Mine was with the same sex. I guess I'm just saying that we can know we are gay at an early age. I was 14 and so in love with this girl.

Please refrain your arguments to secular ones as we don't all hold the same religious beliefs.

Do we hold the same intrinsic worth as that of animals, as we are merely just the animal with the greatest intellect as the consequence of natural processes? If so, then it would be just as wrong to kill a dog as it would a human.
Are we of more worth because our intellect allows us to be rational beings with a sense of morality? If this is the fundamental thing that makes humans of greater worth, does it follow those humans whom are incapable of being rational and holding a sense of morality are not part of this group (ie. the very mentally retarded, the cold blooded and the very selfish)?

I am an atheist. I don't know how this world was formed. I don't know what happens when we die. I don't know how this world will end. Are you, as a Christian, grown up enough to accept that your belief (which you are entitled to) is nothing more than a belief and not absolute truth?

If someone believes in a different god, they are decieved by Satan. If we find something against Christianity, it was planted by Satan. If a Christian leaves Christianity, they were led astray by Satan. He just seems to be a neat little loophole doesn't he?

Babylon in its literal sense is the name of an ancient city on the Euphrates river (modern day Iraq). It was to this city and its environs that the Israelites were deported by the Babylon king Nebuchadnezzar in 587 B.C, They were released in 538 by Cyrus, the Persian.
Babylon, because of this experience, came to be a term for evil governments and was applied in a figurative sense to pagan institutions. This figurative use was carried into Christian times by converts from Judaism, the Apostles among them. In the early years of Roman persecution, Babylon became a code word among Christians for pagan Rome. It is in this sense that the name "Babylon" for pagan Rome is used by John in Revelation (14:8) and by Peter (in Pt 5:13). The idea that the word applies to the "Roman" Catholic Church has no justification in fact.
It was born of the anti-Catholic feeling of the Reformation era.

Theists claim that...
The universe is TOO GREAT to not be created.

Then they say....
God is TOO GREAT to be created.

Make up your minds! How is God exempt from the first claim? If EVERYTHING must be created, then how can you theists be so arrogant and hypocritical as to re-define "everything" to fit your needs so God can oh-so-nicely not be under it. So everything COMPLICATED needs a designer? Yet the designer is the MOST COMPLICATED thing *ever* and it doesn't need a designer?

Falling into your own traps theists. And you wonder why atheists don't just "have faith". Well, what I just said may have something to do with it.

I am almost certain they don't since probably their religion prohibits it. But I am curious.

I'm writing a paper on the sacraments portrayed in Les Miserables(the movie), but I'm having trouble finding them. I was thinking of writing about the sacrament of reconciliation or the Eucharist, I'm just not sure which one, or if I should write about a different sacrament. Does anyone have any ideas?

Though legitimate tranlations shows Christ being worshiped by the angels in this verse, the NWT shows Christ being shown
o b e i s a n c e by the angels. The JWs say worship is to be " directed only toward God, " not toward Jesus Christ ( Reasoning from the Scriptures , 1989, 215 )

Many atheists, pagans and pantheists have studied the Bible and other religious texts in-depth in their attempts to believe. Some would qualify for degrees in religion, and a few actually hold these degrees. Telling an orthopedic surgeon the difference between a spiral fracture and a greenstick fracture doesn't make much sense, especially after (s)he has already diagnosed a sprain. Do you accept that others have the information, understand it and have dismissed it? Or do you make yourself look like an embacile by telling people who know the scripture better than most preachers to "read the Bible"? The only person who looks foolish in this situation, is the one who THINKS they know better than the poor, pitiful hellbound heathens. Any opinions?
