...screwed up things, don't you?
How can this be? How does this make any sense? How can you say what is good or evil if you have no basis for morality other than your own selfish will?

Being an Atheist only means you do not believe in the existance of a diety. That's it.
Whatever else you may believe is wrong. People create their own opinions on what they believe in further and add it to being an atheist.
I'm sick of you people catorgorizing religion. and a question so this will be ligitamate...what is your personal belife?

everything in there is symbolism and is debatable, thats what being a christian is al about. Its about debate, if you want to know the truth behind the bible just lok it up online rather than saying its all bullshit and just throw it away. Why dont you just look the things up and debate with us? instead of throwing it away.

Rev. 18:2 And he cried out with a strong voice, saying: “She has fallen! Babylon the Great has fallen,....4 And I heard another voice out of heaven say: “Get out of her, my people, if YOU do not want to share with her in her sins, and if YOU do not want to receive part of her plagues.

Many of the atheists/agnostics in R&S seem to have come from a religious background. I would have thought that most atheists/agnostics would come from fairly secular backgrounds, and would not have had much religion in their upbringing. This is certainly what happened with me. What do you think and what is your experience?

I disagree with this assertion and need to make the case to sign up for cable. They think they're gonna sit around and waste the day away if the cable is turned on. I think there are many many benefits to cable. I work all day and I'd like to watch some TV!

Europe has a much higher population of Athiests than U.S. Also, China and India or not Christians or Catholics. So here is why most people in the U.S. are depressed - THEY BELIEVE THAT WE ARE ALL INHERENT SINNERS. That we must believe in god or perish in hell forever. So, "white-trash" is a slang term for the millions of families (mainly southern and midwestern families) who spread throughout the United States after the Civil War. "White-trash" families were heavily religious believing that you could physically and verbally beat your family into submission (control). That is the mechanism that the bible is (control) using it to get people to do what they do through FEAR.

Now, alot of psychological issues arose and past through generations of families. Depression being one of them (caused by "disfunctional families") Now we have a society of pill popping self medicating depressed people. Combine that with a materialistic culture. See why 1 billion chinamen are not depressed

'God' that you refer to when you either accept or reject its existence. In other words:

- If you are a Christian, this might be the "God of the Bible, as depicted in the OT and NT".

- If you are an atheist, you may reject the concept of God entirely but you have some notion of what hypothetical being you are rejecting.

- If you are a deist, you may have a concept of "God" that is a creator; what are its characteristics?

What is the definition of the word "God" that you use when you either accept or reject its existence?

I've heard so many "stories" that say that once a guy or girl gets their partners name tattooed on themselves, it is a curse and are doomed for breakup!?!....personally i think that a tattoo can always be covered up or taken off if anyone regrets what they previously gotten or thinks its a bad idea....i'm asking the people who have done it or knows someone who has done it....but if i was to get the name of my husband on me...would we be cursed?

Example. If any one says the earth is flat, you will laugh at them because you know the earth is round (we have sattelite images to prove it) If you fight the truth you will be laughed at for being stupid and ignorant and denying actual physical evidence.

My question is: If your religion is true, why do people attack it?

I don't know" you are being brave and honest. When a theist says "I don't know" they are being dishonest and are trying to dodge the question?
What do you have to say for yourselves now?
Therefore, God exists.

Someone who was a Baptist posted a question about what the Catholic Mass was like. - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AsgQ.DlzOUwF.YIvaNewbFnsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071017015049AAPbQIw&show=7#profile-info-xUbdHLo1aa Of the 19 responses, 7 were hostile to the Catholic faith. One "Baptist" warned that "the devil might tempt you into the catholic system" and suggested that he pray so "God will strengthen your will power and not give into the devil."

I posted the same question as a Catholic interested in going to a Baptist Church - http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnaviUIzeYrvvYtm7BoyLzvsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071017071505AA4jL4E Of the 17 replies, only two were critical of the Baptist church and it was in response to a comment about bringing Bibles to church

The fruits of the Holy Spirit are love, kindness, goodness, and gentleness. Why were these fruits missing from the answers of some of the non-Catholic Christian answers?

Like when life just started to be, there are two domains that were there from the begining th Bacteria and Archaea, which consist of various kinds of cells. Also, the third domain Eukarya, with cells which have a nucleus, and from which humans started evolving.

However, all of it is mostly assumed to be. Even thought there is "some" evidence of "animal fossils" and other factors etc.
I dont deny the evidence, but it still doesnt lead me to believe in evolution.

There is not enouth evidence to prove that evolution is true...

If Jesus did not say hwe was the son of God why did they execute him.

The charge was blasphemy! saying you were the son of God, and saying you can forgive sin, only God may forgive sin, so Jesus was arrested and tried for blasphemy.

They could not put a man to death under roman rule, so they saught permission from pilate the governor. Fearing a rebellion he gave the jews what they wanted.


Now all jews agree jesus said those words. But they see him as a liar, they agree he said thsoe words, but they do not beleive in what he said.

So with the evidence for thsis as evident

why do you contiune to deny that jesus even siad eh was the son of God,

quite clearly he did say so, quite clearly he was executed for something he said

so what did he say to have the whole sanhedrin religeous council persecute him?

what says you?

Do you do all of your grocery-type shopping in one place or do you split it up? For example, do you buy everything but paper products at the grocery, but buy all your paper products and toiletries at a discount department store? Also, do you take advantage of coupons? Do you take the time to comparison shop using sale papers, or just go to whichever place is closest? Thank you!
