Society & Culture - 20 November 2007

I have, I know, I know - I don't like the way ppl are gearing up for xmas months before but I hate shopping when the shops are totally packed from mid December onwards...but then that means I have to start shopping early so I can avoid the crowds....but then that adds to the early Christmassyness of the shops, aaargh! So really the shops force us to shop early!

And I've been buying stuff on eBay and online shops, cos you have to buy it at least 3 weeks b4 Xmas to guarantee it'll be there in time what with unreliable royal mail etc.

or did you demand evidence?

Could it be that the main difference between you and us atheists is that we're far more stubborn and that you conform more easily?

I mean, if you did have questions from the very beginning, should you have chosen the path of logical reasoning, would you have eventually become atheists?

So that's it...we just kept asking the questions, you didn't challenge the answers you got...

Words like ‘faith,’ ‘believe’ and ‘salvation’. I mean, their entire doctrine comes from a translation from Greek or Hebrew into Latin then into English as we know it and at all of those steps, there must have been at least a few situations where the words that replaced the original text were chosen with a ‘close enough’ mentality. But the guys doing the translating had a backup plan anyway; all they had to do was make people believe they were inspired by God during the translation and they would burn in hell if they questioned it then the people would believe anything. Pretty clever plan, don’t you think?

Are you pro-breathing or anti-breathing?

Personally I'm pro-breathing. I think those who are anti-breathing are hypocrites.

Which presidential candidates do you think are anti-breathing?

I want to say Hillary Bush is against breathing, I will vote for Borat Obama

I am mormon, and have been my whole life. I believe the church is true, but I have to be honest, most of the so called explanations for the DNA evidence are disturbing to me. I know I have been taught my whole life that American Indians are descendants of the Lamanites. But when this new DNA evidence came out, the church is saying that they never taught it. I thought maybe I just assumed, but upon doing some research on lds.org I found numerous places in the D&C when Joseph Smith, and God in revelation to Joseph Smith refer to the American Indians as Lamanites. I also found numerous references from Prophets and apostles who did the same. Besides the intro which was changed was written by an apostle and it kind of bothers me that the church is throwing Bruce R. McKonkie under the bus to explain why it was wrong. Wasn't it written under direction of the first presidency? I want to believe, but this is trying my faith. Other Mormons, who can you reconcile this with your faith?

Then why do they need constant reassurance that they are? So many ahteists on here claim that they are smarter than Christians...then they will all post the same link to the one "study" that "proves" this.

So the ones that do make this claim over and over...what is that saying about them?

Isn't it like a football player who is no good, but still thinks he is better than others because he is on the football team?

Or the ugly cheerleader who still thinks she is hot because she is a cheerleader?

And why is it that theses two examples are usually the most arrogant of the group...self esteem problem?

So when an atheist makes a claim that "atheists are smarter than Christians", is he/she really trying to just feel better about themselves? Are they really saying, "I'm an atheist, so I must be smarter than Christians"?

The Aztecs Inca's and Myans followed their gods to the death, they did what they thought was right, and still we condemm them for being murderers, how can we do that? Will they go to hell because they didn't have a chance to follow Jesus, because they didn't have a chance to know him? That doesn't make sense to me, they did what they knew was right is it really their fault?

When you are a child you are told that santa claus, the easter bunny, and god are true. As you become older you realize that there is no tangible or visible evidence of any of these beings. So why do you stop your belief in santa and the bunny, but still believe in god?

NOTE - Atheism is not a religion. This is mainly aimed at Judaism, Christianity and Islam, but any religion will do.

Why are you right, when everyone else is wrong? What knowledge do you have that makes your faith the right one, over everyone elses? Can you prove it?
If, for example, you're a Christian born in the US, would you still be a christian if you were born in Saudi Arabia? If you were born in the middle east, and you were a Muslim instead, wouldn't Islam be the right faith?
Why are you the lucky one, to be chosen by god to have the one true faith, simply by demographics? Did god see to it that you were born where you were so that you would know the right faith?
Or has something else changed your faith along the way so that you don't follow what your parents follow? What was it?
