Have you ever wondered whether our lives are where they are because of our own decisions or because of situations beyond the control of our decisions and how would you decide honestly which had the greater influence??

I'll be leaving on vacation for a month. Just wanted to tell everyone that it has been great reading questions and answers from both sides. I am certain that it will continue as well as repeated questions being posted.

In closing I'd like to leave you with this quote

"I turned to speak to God, About the world's despair; But to make bad matters worse, I found God wasn't there."

"Forgive, O Lord, my little joke on Thee and I'll forgive Thy great big one on me."

"I hold it to be the inalienable right of anybody to go to hell in his own way."

-Robert Frost, American poet

Is it acceptable to be fat in the black culture? In the white, asian, and indian cultures, being skinny is highly valued. Theyre ridiculed for having a bit of meat. In the black culture, I've seen many beautiful women, as well as way too many fat (obese) black women with really tight jeans and like really tiny short tight shirts and it seems like they're not embarasses and seem to be happy with themselves.

Q:Why is God such a bully? Does he need a time out?
He floods the Earth and watches all the innocent little creatures drown. He make stars go nova to watch them blow up. He watches wars like some people watch the History Channel. He even let His own son come to Earth and killed without stopping it.

and a Christian answers
"He does those things out of love."

so God kills us out of love so nice of him don't you think

How many of you Christians get some kind of pleasure or enjoyment from the belief that people who argue with you about religion or disagree with your religious beliefs will someday burn in and and know that you were right?

PLEASE, if you are a Christian and this is not you, I do not care to hear from you this time. I am only interested in hearing from the Christians who get some type of amusement from the idea of people who oppose them burning in hell.

here what i think personally. God is just a state of mind, he or she which ever you prefere is something that human beings need to hang on to, something to have faith in when times get touph or when one is lonley. I dont really think that "in the beginning" God made the man and all that (if i may say so) crap, because how does evolution, the dinosours, the fact that he only made two people (adam and eve) and they managed to populate the whole world even though they gave birth to two sons. how he managed to flood the world and it was repopolated by moses and his FAMILY.

please dont think i'm a cold blodded atheist, i did used to be a christian and i am only 16.

Doesn't the fact that creationists cannot agree whether they are "fully ape" or "fully human" tell you something?

I'm not Mormon, but I have nothing against it. I just thought it was interesting to know.

The way I put it, if we have 13 million mormons now and 267 by the end of the century, that's more than 20 times more than what we have today so the question came to mind. I only wanted to pass it on.

I work a pool as an attendent where a I met a lady who I have house sat for while she was on vacation. She also had asked me if I would be intersted in looking after her elderly mother who was in a home, just so she could have company. Yesterday she came to the pool and let me know that her mom had passed away, so she would not be calling me about the job. We had a really nice and long conversation where she told me about her mom, the funeral, and I let her know how sorry I was for her loss. My question is, should I send a letter of condolence even though I have already talked with her? I would love to send her a letter with a donation made in her mother's name to a charity or something but I have no money (litterally). So please let me know what you think. Thanks

PS-I actually have got to know her a lot though seeing her and her kids for the last two summers so it's not like I just met her a couple times.

do you always read the questions that start out, "For Christians only."?

Christians: do you usually click on the questions that start out, "Fellow atheists"?

I'll go first. I was raised attending Lutheran and Baptist churches all over (on my father's own accord), but was enrolled in a Catholic elementary school, though only for the higher quality of education that can be found in a private school. Naturally, at the time I never once noticed the contradictions present between the mandatory Catholic mass on Friday mornings and the Baptist sermon I'd sit through each Sunday. As a child, I was never really told more about religion than the whole "God loves you, so you should do the same" policy, nor did I think about it much, but whenever I did, the one thing that always scared the hell out of me was the concept of eternity, something that could never end even if you wanted it to (this was in relation to heaven, not hell). I only recently came to be interested in religion a mere two years. Your turn.

Since god reveals itself in nature but the rules weren't written until Moses was handed the tablets and then the rules changed again by having to accept Jesus as your savior, why does the Christian god keep being so short sighted and changing the rules?

Which revision of previous religions are we supposed to believe?
