I know this isn't religion- but I want instant gratification. You all answer immediately. And it is related to religion in a way, as churches could play a part in helping the neighborhood.

1. Kids of all races used to play together in our neighborhood. However, once they hit 7th-8th grade they start breaking up into grups based on race. Is there any way to encourage the kids to still cross racial boundries for friendship?

2. We are seeing more and more poverty, single parents, drugs and crime. What are some ways we can be a force for good in our neighborhood?

3. What can we do to encourage people to stay in our neighborhood? We don't want "White flight" to occur- we would prefer a blended community where people become close- no matter what skin color or language they speak.

A conversation with an atheist that can speak their mind in a logical and understandable manner, clearly explaining their viewpoints and opinions

OR

A conversation with a devout believer who uses excerpts from the bible as their only source of explanation with no opinions of their own?

AND WHY?!?!

You could still be religious and have all the happy religious faith all you want. You just would never be able to go to church for any reason or pray ever again. And if you are really worried about it, just ask for forgiveness and you would still be able to go to heaven (assuming religion is correct).

Atheists have shown that they can make fun of themselves, here and elsewhere:

Can Christians? Or do they take themselves too seriously?

I can't tell really because of how often accounts get suspended.

This is my original account, so as you can see, I've been around since (I think) May of this year.

Would God allow this to happen to a blessed nation or a cursed nation ?

As for myself I find it worse than any porn material, a sin that can be forgiven, but in using GOD's name in vain one will not be held blameless so why is it permitted. For those that scream freedom of speech, there is still that freedom, restricted in a rating system just like porn, so why not support such a Bill ?

When insulted (even if it was by an obvious troll or as a joke), most of them respond with humor. I have a feeling if the same question was posed to Christians, many more would be offended and only a few would take it so light-heartedly.

Or are "Spencerist" free market ideas and evolution completely separate spheres of activity? I mean the idea that we evolve is often opposed by those who believe in a winner take all free market economy. So it's OK to believe in "survival of the fittest" when it benefits one's pocket, but not in church or in the teaching of science.
