The same for Satan. Why are there so many christians etc. that believe in Satan and worry about him consuming their lives? Surely if there was NOBODY who believed that he existed then he wouldn't exist! Isn't that kind of what we want?

I was looking at the manger thing on the tv and was just wondering.

I've been thinking about this a lot. I personally am against all organized religion, but am for the right for anyone to practice what they want. Now, what is the motivation of seperating church and state if you believe the fundamental principles in life lie in your religion? Would not the religious person be inclined to incorperate their religion into government if they believe so strongly in it? I'm looking for an insightful answer.

OPEN-MINDED RESPONSES, PLEASE.

Would you consider yourself any better or lesser than anyone else?

No offense meant to people with children. I have just been watching a lot of people in the shops over this holiday season, seems like the more kids people are dragging around is directly related to their perceivable intelligence. I have children, and come from a family of six---maybe I am an idiot too. But walk through your local mall this weekend and listen to these overweight Americans hollering, "Jasper, I aint gonna get ya no more McDonald's so shut 'yer mouth." Seriously, they should make folks pass a basic test before they have more than 2 kids. So...voice your opinions here please.

Many people say that there has to be a god because we had to have come from somewhere. So where did God come from?

And what to make of the obsession with the foreskin and circumcision found within the pages of "God's Word?" In the Old Testament, in order to please his future father-in-law, David enthusiastically abides by the man's request that David slay 100 hundred Philistines and bring the father-in-law their foreskins in exchange for the hand of his daughter! (1 Samuel 27) Indeed, the eager David brings Saul 200 foreskins! In the New Testament, circumcision is dwelt upon repeatedly by Paul and others--so critical is it to the lascivious Lord, who obviously screwed up in the first place by putting foreskins on men.

I can't accept oversimplified, fairy tale answers from the religious community, but I must confess that I can't immagine a death without end.
I'm sure that I can muster the courage to face death; --but death for umpteen trillion years plus,--just scares the hell out of me.
Has any atheist worked out any comforting thoughts about this?
I would like to hear your views.

Is it true that Jewish men do not give "promise rings" to their girlfriends? I happen to be Jewish and really have not heard of that "rule".

I disagree with the war too, but the soldiers asked for Star bucks and were refused! I was just curious because I had not seen any questions on here about it.
