Atheists: what was yours?

What did you do during that most difficult time to maintain hope?

Please be as wordy as needed, but kindly be respectful.
Thanks.

Ok so I heard that what to us is Myth has now become a religion.
Some people in greece got together and made the belief in greek gods and goddess a religion. So do you think that is plain stupid? Do you belive in the greek gods? Whats your opinion on it?

Ther's this girl at work that I like but we worked different shifts, and every time I tried to strike a conversation with her she only vaguely answered me and really said nothing else.So, I loss interest in her,and stopped talking to her unless it was work related. Then I got switched to the same shift as her. Shortly after that, I found out from someone that she may be interested in getting with another girl. Now, my feelings for her have come back. To make matters, she tries to strike up conversations with me now, and also will ome and stand next to me and "accidentally" rub against me. But I don't talk to her unless it's for the job. Everyone else talks to her and kisses her a**, but I don't. This girl is very pretty,has a boyfriend, and a lot of male customers flirt with her. She knows I'm gay but has no idea that I have a crush on her. I' thinking that maybe because I say nothing to her or flirt with her, and since she's bicurious, she wants me now. But I know I would never be #1?

I don't think so that they're hated, when I started to read the questions and answers here, I found out that Christianity is widely hated but Islam was really like widely liked, in here people call us mean, arrogant, retards etc I'm very sick and tired of these offending questions and answers about Christianity being very bad. So why is Christianity widely hated?

What I find strange is that we are forced to existance and then are made to be held accountable for our sins. If we were left in the unborn state, then none of these problems would have arised. Why not have a third option after death which is going back to nothingness? In my opinion, I feel that returning to the unborn state is much better than an afterlife in heaven. I guess thats why Buddhism fits so well with me because of this issue.

i know this won't really ever happen but let's pretend. let's pretend that moderate/liberal "red letter" Christians schismed from the Fundies, completely separated themselves from the embarassment of being associated (by the lable "Christian") with a bunch of hatefilled, bigoted fantatics ... what could the new Christianity be called? ... something distinct indicating the concept's unique newness.

I know I do! I can't help it. It's addictive.

I love Alice...neurotic looks good on her...

The best scene was the sex scene between Helena and (can't remember Alex Hedison's character's name) in 3x08. To bad they messed up that storyline. Like they do every other storyline. But I still love 'em.

Hey people, Just concentrate and try to know that our book HOLY QURAN always try to teach the BEST things in the planet not Worst as you thinking.
Lets the missunderstanding:- KAFIR " what is that mean- who deny is called kafir" such as if I had sugar and some one bring to me tea then i can sy him I am a KAFIR of Sugar. Thats the real men in QURAN too. KAFIR means who deny the command of GOD or Prophets. However they muslims or from any cast.
Now- "JEHAD" - that means Do what Prophet mohammad and his family member say- ya its actual means and Today there is no question to do JEHAD
coz When our IMAM(12th) will come only he will order to JEHAD not any one.
so , Try to understand what is ISLAM then tell any things.
ISLAM ZINDABAAD
HUMANITY ZINDABAAD
TERRORISM MURDABAAD
INDIA ZINDABAAD
INDIANS ZINDABAAD

If a male says ‘Buonasera, Michael. Come stai?’ and the reply is ‘Non c’è male. Vorrei presentala a Lily.' how different would this be in Sicilian?
'Piacere. Lieto di conoscerla. I am pleased to meet you'. - is this correct? Would this be different in Sicilian also?
How would you write the following in Sicilian:
Bellissima (beautiful)
Zio (uncle - but really wanting the honorific title given to a good family friend here)
Padre e Madre (Mother and Father)
Mi Scusi (excuse me)
Grazie (thank you)
Buonanotte, bella (Goodnight, beautiful)
Buonasera (good evening)
mi amore (my love - male saying to female)
la mia moglie (if a male is saying this to his wife using an affectionate term would he say it this way? Do you need to include 'la' or is it ok to say just 'mia moglie'? or whatever the equivalent is in Sicilian.
Thank you for your reply - need correct spellings please.
