Is there an after-life or do we come back as a different person or creature, or would we be just wandering spirits?

When I take my 4 year old son to the Harry Potter theme park will I have to dodge Christians who have signs that quote Leviticus where it says wizards should be put to death?

If my son is in a wizard costume will Christians yell at me and tell me I am a bad parent?

Since I'm an atheist, don't fundamentalist Christians think I suck to begin with, so this is just more reason to not like me?

This question is directed towards people who eat kosher, but feel free to answer if you have an opinion. I've worked for several different cruise lines in my career and it has been my experience that people who request kosher meals throughout the voyage often cast aside their religious beliefs when all-you-can-eat lobster is on the menu, and completely pig out on the tasty crustaceans. I'm not trying to be mean or anti-semetic, so save me the lectures, I just want to know why?

I would think being the all powerful creator of existence would be fun and pleasurable. Instead they're all pissed off Shiva,Yaweh,Allah,Zeus,Odin ect. Geez deities if you don't like human actions so much why'd you bother creating them?

Obviously, if you have always been a Christian, then this question doesn't apply to you.

I hate getting hit on, approached, stared at by *most* Black American men...I hate urban culture and find it very annoying. I do like suburban, professional types of all races, but I do find that I get the most aggressive attention from urban males, specifically Black males. Am I the only person that gets annoyed at this behavior and what can I do to appear more approachable to them? I definitely don't dress hoochie...I'm a professional myself...and yes, I am generally nice, but I HATE IT!

So I assume there's no sin in heaven, because God wouldn't allow that right. So what change takes place for you to stop sinning once you're in heaven?

There were witnesses to this. That Saddam gassed Israel at the end of the Gulf war. That also Saddam gassed His own people by the 1000s, & many of those people were Christian.

He obviously had the capability to do so since he did it.

Big bang Theory
Theory of evolution

Then why is faith attacked? We all feel love, we all know it exists yet Science has not even trapped love in a test tube. I have complete faith that love exists and the bible even says "God is love".

A young man who grew up in Tarsus, the center of Mithraism, a Roman citizen and a Jew.

He had never been to Judea during his youth, but by the time he was a young man his youthful zeal led him to Judea where he gladly joined in the religious persecution of minority sects that Judaism had always required in the Old Testament.

Eventually his fascination with Fundamentalism began to wane when it didn't provide him with the answers he had sought and his exposure to Mithraic beliefs began to reassert itself.

He hijacked a local religious movement that he had persecuted in Judea and began to preach a hybrid religion based on their beliefs and Mithraic initiations, which placed him in the unique position of dictating the beliefs of a new religion.

Eventually, after his death and the following deaths of the original Jewish Christian church, his Greek converts from Paganism turned his Jesus into a Mediterranean Demigod, like so many other characters worshiped in the region.

At first the guy seemed ok. Then a few weeks ago he mentioned that he and his wife homeschool their two children. I thought "oookaaaayyyy, that's a HUGE red warning light right there" and then about a week ago I asked him why they decided to homeschool. He said , and I kid you not; "because schools these days teach very dangerous things like sex education and evolution."
So the president and I had a little chat and the guy had his walking papers the next day.
For those of you wondering why, the company I work for (and sit on the board of directors) is involved in scientific research.
No way are we going to allow someone with that kind of attitude in here. And I checked on his application, where it said religion, he wrote "atheist". (usually if someone writes that they are a christian or a muslim, we just shred the application) So he lied as well to get in here.
So much for christian virtue and honesty huh?

Was the clitoris intelligently designed?

I believe I am correct in saying that the clitoris is the only body part - on either gender - in which its sole purpose is pleasure. Men do not have a comparable body part.
