What if we all saved, on our computers, the same great answer to the ubiquitous "Why are atheists here?" question, and we all posted that same answer each and every time it's asked? I think it's a great idea, and whoever posts the best answer to that overworn question gets best answer :)

So, why are atheists here, lol?

I read many posts that say that one is to study the original texts that the scripture was written in...cross reference any verses to other verses in the Bible to get a complete meaning. However, many scholars from many faiths do this very thing and come to different conclusions about the same passages. Which is accurate and which is not...Baptists, Methodists, Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, Presbyterians?

Furthermore, why is it that some say that certain scriptures are cut and dry and literal as they stand...when they do not affect their view...but, when you point to one that is contradictory to their beliefs...they use the whole cross-reference, explain it away reasoning?

Who quotes scriptures accurately?

Why is there a double standard by the fundamentalists?

I know that there are some churches that don't require any baptism, and that there are some that require a person to be baptized again into a new church. Are there churches that say if you've been baptized by a different Christian church then you don't need to be baptized again? And if you know, what is the reasoning behind the policy? I'm simply curious.

sin = behavior that is displeasing to God, as revealed in the Bible and its interpretation via the Church.

unskilled = self-centered thinking & behavior that avoid consideration of other life.

skilled = thinking & behavior that take into account our interdependence with one another.

Agnostics generally don't give a definite answer if there is a god or what he is like.

That's why (most) Christians and Atheists suck donkey balls... They claim to know an "absolute truth" and think everyone else is moronic... I know I'm not helping my case by using such colorful desprictions... but people who think they know for a fact there is no god or that there is a god are some of the most awful people on the planet... I've never been sure about anything, I just know there is a good possibility of an answer....

So the question still stands, what are your reasons for believing that Agnostics are better people than Christians or Atheists?

I am African American and I work in a call center should I be offended? Do white people think that we as African Americans don't know how to speak proper English?

Say they ask "Do you believe in God?" Why does a yes or a no give an automatic "thumbs down?" It is an honest answer even if it is not yours.

If so, what?

For me, as an atheist, the thing that has made me doubt the most is the beauty of the planet and the complexity of the human body. I still remain firm in my beliefs, but those things made me falter a little.

Play nice! :)

I'm a mother of two grown daughters and a grandma of one. I went tho this bank to make a transaction, and the man who attended me was a very handsome black guy, well educated and polite. the transaction was going smooth, and i noticed that while he was typing and stuff, he was flirtting with me. I thought he was kidding, for am a grand mother, average looking, and he was kind of younger than me, but he was not. I felt so flattered that when i came out of the bank, i kept looking myself in the stores mirrors, and saying to myself, dang mama, you still got it! or is it that black men like latino women so much that sometimes, he tries a little bit too hard... i wish i was 20 years younger because... dang! what a wonderful opportunity i had to miss.

"there" instead of "their."
"weather" instead of "whether."
"athiest" instead of "atheist."
"were" instead of "where."
Etc.

Do you find yourself questioning the IQ of those who misspell or use homophonic words?
