Does anyone really believe they are christians and that the bible is actually really there? Never mind whether or not the stuff in it is supposed to be true, but is there really a such thing as 'the bible'? I used to think there was, but somehow they seem to vanish into the ashes of my fireplace whenever I think I have one. So, the question is, if the only evidence of a bible's existence is the ashes left in the fireplace, then was the bible ever really there?

I do not want to start a fight!

However, that is a reality!

99% WILL NOT UNDERSTAND THIS NOW BUT YOU WILL LATER!

I know many people will say no "just for now" then you'll see

God has a purpose for everyone and I know there are atheists in this forum that will accept Jesus Sacrifice.

is not because I said so! the bible declares it!

" And NO CHRISTIANS (of course true ones) WILL NOT TURN ATHEISTS IN THE FUTURE JUST IN CASE OF ANY REVERSE ANSWER'

Which is the more environmentally friendly option: Cremation or Burial?
By burial I refer not to anything elaborate but more so to being dumped coffin-less into the ground and have dirt thrown on you?

It seems to me that all cremation would result in would be that you would be turned into pollution (combustion of carbon, for one thing) and allergen causing particles. Burial, on the other hand, would give bacteria, worms, and fungi a chance to thrive as well as promote the life of a tree or something.

So which is the more environmentally friendly, a "paupers burial", or cremation?

I've been on tonnes of sites and even read a few books and stuff based on it and all i can find to contact my guides is that i have to meditate regularly. I have tried this but i find it hard to meditate, does anyone know of any easier way to get in contact with them?
I also heard that they can hear your thoughts all the time, does this mean they can hear what you say as well?

I don’t have strong views about this. I came across some women who do this in public and I just look the other way.

What about in restaurants for example, is it still acceptable? What about if the woman on my right and my left and the one sitting in front starting breast feeding, where am I supposed to look?

When and where breastfeeding is socially acceptable?

Thanks

Atheist~
"NOUN: One who disbelieves or denies the existence of God or gods."

And Atheist can still have a religion and be spiritual, though most don't, it is not like in an Atheist handbook that you can't believe in angels or something.
The only requirement to be considered an Atheist is that you connot believe that there is a God(s)

What are your thoughts?

Is religion an old form of law that inserts the fear of God into people, rather than a judgement of a judge that will persecute you?

In ancient times, european missionaries were sent to Latin America to spread the word of Christ, right???

Well, isn't the 'golden rule' to treat others the way you want to be treated? Well, Chistians probably wouldn't want to be forced to believe in Aztec gods would they? Then why would they force Aztecs and Incans to believe in their/our God?

Pleast help!!!

God doesn't believe in atheists. Can you prove that atheists exist? Just because someone says that they are an atheist doesn't make it true any more than if someone told you that they were Elvis Presley come back to life. If it is impossible to prove that atheists exist, they must not really exist. That means that there is a universal consensus in the belief in God.

It is a thirty-bed inpatient facility for those seeking to escape the Religious Lifestyle. It will be facilitated strictly by atheist counselors. My question is, does any buddy know how I can take advantage of our federal government's faith-based grant program to get the facility up and running?

Here is my logic. I will likely be reported though (these are not my belief just the logic i would use if i were xtian)

1. A fetus is a person, a life that god cares about
2. A fetus is incapable of sin
3. Any person without sin or whose sins have been forgiven will enter heaven
4. Abortion is Murder
5. Murder is a sin
6. We can ask for forgiveness
7. Murderers can enter heaven


Ok I dont think any point on there is refutable by christian beliefs. Here is my logic. If we abort a fetus it will go directly to heaven and the aborter can simply ask for forgiveness. If this life is short and Heaven is eternal i am surprised ALL christians don't have abortions. After all your guarenteeing that your child will live eternally in heaven and you just confess and say your sorry.

my friend has became really religious (christian)...its not like shes a virgin, but she doesn't want to do 'IT' anymore since the bible is against pre-marital sex..

she said she wants to marry him just so she doesn't have to wait anymore and so she can do 'it' without guilt, since she's 'married' anyway...

she said that in the bible it says its better to be married, then single with lust

shes basically saying that the bible approves people getting married just so the couple can have sex...

where in the bible does is say that?

its pretty stupid cuz this guy she wants to marry is a moron

If Christians are right we will die and go to heaven and the atheists will still die and suffer Forever. What choice would make more sense?

So when we were put on this Earth we weren't given tissues. Were we supposed to blow our noses into our hands? Are bugers good for our noses? I think our fingers are perfect sizes and shapes to get those suckers. I don't think eating bugers is good. Our nose hairs caught them for a reason (To keep them out of our bodies), but shouldn't we take them out? Why aren't fingers acceptable. What about at home.
