So illiterates will know what days to stay at home, when the probability of the Anti-Christ's return is highest? Or is there already a warning system in place?

Or was he/she/it really there in the first place? Is god and most other 'entities' a figment of people's imaginations to comfort them in some way, or do people just like to follow like sheep and believe whatever they are told.

If there was a scale where the top was good and the bottom was evil, then at what point would it change? Regardless of where you are on that scale the upper part is always better (more good) and the lower part is always worse (more evil).

- "Just as the ocean cannot be contained in a tea cup, the infinite God cannot be contained in the finite body of Jesus."
- God Is All-Powerful.....But Jesus Was Not
God Does Not Have A God.....But Jesus Did Have A God
- According to the Bible, God is an invisible spirit.... But Jesus Was Flesh And Blood
- NO ONE IS GREATER THAN GOD AND NO ONE CAN DIRECT HIM...
BUT JESUS ACKNOWLEDGED
SOMEONE GREATER THAN HIMSELF WHOSE...
Will Was Distinct From His Own
- The Church recognises the Bible as the primary source of knowledge about God and Jesus. But since the Bible makes it clear that Jesus is not the Supreme Being and the Supreme Being is not Jesus, upon what basis have you come to believe otherwise?

The belief that the Supreme Being is a Trinity is false and completely inconsistent with the words of Jesus as presented in the Bible. God is one, not three. He is a perfect unity.

It's amazing what churchmen will argue on behalf of their imaginary friend:

Then they wonder why nobody takes them seriously.

Do you ever really stop to ponder your own mortality?

Recent events have caused me to stop and think.... what if.. what if I was killed today?

Wow! What a thought. I am too much of a mess!

Every time I pass a cemetary I cross myself. I pray for the souls that have passed on, but I know this is supposed to help remind me to think of my own mortality.. and I am not very good at doing that. But ... boy I should have been!

If ever I felt an incentive to get my act together it is right now.... thinking of past tragedies like Virginia Tech... of Iraq... of terrorism... of murder...

Here are some quotes I found:

"Death's awful mystery comes upon us suddenly, and soul and body are violently severed, divorced from their natural union by the will of God. What shall we do at that hour if we have not thought of it beforehand, if we have not been instructed concerning this eventuality and find ourselves unprepared?" Holy New Hieromartyr Barlaam

Why are there so many different religions, when fundamentally faiths such as Jewadism, Islam and Christianity (apologises to other major faiths that I have missed out) are the same in the aspects of:
Believing and praying to one God, acting according on earth to gain rewards in the after life, promoting peace and the final day of judgement. I know that certain things set different faiths apart, but fundamentally aren't they not all the same...so why so many arguments????

I don't believe in a royalty comes from family.It's nonsense.Lots of useless people are respected,they'd be regarded as useless people if they weren't born in these families.Those families didn't do anything in the past but had great lives with common people's taxes.So why do people think they're important?I think they're burdens on societies.

my girlfriend just had a worrying experience. she got out of bed this morning and sat down. her belly began to hurt and she began to breathe hard and feel very weak. She was covered in sweat and suddenly lost her vision. She felt like she was about to faint and like she couldn't move. We think she was in this state for around 10 minutes until she could again move.

We are quite worried that this might be indicating inminent and serious health issues. Anyone know what these symptons are???

the bible is contradictory, therefore the bible is not the words of God. Men wrote the bible, and therefore men say it is the words of God but when they write by inspiration, the source cannot be completely Known for sure

Do you really think Earth belongs to you, or do you honestly believe that the entire Earth should be backing you like the U.S is doing. What would Israel be, if the world was like the US? Hmmm. Screw them?

If you think something is wrong with talking to yourself, think again. God talked to himself in the book of Genisus (Bible), when he said "Let there be light"!
I just thought about that. Ha, Ha, Ha! If you agree give me an amen and you will have answered my question as the best answer. What do ya think?

Maybe consumer reports or some other consumer protection agency has statistics on this because you know it is not easy choosing a god to worship what with all the false gods, lazy gods and well... gods who just don't answer prayers. Did you get your pony for xmas? how satisfied were you on a scale of 1 to10? What debt did you pay per prayer request?

One of the most frustrating things for me as an atheist is the constant assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm a university student, I read and researched the bible extensively as a teenager, my bookcase is full of books on philosophical and religious considerations, I was brought up in highly religious communities, I went the four different primary schools and they were all CofE. Clearly, I know nothing about religion.
