Most people think religion will come to an end when everyone has converted to Atheism. It would seem to make sense. But if it happened wouldn’t the converts still secretly have some residual religious feelings?

If however everyone converted to Christianity religion would ultimately go through the Easter Island style faith crises and religion could take a permanent death from disillusionment. I mean it’s been 2000 years waiting for the second coming. If everyone were converted how long would we continue to wait before we figured out that it isn’t going to happen?

Personally I couldn’t force myself to believe in a “Literal” god, but it could get religion back on track, doing what it should do, providing celebrations and rituals for the stages of our lives and promoting well being, rather then being self serving and divisive. I’m sure such an idealized notion of religion is naïve but one can hope.

What say you?

Here it says that Brigham, 2nd President of the Church of Jesus Christ and Latter Day Saints was divorced and separated from 12 of his 51 women and Henry VIII only had 6 wives. But they both started churches so that they could have more women.

It's amazing everything these men had in common and everything they did in their power to have more women.

I cannot answer this question from my eight year old grandson.

He and his six friends have decided that they are not religious because...

If there was nothing in the beginning, how could God create himself?

Some question from an 8 year old!

I want to know the best venue for apologizing to Mormons. My parents were Christians and I know how Mormons view Christians. I want to make it clear however, that my family never said anything bias against Mormons but they did not practice polygamy.

The good news is that I want to become a Mormon and already have my wives picked out. How can I speak to some Mormon missionaries about the conversion process (especially female missionaries)?

Thanks for your help! Many Celestial Greetings!

Let's face it, nobody wants women hanging around selling sex in dangerous streets. Why not have legal brothels, where women are safe and receive health checks? The profession exists, always has, and won't go away, so we might as well be mature about it. Do you agree? If not, why not?

I was dead for millions of years before I was born and it never inconvenienced me a bit.
-- Mark Twain (attributed: source unknown)


You can never find a Christian who has acquired this valuable knowledge, this saving knowledge, by any process but the everlasting and all-sufficient "people say."
-- Mark Twain, Autobiography


One of the proofs of the immortality of the soul is that myriads have believed in it. They have also believed the world was flat.
-- Mark Twain, Notebook (1900)

The gods offer no rewards for intellect. There was never one yet that showed any interest in it.
-- Mark Twain, Notebook

God's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn.
-- Mark Twain, Notebook

Irreverence is another person's disrespect to your god; there isn't any word that tells what your disrespect to his god is.
-- Mark Twain, The Mysterious Stranger

A man is accepted into a church for what he believes and he is turned out for what he knows.

-- Mark Twain, quoted from Barbara Schmidt, ed., "Mark Twain Quotations, Newspaper Collections, & Related Resources"

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one

1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptise cats.

2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.

3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the second person.

4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato.

5) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.

6) Don't sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.

7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time
.
8) You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk.

9) Don't wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.

10) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandpa's lap.


Just a bit of humor for everyone. Have a nice day/night!

no hell...

peace... forever...

eternal love...

and all you have to do is... nothing.

like the monk who set himself on fire. and sat. burning. all to protest againts the vietnam war.

so at peace with themselves.
I could settle as an atheist in those countries.
open to creation stories, because christianity is flawed because it tries to explain our coming to existance.

foolish of them, because we have discovered this long ago.
