the natural world of cellular and multicellular life? How can one believe what is in text, and then not believe what is textbooks?

Please understand - it’s not the "blind faith" that I have an issue with, it’s the incongruence in application of the “blind faith”.

For example, I have a Christian co-worker who is a wonderful man - he can tell me about his Christian belief system and talks of his blind faith. But when any discussion about life science and/or mainstream information comes to light about less than appropriate governmental/corporate/global actions, his immediate response is, "I need to see proof"...

I find it so very interesting that one can have such strong "blind faith" for religion with the requirement for proof of everything else...

What are your thoughts?

THANKS FOR THE ANSWERS....

Too many people in this forum seem to think atheist have no basic morals (or whatever you want to call it). I have certain rules I abide by and they are very important to me.

As a Christian, if you knew you were doing something at the time that was wrong, does that mean you are no longer able to repent? Heb 10:23 is scaring me on this one.

Does the message of Tolerance deny the reasonable right of self-preservation? Many feel that the right to self preservation supersedes the principle of tolerance. What do you think?

America is supposed to be a leading country today. Yet on producing scientists we rank world-wide number 25? How come we're a rich country yet an average American is stupid. How is that we're supposed to be a "melting pot" yet racist still lives on strongly. Immigrants come here hoping for a better life, some were told in America the streets are paved with gold, yet when they come they work long hours for minor wage.
Is America really that great? Now don't get me wrong I live in NYC, and I'm happy here but I'm just saying...

I have no intention of building a new "religion" group. My idea is to build a website that would grow into a center of guidance for doubting people, with ramifications going into many subjects like medical, philosophical, engineering, ecology and environment, political awareness, forums and blogs, and above all an ethical charter that would guarantee respect to all and to offer answers when they are available and reports on the limits of knowledge when they are not.
This may sound utopical and it would certainly start very small, but with the help of writers that could post articles and physicians that could counsel the faith depressed, some activist goals and the search for some sponsors, this might just launch.
Ok if this is BS just tell me, I´m just trying to unite in ideology, not to build a cult.
Common sense should not need rescuing, but it does. Especially now.

I have family in Colombia and I visit them between 1 to 3 months every other year, but I still have a heavy American accent. Is there a way to eliminate it or at least reduce it? Will regular classes with a native speaker work? Will practicing with a tape recorder over and over certain words work?

promoting their own cultures racism and prejudice ? Seems to me anyone who will not believe in their faiths is "evil" or an "infidel." Seems many of these words only say destroy, kill and "obey" or else. After so many centuries nobody wants to hear all these "holy" criticisms anymore. Anybody else think all these religions need to find the psychological flaws in all of what they push as being "of their God ?"

usage of the word?

(this question is directed, of course, to atheists that were once adherents to some form of the theistic religion)

I myself had only heard the word used in a negative context, and I generally lopped atheists into the same category as theistic satanists and the like (which were all oh so despicable :p ) without really knowing what the term meant.

Spring Fever

Four high school boys afflicted with spring fever skipped morning classes. After lunch they reported to the teacher that they had a flat tire.

Much to their relief she smiled and said, "Well, you missed a test today so take seats apart from one another and take out a piece of paper."

Still smiling, she waited for them to sit down. Then she said: "First Question: Which tire was flat?"

What exactly is it about, and is it safe to say that forgiveness, considering Joseph took care of his brothers, is a theme?

2007-08-18 15:38:41 · 11 answers · asked by H 1 in Religion & Spirituality

First off, doesn't it stop becoming "personal" when you Christ Cultists congregate or try to spread you BS religion to other cultures? Personal means you go into your bedroom , lock the door and dance around with snakes, talk to yourself (pray) or read some fiction (the bible).

Secondly, the whole Idea of a relationship with a person you have never met or even worse a deity that doesn't exist seems borderline delusional...wait, it is delusional. With that logic I can claim I have a relationship with Winona Ryder even though I have never met her, spoken to her. Hell my relationship with her has more substance because I can at least look at a picture of her and get wood.

I hope most of you realize I'm not looking for your name but what you feel you actually are.

Normally I'd give you my thoughts in order to give you a starting point but this time I want you to give me the starting point :)

"When you meet a swordsman, meet him with a sword. Do not offer a poem to anyone but a poet."

I´m really tired of religious supremacy in numbers. I´m sure that atheists will be for a long time a minority, but the minority that acts from a position of power can lead the masses. This century is the century of connectivity. Today, a lone heretic is not really alone anymore, and acting in concert can go a long way to influence the way the tide rises.

Even if massive amounts of money are being invested by those religious institutions to further their aims, the cause of the atheist can be helped by guerrilla marketing tactics.

I´m asking you if you ever had an idea that you want to share about making the atheist cause stronger.

I´m not talking about fanaticism, I´m talking about tenacity... big difference.
