If the future hasn't happened, it does not exist.

The future cannot come, because the day in the future becomes the present.

Jupiter is an entirely respectable God. There is just as much proof of His existence as that of any other God, so why are there so many conservative atheists? This smells of rank bigotry.

Jupiter is renowned for the power of His lightning bolts. OK, so He played around with a few nymphs and maybe an animal or two. But, hey! Nobody’s perfect! What about Bush in college?

At least, Jupiter was married and had a Holy Family. We have proof that he wasn't gay. That should count for something with conservative atheists.

And he raised not One, but several Children, all of Whom took their place in the Heavens. Doesn't a large family count with conservative atheists?

And Jupiter remained with His wife, Juno, in spite of Her constant scolding about little peccadilloes. That should also appeal to conservatives.

This is a nation in which no religion is persecuted. We should stop this discrimination.

You conservative atheists are just bigoted hypocrites. Shame on you!

I'd dearly love to live in the mountains, but it isn't going to happen. My husband grew up in a small town (suburb of Lancaster, Pa.), and is a converted city fellow. He wants to be within a half-hour of all amenities -- groceries, gasoline, shopping, bowling, movies and performance venues.

No country bumpkin he.

Gosh, I'd love to hear the breeze soughing in the trees, the brook babbling over the rocks and the rocker creaking back and forth, back and forth.

(Neither of us is a beach person, thank goodness.)

I am not a homophobe. I have no problem with men or women being homosexual. It just seems that gay men are always acting like a bunch of junior high kids. They're always talking about how cute this guy is or who they like but he likes someone else who likes someone else. And why do they have to wear so many rainbow bands or slogan shirts with gay innuendo. I recently saw a shirt that said "looking for a few good men" and had a marine on the front. Does anyone else find gay men in their 20's and 30's immature. To me relationships are sacred and it just seems alot of homosexual men acts as though it is a sport.

On this site I have seen theists state "Science explains the 'how' and (my) religion explains the 'why'" (I added the 'my' but it is implicit in the answer). But does it really? Because I don't really think a little hand-waving and saying "well, God wanted/did it" is much of an answer. Especially given that there are many other religions making the exact same claim.

Is religion often more of an excuse to avoid or stop thinking about the hard questions?

Why is 1/3 of the U.S. considered obese? What makes modern day living and eating habbits different than from 50 or 100 years ago. Why are we getting so fat and what can we do to help solve the obesity crisis?

It was not so long ago but here is my basic idea: why would one person suffer over another if they are devout? I got some very accusatory answers from the few people who did answer. What say ye?

An 85-year-old couple, after being happily married for almost 60 years, died together in a car crash. They had been in good health the last ten years, mainly due to Mom's interest in health food and proper diet. When they reached the Pearly Gates, St. Peter took them to their luxury mansion, which was decked out with a beautiful kitchen, master bedroom suite and a fancy in-house jacuzzi.

The old man asked St. Peter how much all this was going to cost. "It's free," St. Peter replied, "this is Heaven." Next, they went out the back yard to survey the championship-style golf course that the home faced upon. They would have golfing privileges every day. In addition, it changed to a new one daily, representing the greatest golf courses on Earth. The old man asked, "So, what are the green fees?" St. Peter replied, "This is Heaven, you play for free!"

If we are all descended from Adam and Eve, then that means their children had to have incestuous sex to spawn humanity. Thus, all humans are the result of incest.

How do Xians try to explain this one away? Or are they happy being products of incest?

I didn't like to read Proverbs because it was and still is a very difficult book to digest. This is a book on wisdom and how to use it! The verse "Whoever takes crooked paths will be found out" is so true. Just think about it. This applies to the highest to the lowest. If you're engaging in something that's unlawful or illegal (Politicians, or common day thugs) it's only a matter of time before your activity comes to light and you're exposed. I can't recall the actual verse but I'm sure that you could look it up on the internet. The book of Proverbs is chocked full of good advice even for the 21st century! It's an awesome book! What do you think?
