"god exists because there is a god. So, he has to exist."

That's pretty much it. A circular argument that proves nothing at all. Let's put this in a way many of you will understand;
If I were to tell you that the Green fairies create and make plants grow, would you believe me?
Plants exist don't they? Therefore, the Green Fairies must exist.
Plants grow don't they? Therefore, the Green Fairies must exist.

This is the same, inane argument you yourselves use to demonstrate the existence of god. Pathetic isn't it? I mean what mental midget would fall for such a sad trick?
Would you?
Oh and don't start with the "but the green fairies don't have a book written about them" routine. I submit that god has one book written about him, and Aslan the lion of Narnia has 6. Does that make Alsan real? Of course not.
In conclusion; god is imaginary. Nothing more. There isn't a shred of credible evidence to support it's existence. No more so than the Green Fairies. I trust you'll agree...

I'm writing something with supernatural themes all over it and I'm sadly lacking in monsters and creatures. All I know are vampires, werewolves, incubi, goblins, dwarves, fairies and Greek Mythology creatures. I'm making some stuff up but it would really be helpful to have real monsters. What I need are real occult monsters, you know? I'd be forever grateful if you could tell me a few with characteristics or provide links where I can find some info.

2 Corinthians 4:3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

This is one of the reasons non-believers can't understand the Bible, Satan, the god of this world has blinded their minds.

So are you still in darkness? Your answer will tell.

I'm Catholic and was wondering if you have ever cleverly defended your faith. What happened, and how did you do it?

They both see you when you're sleeping and when you're awake, they both reward the good and punish the bad and both of their rediculous stories made sense to me when I was young and naive.

I believe that there are more sadistic people than people who believe in God out there that are going to pay for it at the time of judgement. What do you think?

Me, its the thought of sharing it with my kids and my husband. Its my daughter's 1st Christmas this year. I know she wont remember it but I will. My son's 1st was last year. I remember how cute he was in his little reindeer slippers. Put pictures of it in his baby book so we can cherish it for a lifetime. The same with my daughter. Every moment is a memorable one with my kids. Is yours just as special?

Merry Christmas everyone! And a Happy New Year!

This is for my husband. The choices I gave him to give are a book "Music of the Western World" by L. Alberti or my Renoir framed print during his 'blue' period. He wanted my input so these are my choices he can have. Would anyone like to recieve on of these as a 'White Elephant?'

Seriously. They all have those whack-job stickers on their cars, have a bible quote ready at all times and just have that look of 'brain-wash' on their faces? It's kind of a zombie-like look. You know what I'm talking about? For further insight, sit in on a church service and listen to the monotone way some of those creepy Jesus people respond. Scary.

I have been feeling jealous and envious of this woman I know. I for some reason find myself comparing my life to hers and end up feeling inferior. I've prayed about it but I keep thinking about her in a jealous way, what seems like all the time! I think her relationship is better than mine, her house is nicer, her job is better, she's prettier/skinnier, etc.

What does the bible say about envy (I know it's a sin) and how to overcome it??

Thanks.
