i was catholic up until 2 days ago. now i am on the borderline between believing. i only think logically, i have the hardest time understanding faith. last time i tried faith it doesnt make me feel better its like a false sense of security. there are good arguments on both sides but i see better ones on the Athiest side. also if i ever trying talking to christians i ALWAYS get harrassed or get interrogated. the only answers i get are just believe u dont want to burn do u? i dont need scare tactics.
but if i ask an atheist he is open minded and sorry to say..he / she sounds smarter.

ok, I just dont get it. theres this girl I work with, and I hear from alot of people that she hates me. She started after me, and I never really introduced myself to her, But I dont do that to many people, because turnover is so high. Well my other coworkers tell me that she talks about me and says Im a B*tch, and that I was mean to her. lol she doesnt even know me. I go out with a bunch of coworkers on thursday nights, and she didnt go a few weeks ago because I was going. and she actually did come out with us last night and I guess she told people before she went out that she might do it again if I'm not a b*tch to her. lol I have no idea what shes talking about. I just assume that shes jealous of something, and take it as a compliment. Just wonder why she would give someone she hates so much control over her social life like that, lol. Well, anyways... why is she like this and how can I deal with it?

One of my friends had a scary thing happen to her. A while ago she received a a text message on her phone that read, "0 degrees below farenheit". She got it at exactly 3:33 AM, which I have been told is the number of the dead. At the same time she woke up, her rabbit began to bang his head against his cage. She looked at the phone number that sent her the text message and it was an 8-digit phone number. When she called the number, all she heard was silence and some beeps, kinda' like a lifeline on a life support machine. She looked at the time and date the message was sent and it was sent on December 4, 2006. She recieved it a few weeks ago. WHAT THE HELL COULD THIS BE? No B.S. this really happened! Serious answers only, please.

So I understand the Christian reasoning for eating meat; man is special and above the animals in Gods eye... something like that.
I also understand the Buddhist reasoning behind vegetarianism (*all* sentient life is special).
But what ethical reason does an atheist have for killing (and almost always torturing) other animals for no reason (that I can see) other then cultural habit and their own personal desires?
Extra points if your ethical reasoning can also explain away the environmental destruction of raising 8 billion animals every year for slaughter.

How the Media Brainwashes White Girls
Sexually Racist Y! Music Ads*
Here is an example of how the media brainwashes white girls:
Presently, when you logon Yahoo, an ad for Yahoo Music Unlimited is displayed. If you logoff and them logon again, another ad for Yahoo Music appears. Each time, the picture for the ad usually changes. Within a space of half an hour, I printed four different pictures for the Yahoo Music ad.
Each picture consists of a man with two women. In each, the male is black; the white is female. In each, the black man is depicted with a white woman.
In one ad, a blond is standing toward the black man while all eyes are turned toward you, the viewer. In another, a white hand is reaching for the black man's chest, as if to unbutton his shirt.
You may scroll down the screen to see other ads. In each, a white man is depicted alone.
The message to white girls is simple: "Black guys are studs. White guys are losers."
Questions:
Is the media Jewish controlled? Do Zionists conspire to mix whites to extinction, and to mock white males in the process?

I'm one of those CRAZY atheists because that whole eternal life thing seems kinda like a drag. Plus, if a god did exist you would have to serve him forever. That sounds nauseating.
So would you like a god to exist or not? And why or why not?

The only way to stop racism is to stop the media and government from encouraging it.
Media encourages all the people to hate eachother because they force blame on all groups then blow issues out of porpotion. They degrade one race to believe they need to act a certain way and must stay in a state of uneducated stupor. Then they play on history when history should have nothing to do with how poeple should be today. If the media was ever trying to uplift a degraded people then those people should be proserporous today it is 2007, not 1850, 1955, 1965 but the age where people should be enlighted. Where the people should be filled with hope. Where we should have flying cars and moveing walkways, awsome public transportation systems. Where anyone could hop a monrail and go across the country in a day. What has happened? Government shows favoritism, forces blame, pretends to encourge then turns it's back on the people that it is trying to serve. Do they encourage hatred among the races?

Its been 10 months since I have been in a relationship. Between that time I have found that inner love I have for myself and for God. I told God I dont need to be with someone to be happy. And I dont need the drama that comes along with it. Recently, this girl has popped into my life. Is God giving me another chance at love? If so, why?

Christianity does not believe this world is a test ........ otherwise they would have to admit that deeds are important.
Therefore, if this life is not a test then why doesnt Jesus answer the prayers of Christians for innocent children etc ?

There are websites and blogs and newsgroups all over the world everyone is free to participate in not to mention all the denomination specific URLS like mormon or catholic specific websites. Does anyone really think christians are here for their own needs? I don't think so.... Just as christians disrupt public school cafeterias and public meeting areas with their whining and carrying on saying they are not allowed to practise their religion but in reality they are using bull horns and yelling disturbing the peace to try to force their religion on others. So, in the same way that is why christians are here on yahoo to offend and disrupt the rights of others. those poor christians are taught they are going to hell and live out the rest of their life in pityful agony and so with all their mental baggage they carry around they are jealous of the rest of mankind and here they are

Yes, they are man made metals, INVENTED IN THE 1800s.... Or am I wrong? I'll post the site in a second.

I don't see this behavior from Atheists, Agnostics, Jews, Pagans or Polytheists. I see this mostly from Christians. Why can't they/you just answer the questions that YOU YOURSELF have decided to answer of your own free will, without resorting to lame and unfair assumptions about the asker? And why the ad hominem attacks? I don't understand. I try to be open-minded about the people who follow mainstream religion, but the followers are some of the rudest individuals to hold a conversation with. I've found this out by conversing with them/you myself.
Seriously, people, you need to work on your manners. I mean this with all the love in the world. When my friends do something wrong, I tell them before they get immersed in it, and this is what I am trying to do now. I love you guys, but your arrogance is THE reason why you're disliked by the non-believers.
