DO NOT POST ANY ANSWERS IF YOU WILL NOT READ THIS...

Before Christians and antichrists start biting heads off for this topic, I want you to hear my thoughts on religion.

Religions have never been proven by the naked eye but by documents of composition. The Christian religion is based upon surviving words. If the Gods truly exist in any religion, where are the most miraculous miracles that were depicted? It may be luck by time or position, yet many thinks of it as a miracle. Why is it so hard for a Christian to convert one’s mind about one’s religion? Yet so easy to convert a non-believer to become a Christian? Isn't it just desperation for a belief of gift? The gift of eternal purity? Selfishness?

I can go days on about the existence of supernatural power. Religion has been a part of society inside and out. People were forced by government to believe in religion. Die for religion. Kill for religion. Sacrifice for religion.

Are we blinded by religion+society? Think 1984!

I'm serious. I want to know why people buy into bizarre conspiracy theories when secular historians say that Jesus existed. Some details are disputed. But that there was a Jesus of Nazareth, born of Mary and crucified by the Romans there is no doubt.

Gosh... the absurdity of some beliefs is overwhelming. Life after death...??? Prayer...? Personal relationships with spirits and invisable gods...?

Yo believers.... Have you considered yourselves lately... have you thought about how you appear to others..?

Muslims believe that if they die defending god, they go straight to 7th heaven and recieve special rewards. It's nuts, isn't it..?

We hear of :: let's get real, real man/woman, being real, really love you, real love/sex/good food. Do some of these expressions say things that are specific or have many interpretations and levels? I am getting REAL LOST! Please

Christians are always saying that homosexuals are not natural and that god does not approve of them. But how about the many animals in nature that are gay? Like the dwarf chim­pan­zee, or bo­no­bo, one of hu­man­i­ty’s closest rel­a­tives. Or the dolphin or the killer whale? Did these animals somehow become perverted in their life time and get influenced by satan? One would think that what happens in nature would be considered natural, no? I am just confused on your views, please clarify this.

without a god to declare purpose, life is in a larger sense, meaningless. why care?

nevertheless, we do care. and it's this caring that, in effect, gives hope. from this, a set of values and perhaps a meaning to life can be found.

this brings up the question: why does anyone anywhere have this desire to make the world around them just a little bit better? having this motivation for no reason seems almost irrational. isn't it more logical to be apathetic?

since ill be moving to the uk someday, i dont want to forget my Spanish. i would love to find people who will speak it there lol. unless i find people who speak it there, then ill be more prone to forget it over time. especially my Spanish writing skills. i know i wont always be able to talk to my family on the phone, it just wont be the same than living with them and speaking spanish with them. please dont take this hte wrong way, im not in any way saying that i will refuse to integrate into British culture, i am willing to throw my American ways out the window LOL. but i certainly dont want to forget my first language when i move there, i will just want to find someone to speak it with. i would be devastated if i did lose my Spanish.

Do some people say "hon" or "honey"? It's really annoying. I don't care that you're old enough to be my mother, don't say "hon". It's condescending and it sounds like you're trying to assert your supposed authority through your age. The point of the internet is that it's a level playing field by virtue of its anonymity. So next time you even think about saying "hon", stop.

I mean, here are the Atheists, enjoying life, having a good time, not feeling any guilt, watching the game AND they get to keep all their money. That is enough to make some people very angry, Don't you think?

As I understand it, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that Jesus was speaking about 1914 when he said "This generation will by no means pass away until all these things occur."

1914 was 93 years ago... it seems that there couldn't be many living Jehovah's Witnesses remaining who are this old. Does the Watchtower Society keep track of how many there are left today? Honest question. Thanks.

Cain and Abel both made sacrifices to god, Abel gave god a "good sacrifice" while Abel gave god a "bad sacrifice". Isn't good and a bad all in the perception of the person thinking about it? So, why did god accept Abel's sacrifice while not accepting Cain's?

What happens next in the story, after the sacrifice, does God talk to Cain?

I don't mean to judge anyone...how many christians do you think really consider if passages in the bible are wholly accurage or do they just follow it blindly? not questioning whether the vatican did any editing of its own.

For example, I read somewhere that passages regarding reincarnation and chakras were taken out of the new testament during the 3rd century. If such were to be proven true, would christians be open to adopting these ideas?

- At the very least, why don't most people take the time to learn about ALL theories?

I'm an athiest, so swearing on the bible is no more convincing me not to lie than swearing on any other book, but that doesn't mean I'm going to lie because contrary to popular belief I actually have morals. What the hell is the bible gonna do to me if I do lie?

Firstly I'm not an atheist What good comes out of religion when they wish hell apon others by playing satmatics by saying that everyones else is going to hell? That's called dispising someone and it's evil not only that but religion is why so people go to war to fight each other, and kill each other. Religion also aborts the idea that killing animals for food is evil in fact it's evil how would you like to killed for someone elses food? Wouldn't that be evil? And don't say I'm angry I'm calm right now. When will you people wake up and realise that it's one big lie just so that they can scam money out of you and power. I believe that there is a god but I don't believe he/she set any rules for us like religion would make you believe or should I say brainwash you with when your a child. And knowing you this won't even change your mind right because you would hate to admit that actually wrong and when you die you will find out the truth that your never truley coming back.
