Do any of the narrow minded and ignorant christian/creationist fruitcakes here even know what an escape velocity is?
How much is it here on Earth?
What is the reason for it?

Clue: it's not in your bible, so is it all a lie..? Surely your pastor would know..

What kind of belief do you think is for you? The one in which you accept the tenets of your religion and practice them or the kind in which you push your self to think, to question, to truly study theology and form opinions?
I am a believer and I love spending time thinking about religion, questioning things and studying it; I study nearly all major religions and it clarifies somethings and adds to my knowledge.
Please note that this question is not meant to be hostile or insulting towards any particular belief. I merely seek your opinions.
Thank you.

Research suggests it's hardwired in your brain. Sorry.

How do you think the world would be different if everyone just simply smiled, hugged, or did an act of kindness towards a total stranger?

It is said that what we call freedom is always freedom from something and there is nothing like absolute freedom and therfore, in the name of spirituality what we are seeking is a slot for ourselves where disturbance will be minimised.

I am an atheist and I am polish. I was told by someone whose family has been here since the Europeans came that I have no right to change things. He told me that all my people came here to this country looking for a better life and now we are taking advantage of his people by trying to change the way this country works. He claims that this country was founded on the Bible and should stay that way. He asked, “Why don't you just fix things in your country.” He must have forgotten that this country was actually founded by Native Americans. His ancestors came to America from Europe looking for a better life, just as my ancestors did, and they took big time advantage of the Indians, the same way my people are taking advantage of his people. Couldn't I ask him the same question, why didn't your European ancestors just fix their country? Could it be karma????

..responsible for for much of the world peace issues today..?

Looking around the globe, such ignorant fundementalist views are behind so much of the conflict we see today, and throughout history..

The thousands of innocents killed, injured or displaced in the name of the god that apparently selectively "blesses America" , or the "god given Jewish state" are undeniable. The innocent people killed in the name of Allah were also victims of fundamentalist views..

What makes christian fundies and creationists any different..?
And when will this sort of secular ignorance and denial be globally accepted as the destructive and divisive mindset that it so clearly is..?

After all, peace on Earth depends on it, don't you think..?

How do you know what is the truth for all when it comes to religion? How do you know what happened back when your holy books wer written? It all happend so long ago and alot of documentation has been lost of mistranslated that how can you know for sure what happend and what didn't? Saying that how can you know if things happed (ie things Jesus did) that weren't documented. Just because it wasn't documented doesn't mean there is no possibility that it happened.
