This will, of course (because that makes so much sense, you yahoos!!) be deleted within 5 minutes.

If it gets my account deleted, I think anybody should be proud to be in Bad Squirrel's footsteps...

Anyway, can anybody give me an update on Debra M ?

Cults often replace God with a man or organisation who say they have the secret knowledge or are the only ones who can interpret it. Are you sure you're not in one?

There are so many violent things in the Bible: polygomy, incest, and lot of very violent killing in God's name. Do we really read this stuff to kids?

Disclosure: atheist

My favorite: "Jesus Christ" sung by U2 written by Woodie Guthrie

Other examples:

Jesus Built my Hotrod by Ministry, Jesus Walks by Kanye West, In My Time of Dying by Led Zeppelin, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring by Bach, Black Jesus by Ghostface, Personal Jesus by Depeche Mode, Jesus of Suburbia by Greenday...you get the point.

What's your favorite JC-centric song? What JC song would you add to a hypothetical "R&S JC Mega-Mix" playlist?

hey dears,

i noticed that lots of atheists think that whatever believers (muslims or jews or christians) do things and prevent from doing other things is because GOD said so...??!

will it's not just because god said so..god said so because he want the humanity goodness..and there's an explanation for everything and why did god choosed it for us or prevent us from doing it...
i mean god told us to do things like worshipping him for example and to prevent from doing other things like stealing or lieing or killing.. and all of their reasons are for the mankind salvation from getting to lots of troubles and misfortunes..

my question is:
is the reason for most of the atheists for being atheists is because of ignorance..??!

peace to you

"Because the average life span of females is more than males, the world female population is larger than of males and therefore the only two options before a woman who cannot find a husband is to marry a married man or to become public property"

Ok, there's Cameron Diaz, I agree with that one. But still.

My girlfriend broke up with me this week, she's a Christian, which leaves me to the question: Why on earth did God create women? What is the point of those creatures?

First, I'm not trying to convert anyone, or change anyone's mind, but I'm curious as to how many people on Yahoo! Answers actually know what they're talking about. (No, Bible Classes on Sundays do not count.)

I'm an Atheist but I attend a Catholic school for the education, and part of my required education is a year of Religious / Christian studies. I have nothing wrong about learning it, it's just when people in my class start to have fits about Jesus does it get a little weird, and annoying.

I suppose my point is this; So many people ask questions like, 'How do you know God is male?', 'Adam and Eve were white?' etc, etc, and I have to wonder, how many Atheists / Agnostics / Theists have actually picked up a bible, religious work, or a biography of Darwin to learn what their counterparts are talking about? Or are the majority of the people here trying to argue against another persons' ideas in which they've never researched or try to understand?

I have a friend that seems flirty with my boyfriend. She asks him for rides home, only hugs him (not me), and follows him around the house when she's supposed to be hanging out with me. My boyfriend says he doesn't see it, am I wrong to stop hanging out with this person? Is it not considered rude and disrepectful?

I will be going abroad to my home country soon for a vacation. I would like to get back some nice gifts for some of my co-workers and my boss. Is it best to ask them what they'd like, or just make the best choice and gift it to them?

I am sick and tired of athiests and liberals who reject jesus, and insist they have a right to practice paganism and hedonism.
You WILL worship Jesus.
We need to give muslims a choice- worship jesus, or be wiped out..
Sorry, desepraste times call for despreate measures- we must protect the word of Jesus by foercing non beleivers to accept him....
I once beat an athiest bloody and wouldnt stop until he accepted jesus- this may be the only way to handle non believers.
You WILL worship Jesus....
Isnt it high timne liberal scum be told to bow before god jesus?

I can understand going to a massage parlor or a prostitute as it fulfills a need. However, I have never understood the concept of going to a strip club. What's the point?

I think they probably will be with Bill Gates involved in the whole thing. Usually if Bill Gates thinks it is going to happen it will, just like when he launced Microsoft 30 years ago. We have made a lot of advances in robotics the last few years, take Asimo for example. I personally think it will happen.

I recently saw a post from another that said very few churches welcome unrepentant homosexuals into the life of their church.

Actually, I know of several that no longer look at homosexuality as a sin:

United Church of Christ
Episcopals
Some Presbyterians
Unitarian Church
Methodists
Some Independent Baptists
In addition to the Metropolitan Community Church, which is a predominantly gay denomination.

Many scholars are reading the original texts of the Bible..and coming to different conclusions on homosexuality...Remember the word homosexual wasn't even part of our vernacular until 1865.

Any other churches that you are aware of that welcome homosexuals into the full life of the church.

And please don't post hateful responses...and no need for scriptures...I have read the Bible through twice, and know the scriptures well.
