When I left my tray on the table at a food court, a friend of a fellow employee took it upon himself to remove my tray and say to me " don't you consider other people who may want to sit there? My answer was that they hire people to do that job and if you do it then they might be laid off. As in a restaurant, the "bus boy" removes the dishes. Do you remove your dirty dishes in a restaurant ? No...........then why do it here? I'm sure in a restaurant other people are waiting to be seated. So my question is .....why behave differently in a food court than you would in a restaurant.

Do you feel alone in the Universe? Does it make you cynical? Do you believe in miracles? What is the purpose of life to an atheist?

You see i grew up going to Catholic church, bu after a while my family and i stoped going for a while, but then after i started going to Christian church and i enjoyed it and got into, that i even i got baptize in a Christian church....then for some reason, i wasn't happy there, it felt like something was keeping from being happy.....

After almost two years of struggling with that, i finally decided to go back to Catholic church for one day only to see how i felt, and i gotta say after that day i felt different and felt that all of my problems were just lifted off of my shoulders, and that's when i realize that i have to be back in Catjholic church....

I feel more comfprtable there and happy, so is it ok to return to Catholic after i already been baptize in a Christian church?........

Any religion that has so much racism and hatred can`t really be of God. They are only loving inside the four walls of their church.

(my experience) i did. i was scared to admit that i had my doubts, but i knew deep, deep down i couldnt truly believe, even though i wanted to believe... all those years i felt trapped, it seemed like it was very wrong to doubt. it seemed like everyone was able to believe except me. it also felt like an obligation to believe. and that fed my fear even more to admitting my doubts. therefore, it felt like i lacked the freedom to express and admit how i truly felt.

i jumped those hurdles (slowly, but i managed) and now i am openly what i truly always was...atheist. one of the biggest things that made me realize it was safe to not believe, is the fact that i live in a free country where i can be who i am and believe what i do believe (it took me a long time to realize that).... i am very thankful for that!


may i please hear some of YOUR experiences??

Just wondering. He didn't like Christians at all, so why do people attribute the Holocaust to Christians?

There were few, all across the board that risked their lives before it was widespread knowledge about what was happening. That is pretty common though- people won't stand up until everyone else is. Anyway.. The real question is, what do you attribute big ... 'mistakes',.... 'cruelties',... whatever you want to call them of humanity? When people do really bad things, and follow bad leaders- why?

Sorry if the questions aren't perfectly formulated, I hope you get it.

Do you also blame him for the bad? How do you differentiate? As far as I've seen, all of my Christian friends thank God for EVERYTHING that goes well, and when something goes wrong it's either "That's the effect of free will," "God doesn't always stop bad things from happening," or "It's part of God's plan."

So when do you decide that something good hasn't come from God and how can you justify giving God thanks for ALL the good things in your life? Surely if only SOME bad things are attributable to God, then it's entirely possible that only SOME good things are too.

Mark 24-27

24: Jesus left that place and went to the vicinity of Tyre. He entered a house and did not want anyone to know it; yet he could not keep his presence secret.

25: In fact, as soon as she heard about him, a [heathen non-Jew] woman.......came and fell at his feet.

27: "First let the children eat all they want," he told her, "for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the DOGS (non-Jews)."

As I go back to check my answers too often I notice that every other answer has either a number of thumbs up or thumbs down but my answer is blank, having neither.
What should I make of this?

I must admit I am quite ignorant of the matter. When I think of Wiccans and Pagans I think that your faith is not as strong as other religions. I find you to be more open to other beliefs and also able to change your minds.

Am I wrong on this. Can you explain what you see as a fundamental aspect of your religion that you believe.

Thank you :D

it's a sin to be gay right?

what if those people are proven to be born that way? would that mean God made a mistake in creating human beings, or would it mean God actually made them sexually attracted to the same sex, OR would it just mean the bible was lying when it said God made homosexuality a sin?
