Why is it that people hate atheists so much?
Did you know that 90% of university professors are Atheist.
Most of the smartest people in our planet do not believe in any main religion. Yet America makes people closet their atheist beliefs.

And don't say i have no proof... They've done poles at the top 20 major universities in the world including Harvard, Oxford, Yale, Princeton and i believe the number was 88% of all PHD are Atheists. the other 12% probably study film.

...that fame, money, celebrity, talent, awards, etc. make for very lousy gods; and that those in vain pursuit of earthly gain, treasure and recognition are ultimately lonely, miserable and depressed....

.....forced to anesthetize their pain with drugs and alcohol because - having achieved everything they've ever dreamed of, they wake up one day and realize - it STILL isn't enough?!?

And that in the final analysis - without GOD, without FAITH, without JESUS CHRIST - life really has no meaning or purpose?!?

Don't these "Celebrity Train-Wrecks" prove the shallow, empty existance provided by the world and those who love the world and seek all the world has to offer?!?

i've been kicking this thought around in my head for a few weeks now...what if..

what if the government, in order to eliminate smoking (or lower numbers), made it so that for every 1000 packs of cigarettes made...one was poison. If you smoked a cigarette from a poisoned pack..you would die a painful death.

do you think people would still buy cigarettes or even continue to smoke?

ps i am a smoker....and i'd quit. and let's say that there's no way of getting cigarettes imported from other countries.

i'm not saying this should be done. (how awful!)..but i thought about writing a short story about it. i was just wondering everyone's opinion.

as well as friends, both reported being visited by the angel gabriel (about having a son) and both were pregnant at the same time?
Doesn't this just scream "conspiracy"?

How many translations are there?

It is clear that we are to obey the New Testament and not the Old, and most any sin you want to name is already named in the New Testament as something we shouldn't do.
The Old Testament has us stoning witches, prostitutes, not eating certain foods, doing animal sacrifices, not having the Holy Spirit, keeping the Sabbath and many other things..
Why is there so much confusion in Christians over keeping the Old Testament law and the New Testament laws.
We are obviously in the New, but many are confused by this, why??

Okay. I would like to explain emo to a select few stereotypes.

FIRSTLY: not all emo's cut their wrists, and it was never supposed to be that way. "emo" means EMOTIONAL. emotions tend to lead us to do strange things. someone could be clearly normal - just emotional - and still have a "cutting problem."

SECOND OFF: there are three types of emo people. 1) those who are nothing like emo who say they are. 2) those who like emo clothes/emo people but do not call themselves emo. 3) straight up emo.

THIRD OF ALL: emo is no a cry for attention. it is a way of life. a true emo will not brag about being emo. it is the people around us that label us and tell us how we are desperate for attention. stop acting superior. we aren't acting this way for you.

FOURTH AND FINALLY: have something to say?? im all ears. xxoo_music_ooxx@yahoo.com is my email. tell me what your opinion is so i can clear it up for you.

What's the deal? I've asked two questions about psychics and have gotten hardly any answers. I've also asked many people to contact me via e-mail & have not received any. When I do get new answers, it doesn't show it in my e-mail, even though I have it set to.

Anyway, I am really really interested in communicating with anyone who is psychic or think they may be. I do not have an instant messenger, but e-mail works fine. If you are interested, answer this question or e-mail me clicking my avater.

Please, no rude answers. This is serious to me.

So can they? If some one lies and cheats on numerous occasions, being so called repentent each time, they still expect to be forgiven by god?
That means then that you can go through life doing as you please, hurting as many people as you like, 'repent', and still go to heaven. No wonder it's got the following it has. Talk about get out of jail free card.
