I work with Doctors and Engineers and they are so ever picky. Last year I bought wine and it was like thanks, they are BIG wine drinkers and I couldn't afford bottles of wine that they would drink. My co-workers are buying ordiments and the other is giving coffee or teas gift baskets from Costco. I have 8 people to buy for and would like to spend about $20.00 per person. Do you have any suggestions?

In this question

http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Ahm3mondrLuVx0ZQMAiEUEzsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20071114063246AApVwAM&show=7#profile-info-u8ILIhh4aa

the first answer says that the questioner is asking that atheists "Use logic to prove the non-existence of a being I posit is impervious to logic."

is this how atheists feel Christians debate?

I have been having an ongoing conversation with my boyfriend about how most people in our generation respond to these ideas conceptually- perhaps without any direct experience to work from.

So, if you could post your answers to these three questions, I would be grateful. Nuances are also appreciated over a simple "yes" or "no".:

1. Do you believe that homosexuality has moral implications?

2. Do you believe one race of people to be superior to another (or all others)?

3. Do you believe in a God/Gods, and- whether you do or not- what is your belief about how the universe came into existence, and what God's role in moral behavior is?

But it doesn't seem to be working.

Does anyone have any suggestions? People are starting to look at me kind of strange and I believe they're about to call the police.

Seriously, sleeping, video games, etc, I can't think of any.

Prayer does not accomplish anything at all. Statistically, it's been tested and proven, re-tested and re-proven, over and over again. People who pray are no more likely to win the lottery, support a Superbowl winning team, get a promotion, or get home before the storm hits. In many cases, prayer has had negative effects (because prayer is often subsituted for constructive actions.)

I know the Christians are going to either argue vehemently or accept that I will "never understand," etc.

But atheists, can you think of a bigger waste of time than prayer? I can justify everything I can come up with.

be honest, if the leaders of your religion told you a claim which he said proved the existence of the god of your religion, how likely are you to investigate that claim for its veracity? if you knew the claim was at the very least a misconception, if not a flat out lie, would you be willing to correct him?

According to one Mormon apologist, "I'm not sure - they were taken from Joseph by the same angelic being that showed him their original location. We await their return for the translation of the remaining 2/3 of the Book when the time is right.... " It is easy for Joseph Smith, Jr. to say "The angel took the gold plates away." The Mormon's will even reason, "If you need to see the plates to believe the Book of Mormon, do you need to see the ark to believe the Old Testament or the missing documents of Paul and Luke to believe the New Testament? I hope your faith is not that weak. (sic)" Wow. They really do not understand that the Old and New Testament has numerous manuscripts evidence written by not just one person but several people. Unlike the Book of Mormon which is written by Joseph Smith, Jr. alone. Are you really serious in banking your soul on the subjective opinion of this man who claimed he is the so-called "prophet" of God?

I think alot of people in america refer to it as 'regifting' - would you feel offended?

I wouldn't cos it saves the person money and they'd probably only give you something because when they recieved it they thought 'umm i won't really use this but X would like it'. I might be abit offended if it was something they knew really wasn't my taste tho - cos then it would show they weren't being thoughtful but its still more thoughtful than giving no gift!

The after life do u believe in heaven and hell, or reincarnation. I honestly don't know if i do. if i knew it existed i wouldn't of been able to post this question. How do u know that it just doesn't turn black when u die, nothing , no love, cold, warmth, nothing, nothing but nothingness. How do we know that this life isn't the only thing. i personally cannot accept this as the only thing in life. It's to hard to think that we are born to live this one life then when u die it's all over. How do we know were gonna be happy in the after life. How do we know it's all perfect and were gonna be happy. Heaven, my heaven would be on a beach with the person i love and be totally enwarped up in each other that nothing around us bothers us. Haveing someone to care about that would care about me back. It's to hard to accept this though, if god does exist then why would he put people threw this kind of personal hell i'm going threw, is this all worth it, could tylenol be a friend? HELP!!!?????????

Is it true there is no afterlife in the jewish tradition?

I've heard this somewhere and am wondering if it's true: no paradise, no eternal life, no resurrection...?

Our nearest star, Proxima Centuri, is 4.2 light years away. Judging from our present knowledge about what we know about the limits of space travel, and the sheer distances involved, it is extremely unlikely that Man will ever reach Proxima Centuri or beyond. It is simply too far away.

Also, if you believe we are alone in this Universe, then why was the Universe created so vast? It is like keeping a single Goldfish in the Atlantic.

I'd like to hear your thoughts.

I am going to do a debate on why the US should have their students learn other languages starting in Elementary school. I already know Sweden, UK and Norway do but what others? If you could let me know and put in sources that would be great. Thank you very much!
