I'm sure many among atheists has many different concepts but I'm curious to know what do you believe in how creation was origined?I mean do you guys believe that apperently a substance came out of nowhere?Or do you believe that the creation is infinite(had no beginning)and there's an infinite process of evolution?Couldn't there be an unknown and infinite source that was the reason that creation came to existence and with that everything just created by itself?Please don't turn this in to a theology debate just wanna learns some different views.

Do Christians really believe that part of their god sacrificed another part of their god to itself by letting part of its creation kill it for the benefit of another part of it's own creation?

Am i supposed to dress nice for the restaurant and stick-out at the game, or casual at the resaurant and feel uncomfortable? Oh, and it's freezing cold.

Luke was a Greek physician and he never knew Jesus. According to the gospels Mary , Jesus mother, shared things with Luke that she never shared with anyone.

Mary told him the Annunciation. Only in Luke is that recorded.

If we are to believe the bible, Mary shared the secrets of her heart to a Greek scientist.

Scenario: You have a child from a previous marriage. Your spouse's family gave your child some very nice and very thoughtul Christmas gifts. You in turn had not given the relatives gifts from your child. You take your child to Dave and Busters Christmas evening. As the child is cashing in his or her coupons for items, your child decides to spend coupons on the people that gave him or her Christmas gifts. The child decides to do so because it was mentioned to the child that the family had gifts for him or her.
Do you let your child gift them the cheesy gifts from the Dave and Busters award case or do you tell your child that you think it is very thoughtful of him or her to want to give them gifts and encourage your child to allow you to take them to the mall so they can purchase something more appropriate for the spouses family (i.e gift cards music, etc)
Is it tacky to allow your child to give whatever they see fit or do you think children need to be taught how to give gifts?

Thousands of hungry children are right here in the US...homeless with their parents on the streets. Thousands of citizens live at or below poverty, and only have a decent meal and heat in the winter when they are lucky. Yet, our good Nation founded on Christian principles "turns the other cheek" and continues on blowing up Iraq and feeding war and the games of war. The greatest country in the world? Really? Maybe we should ask one of those poor, cold and hungry children on the streets of D.C.

Why do we have so much money to sponsor war and deadly games with people's lives, but none to get help to our own people? To me, this is so sad. I do what I can, but things need to change. They are so wrong. Where is God in all this evil?

Well if they do, PLEASE dont let it affect you. because of what sinful humans say, its prob not what God says. I used to HATE some people who tried to lead me to God. because of stuff they said. But i learned that its coming from the human mouth. and sometimes its not what they are suppose to say. so PLEASE dont turn away God because of what people do or say. and rememeber all things happen for a reason.

I have no plans, and I am in Chicago. I would like to go to a big party, (but not a sports bar), where there will be a lot of people. Is it too late? Any suggestions (intelligent ones) would be appreciated.

How can you determine on what day Eid-ul-Adha will fall on? Is it based on the moon sighting or is it based on the tenth day of Hajj (Yomeh-Arafat)?

SOURCES PLEASE- either websites or actual citations of lines from the Quran
