people tell me that god surely exists

they tell me hes almighty, all-knowing and omnipotent

every year people die in poverty

now, either (i) god doesnt know about this, or (ii) god does know about this, but doesnt care, or (iii) god does know about this, but cant do anything about it

whichever it is, its clear to see that, at best, the definition of god is completely flawed and misleading, or, that god doesnt exist

therefore god, as defined by theists, doesnt exist

therefore belief in a saviour is folly

I just read some answers from atheists who claim religion holds us back from living life to the fullest. that's sorta true. but if you didn't become an atheist for the right reasons (logically figuring it out), you are messed up. what do you say, my fellow atheists?

I took one and found my way out of the forest. As I walked away, I turned to look at the forest. It was then that I noticed both paths lead me to the same wonderful destination. It is possibe, then, to have multiple paths and experience the same wonderful outcome, isn't it?

Is it the work of God or the well documented and tested placebo effect?

There is a debate if homosexuality is a choice or not. It implies that
if we are able to choose something--it's morally not acceptable
and if we are born as homos--it's acceptable. How come it makes
any sense!! Some people choose to be peodophile--they are not
born pedophile--but some people doesn't choose to be--that's also
a choice. If both choices are acceptable--then certainly homosexuality is. Otherwise, there is a flaw in that argument.
If homosexuality is gentic--then all twins should be exclusively
of the same sexual orientation? Is that the case?
Also, if you find some kind of "KILLER" or "TERRORIST"
gene--will that fact--makes those acts acceptable??

I am a christian and i absolutly belive in God!! It just bothers me that he is a jealous God, but then if we are jealous it is a sin. Read these verses: Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:14, and Joshua 24:19.

My dad had just walked outside, leaving me alone in the house, and I glanced into the kitchen. I saw somebody with a red shirt walking toward the living room, jumped because I got scared half to death, and looked back. There wasn't anyone there.
Another time, I'd been in my room and saw sparkles floating around. At first I'd thought it was light reflecting off of a spider web, so I reached to touch it, (not sure why) but didn't feel anything. So, I left my room and the sparkley-things followed me.

Does anyone know what either of these incidents could've been?


Oh, and before anyone says it, I'm not on drugs. Plus, I was completely awake both times. Please only answer if you have some idea of what it could've been.

I am white but feel so drawn to the music and preaching of a local church not to far from my house. I know the minister, she has come into my workplace and is very nice to me. My job requires me to work on Sundays, so joining the Catholic faith is out because the RCIA class is on Sundays. I have tried to go to the classess on Saturday, but we always fall behind because of weddings, confirmations, baptisims. I don't want to have to choose between my job that I desperatly need and my religion. This seems like 2 questions, so if you could help me out with either of them I would appreciate it.

We were sitting around BS'ing and one guy said he thought a security guard was going to beat his a*s one time for whatever reason (I can't remember). Then I asked him "Did he beat you like a Sunday morning woody?" Everyone was silent for a moment and then they all busted up, was that too politically incorrect?

I would say 10 percent of them are white and 90 percent of them are brown based on pure observation. I consider white looking like anyone who comes from Europe, including the very darkest ones such as Southern Greeks!
