why don't they do something about it instead of trying to sound cool, like they don't watch tv or they never eat a friggin hamburger? give me a break people! this isn't the third grade like haha my lunchbox looks better than yours. If you have a problem with people watching tv, why don't YOU get off your butt and do something about that?! When you say "put down the big mac" why don't you do something about that? or are you too busy actually eating a big mac yourself? you hipocrate! This should hopefully put an end to people trying to insult people by saying "get off the couch". What are you jealous because you live in a van down by the river? anybody?

From Wikipedia's featured article on Atheism:
According to a study by Paul Bell, published in the UK Mensa Magazine in 2002, there is an inverse correlation between religiosity and intelligence. Analyzing 43 studies carried out since 1927, Bell found that all but four reported such a connection, and he concluded that "the higher one's intelligence or education level, the less one is likely to be religious or hold 'beliefs' of any kind."[90] A letter published in Nature in 1998 reported a survey suggesting that belief in a personal God or afterlife was at an all-time low among the members of the National Academy of Science, only 7.0% of whom believed in a personal God as compared to more than 85% of the general U.S. population.[91]

But then, anyone reading through this forum already knew there was a correlation.

Why should I read Dawkins (your favorite poster child, and I mean that literally)? Isn't he just propoganda for your side? Just once, I'd like to see an athiest read both sides of the argument (like "The Case for..." trilogy by Lee Strobel) with an OPEN mind. If Strobel is propoganda for 'our' side, who's more closed-minded? I've aleast read some of Dawkins' material and found him to be immature and childish.

a lot of people seems to believe in god and the bible and all that i don't. think what you will. i look at it as nothing more than something people came up with to give hope reason something to look forward to. i think it is a story written by man in nothing more than a book. Jesus wuz human one day divine the next. i have learned a lot on the topic of god but so much goes unexplained and people are so quick to believe and yet they make fun or think witchcraft is stupid. believe in neither its just an outside perspective. people that believe in god are so quick to disregard everything else mythological or magical seems to me to be more hypocritical than anything because non of you have proof of any of it and yet you critisize what others believe and think they are going to hell for it. oh and those of you who believe so whole much why is it you do not follow the rules of your bible and figure god will forgive you. maybe he does exist but i would rather burn in hell than serve in heaven

With her early release, who thinks that if she were black she would have to serve all and probably more of her sentence.
People are saying it's harsh because shes famous, SHE keeps breaking the rules because she's famous and knows she can get away with it, I think its disgusting and I strongly feel if she was of any other colour than white, she would serve her full sentence. It makes me soooo cross!
What are your thoughts?

Since Lokasenna went in 14 days from being the leading expert in Asatru to a very outspoken fervent atheist, shouldn't she change her name now?
Since her name derives from a semi-religious Asatru text from the poetic Edda and contains the name of a Norse deity which she now denies the existance of...?

Don't you think some real Asatruar might be insulted by this?

How does this quote make you feel and what do you think about it?

"Q. What message would you like to give to the West?

A. I would like to repeat that Islam is a religion of Peace. Westerners should not be carried away by false propaganda against Islam or Muslims. True that there is an element of terrorism among the Muslim community. But so it is in any other religion. If some followers of a religion violate its teachings the blame lies on the followers not on the religion. How many Christians practice the peaceful edict of Bible: ’if someone slaps you on one cheek turn the other cheek also towards him’? And still no one will deny that Christianity teaches LOVE and PEACE. The same approach should be adopted when forming an opinion about Islam."

Fellow Christians - have you ever noticed that when you direct a question to Christians, that un-believers come out of the woodwork to put in their comments as well, as sarcastic as they are?

I think it is interesting that they claim to not believe, yet they answer questions that are not directed to them regarding a subject that they claim to not believe in.

Your thoughts?

Ezekiel 28:13-17
tells the account where the devil who was created by God to be one of the Highest ranking angels aka he was anointed cherub that covereth. He was an angel that fell into sin (the sin of pride) and for that him and his followers (other angels) where cast out of Heaven.

So a two part question (for Christians)

1. Can you or will yo be able to sin in heaven?
2. If it is so and you sin in heaven will you (or can you) be kicked out?
