Reading the bible is like reading Shakespeare. Maybe atheism would be more marketable if we had more of the flowery, grandiose, larger than life imagery that the believers are so good at. Some of it is so awe-inspiring and imaginative. Agree or disagree?
How in the world can atheism ever compete with this ...
"Reason is the Devil's greatest whore; by nature and manner of being she is a noxious whore; she is a prostitute, the Devil's appointed whore; whore eaten by scab and leprosy who ought to be trodden under foot and destroyed, she and her wisdom ... Throw dung in her face to make her ugly. She is and she ought to be drowned in baptism ... She would deserve, the wretch, to be banished to the filthiest place in the house, to the closets."
— Martin Luther (1483-1546)

All people who deliberately do wrongs in the name of God risk the worst punishment in hell because they are hypocrites. To do something in the name of God is because you are trying to do what is right.
The real intention of people who do knowingly do wrong in the name of God is in just a cover for actions which are in the name of something else.
These other justifications are all possible and present without religion. A genuinely religious people must remove any intention in his / her action which is not purely to please God through doing what is right.
Why should you let hypocrites control your judgment?

I have a vent about the LDS "culture" and I think they could help by making it known ... I dont know, I guess I just want them to know that its an issue with a lot of LDS YSAs out there.
I just want to get in contact (like email or something) with someone higher than a stake president.

When was the last time you had a really good time without committing some kind of silly "sin?" I don't think that rape and murder are cool, obviously. But what bout all the stupid little sins that they make a big deal out of? Drunkeness? Lust? I mean seriously, how is it any of your business (or "god" for that matter.
If it doesn't hurt anyone it can't be unethical, enjoy your life.

Its a hard thing to wrap ones head around. If were going with the "the universe is to complex to not have been designed" then the creative force must have been equally or more complex and therefore must also have been designed. What if instead of god being the end point of regressive arguments like this it is simply the universe we are already in. Big bang theory talks about what happened at specific point in time but the matter must have already existed. The definition of universe can be played around with to refute this statement but i am sure most of you are intellegent enought o understand te concept. Why does god have to be the cause of everything, why couldn't the universe the ultimate endpoint instead of god. Look at all the complex things the universe has already created? (pantheistic attitude but hey why not)

A young Christian who's just graduated top in her college is out celebrating at a bar with her friends. She's at a phase in her life where she's questioning the existance of God and has publically stated she's having problems accepting Jesus as her personal savior. In other words, her faith isn't where it should be.
A drunk atheist punk shoots her in the head for no reason. She dead. He gets arrested and, while in jail awaiting the death penalty, sincerely adopts Christianity and firmly accepts Jesus as his personal savior.

All human knowledge begins life as a theory based on intuition and some observations. Theories are invention. When they are checked against reality and for internal consistency we sometimes find that the theory holds tight. Once we become convinced that this theory is correct , we say that we have discovered something real, not that we've invented it.
Instead of saying that God is an invention you should investigate the theory.

You know, the greatest fear is fear of the unknown. Fear of that which is to be. Fear is born largely out of ignorance. Where there is knowledge, where there is understanding, there, fear cannot find a true lodgement within the heart. Learn to put fear aside. Learn to imbibe the qualities of love, tolerance, compassion, understanding, trust and faith. Allied with fact and knowledge.

well im not a christian so i wouldnt know the whole thing about sin. but some where i've heard that sex is a sin....... so if God came up with the whole rules aboue Sin, then why did he, himself impregnant mary??? let's face it naturally i dont think its possible to make baby without intercourse...and If god didnt do it with mary, then jesus would have to be a result of parthenogenesis which he would have the exact copy of mary's genetic material and that would make him a woman...>_< someone please explain.

I've heard alot of Catholics pray to certain saint for proctection and strenght and so forth, but I wonder, why would you need a saint to protect you when you are supposedly being proctected and cared for by the Almighty Himself? Is God's power not enough to Catholics?
Catechism:
"The witnesses who have preceded us into the kingdom, especially those whom the Church recognizes as saints, share in the living tradition of prayer by the example of their lives... They contemplate God, praise him and constantly care for those whom they have left on earth. Their intercession is their most exalted service to God's plan. We can and should ask them to intercede for us and for the whole world." Pg. 645, #2683 (See also Pg. 249, #956)
Why would the catechism say that saints can intercede for people, when the Bible says only Christ Jesus can?
6Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
First of many Q's for catholics.
