a punishment. The community service can be working in a religious instiutiion with out any compensation or working for the county doing some public work etc. Our courts just convict the accused by sending them to prison where they become more dreaded criminals. Can some one take my message to Indian Judiciary?

Repeatedly, writers to "Answers" accuse non believers of trying to ban religion.
NO NEED TO FOLKS! LEFT TO YOUR OWN DEVICES, RELIGIONISTS STAND A REASONABLE CHANCE OF DESTROYING YOUR SELVES.
Just look to Catholic / Protestants [ Ireland ], Sunni / Shia [ Iraq ] and Jewish / Islamic[Holy Land] destruction of each other for proof.
Continuing to try to establish Evangelical Christian hegemony over all in
America may surely bring an early endtime scenario. However,It will be man made!.

homeland security announced yesterday 12-15-06 that they will be watching rail shipments more closely than they previously have
beenand that CHEMICAL rail shipments will not be allowed to sit
in any rail yards for to very long.i live right across from one of the
largest yards in the country in indiana and have always thought
how easy it would be to compromise these trains.children inthis
area use shortcuts through these tracks,the hobos reside near
them,there are no fences and security has always been at issue.
i myself used to mushroom hunt along these tracks until i was
spotted by rail security,questioned and then politely told to
leave.before i left i told security they need to install fences
if they want to keep threats out.this area is very vulnralable,and as
far as i know it still is.the government always has said their would be another terrorist incident so could this be the next 9/11
