Society & Culture - 30 August 2007

Atheists are always questioning the existance of god and jesus and whether or not the bible is true, but christians automatically state that Atheists are wrong, and sinful. You christians seem to forget to question your beliefs.

Can you ever forget about religion for awhile? Maybe accept everyone else as people? Trust me, I am accepting you christians as people, I just don't see why you shouldn't accept me because I am not religious.

If you are religious and do what my question asks, then move on and continue to be blind by religion. But hopefully, you have thought about things, and can come up with a nice answer.

Do you think we'll ever truly know what happened?

Follow up question:

Aren't Atheists just big babies?

Was Jesus born as an atheist?

Oh, and while you are at it, explain infinity. Give enough details for a good understanding.

I also have a New World Translation which of course has been seriously tampered with but is useful because it has an index. What I am really looking for is a fairly faithful copy with an index in a more modern style, you know without the thees and thous. Thank You.

It's strange really, I feel nauseous in the early evenings when I wake up, I have the oddest cravings (onion soup mixed w/ pumpkin juice) I'm normally so focus and in control and yet lately I've been afflicted with mood swings. I don't understand I haven't "been" with anyone since 1947 and.....I'm male...either parthenogenesis is a side effect of 7 horcuxes or this is a sign from a diety or dieties who's existance I've always rejected. What do you think, could I be indeed with child?

that attorney general ashcroft was probably a good example. He prayed every morning and based his work ethics on a make believe fairy tale god. Would you want people like that making decisions that affect your companies future?

We don't keep someone at our jail 24/7 (the donut shop is at least 20 mins away). This is one a clever guy, and I don't want to strain my men.

What games should we keep in his cell to keep him occupied while we aren't there?

Of course, the majority who read this question have already subscribed. So for you, I guess you're safe from eternal suffering.

But why is it that people believe in a God that would punish your eternal soul for questioning the unknown, or being human that is?

Would it not be better to believe in a loving and understanding being? One that might understand how complex the concepts of heaven, hell, the universe, life and the afterlife really are?

I think we deserve this much.

To blindly follow the crowd is one thing, but when the crowd turns and throws stones and epic warnings at non-believers as is the state of things, the milk turns sour.

"Pray or Die" as I believe Bill Hick's once put it.

Will future generations see these times and religious delusions as primitive? To think we are still at this place in our time is unsettling to me.

Why not just believe and cover all of the bases? I ask you would you want to believe in a God that punished your soul for thinking?

From what I understand, if Christianity did not exist neither would Islam. I am asking because of a previous question. It seems that Muhammad was influenced by Christianity, and even was provided a safe house by a Christian. I have a hard time believing that Islam would have even ever existed without Christianity. This is not even including the fact that one of their most revered prophets is Jesus.

With the exception of polytheism in Greek Mythology.....
Can Zeus be compared to God?
Can Heaven be compared to Mt. Olympus?
Can Hades(the god) be compared to the devil?
Can Hades(the place) be compared to Hell?

By the way, I am agnostic but I just hate when people attempt to prostylitize me when their beliefs could be called "mythology" in a thousand years or so.

I know many will say, "ordinary day, doing every day thing", but remember THOUSANDS of people will remember their loved ones KILLED that day and to this day have NO CLEAR information on why their governments didn't protected them. So WHAT ARE YOU DOING as a civilian to avoid another 9/11 or a like.

It is not my intent to defend or an act in a manner that would discredit Christianity. My question is merely speculative, and all opinions are welcomed.

Let us imagine that Jesus was never worshiped, and Christianity was non existent. What do you think the state of our world would be in today. This also effects a variety of other religions, even Islam as Jesus played a large factor in their beliefs. The question I ask is of course vague, this is the reason I ask it because I haven't a clue what we would be like. Do you think that Christianity has served as a means towards the advancement of all societies, or a degradation of all societies?
