Thanks!

Is anyone actually more qualified to answer questions about atheism than atheists themselves?

When people say I hate Muslims, they are really saying " I hate Arabs". They often describe Christian Arabs as being of Muslim descent.

We don't have that problem with the president, or with our own parents, or with anyone else. We know they exist because we see them and hear them.

Many if not most Christian items and gifts fond in Christian bookstores or gift stores are Made in China. Even crosses. Many of these Chinese laborers probably have not really even been missioned to. They are buying possibly from the sweatshops or factories with questionable work conditions. Not "Christian" conditions at all or what Jesus would have prescribed of how workers should be treated.

The abuses of labor in China are widely known (Yes abuses, as in human rights abuses. Being made to work 12 hours or more, being beat, raped. Working around dangerous chemicals like lead. Widespread abuses) and some would question the ethics of paying people so little for and then making so much profit of them.

I think this is very wrong and hypocritical, how can it be Christian?

My coworkers make it their business to include themselves in work related and non work related conversations from across the room. I was told that this was a "cultural" difference that I need to basically accept. So to prove a point, I immulated this by doing the same thing back to them. Instead of getting the point they felt we had reached a common ground. So when they READ that this was a issue that I had - - their response was that "I DO THE SAME THING". So to test this theory they purposely threw out information talking loudly requesting the spelling of a word without formally addressing me. So NOT BITING I laughed at the situation... I IMMULATE EVERYTHING THAT HAS BEEN DONE TO ME, INCLUDING MAKING INTENTIONAL PAINFUL STATEMENTS TOWARDS SOMEONE & THEN FALSELY APPOLOGIZING FOR IT - - STATING THAT IT WAS NOT MY INTENT... BOO BOO FAR FROM BIPOLAR, I'M A CERTIFIED BULLSHITER!!! :)

Last night I watch the gov. of Georgia and others praying to the God of Israel for rain. Some people were protesting "Seperation of Church and State". I understand their argument (weak at best), but my question is this: Would you be upset if it rained in Atlanta today?

It seems like on the news every week you hear of some of the most bizarre and absurd things that one could even think of. Take for example the man in the story below:

I mean...what in the hell is up with people nowadays. Regarding the story above, there are just absolutely no words that can describe how beyond awful and disgusting something like that is.

Are people getting worse and worse?

It's sad when our children are more spiritually secure and mature than their adults. Most Catholics I know have no idea regarding their faith, leave after communion, wear their "faith" like a cultural badge, and basically don't know enough to have a good Christian conversation.

Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife. Tearfully she explained, "It's the druggist. He insulted me terribly this morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer the phone."

Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront the druggist and
demand an apology.

Before he could say more than a word or two, the druggist told him, “Now, just a minute, listen to my side of the story. This morning the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. Because of the my tardiness I skipped breakfast as I hurried out to my car, that's when I realized that I had locked the house with both house and car keys inside the house. Therefore, I had to break a window to get my keys. Then, driving a little too fast, I was awarded a speeding ticket. Later, when I was about three blocks from the store, I had a flat tire. When I finally arrived at the store a bunch of people was waiting for me to open up.

I opened the store and began waiting on customers, all the time the darn phone was ringing off the hook. At this point, I had to break a roll of nickels against the cash register drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I got down on my hands and knees to pick up the nickels and the phone was still ringing. When I raised up I cracked my head on the open cash drawer, which caused me to stagger backwards into a perfume showcase holding several bottles of perfume. Half of the bottles fell to the floor and broke.

Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally got back to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a rectal thermometer.


....And believe me mister, God as my witness, all I did was answer
her question.

Relax, I'm not trying to flame. I just was thinking about this video that my grandparents have. It is a home video taken at their church of a preacher who died of a heart attack while preaching. In the video, the preacher got really into his sermon and ended up shouting and then falling over dead. A bunch of people crowded around him while the camera was rolling. About a minute later a white bird flew up from the center of the crowd (where the preacher lay dead) and ascended diagnally and flew out of camera view. No one saw any white bird while they were there but it's on the camera clear as day. That's how I know that god exists. Anyone else have anything that they think is proof?
