in other words, the children never hear about any god from any source. Will they develop a religion on their own? Will they somehow know about jesus christ? Is anyone out there willing to try it?

Religion seems to be little more than a coping mechanism for those with sufficient anxiety about their own mortality. It serves as a need fulfillment mechanism in this respect, to reduce anxiety.

What's wrong with death being the end?

Like I said in the heading this question is solely about the belief in a soul, I'm not attacking your God.

Anyway, why do you believe in a soul? What is it about humans that lends evidence to us having a soul?
Also, why do you believe animals don't have souls? Is it because animals are not sentient like humans? Well, there is evidence that dolphins, elephants and gorillas have a conciousness and may be sentient. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animal_cognition

Why do they not have a soul? Why are they not accountable to God?

Confused on what to do!
It's almost been 9 months since a friend of mine and I spoke. We never met; it was all online; text message; snail mail (letters). We met through a mutual friends of ours. I was a prospect at her college, so thats how we started talking and it turned int a friendship. She sent me Xmas letter ;gifts. I sent her a gifts etc. Basically she said something that bothered me (she questioned my sexuality), but she was very clumsy and rude about it too. She didn't see nothing wrong with asking, but she never apolgized. She said I had traits that she learned in her bio class- described one. I gave her a chance & after that she changed. I had to basically start the conversation & I felt like she wasn't the same person I met. I never let her know why I stopped talking to her. I didn't think she'd care. But should I go clean & tell her everything?..even after all of this time?..*She is graduating-so would it be wrong for me to at least congratulate her?..*-to keep "peace"

Why do non believers think it is their duty in life to email christians and put their religion down. I dont email non believers and try to convert them, you believe what you like, but you in the end will stand alone to defend your potion, trust me I wont be there.
Question : why do you have to spew your anti-God venom at innocent targets, like myself

can we Christians trust you to be honest if you can't sincerely swear to God or swear on the Bible? To tell you the truth, that's why Christians would never vote one of you into public office. We don't trust anyone who can't swear on the Bible. Everyone knows that once you swear on the Bible it renders you completely incapable of going back on your word without condemning yourself to eternal torment. We want our honest folks to fear God, and the liars to suffer in the lake of fire.

Doesn't this make sense to you?

Superstition, in the long run, isn't really helpful.
But, does that mean that atheists should be trying to guide and teach the god-believers? It seems kinda cruel to just forget about them and not at least try to teach them.

Evidence like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKb1LXxKNHY

Though I doubt you'd spend 15 minutes listening to a science geek explaining how genetic markers indicating an absorbed retrovirus are passed down from species to species to species through the evolutionary process.

Basically, finding endogenous retroviral sequences in identical chromosomal positions of two different species indicates common ancestry. And we DO find retrogenes in the "same chromosomal place" when we look at great apes (chimps, gorillas, orangutans, gibbons) and humans. That means apes and humans have a common ancestor.

What about this evidence do you not find persuasive?
