I turn 26 in a few months. I dont want to leave my 20s without having thoroughly enjoyed it.

Is there anything you wished you had done when you were younger? Or anything you are glad that you did? You only go around once, and you have to make the most of it!!

"Philosophers agreed long ago that it is fruitless for believers and atheists to argue with each other. This is because they interpret *everything* differently. In order to argue, there must be some common ground, so that one of the participants can say 'Aha! If you concede x, then you must also concede y!' Atheists and believers never find an x they can agree upon. The argument can never begin, because each sees *everything* from his own point of view" (98).

I think it's a good point, but I don't agree that intelligent debate is impossible - just rare. What do you think?

Please elaborate. How did it feel? Or did you only "suspect" that feeling might be God? Or did you think you just imagined it?

Were you always one, or did you grow out of your faith. And do you still have an approach to life to deal with your problems and what is that.

Thinking of converting... this god stuff is just not working for me.

Looking at the society as a whole, what role do atheists fulfill when they are a small minority (such as the US)?

How does this role change in a strongly Non-Theistic society (such as much of northern Europe)?

Is there a place where I can buy something to block the cussing and any other things I'm not supposed to hear or see in these games? Would that make it acceptable if I get something that blocks it out?

Seriously, does anyone really think that God will send all of those who aren't of a certain religion to hell just because of that? And not take into consideration that all they've ever done is follow Him and His gospel? I don't think he would. What do you think?

Are you remolded through our minds from within or are we hypnotized by the brainwashing of knowledge from without?

Understanding is that which the Declaration of Independence calls self-evident truth, testifying to cultural truths encoded in language, testifying to truths solidified and sculptured in science, and in creation.
All education, lest it become neurotic and lopsided, should contain essences of both these forms of knowing.

If you are only "out-form" , you are lopsided;
If you are both "in-form" and "out-form" you are balance with the right Understanding (Living Knowledge and not dead letter that kills)

How were you being educated ?
Are you lopsided or balance?

What say you all?

Does the Bible contain God's plan for the world? Does it explain life, and why we live, and what purpose there is in it? By reading it, do you gain knowledge about the universe?

For behold, this life is the time for men to prepare to meet God; yea, behold the day of this life is the day for men to perform their dlabors.
And now, as I said unto you before, as ye have had so many witnesses, therefore, I beseech of you that ye do not procrastinate the day of your repentance until the end; for after this day of life, which is given us to prepare for eternity, behold, if we do not improve our time while in this life, then cometh the night of darkness wherein there can be no labor performed.
Ye cannot say, when ye are brought to that awful crisis, that I will repent, that I will return to my God. Nay, ye cannot say this; for that same spirit which doth possess your bodies at the time that ye go out of this life, that same spirit will have power to possess your body in that eternal world.
For behold, if ye have procrastinated the day of your repentance even until death, behold, ye have become subjected to the spirit of the devil,

Also, I will see people not holding hands, but holding their hands out with their palms toward the priest and praying the our father. Is this acceptable? I thought I had heard once that you should never pray over a priest?.....Maybe this doesnt count as praying over a priest I guess I am just trying to understand why we do this in America but I have not seen it in other countries?

Not saying I do or do not believe in it. I want to hear from you.
Can this be proven so that it can't be refuted?

Jesus is only present in the Gospels... Why should we listen to what other people, who were not Jesus or followed him in his life, say?

Can someone please tell me why our young people, and I mean alot of them are "real" young people, use such awful, foul, and offensive language these days? I am offended and ashamed of the way alot of the younger generation use slang terminology these days. What happened to respect? It's just shocking to hear kids these days talk about anything because the only way they seem to can communicate is in slang language. What a shame! What happen to self respect, and respect for others?

There is so much drama... and anger coming from both sides of the fence here. **Do you really hate one another?
I can honestly see why both sides believe the way they believe. I believe in God and I have had personal experiences that Atheists have not, and I cannot prove that to you... which leads to the reason why I see the Atheist side as well. If I had not had the experiences I have had to lead to believe in God, I might be Atheist... but I am not. The reason I am pointing out Atheist and Christians is because that is the two that seem to be fighting so much. I wanna know, do you really hate each other that much? Can't you just accept that each person has their own way of living and you can't force each other to believe in one way or another? If you are gonna answer "Well they do so I am gonna do it back," don't bother. That isn't a justifiable answer, you have to claim your to your own behavior.
