Is this like a rain dance?
Is it a reminder to their god that they need rain? Are they afraid he's forgotten, or that he might be angry at them and withholding the rain as a form of punishment?

He still has strong feelings. Plus I am already involved with someone (although its a one-sided relationship) who I am serious about. I simply don't want an ex to spoil things in my life, nor, do I want to raise his hopes or get tempted. What shd I say to make him see reason??? He says we share a friendship and we should always be friends given how much we like talking and sharing. Yes, we share a great "talk" chemistry, but, I am sure it is clearly inappropriate given the circumstances. Why can't he understand I am uncomfortable?

I am still young, but i am an Atheist all the way..

When i have kids, I really don't want them to live their
life like there is a God and be brainwashed saints that
never live life to its fullest with so many boundaries that effect their morals and values.

Here is the real question.. Do i take them to church every Sunday hoping they will rebel sooner or later... OR ...Do i
tell them there is no God and hope they don't listen to some
religious freak.

If they have little knowledge about God.. i'm afraid they are
inclined to be swayed by a church go-er.
BUT
I don't want them going to church and believing all their life :/

I KNOW it's their decision.. but i am trying to help them here..

What do you think? (mainly directed towards fellow atheists, but all answers are welcome)

This seems to be a very touchy subject for many folks
these days. A lot of preachers have been under the
gun lately for talking about prosperity. Which does not
always mean money, but an abundance of every aspect
in one's life. Now some say it is not for everyone to
hear. And there are others who say that it is wrong for
a preacher to be positive, when there is sin in the land.
Then you get the Hellfire and Brimstone sermon, all
the other days.... But I find that many Christains lack
motivation, and is need for inspiration. And that is
where prosperity comes in. Only the good apples get
mixed up with the bad. I don't think the CHURCH, should
be held accountable for preaching about prosperity.
In the end we all will be judged. So what do you think ?
Is it wrong, for preachers to preach about prosperity ?
Best answer wins. *

What makes you think atheists would attribute it to YOUR religion's god?

As opposed to the other several thousand with equal proof of existence?

(I personally would see it as an act of Marduk. So there.)

In terms of morality/honour/integrity is non penetrative sex the same as sexual intercourse ? Was Monica Lewinsky engaged in no more than petting/foreplay/pretend sex or did she have sex with Bill Clinton ?

I am a uk citizen and I have nothing but respect for the (old farts) as you call them.
These brave men and woman came to the UK, and flew planes over Germany during the last war. They helped us to win the war against Nazi Germany, and gave their lives in doing so. Old Farts, indeed you should hand your heads in shame.

Scientific fact is independently verifiable.

Belief in a creator is not.

It may seem like a subtle difference, but in fact it is a massive one.

Since 95 % of religion consists of pretending to know things that you do not know, I think the answer is clear.

They aren't the only religion that changes their scripture, their early history and can tap dance.

Can't we all just get along?

explaining exactly how everyone actually believes the way you do?

"There are no atheists in foxholes"
"Even atheists pray when desperate, they just don't realize it"
"Everyone believes in a creator, many are just too stubborn to admit it."

Do I need to go on?
