I've heard plenty of you saying that Atheists have no system of morals, because they have no holy book.

Incorrect.

I'm not just going to spit back the old schpeel about the crusades and whatnot. This isn't an anti-religious tirade (although the more devout among you may decide to see it that way).

MANY Atheists in the USA were raised Christian or catholic. The teachings of the Bible, as they relate to morality, still ring true with me. Don't kill, don't steal, don't lie. As an Atheist, however, I'm able to look other the bible and ignore what I feel to be archaic and foolish. 'Do not want' is in this category; desire drives us to succeed and acquire. The fact that some people skip steps and abuse the first three rules to acquire shouldn't screw us all.

Those born without religious influence, I can't presume to speak for you, so I'll just guess.

Religions should be believed in not because it makes one feel good or fills a whole one's life, but because it is true.

anyone who does this?

It pleasures him to see all the 'company people' act so concerned & upset... He truly hopes each & everyday he comes into work that the company falls short of its goals. Not that he's not going to do his work, he will do it the best he can but still is very pleased when the company fails.

Everyone else's morale is down, worried about getting fired/laid-off, and he's prancing around like a fairy .... what is wrong with him?

I have only been able to find one four-second clip on youtube that says it is the dumbest thing they have ever heard. I am intrigued. What is this reptilian bird and what does it signify? What lofty secrets of idiocy are trapped within its jaws/beak? It consumes me!!! I must know!!

beg, or do you go into prayer with the absolute knowingness (extreme faith) that what you pray for will become so?

Your thoughts?

Just wondering.

I also believe that the Bible teaches this. But I would like to know your thoughts concerning a particular Scripture ?

1 Timothy 2:4 -

"(God) desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth." (insert mine)

How do you reconcile this with the election teaching that God chooses some, but not others, for salvation ?

Your thoughts, please ? Any quotes from Bible teachers which are relevant ? Links to any useful websites ?

Thanks in advance for your time.

May the Lord bless you.

I asked this question a few minutes ago and everyone wants sources. The sources and steps are below.

Scientists have proven that the earth was truely "formed" in the same steps described in Genesis! This evidence was only discovered recently. So how did Moses get it right?

bible:
1. light
2. land
3. water
4. firmament
5. birds and sea creatures
6. wild beasts, humans
7. rest

science:
1. sun (gravitational pull / light)
2. layers of the earth (land)
3. water
4. heavy astroid bombardment, forcing steam to escape creating firmament or 2nd atmosphere
5. sea life
6. animal life
7...

I do not celebrate Christmas for a myriad of reasons, both religious and personal - I am, however, dating someone who does celebrate, but as more of a familial than religious thing. He wants to involve me in the familial gatherings and such, and I am not sure how to do this. How do I handle that this year? I don't want to offend anyone, but at the same time, feel uncomfortable celebrating something I am not on board with. How do I handle the traditions and gifting and other things while not being anti-social or offensive? I want this to go smoothly, but don't want to have to compromise my own beliefs.

My girlfriend and I broke up just this last Thursday. We are still really close... and care about eachother, but it's obvious to both of us that this time it's really over. I still want to be with her and this is very hard for me.

Originally I am from Portland, OR. And since I was 13 years old I have had a huge crush on a guy. Usually it was mutual, but we always managed to be seeing other people. I would normally tell all my friends that I would leave ANYONE for him.

Since we've broken up I'm making a 400 mile drive up to visit. This guy wants to see me. Says he'll get us a nice room for the night. But, I still want to be with my ex. I know that if I meet this guy up there, it'll be completely over for my ex and I .

I've always wanted to be with him, and I DO understand that it's probably a one night thing.

AND I think it really it is over. Even though I don't want it to be...

I don't know what to do...
