We have heard that they belive that Satan put them there to test our faith in God, but that seems ridicilous.

I asked a couple questions today and mentioned a couple times that while I am a Christian, my husband is an atheist and I have had several "Christians" tell me that if I loved my husband I would try to make him into a believer of Christ.. so let me ask this..

My husband is a good man. he's an excellent father. he's faithful to me. He works long hours six days a week to provide for his family so that his wife (me) can be home witht he children because he feels that's important. He is kind to everyone and doesn't judge others' lifestyles. He doesn't try to tell me not to believe. In fact, he's happy that I am happy in my faith.

Forgive me if I insult you- but you are ALL judging other people unfairly when you claim that anyone who doesn't believe is bound for Hell. Do you realize that not believing isn't the only sin in the bible? So is judgint others- wearing make up- cross breeding cattle- and lying..

So what gives "christians" the right to say he's damned?

peace and love

We continue to find little pranks that the leprchaun has left oarund the house. Followed by a huge parade. Then later we dine on Cabbage and corbeaf. What else do you do?

Many christians assert that we "left god" because we had a terrible childhood, or something else awful happened in our lives. Is that the case for any of you?
I, personally, am an atheist because I believe god isn't real - not because of my rotten childhood. Thoughts?

Everyone answered correctly, there was no bag. So far so good. Why believe in the big bang when there was no bang in the first place (not even a small one)?

Technologists are jumping on the "transhuman" wave... basically they think technology can, should, and will be used to increase our health, intelligence, and prosperity.

Isn't this anti-Christian? If God wanted our minds and bodies to be more advanced, wouldn't he have done it himself?

I got married this past August and invited all of my family. I know some of them (several cousins in particular) didn't come because they are too poor. When I had my bridal shower, only one of those cousins came (with her mom), and they gave me a gift, which I appreciated and sent a thank-you note for.
I knew they couldn't come and are pretty poor so I didn't expect a gift, but did expect at least a $1 "congratulations" card in the mail shortly after. Nothing came. The only thing that did was from the cousin who attended the bridal shower, she sent me $30 which I greatly appreciated and thanked her for. My other cousin, who was also invited, never sent a card, or even an email telling me congratulations. Neither did her mom, sister, or aunt (whom are all my second cousins but we are close). Anyway, she wrote my mom an email the other day outlining how great her life is with her boyfriend, how she moved to Ohio, and never asked about the wedding, or anything... should I be mad?

I just got took for $4.70. A guy came into the shop saying that his car broke down, (the timing belt went out). His grandmother and grandfather and two nieces are with him and and they only have .30 cents cash. It's a $1.00 per person for the bus. I gave $4.70 of my change. Then I watch him and he walks right past the bus stop, then I think well he has to walk back and get the rest of his family. Well it's been 30 minutes and he's long gone. He didn't look like a bum, he was clean well dressed, had a cell phone?

I'm single and every penny counts.
Of course, this is nothing to the $250.00 I paid for a boxer puppy I never got. I saw the puppy, it did exist. Then on the day I'm suppose to pick it up, it got into antifreeze and died. I never got my money back.

Why I'm I such a sucker? Should I just say no?

Do you believe that God still talks to us now, or are the heavens closed to further revelation?

"Why are there atheists here on R&S?!"...

Obviously if someone has been here long enough to discover that there are atheists on R&S, they have been here long enough to see their question asked two hundred and eighty three (I counted) times an hour. Right?! Or do they just come in here randomly from other sections and quickly hit "Ask" to blurt this question out, assuming there are atheists here?

I need some ideas for Christmas gifts for my nieces and nephews that aren't expensive. The girls range in ages from 7 to 12. (One is 7 and the other 5 are 9 -12.)The boys are 6 and 13 respectively. I was thinking maybe journals for the older girls with writing pens to go along with. I haven't any ideas for the boys and my youngest niece.Any one have ideas?
