Can you BELIEVE what this person is claiming about us? Who in their right mind would lie about something like that, and in such a transparent way? (Samhain hasn't happened yet, for example.) It's mean-spirited and pointless.

a few days ago when i woke up in the morning i SAW a girl with long black hair in a pink turtle neck sweater and she was wearing blue jeans and she was sitting on my computer chair about a foot away from my bed... she was barefoot and she was sitting with her head hunched over hugging her knees... I just stared at the girl for about a minute... i looked away to see if i could see her in the mirror but she was gone....

last night at around 930pm pst my stereo was turned OFF and all of a sudden it just started getting louder and louder playing the CD i had inside of it and then my brother just looked at me and turned it off and said wtf...

tonight just now just before i sat down to type this I was walking into my room and i heard a sound so i opened the door and while I was opening it I saw the girl for a blimp of a second and she dissappeared into the shadows on my walls...

somebody please wtf is happening??? is it ghosts or am i going psycho?

Lets say your dream comes true and religion is banned. Okay fine.

Now, what would be the realistic plans you would come up with to 1) address poverty, 2) racial and class inequalities, 3) health care issues, 4) immigration, 5) terrorism, or whatever you think is most important.

Im only asking this because it seems from YA! that the ego atheist have built up for themselves with being so enlightened and better thinkers and much more reasonable should make for some great answers. So go ahead and please solve all our problems. Thanks

he knows what you are going to do in the next second, minute, day? How can you have free will if someone knows exactly what you are going to do at anytime in the future?

I don't think so.

There is no proof of your existence... The only proof I have is the Avatar and the answers I see, but I can't really see your faces, how can I know you guys really exist? Just because I come here every night and interact with some of you? But maybe I have been just talking to myself, maybe you are just result of my conscience, maybe you are result of my delusion. Besides, all the things you say makes no sense to my reality and my own experience, therefore, if it doesn't make sense to me, it doesn't exist.

You don't exist...

All of us believers will be sitting pretty in Valhalla with its 540 doors and nightly feasts of boar and alcohol. You poor atheists will have to go to Hel and fight on the losing side during the Ragnarok.

do you believe that the universe has always been in constant motion and that there has never been a beginning but rather the universe is an infinite series?

I mean especially in terms of the unfolding of events in your life that made you certain it is part of God's plan in your life?

by predestined i don't mean God or someone else decided things for you, but rather the fact that if put in the same exact situation multiple times (say, in multiple universes) that you would behave the same way no matter what, and from such, have no choice over what happens?

I'm studying English, so want to know what this means:

Bill tells Jim that Black Dog was "a bad 'un" and "mind you, it's my sea chest they're after". (quoted from Treasury Island)

That BLACK DOG is A what? The 'un' looks like a slang. But what's it?

there are these two guys in my algebra 2 class that fight over who is better. one is african and the other is black. the black guy always calls the african a n....., because is dark, and he always says that he is "black as s...". but the thing i don't understand is they are both dark, just the african guy is darker. but i know a lot of black people that feel the same way about africans, but i don't understand why, since they are part african, and if their ancestors had not have been slaves then they would be in africa and they would be darker, because of the lack fo mixing.

anyway is the normal? i am not saying that all balcks are racists against africans, but do you think it is just their ignorance that makes them hateful or could it be deeper?

please don't take offense to this, and i KNOW all black people aren't like this but many that i know are and i have lives all over the US

I'm not an atheist but I'm curious to what they would say to someone. A child would be especially difficult for example?
