OK, this really happened to me so don't get all offended by the specifics.

I'm an atheist. My sister is not. She's been taking her kids to church the last few months and a few weeks back my five year old nephew told me the following: "When I get sick, Jesus pukes and that's how I get better". As an atheist, what should I have done in that situation?

(Also, in that scenario I kinda feel bad for Jesus. That's a lot of puking he has to do every day in order to allow sick people to get better.)

since we have freedom of religion here in the u.s., i can only assume we have the right to form new religions so long as they are not unconstitutional in their nature. that being said, if someone formed a new religion such that homosexual marriage was deemed ok, on what grounds would you deny them their constitutional right to get married?

You know God is:
All-Powerful - Has the power do to anything without limits.
All-Seeing - Can see anything and everything.
All-Knowing -Knows absolutley everything in the world that has ever happened, is happening, or will happen and anything else that there is to know (even what you're thinking) with no boundaries to his knowledge.

So, seeing as he made all of us, would he not know what we'd turn out to be before we were even born? And therefore, when he made someone who happens to be gay, God would have known this before the person even knew that he/she was gay, and yet he didn't stop it. Since you claim God hates gays or the act of homosexuality, then why would he knowingly create someone who He knew would be gay?

If you say that He didn't, but the person "chose" to be gay against God's will, then why didn't God know that this was going to happen before he made the gay person? Are you trying to say that he's NOT all-knowing or all-powerful?

I am not interested in Christianity, Judaism, or Islam - so don't even try it.

I was thinking about joining a Unitarian church - but I'm not really into activism and social justice - or the pressures of donation. I do like their other principles.

I want to be able to go to a place that doesn't judge you or expect anything of you. I just want to learn more about spirituality and the interconnectedness of things.

The library is lonely - and I've tired of self-study.

Where can I go? Are there spiritual centers? Should I just take classes at the Annex? What do you do?

Please respect the community guidelines as you answer.

Someone did this earlier, and I thought seeing the diversity was pretty neat. So lets do another twist on it.

1. Religion (Christian/Mustlim/Atheist(yes I know it isn't a religion), don't have to be specific)

2. Profession/Career

3. Expertise in your field on a scale from 1-10

I'll Start.

1. Christian
2. Software Engineer
3. 8

If we do not have souls, then what makes us human? Does it have to do with our experiences or is it some kind of balance between our productivity and consumption. If we consume more then we produce (like elderly or infants) might we be euthenized?
