I have noticed that a lot of atheist's questions posed have the words "scared" or "afraid" in them. Why do you think they are so frightened? Or if you are an atheist, are you generally afraid?

I don't see how people could hate black children, old men and ladies, and all the funny, lively,and cool sistahs and bros of all ages.
It must be the gangsta and thug types that keep the racists fired up. Then it's a cycle of distrust and mutual rejection that
keeps the anger going.
I work in a 95% black place, so I see all kinds. I'm not racist but I've learned like other blacks how to read people by the way they talk, their eyes, and general attitude rather than skin color. I"m sure the whites that hate blacks don't see the good examples of really funny, bright and loving black people that I see.

Every time I ask one, I get people saying "That would never happen". Whether it would happen is irrelevant - it probably won't. The point is that hypothetical questions cause you to think about your views in new ways. It makes you examine your belief system to see if it holds up even in odd situations.

I just read a response to another question where a woman claimed she "always" submits to her husband in every situation. Is there any exception to this? What if your husband makes a decision that you think is really bad, even wrong? Will you speak up? Will you still submit because in the end he's the man therefore he has the authority?

What are the odds of life arising on its own?
Full blown human? zilch. Accelerated complexity from simplicity? too many to compute (check the multiplication of virii and bacteria in a petri dish with adequate nutrients and the drosophyle mutations after a few generations).
Panspermia? Check the results of astronomic observation: a great many comets show organic compounds and fossilized bacteria (dead end evolution?) were found on Mars. It point towards the odds that life might be more common that we thought.
Created universe? Suggests the creation of this U from some other mega-universe, who created the first one then?
Could god create himself simultaneously with the U?
So what are the odds of the existence of a god? The present human situation on Earth at every level screams for a referee, isn´t he a bit long to appear? If he is past, present and future, isn´t he late?
For every answered prayer, isn´t there a huge majority of miserable people whose prayers stay unanswered?

Evolution is a scientific fact; yet many still believe in the refuted theory of creationism, as well as the god hypothesis. They question the idea of evolution because they believe there to be a lack of evidence to support it yet when their god hypothesis is questioned they just say it's faith. Well; what if atheists started saying that they believed in evolution because of faith?

Hello all! I pray that you are doing well this morning. Today I would just like to share. A lot of people have the idea that they are better Christians than others. I, myself have had fleeting thoughts of "being a better Christian" when I see brothers and sisters who have fallen. Thank God for His Spirit which quickly corrects us. We are all brothers and sisters in Christ. We all fall, occasionally. We just fall in different directions. There is the adulterer, the drug addict, the thief, the boastful, etc. So is the drug addict better than the adulterer? Or is the boastful better than the thief? In God's eyes, no. We are all the same. God extends His mercy to ALL of us. When a fellow Christian falls, shouldn't we extend the same mercy? Of course we cannot be as good as God. But, shouldn't we try to be understanding, instead of thinking " we are a better Christian than they are" and looking at them with pity. What about when we fall?
