Most seek to not be judged, yet, will spend their entire time on this forum defending the judgement of Christians and Christianity. Then they will say that Christians have brought this onto themselves. Is that a copout or what?

As an atheist you should not believe in anything? Not science not water, not air. Just follow facts.
So you're belief system is science. What ever science comes up with you believe?
What is so different between you and Christians who follow their own book?

This question is only to the real Atheists.

Everytime I mention that Revelation 1:14 says jesus was an albino people jump up and say no he was not. What do they have against albinos?
As a reminder. I have asked this question to hundreds of Christians and i know what a real Christian will answer. So no wannabe Christian's please.
Do any of you remember when you had to go to a carnival to see a tatooed lady?

I know a lot of people are probably fed up with hearing about her - especially cos its nearly the anniversary of her death - but I genuinely miss her - even now, even though I didn't know her.

DID NOAH FISH?
A Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot of
fishing when he was on the Ark ?"
"No," replied David. "How could he, with just two worms?"

If we just die... then what is the point of all the things we went through while we are alive... Wouldn't life be kind of a waste?

Our society looks harshly on those who act with intolerance towards minorites, gays, buddhists, pagans and many other people with differing ideologies and beliefs and yet when it comes to christians many people seem content to cast the first stone against them or at christianity in general. Why do you think that is?

It seems like christianity has become one of the most intolerated, unacceptable things to be these days and many, many people are extremely ignorant about christianity in general and act hatefully, spitefully and with snide towards christians and christianity.

Of course thats not to say their cant be ignorant christians, there are and can be, but why do you think for christianity in particular, this mindset has become acceptable while many other religions are not targeted with such animosity? Something we should all think about...

Your child has a kidney infection and will die if he does not get a new set of them and your wife / husband has a kidney infection and will die if she does not get set of them. Your Kidneys are the only known set that can cure either your spouse or your child's disease. You only have one set of kidneys to donate.

Would you donate your kidney's to your spouse and let your child die?

Would you donate your kidney's to your child and let your spouse die?

Would you not donate your kidneys, let your child and spouse die, and yourself live?

If you do not have both children and spouse give an answer based on if you did have children and a spouse or what you think people in this hypothetical situation should do.

Just wondering how one explains affirmative action to a child, when throughout childhood, we teach them that skin color doesn't matter.

This guy claims to be the second coming of Christ, and claims to be the anti-Christ..."which to him is the next incarnation of Jesus on earth, not an evil being. To show their devotion, some followers ink themselves with "666."

This guy is perplexing...we have crazy televangelists like Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Robert Tilden, James Dobson, etc.....and while these guys are all just as crazy...at least, they are good speakers, they can quote the Bible to support their misdirected theology. You can almost understand how they can sway people to support them

But, this Jesus dude is not a good speaker...he does not quote the Bible well. He is honest about his lack of education, about his wealth/trinkets given to him, about his drinking, smoking, etc... and people still blindly follow this guy, get tattooed with 666, and give a lot of money to him

Any idea how this guy can manipulate so many with such limited talent?

I don't mean to make anyone upset. I am really trying to understand something. I have a friend who is Catholic and simply gave me the "The church said it, so it's right." answer.

So, perhaps people here can help me. What is the evidence of the assumption of the Virgin Mary, the Perpetual Virginity, and the Immaculate Conception? I really mean no disrespect. I am really just curious to see how this teaching came along being that it is one of the major things that divides the Catholic and Protestant sects of Christianity.

Do you believe in a higher power/consciousness? But just not the image of God like the Christians do?
Do you believe in an afterlife? Not like heaven
Anything more than the person you are?

Than ASTRONAUTS who have witnessed UFO's??
Or Physicans.. YOU want to only give creedence to people you think are worthy of your beliefs, but does that make them GOSPEL?
common now..

Astronauts Ed White (first American to walk in space) and James McDivitt were passing over Hawaii in a Gemini spacecraft when they saw a weird-looking metallic object. The UFO had long arms sticking out of it.

In December 1965, Gemini astronauts James Lovell and Frank Borman also saw a UFO during their second orbit of their record-breaking 14 day flight.
According to the NASA Astronaut Neil Armstrong the Aliens have a base on the Moon and told us in no uncertain terms to get off and stay off the Moon.

According to hitherto un-confirmed reports, both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after that historic landing
